Dog Walkers in Bradford, ME

“Elli was terrific! She came for a Meet and Greet and was a wonderful person and sweet to our girl Ducky who is high energy. Elli kept us updated and made our day trip to NH relaxing knowing she was taking Ducky on some walks.”

“Erica has been so amazing with Leo! Leo tends to be nervous of new people and reactive so I was very apprehensive about having someone new walk him. Erica took her time with Leo, doing a meet and greet and test walk before and was patient in allowing him to gain trust in her. He’s making such great progress with Erica and it’s so nice to have found someone who is so sweet and loving towards him and who can be trusted. Erica is very reliable, coming at the scheduled time each day and even willing to make last minute adjustments when needed. I can’t say enough how amazing Erica has been and how much Leo and I appreciate her for her help!”

About: I used to work in a Kennel and worked with many different breeds of dogs and cats. I have worked with mean dogs and lovely dogs. I have worked with senior dogs as well. Growing up I have always had animals in my house and I always plan to. I work at a senior care facility in 3 days a week, 12 hour shifts. Seeing as I do work long shifts, my mother is able to run over and let dogs out during the day. I help a friend out at Dirigo Pines every so often, usually for 6 hours, but can take breaks. Other than that I just sit at the house I'm at amd relax. I dont get out of work late, usually six and feed dinner when I get home. I dont have any pets at the moment, but always have throughout my life. I have had a deaf cat, senior dogs and small animals. I can give medication if needed. I also try to take wals if the weather is nice.

“Anna is a life saver. Even though our pup can be shy and a bit reactive, Anna was able to work her magic. Super communicative and all around nice person.”

“Justin and Eva were very happy and enthusiastic about meeting my dog, Bruce. They listened to all my recommendations and did a successful 1 hour walk, even in the rain! Very pleasant people to work with.”

About: I've been caring for cats and dogs my whole life, and it's something that's become second nature to me. I currently have two cats and one dog, and each of them has their own unique personality and needs. Over the years, I've learned how to read their behaviors, provide the right nutrition, and create a safe, loving environment for them to thrive in. From playful moments to quiet companionship, caring for them has brought me so much joy and a deep sense of responsibility. Whether it's grooming, training, or those unexpected trips to the vet, pet care has taught me patience, empathy, and the true meaning of unconditional love. Pet care is a regular and important part of my daily routine. I start each morning by feeding my two cats and my dog, making sure they all have fresh water. I take my dog out for a walk in the morning and again in the evening, which also gives us some good exercise and bonding time. Throughout the day, I clean the litter boxes, check on my pets to make sure they’re comfortable, and give them attention or play with them when I can. In the evenings, I often brush them or do basic grooming if needed. Taking care of them has become a natural part of my schedule — it keeps me grounded and gives my day a sense of structure and purpose. I will update my schedule here weekly. I work full time in Bangor, so I would be available any day after 4PM always, and then three or four days a week I will have open availability. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I make sure they’re fed on a consistent schedule, have clean water, and receive plenty of attention and exercise. I clean litter boxes daily for my cats and take my dog out for regular walks. I also spend time grooming them and watching for any signs of health issues. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions closely, stick to the pet’s usual routine to minimize stress, and treat their home and animals with the same care and respect I give my own. I make sure to communicate clearly with the owner and provide updates so they feel at ease while away.

About: I’ve had pets all my life – cats and dogs. I can’t imagine having a home without animals. Currently, I have 2 very loving German Shepherds and a cat. I’ve used Rover for years to find sitters for my own pets and now that I’m retired I’m excited to fill some of my time looking after other people’s babies. Since I’m retired, I’m open to a variety of schedules. Ideally I would like to avoid night visits but am happy to drop in anytime during the day. I believe all pets should be spoiled and loved unconditionally. During drop in visits, I will make sure your pets have all their needs met and do everything I can to comfort them in their owners absence.

“Very pleased with her communication and Vader seemed to enjoy his time with her a lot. Highly recommend.”

“Daisy was wonderful! She was very accommodating, especially given it was a short-notice request. She sent along several photos of my dog while he was with her. I am looking forward to using her services much more in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life from dogs, cats, birds, horses. Aside from my own I have also spent countless time taking care of others animals while they are gone or just need a little extra help! I currently work a part time job in healthcare so my schedule can be super flexible with notice but if you need care last minute I am more than happy to make it work the best I can for you and your pet(s). I am willing to work with you and your animals needs whatever that may be. Whether they need to be taken on long walks, like to play fetch or just sit inside and be pet!

About: Hi I’m Olivia, I’m a veterinary assistant working through getting my Veterinary Technician license online and I also have a bachelors in animal sciences! Along with currently working at a veterinary clinic, I also worked as a care technician in a shelter for 4 years, helping animals and caring for them is my passion, and along side that I love helping people as well. I’m well versed in handling dogs of all sizes from walking them to providing them with medication! I’ve been around animals my whole life from dogs and cats to horses and cows and would love to help you as well! I work a full time job but having plenty of time on my days off and before/after work to take care of critters, generally my weekends are pretty open and I’m willing to make a drive :) I promise to treat your furry friends as if they’re a part of my own family - no litter box will be too dirty to clean and no dog will be too energetic to handle. My main foal is to treat every animal with the compassion and respect they deserve

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life, dogs, cats, and even horses. I treat every animal as a part of the family and spoil them! I just graduated from UMA and am looking for something while job searching! I have two dogs of my own as well. I’m flexible and happy to work around your pet’s needs, whether it’s daily walks or consistent weekly care. I’ll make sure their routine stays as close to normal as possible. I live in an area with lots of land for any pup baby to run around in! It is secluded and has so many things to do. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with lots of love and supervision. In your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully to keep your pet safe and happy.

About: Hi! My name is Madeline. I am a passionate animal person and have been caring for animals pretty much my entire life. I've personally owned dogs, cats, horses, birds, fish, hamsters and cared for ferrets, snakes, and a variety of livestock/farm animals. I label myself as a true animal lover and pride myself on being able to connect with animals on a special level. I have been a professional sitter/dog walker for over 8 years now, and am ready to take on more clients. I do have a small home so I can only take 1-2 bookings at a time. I always aim to have a respectful relationship with owners and try to be as honest and helpful as possible! I have many, many references available. I look forward to meeting your pets! I am super flexible and always willing to hear your needs and see what we can make work, especially with the busy-ness that is the holidays. So feel free to reach out and I’ll see how I can best accommodate you and your pets 🙂 I do work a full time job M-F, but from home with lots of flexibility. My schedule is designed to be flexible and meet multiple pet owners needs. Let me know what your fur baby needs and we’ll get it arranged. I have a small cat who prefers to keep to herself. My home is dog proof and although I don’t have a fenced yard but I have wonderful walking areas in my community so your pet will end up with more walk time and socialization than just staying in a yard.

About: I have had pets since I was a little girl, I had 2 cats as a child and we rescued our dog when I was 12. He has since proven himself the love of my life. I am currently working part-time with an ever-changing schedule, but I have plenty of time (especially on weekends) to walk and care for your pets! I go for a hike averaging around 4 miles every other day, and I would be more than happy to bring your pup with me and get that energy out! While I can’t bring your dog to my house, I am more than capable of keeping them happy and healthy and well-exercised when needed. I also have experience with dogs with allergies and I am very detail-oriented!

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I've been involved in the training of 5 puppies, and have a lot of experience caring for larger breeds, particularly active and playful doggos. I have a cat of my own whom I love dearly, and love to make new furry friends. My past experience includes volunteering at a local boarding kennel, caring for senior dogs and administering medication, taking active pups on fun activities like swimming or hiking, and being a live in sitter during week-long getaways. Whether you need someone to stop in and check on your pup or someone to give your companion love and affection while you're away, I'm happy to help! I currently am taking one summer class and am working part-time jobs, so I have time particularly during the morning/midday and on weekends free to take care of your pets. I have a car cover for the backseat of my car, so any adventures we take I am prepared for. I like to earn pet's trust, so letting them come to me and show me what their comfortable with is key.

About: I use to dog sit my grandma's dog, Ava, all the time before she passed away, giving her baths and walks as well as the occasional 5am pee time. I also have taken care of my friends one year old Corgi for a few days while they were out of town. I am a musician so my days are usually very open. I drop my partner off at work at 3pm and pick her up at night. During these times I am completely free to take car of your furry child. I will let them sniff and roam where they may when on leash or in an enclosed area. I will take long walks and play with them as needed so they feel worked out. I love rewarding good behavior so I'll help in basic commands with little treats as rewards.

“Emily is fantastic and always goes above and beyond taking care of my pup!”

About: I majored at the University of Maine in animal and veterinarian sciences with a Prevet concentration. I have had the honor to work in vet offices, in zoos and on farms. So I have been around many different types of animals in multiple ways. I believe that all animals are the most selfless, caring beings and truly are a man’s best friend. Everyone I know, refers to me as an animal lover and because of the veterinarian side, I will always make sure to keep an eye out on your animals health as well. I have plenty of time to be attentive and spend with your animal :). I even included the days where I can housesit full-time preferably, which would be over the weekend and into Monday. But obviously, there can always be exceptions, all I ask is for a check in/heads up. For housesitting, I will obviously follow any guidelines you leave me, whether that be walking your animal on a leash or some type of harness; or letting them out into a fenced in area. I will follow feeding guidelines and anything else that is a concern of yours.

About: My family has five dogs, training has been one of my hobbies since childhood! When it comes to dogs I have been there and done that- there is nothing your dog could do to surprise me. I come from a farming veterinary family so I am equipped to look for any warning signs should your pup need any care during my visit. I also have two cats of my own that are dog friendly and very curious. My goal is to keep your pets happy, healthy, and entertained! If your pet has any special medical needs or needs to be administered medication, I am more than happy to accommodate that. I am also a pet parent to two adorable kittens, I know the patience they require and how rewarding they are. Hope I get to meet you and your furry friend soon! Do you have more than one pet? No worries! I only charge +$5 per pet, the more the merrier! I am a law student with a summer internship, meaning I am unavailable during the work week 9-5. I am available the rest of the week and would love to coordinate a schedule with you. Communication is key! If I notice anything is off, I will alert you right away. Every pet is different, some are simply quirky- it is important that I let you know if I see any abnormal behaviour. I have experience with dogs with severe anxiety, injuries, joint problems, behaviour issues, you name it. If your pet needs any sort of special care, I will be happy to help. If I see any concerning behaviour I will let you know immediately and we can plan from there the course of action that needs to be taken.

About: In addition to owning my own dogs and cats since I was little, I’ve been volunteering to walk dogs for a local shelter since 2017 I work part time, so I have plenty of time to help care for your pets! I’m available weekdays but can be flexible on weekends if needed I can easily crate and watch your animals if needed, I have lots of experience with even the most resistant dogs to help ensure their safety
