Dog Walkers in Belfast, ME

“Melissa was great! She walked our two 70lb pit bulls Skye and Blue 4 days in a row. She was great communicating the times she was going to walk them and showing up on time. She sent pictures each walk with the map and distance of the walks. We would definitely hire Melissa again to walk Skye and Blue. Highly recommended!, Thank you Melissa!”

“Ruth did a fine job of looking after Sunny for five days while I was out of town. She played with him and sent pictures of him on the couch and in the yard.”

“Addison is a great caretaker for animals. She is responsible, patient, and caring. She will love you the fur babies, play with them, and take them for a walk. Such a relief to have her take care if our pets.”

“Alex did great with my dogs! She made time for a meet and greet with them so they would feel comfortable when she came. Loved the updates and photos of their walk. I will be contacting Alex to walk them again in the future!”

About: I have always loved animals and have taken care of friends and neighbors pets since I was 12. My sister and I trained our own small terrier puppy when I was young and I have always had a dog ever since. We now have a wonderful Berniedoodle in our family, who gets along great with other dogs and is always ready for a play date. So maybe you would like us to help train a puppy, walk your dog or spend time with your cat. My schedule is normally quite flexible and we would love to get to know your animals! I have a very flexible schedule and will usually be able to rearrange things to accommodate your needs. Let me know, I can probably make it work. I prefer to come to your house to care for your pets, take them for walks and play with them, but I do also have a fenced in section of my yard and a friendly dog named Moxie to play with, so that is a possibility. There is also the Belfast dog park that we could visit. Lots of options and lots of fun to be had.

“We would highly recommend Jill as a dog caregiver. She has taken care of our dog several times and he absolutely adores her! He becomes "over the moon" excited when he gets to see her. Jill recognizes that our dogs are members of our family and treats them with tender loving care and the utmost thoughtfulness. During the care of our dog, she provided daily walks, playtime with balls and toys, grooming, monitoring of daily water and food intake, as well as providing us with daily images and videos of our dog enjoying his day, even though we weren't available to be with him. She has exceptional skills in training as well. She is always our first choice for a dog sitter!”

“Itzel-Marine is a true animal lover. She combines a caring warmth and approaches animals at their own pace. She matches my exuberant dog’s greetings with enthusiasm, spoiling her with pets, zoomie-filled play dates and home-made treats. With her own cat, she has a quiet, gentle approach. She has trained her to do tricks and to be very well socialized. I would recommend Itzel to both dog and cat parents, outgoing or timid.”

About: Hello, my name is Libby! I have had pets my whole life and currently have 2 dogs and a cat. I also grew up on a farm where we had all kinds of different animals. I truly have a passion for working with animals, which is why I’m pursuing a degree in wildlife biology. For work, I recently got done working at an animal sanctuary where we cared for 500+ animals. I am looking for something more flexible for when I’m in school. Because I’ve worked at many different places I have lots of special training including senior care, administering medication, animals with special needs, pet CPR, pet training, and much more! If you have any question about me or any of my certification/ experience with animals feel free to reach out! I recently just got done my full time job so my only commitment is school. I do online schooling so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available 7 days a week usually, and am almost always available for overnight care or boarding I have 2 dogs and a cat if my own so if I am boarding your animal they will have to get along with others. All of my animals are very friendly and well trained. I can provide almost any service at my house or am willing to stay at your home. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

“Aria has taken care of my guinea pigs, my rabbit, and my several other pets over the years. She is very good with animals, and genuinely cares for every pet. She also sent photos of my pets every visit. It made me more comfortable being away from my pets knowing that someone who really care for them was taking care of my animals.”

“Stacey did a great job with walking our older and cautious Shetland sheep dog. Stacey related very well with her, establishing trust. We highly recommend her.”

“Beatrice cared for my 5 year old pup in a pinch when I had to go away. She was responsive, on time, and completed all care tasks ABOVE AND BEYOND expectations. She left my fur baby in perfect shape, despite his separation anxiety. It was such a relief to come home to a happy, healthy boy. I would absolutely trust Beatrice with any pet, as she is kind, gentle, caring, great with animals, and fair. I HIGHLY recommend and totally trust Beatrice!”

About: I am a service dog handler for the past 7 years. I have been training and caring for dogs for over 10 years.

Followed by breakfast for the dogs. After breakfast we do 30 minutes of rest in kennels while I feed the family. The rest of the day is spent with enrichment toys and puzzle games. Training is spaced out throughtout the day in 10-15 minute sessions. At 8pm the dogs are let out on last time then kennel and dinner time for the night. Our dogs are friendly and out going. We live in a very rural area on 81 acres of hiking trails and farm land to explore. The dogs are always watched when outside. We do have a wireless fence system for dogs that are trained on the e collar and long lines for dogs that are not off leash trained. We have experience crate and rotating dogs with aggression/reactivity problems. I have rehabilitated and socialized dogs with traumatic past.

I’m available all times but desire at least a week in advance notice. Daily weekly and hourly with breaks when needed for managing my Airbnb. Usually to clean after check out. Also per your needs I will need to have a brief break in the day to drive home to make sure my cats are fed and happy with some play time if I am asked to do overnights. I have 4 cats now. They get fed on special foods on a schedule. When they are eating I clean their cat boxes and when they are finished, I clean their bowls.

I also have learned various medical skills and hope to go back to school for a third degree as a vet tech and if life allows veterinary practice.

“Sara loves animals as much and she does running and walking. She would be the best dog walker in my opinion. She also enjoys being active which can benifit when a dog wants to play and have fun.”

“Natalie is a responsible young lady and animal lover. She has watched our three dogs and cat several times over the years. Our animals absolutely love her.”

“Hayleigh did a wonderful job walking and taking care of Evie while I was gone for a long day away. Evie loved spending time and playing with Hayleigh. Would highly recommend.”
