Dog Walking in East Deering, Portland, ME

“Josh has been amazing with Lucy! She comes back happy and tired after their afternoon walks, and it’s clear he treats her like his own when they are together - couldn’t ask for more!”

“Catharine has been wonderful with our puppy, Casco. We have used her for dog walking several times this week and will continue to use her again when we need some help and are unable to make it home during the work day! She is very responsive, timely, and has followed all directions. I would definitely fecomment her!”

“So grateful for Rose and her help when I have some last minute schedule changes. Whether it be my dog's medication time or a quick walk she's always been there when I needed her. Can't wait to have her help again in the future!”

“Harrison has done wonderfully with my pup Louie, he is a strong communicator, always prompt in his visits, and my pup is always looking happy, and healthy in all of his post or during walk pics. Highly recommend Harrison for anyone looking for extra support for your furry loved one!”

“Julia is absolutely the best! We met for a meet and greet beforehand and my dog instantly fell in love and was comfortable with her. She sends detailed updates and photos during their walks. I know my pup is in great hands which puts my mind to ease. Super thankful to have found her on Rover and would highly recommend her to others”

“Kaley was great to communicate with and gave me a sweet update on my dog, I am excited for more walks!”

“Jennifer took such good care of my pups and was so sweet with them :)”

“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.”

“Seth is wonderful! He is dependable, great with dogs and communication. He is happy to answer any questions I have, even when they are redundant! He is consistently on time and always reachable. My pup Max absolutely loves him!”

“Aaron is great! I got hurt and couldn't walk my dog. I contacted Aaron super last minute and he totally came through. On time, sent lots of cute pics, and my dog looooved her walks (she was sad to see him go every time, lol) Highly recommend!”

“I have known Addy for 2+ years and she has always been kind and loving towards her own dog, Moose, as well as my dog Taylor. She has also been very kind towards any other dog we've come in contact with. I've been around her and Moose hundreds of times and Addy never fails to be punctual in terms of feeding her dog, walking her dog, and she loves playing with her dog. Even hearing the way she talks about her dog and other dogs shows how passionate and loving she is towards them. Any family (and dog) would be extremely lucky to have Addy around.”

“Sarah is amazing! So good with my pup and always takes the best pictures of her on their daily walks, which I really enjoy. She knows a lot about dogs and has given me lots of tips! It’s so nice to go to work and not have to worry about my “child!” Don’t hesitate to book her!”

“Awesome!!!! Took my pup to the park and provided several pics to show my boy having a blast.”

“Griffin is awesome. He took such good care of my dog while was away and she absolutely loves going for walks with her best bud Griffin.”

“Susan is the best! She takes great care of our dog.”

“Kevin may have been a dog in a former life, because he just couldn’t be any more outgoing and friendly and he is full of energy for those long walks! My dog Pax always looks forward to his walks with Kevin, and I appreciate how reliable and responsible Kevin is, too. I love the fact I never have to wait on a response, he is always quick to reply and sends me great pictures of their walks whenever I ask!”

“Jackie is wonderful and made our first time using Rover a great experience. We enjoyed meeting her before we started walks and our pets loved her immediately! We appreciate her flexibility and communication, and will definitely be booking again in the future. Thanks Jackie!”

About: I'm current dog dad to Greta, an enthusiastic 4-year-old female German shepherd rescue who hails from North Carolina, but I have grown up around dogs my entire life (except college and a few years after). These loving beasts live in my heart forever, and include my first dog named Goldie (Golden retriever), Kaila, a female chocolate Lab I adopted in New Mexico who left me way too soon (at 6-1/2), Chester, a stately black Lab whose 15 years with me outlived every other relationship in my life, except my eldest daughter (now 17), including my parents and my marriage, and Phil, a farm-bred Golden mix who was added to the pack with Chester during my married years. In the 35 dog years I've been blessed with, I've learned there are no bad dogs, only difficult situations or perhaps insufficient training. They're always happy to see us. They never ask for more than a steady diet, a few playthings, and some recognition of their status as guardians. For that, we are fortunate to have companions who never leave our side, a comfort and security nothing else in this world provides. Darn beasts ... they just don't last long enough. So it's up to us to show them love and guidance in our human pack while they are by our sides. I would be happy to substitute as the alpha in your pack while you are away. Don't worry: Although they will be very well taken care of while you are away, they will be thrilled to see you when you return. I'm a freelance PR rep who works from home with a limited client base. Thus I have a lot of flexibility to fit your best pals into may weekly schedule. I have a fenced-in yard at my place (a real luxury in Portland) which Greta would love to share. If I watch your pals at your place, I would not bring Greta with me. The only other scenario I would attempt to have Greta mix with your pals is on a leashed walk.

“Kristin has helped care for my pets since she was a kid. We have always owned or fostered 2 to 5 dogs at a time and Kristin has feed, walked and cared for them all at some time. From our 150 lb. mastiff to our 5 lb. pekingese mix she has loved them all. Kristin has also taken care of our cats over the years. She is very dependable and trustworthy. I would use her for all my pet sitting needs.”

“Kristen has had allot of experience with dogs, especially hyper active dogs. She treats each dog like her own and is able to meet any of the dog’s needs. She’s very intuitive and able to connect with dogs.”
