Dog Walkers in Canaan, ME

About: I have lived with and cared for many dogs for as long as I can remember. I now have two of my own dogs and coming home to them makes me so happy! With my two dogs included I live with 5 dogs! Crazy I know! But they are so loved and happy! I have cared for rescue animals and dogs through every phase of life. I have taken care of dogs on medications, special diets and when recovering from surgery and procedures. My dog Jackson and I have traveled across the country together and I loved experiencing all the new sites with him. I can’t wait to meet your dog(s). Because I live with 5 dogs and 4 cats, pet care happens everyday! When I’m home with them they are always around and getting attention and affection from me. I take time to make sure each animal we have has there needs meet. This includes walking, playing ball, grooming, feeding and all the cuddles! I care for my pets in a loving and stable environment. Because we have so many pets we all take care of the animals we have, they even have the ultimate sitter (auntie) who comes over when we don’t have someone at home. Dogs are family in my house!

About: Having previously worked at a humane shelter and a doggy daycare, I understand that dogs require a lot of care, love, and patience! I'm pretty good at reading their body language and I love putting in the extra work to get shy or reactive dogs to trust me. I will do everything I can to make sure your dog is comfortable and well cared for! My schedule is wide open to housesit, dog walk/enrichment, and check-ins whenever it's needed. Let me know what you and your pet need, and we can schedule something! I will do anything I can to make sure your pet is comfortable, entertained, and loved while you are away. You'll return to see the house just as you left it (with absolutely no judgment if it's cleaned or cluttered) and a happy pet!

“Kristen is reliable, trustworthy, and great with our dog Sully. He absolutely loves her! Highly recommend her to anyone looking to have someone spoil and love on your pet when you cannot!”

About: I have worked in the veterinary field for about 3 years. I went to school and became a Certified Veterinary Assistant. I am also Pet CPR Certifed. I have my own pet/house sitting business and offer feline grooming! I work full time but am able to pet sit every night, on weekends and do checks on pets during the day, sometimes multiple times a day. Your pets will get lots of play time, go on walks, and get lots of attention. I do like to relax with them and just hang out as well, depending on the pet.

About: I am an outdoor 4 season enthusiast! At home full time with lots of time, energy and love for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Over the years I have owned and cared for many different breeds from Yorkshire terriers, Siberian huskies, Cheasapeake Bay retrievers, Brittany Spaniels, Australian shepherds, golden retrievers, poodles for starters. Ready, willing, able to provide discipline, some training and treats! The environment is a safe, country setting with play area and an enclosed, fenced back yard.. There are no other pets or children in my home. Your dog(s) will be TOP dog and the focus of my care, play and concern. Lots of room for exploring and learning here with a capable, eager handler. I really enjoy meeting new people and their pets. I am a home body and an avid adventure seeker. An active community member and local volunteer for several non profits. Leave NO trace! Be safe out there. Always. There is plenty of room to explore or just snore the day away here. A large fenced in area provides a safe space for several dogs. I can host (2) dogs from the same family.

About: I have been taking care of animals for friends and family since I was a teenager and have always loved it! I am able to give insulin to dogs or cats as well as other medications! I am well versed in dogs of all ages as well as temperaments. I am in the process of learning grooming so can do basic grooms, not currently taking full grooms. I worked for a pet care business for well over a year, so have experience with multiple environments and circumstances! I currently work full time but I have an hour long lunch break and availability before and after work, as well as weekends! My mother takes care of my pets when I’m not home so it’s nice to get out and help other pet owners. I have lots of experience with all types of animals so I am comfortable with almost anything. I like to do my best to keep your pets routine as stable as possible to make the transition less stressful while you’re away from home.

About: Hi, I’m Olivia! I’m 25, a stay-at-home cat mom, military wife, and someone who’s always been the go-to animal person in my circle! I grew up helping on a small farm and have years of experience caring for all kinds of pets—cats, dogs, guinea pigs, birds, reptiles, rodents, and more! Right now, I have four purrfect cats, 🐾 a sweet guinea pig, and a bunch of fish 🐠 I’ve also cared for dogs and small animals like hamsters in the past. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just spending quiet time with them, I truly enjoy being around animals and getting to know their little personalities! I take a calm, gentle approach to pet care. I’m big on creating a cozy, stress-free environment, and I always treat every animal like they’re part of the family. All pets are welcome 🐾 You will find my availability is completely open! Making pet care my top priority at all times when you book with me through Rover! :) I currently offer boarding on a smaller scale in my home, as I do have 4 cats who aren’t comfortable with larger dogs! I am happy to board small dogs, rodents, reptiles etc.! :)

“Emma did a wonderful job looking after my husky Luke. She was conscientious about his special needs and was a wonderful communicator.”

“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!”

I strive for the animals I take care of to be entertained, fed, walked, and most importantly loved.

I will try my absolute best to make sure the pets safety is my top priority.

“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!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals of all kinds - dogs and cats included. I love animals and wish to make a career out of providing pet care. I am pet first aid & CPR certified and I am bonded and insured. I strive to provide nothing but the best care possible! I have trained my service dog all by myself and have trained my other dog myself! I also have experience with training other dogs — I specialize in service dogs and problem behaviors in dogs! I do my best to be very flexible with scheduling. I do have occasional appointments but those can typically be worked around. I would very much appreciate having recurring customers, this also makes it easier to fit new clients into my scheduling. I have a portal system for easy scheduling and invoicing as well! I enjoy being active and I wish to work to become more active. I have a standard poodle who is my service dog. I also have a younger standard poodle that I have trained myself. I do not always bring my service dog with me, it is all dependent on how our dogs interact. Also if you would like for me to teach your dogs I would be happy to talk more!
