Dog Walking Buxton

About: I have been working with dogs and cats professionally since May of 2012 with my primary focus on dog walking. From puppies to seniors, I have walked and pet sat all temperaments and ages of dogs. I have a year and a half of basic dog training experience, which also included working with reactive and anxious dogs. Being fluent in dog body language is essential! Subcutaneous injections are also a part of my skill set, as I used to have a diabetic cat that needed insulin injections twice daily as well as a client that needed Adequan injections twice a week. I am available any day of the week for walks and drop ins from about 7am - 8pm. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, I would love to hear from you! I have been walking dogs and doing drop ins for cats and dogs professionally for over 14 years. I am now available full time for care in the Standish, Buxton, and Gorham areas. I LOVE my job! Taking care of dogs and cats was my heart’s calling and I’ve never looked back. Getting to know your furry critters and building a trusting, mutually beneficial relationship with them is my favorite thing in the world. Every dog and cat has a unique personality and I enjoy learning what works (and what doesn’t work!) for them and lovingly cater to their specific needs, likes, and dislikes.

“Faith is great! She was prompt and friendly, and managed our dog through a tricky situation on one of their walks. We really appreciate her help and experience, thank you!!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 10 years of pet sitting experience caring for all kinds of furry (and feathery!) friends. Over the years I’ve looked after dogs, cats, chickens, and rabbits, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs, including diabetic care, incontinence support, young puppies and kittens, and pets who just need a little extra patience and attention. My goal is always to keep your pets safe, happy, and relaxed while you’re away. At home, I share my life with my husband, step-daughter, our Golden Retriever, our cat, and our adorable Holland Lop rabbit, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your animals. I treat every pet I care for like they’re part of my own family—with plenty of love, playtime, and snuggles. Whether your pup needs a fun walk or your cat needs quiet companionship, I’d love to help. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I'm available for daily dog walks, cat-sitting and house-sitting, and occasional weekend or weekly boarding. Rest assured that your furry friends will get plenty of attention and snuggles while in my care. I care for your pets as if they are my own. When coming in to your home, I am respectful of privacy and boundaries and will follow the routine provided with the utmost care and love.

“Matt was great! He was communicative from the meet and greet through a full week of 2x day walks, he always provided an update on how things were going. He was caring and patient with my dog and punctual for all walks! Thank you Matt!”

“Ariana was a true professional and I was beyond happy with her services. She was the first person I tried to care for my Daisy girl and I couldn’t have found someone better. Daisy loved her. She came back exhausted from their adventure which was just what I was hoping for. She missed her when she left. It was a perfect match. Very dog knowledgeable and caring by nature, I feel very lucky!!! Thank You Ariana ❤️ Laura and Daisy 🌸”

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have had three dogs and two cats over the years. I’m currently raising a golden retriever puppy with my family and absolutely love spending time with dogs. Friends have always trusted me to watch their pets while they’re out of town because they know I treat every animal like family. I’m the kind of person who stops people on the street just to ask if I can pet their dog. Caring for animals genuinely makes me happy, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to give your pets the attention, care, walks, and love they deserve. I care for every pet like my own, always putting their safety, comfort, and happiness first. I stay alert on walks, careful around other dogs, people, traffic, and our surroundings to make sure pets feel safe and secure at all times. I also have a fenced yard for safe play and experience caring for and crate training puppies since I currently have 2 dogs.
