Dog Walkers in Belfast, ME

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.

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!

“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!”

“Brianna was very responsive and helpful, and Trekker was safe & sound when I got home. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: I am a service dog handler for the past 7 years. I have been training and caring for dogs for over 10 years. I'm the go to person in my friends and family for training and care advice of animals big and small. I have owned and cared for everything from small snakes to rodents and horses. I have worked as a dog trainer, a horse trainer, a groom, and I have worked on dairy farms since I was 14. Every morning starts out with letting the dogs out and farm chores. 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.

“Autumn was great. We were traveling on a long, RV trip, and needed someone local to walk our pup when we were out touring. Autumn did everything we asked, and everything went very smoothly. Great communication. We would definitely use her again if we were back in the area.”

“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!”

“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.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs cats rabbits and horses ever since I was 10. I’ve cared for new born kittens as well as senior cats at the Humane Society for almost 10 years. And cared for my neighbors’ dogs. From volunteering I’ve learn much about behaviors for both dogs and cats and have discovered I have a talent for working with them.

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. Before they begin their daily naps , I play with each of them. They range in age from 19 to 1 yr. I also check their water bowls throughout the day or night depending. I can give them treats anytime. 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.
