Dog Walkers in Acton, ME

About: I've been caring for animals my entire life, I started working at a dog kennel when I was 14 then I moved to a daycare and now I work at a rescue. I've had lots of experience in the animal care fields, I've done bathing, nail trims, administered medication, light training, and just all around pup exercise! I've cared for senior pets as well as pups around 5-6 months. Animals are my passion and I treat each one with the respect and care they need to feel safe and comfortable while in my care. Im currently working, but I've been pet sitting for years and wanted to expand now that I have more availability. I'm home from 3:30 on and on Wednesdays and Thursdays all day. My doggies at home run and romp around during the day while I'm at work, I come home on lunch to let them all out to potty and play for a bit and then after work it's non stop until bedtime! :) I have a fenced in backyard for your pup to run and play, also an unfenced front yard for those off leash friends! I have 4 dogs of my own 2 little and 2 big, to keep your furry friends company while they stay. I have numerous crates to use if needed to make your pup comfortable. Your dogs will become my family during their stay here! I send pictures and updates of your pups during their stay, to make you feel more comfortable and see what your furry pal is up too! Having many dogs makes it hard for company but, I come right to you once you arrive, or can sometimes offer pick-up service.

About: As a dog mom and foster dog mom I know how important peace of mind and safety are for a parent while you’re away, even just to work for the day. I’ve been a dog sitter for a long time, some work on Rover and some for friends and family. You’ll notice a gap in my review dates - I took a break from Rover while we personally had three dogs, one that wasn’t strange dog friendly. We also moved out of state, bought / built a home, and got married. All of that to say, I’m happy to provide more recent references for you to check so you feel super warm and fuzzy that I’m the good animal loving human I claim to be :) I’ve had the privilege of loving and unfortunately saying good bye to two senior dogs so I know the extra level of compassion they need - an extra potty break, a slow easy walk, meds / injections, or just a human shield from an excited younger dog sibling. I’ve also successfully raised and trained a few puppies to be those respectful younger siblings and know what challenges come from that stage of life. I’m enjoying a season of wonderful flexibility and want to share that with your furry family members and ease your stress. My two dogs love playing with other dogs, always slow intros and vetting first or separate play is always an option too. Our backyard is expansive and a good size of the land is fenced in by 48” high plastic vinyl fence. Since my husband and I are active fosters, much of our home is gated to keep snoots out of places they could find trouble. We also have the space and ability to separate dogs (crated or uncrated) for strategic down time, rest due to injury healing, or just to de-stimulate before returning to the fun. Licky puzzles are an optional add on for calming rest as is a bath if your furry friend needs to be tidied up prior to your return home! Multiple furry friends are welcome! Rotation for safe play is always done when necessary if furry friends from a couple families are together. Can't wait to hear from you and meet you furry family members! I own two businesses that I work from home so I have complete flexibility with my schedule which is wonderful! I’m grateful to be able to care for your pup while you’re not available so you come home to a tired happy dog! Dogs are always cared for in a fear free, positive reinforcement only manner. As a dog mom to two allergy girls - food sensitivity and boundaries are highly respected. Due to our partnership with a local rescue and the foster work we get to do, much of the house is gated to keep snoots safely out of places they could find trouble. Additionally, I have the ability and space to crate or non-crate separate pups who may need a break, rest to not overdue if recovering from injury, or simply get overstimulated.

“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.”

About: Not only have I taken care of my family’s pets, but I also have experience working in a dog daycare, boarding and grooming facility that allowed me to learn so much more about the care of animals. I am a college student who currently works part-time, and am getting my degree virtually which gives me enough time to care for your furry friends on the side! While caring for your pets I will give them my full attention. I love to update owners while their pets are in my care to show how their pet is doing. I also am a very active person so your animals will be able to get the exercise they need.

About: Hi! I’m Sofey, and I work as a kennel technician in Scarborough, caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities every day. I’ve spent my entire life around animals—volunteering at shelters, helping out with farm animals, and caring for everything from puppies and kittens to senior pets, including guinea pigs, rabbits, and more. I’m experienced with walking, basic training, administering meds, and handling all kinds of temperaments. I live with my own sweet dog, Freddie, and two adorable guinea pigs, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Whether your pet is shy, playful, energetic, or just needs some extra love and patience, I’ve got them covered 💛 My schedule revolves around my job, which has no set days, but I work four 10-hour shifts a week, usually gone from about 6:00 AM to 5:30 PM including my commute. On my days off, I love focusing on caring for animals, whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or just spending quality time with them! I’m unable to offer pet sitting in my apartment due to a no pet policy, but I’m more than happy to pet sit in your home, stop by for walks, feeding, playtime, and whatever else your pet needs!

About: When I’m not boarding, walking, or doing doggy daycare I’m hanging out with my kiddos. Occasionally I also foster puppies at 8 weeks old and start the potty training process and prepare them to go to their furever home. Does your dogs like to sleep on the couch? Perfect! I do too! Do they prefer to sleep in bed with you at night? Not a problem, come on in! Does your dog need daily walks? You got it! I live on a quiet road off the beaten path. I tend to treat all animals with the respect and love I give my children and I teach my children the same morals. Pets aren’t just pets in my eyes, each dog has needs they need to have met and it’s my job to make that happen when they are in my care. During my high school years I spent my time after school volunteering at the local veterinary clinic assisting the vet techs preform their daily tasks. Growing up I worked on a dairy farm. I know how to administer medications, potty train, bathe, and trim nails. I’m a stay at home mom during the week so I am always home to give my furbabies all the love and attention they want. When I’m home and need to leave your pups will tag along with me through my daily routine and hangout with me. Or if they’d prefer to relax at home and have free range they can! I try to keep a potty and feeding schedule the same as when they are with you. I live in a lake house so if your pups love to swim then this is the place to be! I also have a decent size yard (unfenced) for playing. My two dogs will keep your furbaby company in a doggy sense. My children will also play with your babies so they will definitely have a lot of attention. Inside my house is baby proof so it is also dog proof. Do you want to FaceTime your dog while they are with me? Not a problem, call whenever. I will send pictures and updates throughout the day for you so you know they are okay. Your pets truly are treated like family in my care.

“Super flexible and really good with my pup :), look forward to booking with you again!!”
