Dog Walkers in Acton, ME

“Dawn is the best, we feel so lucky to have found her! We get the cutest pictures and detailed updates every day. It is clear to us that she genuinely enjoys spending time with our dog. He is a hound so it is important to us that Dawn lets his nose lead the way to explore. Wholeheartedly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a caring, flexible and personable sitter/walker.”

“Marlo has done an excellent job walking/taking care of our French bulldog Luna, and has been highly communicative after each walk. I would highly recommend Marlo!”

About: Hi, my name is Sam. I’ve been working with various types of animals for years. I have mostly had dogs my entire life all breeds. I worked in several different dog kennels and doggy daycare‘s over the past seven years and I’ve also started taking in dogs that need homes or dogs that need to be rehabilitated before they are adoptable. I also have experience with cats. Meeting new dogs meeting, new people and spending time to learn their personalities individually. I have experience and taking care of dogs that have behavioral issues and need more training skills. I also specialize in senior care dogs as well and I’m also pet CPR certified. We have also attached some photos of some old clients and also some of our animals we have had in the past. My schedule currently I’m home full time. I take our animals out every 2-3hrs and last outs are at 9pm. But if they have a special needs or are working on certain situations, we take them out more often. Our dogs go for long walks everyday. I can either crate your dog if need be, and or they can have a certain part of our home for bed /rest time. I do not have a fenced in yard at this time but i do take them out regularly for walks and always have eyes on them.

About: Animals have always been apart of my life. I have owned and cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, and hamsters. Animals bring out so much love and joy in my life and I give them all the love and care that I can! I make it a point to be well experienced and researched in their individual needs and behaviors to best care for them. I am a stay-at-home mom so my schedule is open and flexible. Weekdays and Weekends are both open in my schedule and I can be accommodating. I am comfortable walking and playing with dogs/cats of all sizes, I am strong and know how to lead and divert unwanted behavior. I make sure water and bathroom breaks are a priority. I am comfortable crating if that is requested. I will always respect your pet and your home.

About: Hi! I'm Tara. I'm an animal lover, experienced pet + house sitter, and entrepreneur with the freedom to make my own hours + work from anywhere. :) That being said, you can have peace of mind knowing there will be someone caring, loving, and responsible watching over your fur babies most hours of the day! I often form instantaneous bonds with animals within our first meeting, and will always treat your pet as if it were my own. I enjoy interacting with them, staying active with them, and cuddling with them! I also do Reiki, so if your pets are feeling anxious at all, I can bring in some calming energy for them! My relationships with my clients and their pets are always built on trust, respect, and reliability! _____________________________________ MY STORY: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a little kid – I grew up with dogs (golden retrievers/huskies), a rabbit, hamsters, rats, goldfish, and a turtle, and would also take care of my neighbor's cats, rabbit, and ducks whenever they were away. When I started my own design + marketing business back in 2013, I decided to try pet + house sitting to help me pay my bills while I built my dreams. This turned out to be a great experience and since then, I have grown a nice little pet + house-sitting business on the side. :) I recently moved back home to the East Coast from San Diego, CA, and have started rebuilding my clientele in the Seacoast area. Over the past year and a half, my business has grown amazingly quickly, and I have had nothing but positive experiences!

“Chelsea is a huge animal lover. She rescued/adopted three dogs, each with their own health complications, and maintains on top of their appointments and medications. She is caring and patient with her pets and shows them a lot of love. I am sure she will do the same for your pet(s). She is responsible, honest, and trustworthy. Most importantly, she will keep your pet happy and safe.”

“I have known Lauren for almost a decade and I have never met anyone else who cares more about animals. To say that animals are her passion is an understatement. She has watched my dog more times than I can count. I have always felt secure that my dog is the safest and best taken care of when she is with lauren. I know that Lauren would put any animal in her care above everything else. She is a true animal lover and someone anyone could trust their loved animals with.”

“Samara has petsit for my dogs for many years and we couldn’t love her more! She is incredible with the dogs - attentive, loving, able to read their needs and responds with tenderness. She is also amazingly responsible with our home. We always come back to a perfectly clean and safe house - plants watered, packages brought in, etc. She is highly responsive via text and sends pics/updates throughout to let us know our pups are safe and happy. You couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter!”

“She treats her own dogs like there her kids that makes me feel good. She also fosters puppy that are about 8 weeks old so she can handle the little ones to the old ones.”
