Dog Walking in Downtown, Portland, ME

“Harrison has been a wonderful dog walker for a few years now! He has always been flexible, accommodating, reliable and Koda has absolutely loved him! We are moving and sad to not have Harrison as our walker anymore, but 10/10 would recommend to anyone! Thanks for all you've done for Koda!”

“Rose is fantastic with our dog. Kind, prompt, and compassionate. He’s not the most active guy and can be stubborn and Rose has embraced it all. We are so lucky to have found her.”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, so I’m very comfortable with care taking, from walks, to feeding, bathroom breaks, enrichment/play, vet needs, medication, etc. My dog has unique needs I trust sitters with, so I’ll ensure your pets are taken great care of, and stick to their normal routine and get lots of pets and love. I’m a federal employee who’s currently furloughed so I have a lot of flexibility to take care of your pets on a schedule that works for you and them. My dog doesn’t do great with other pets so I don’t offer services in my own home, but I will do drop in visits and walks from yours! I like being prepped with all the right information I need to find your pet’s food, toys, leash, etc. and am happy to drop in to get any extra explanation in person beforehand if needed. While I’m providing services I’ll be sure to send lots of pictures of your pet so you can see them happy, healthy, and having fun! I’ll be available if you need to contact me at any time during the period I’m caring for your pet.

“Friendly and flexible with our two pups.”

“Destiny helped sub in for our normal walker and did a fabulous job. She was very responsive to messages and made sure my very rowdy dog was taken care of! I would definitely request her again in the future. :)”

About: We love taking care of dogs! We are the go-to pet sitters for our friends and family, and now that we are up in Portland, would love to be the go-to sitter for your pup! We've cared for a range of dogs, from puppies to senior pups, and all sizes in between. We have a wonderful 5-year old rescue pup named Dill. He is extremely sweet and does well with other dogs at the dog park and obedience classes. We request that all dogs that stay with us for doggy day care or boarding are friendly with other dogs. We do have space to keep pups separated for breaks, if needed. We both currently work from home so have extremely flexible schedules. During the week, our evenings are typically spent at home and the weekends are usually open! We currently live in a large 1 bed apartment with our rescue dog Dill. Your pup would be the only additional dog that we care for and we would introduce them to our pup at a comfortable pace! We have a partially-enclosed backyard and are near the Western Promenade for adventures.

“Viva continues to be fantastic with our little pup, Maple! She is patient and continues training throughout her walks. Viva coming over is Maple’s favorite time of the week!”

“Jill gave my dog, Finn, an amazing day when I had to travel for work. I always hate to leave him for long stretches of time, but I didn't have to worry at all because Jill gave him walks, took him to the beach, and even kept him company! When I came back from my long day of traveling, Finn was happy and tired from having a great day. Grateful to Jill for taking such excellent care of him!”

“In need of a dog walker while healing from foot surgery, I found Brooke here on Rover. Brooke communicates clearly, professionally, and honestly. My dog gets excited when she pulls into the driveway to pick him up for a walk. Brooke walks/jogs with my dog which makes him happy and tired often walking over a mile! She handles my dog very well with patience and humor especially when putting his leash on for the walk. He often will be jumping with joy and Brooke commands him to sit and he listens to her. We have one more week booked with her and am thinking of continuing with her once I am back to work. Her help has been greatly appreciated by all in our home. Thank you, Brooke!”

About: I am a "retired" (career change) veterinary nurse with over 7 years of professional experience, along with 25 years of personal experience caring for creatures of all shapes and sizes. I am comfortable taking care of your furry family members of any age, or health status. I can easily and happily draw up and administer medications orally, or by injection. I have experience handling cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, and horses. I have my own special needs elderly kitty, which means I completely understand how important routines are for them. I can comfortably walk your dogs of any size, but any dog over 65lbs must be well behaved on a leash. I will keep you up to date with photos and updates of your fur baby while you're out of town. I am reliable, and easily reachable. I will provide you and your pets with the highest standard of care. I currently work full time Monday through Friday 8-4:30, but I work from home 3 days a week and can provide potty breaks and walks on my lunch breaks on those days, as well as visits before and after work if need be. All pet care will take place in your home, as I do not have the room or pets that are comfortable with others coming into their home. This also limits the amount of stress your loved one goes through during this time.

“Candace was amazing! Helped me with my dog Ben while I started a new job and made my new hours so much less stressful know she could be there! Super responsive and quick replies. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had a wonderful time taking care of animals and homes — whether for friends, through word of mouth, or an official platform — and intend to continue for years to come! I have more experience with dogs than cats, though I do live with a cat and frequently take care of her in her owners absence and love her a lot. I grew up with family dogs and have been responsible for many different breeds of dogs over the years for varying lengths of time. I work 9-5 Monday-Thursday. I am also a student, so on Fridays and the weekend I do my coursework and would love to be able to do this from a new setting and with a sweet creature to keep me company! I also can help out in evenings and morning around my work schedule during the week. Keeping your pet safe is the priority. I always make sure to gather as much information about your pets behaviour and the environment they live in before beginning a sit.

“She is great!”
