Dog Walkers in East Winthrop, ME

“Punctual, flexible with scheduling, and most importantly, my dog loves her.”

“Marissa was amazing! As a first time user of Rover, I was not familiar with the process. Marissa explained the steps to follow and accepted my booking even though it was very short notice. She even made sure to fit in a visit prior to the dog walking dates to make sure Shadow and I were comfortable. Shadow was well taken care of and I could tell from the various pictures Marissa provided, he was enjoying his time with her! I would not hesitate to book Marissa again in the future!! Five stars!!!”

About: I have experience with animals from Great Danes to Fancy rats. I have training experience as well with things such as potty training, walking etiquette, and a few show tricks. I have college classes in the afternoons but my mornings and nights are wide open on weekdays. As for weekends its just dependent on the day so I'll need advanced notice. I have a small yard, and within a quarter mile from the nearest park. I can give potty breaks ever hour if need be, and I'm great at matching an animals energy level.

About: You can be sure that your sweet pup will get the time, love, care, and exercise that they need while they are in my care! I am currently stay at home with my four year old and own a cleaning company. I only clean a few hours a day Monday through Thursday so I’ll have plenty of time to play with a furry pal! I love to walk around our beautiful neighborhood several times a day to get plenty of steps in. We have a large yard in a safe neighborhood. The dog/dogs will be leashed and with me anytime we are outside. I have a large metal crate that the dog can stay in when it needs a rest!

About: I have had dogs and taken care of dogs and cats since childhood. In my more recent years I have dog sat for family members and neighbors. I have enjoyed being able to give peace of mind to them knowing their pets are safe, happy, and cared for. Owning a dog and cat myself I understand the stress and fear of having to leave your pets. Whether it’s work, vacation and other life events it can feel like you’re leaving a piece of your heart behind while you’re away. I strive to bridge that gap and be able to provide peace of mind. My dog is a rescue and came to me with some behavioral challenges: fear, reactivity, resource guarding and separation anxiety. Since being with me he is a thriving boy with manners and is learning new skills and tricks every week! That being said I don’t scare easily and have experience managing a variety of behaviors. I know from experience leaving a pet that has some big feelings at times can be even more challenging and thats where I come in. To offer you peace of mind knowing your dog or cat will be safe and cared for with me. I firmly believe in the saying no bad dogs and would love to get the opportunity to take one worry off your plate while you are away! I have summers off and am able to be around as much or as little as needed for your pet in the summers as that is a busy time for vacations. I do structured schedules with play, train walk and rest times with pets. I can also create scheduled enrichment times throughout our time together. I try to cater what we are doing based on needs of the dog so they are fulfilled.

About: Hello! I am new to Rover but I have been working with animals all my life from a very young age and I have been pet sitting for about 4 years. There were always pets in the home, mostly dogs and cats all my life and I have thorough experience being around animals and knowing how to take care of them. I took a major part in taking care of the puppies that my family bred most of my childhood, I have experience in working with a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, reptiles, roosters/chickens, horses, guinea pigs, etc. Besides working with my own pets I have been pet sitting for around 4 years now and have become very comfortable working with other peoples pets. I pride myself on my attention to detail and focus on making sure your pet/pets are as comfortable as possible. I am currently a student but most of my classes are online so I am very flexible and available pretty much every day of the week currently. I am able to be intuitive and approach every animal with the care and attention that is specific to their needs. I am sensitive to boundaries and always making sure to focus on listening to what they are communicating.

About: Ever since the family cat had kittens when I was four years old, I have been drawn to the care of animals. Honoring the lives of pets as our friends has been a source of inspiration and therapy for myself personally. As a working artist, taking the time to care for animals has been such a privilege and the perfect change of pace while I continue to work on creative projects. I have a German Shepherd that I keep separated from the work I do with other animals. I am located at a small farmhouse in Augusta that has a huge yard with two a-joining fields. There is more than enough room to explore the surround with your pet. I am also an avid walker so exercise is big for me generally.

About: Iv been raising newborn kittens and fish my entire life. I grew up with big dogs too! Past co-workers would often say I have a funny personality and a calm demeanor. My attention to detail is my strongest skill. I have done volunteer work for camp sunshine, the animal refugees, and we run a youth group called Gaming for Christ. Im an artsy person; im in college for horticulture and I hope to work as an agricultural specialist. Veterinary assistant experience from York County Community College. I have five years of customer service experience. Looking for long-term work with friendly people who will make a list of specific details (if needed) for your pets. I take a great time making sure your pets are happy and comfortable! Completely open to any time or date that your furry friend needs me! Holidays and special occasions included! Im going to school online so I can always be available. I am very knowledgeable in Pet CPR. Fast reaction skills and attention to detail. Very capable on keeping environment clean and safe for any pet.

“Larrisa was easy to communicate with and came over to do a meet and greet. Cooper and Rusty were so happy to meet her and even happier when she came back the next 2 days to take them on a long walk.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs, cats, and horses. Growing up around animals has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, or just providing companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m also experienced in administering medications and can confidently follow any specific care instructions to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy. You can count on me to provide reliable, compassionate care and plenty of updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my routine, especially during evenings and weekends when I’m most available. I make it a priority to be there for pets when their owners are busy, traveling, or just need an extra hand after a long day. I’m consistently available for evening drop-in visits, making sure pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and companionship before settling in for the night. On weekends, I have even more flexibility and can accommodate multiple visits, extended care, or last-minute bookings. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I build my schedule around giving them the time, consistency, and care they deserve. I tailor my care based on each pet’s needs and the service requested, whether I’m in my home or yours. My goal is always to keep pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining your pet’s usual schedule feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions so they feel secure in their familiar environment. I keep things clean and organized, and I’m respectful of your space while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment where they’ll receive lots of supervision, love, and attention. I make sure they have a comfortable place to relax, consistent potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. I’m attentive to details and experienced in administering medications if needed, and I’m always mindful of each pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort. My priority is making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have worked with all kinds of animals in professional and non professional settings for years and have found that it is my passion. I am excited to work with your furry friends! I am an online college student so I have an abundance of flexibility and availability to work with animals during the work week and possible weekends. I am reliable and a fast learner and a great communicator! I will care for your pet however you need and keep you updated when you would like!

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my whole life and have been pet sitting for family, friends and anyone in need for the last three years! I have experience with both puppies between the ages of six months and two years old and senior dogs up to the age of 13. I am currently working part-time as a nanny most Thursdays through Saturdays, I am typically always available during the beginning of the week and work some half day shifts nannying so my schedule is open to changes. I always ask my clients to provide me with a strict set of rules and requirements, so that both myself, and the client feel comfortable with me being in the space.

About: I’ve had pet dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. I’ve always loved taking care of them, and being someone that they can rely on. Caring for animals is a big part of my life and something I hope to be forever passionate about! I am working full-time for the summer. I am a college student who will be going back to part time in the fall to finish my last year. I’m mostly free in the evenings and on odd days during the week since I work a rotating schedule. The fall will look different as I’ll be working part-time while also going to school! I’ve been handling large dogs since I was a young teenager, so I’m very comfortable with all types of breeds. I’d consider myself very gentle when it comes to animal care.

About: I am a dog owner myself, to a 14 year old Australian Cattle dog named Edgar. Edgar used to be very energetic and required ample amounts of exercise, though he is still energetic, his old bones make it hard for him to romp like he used to. On top of that, I have an almost two year old who is obsessed with all animals, and think it would be a great opportunity to educate him early on dog safety and etiquette. It would also be nice to have more of an excuse to get out of the house and do something fun together! I have had experiences with many different breeds and sizes. I've been a dog lover my whole life, and I feel the most happy and at peace when I'm around them. I am more often than not the go to care taker for my friends animals when they are away. I am available, M-F 8am-1:30pm I hope you'll consider us to help make your pups life as fun as ours!! Pet care is family care, and that comes automatically. Your pup would be well fed and watered in a timely manner. And they would get and extra dose of love and cuddles free of charge! I care for clients pets as I would my own, which is how I care for my son, with immense amounts of love and devotion :)

About: I have owned animals my whole life. Working with dogs is my passion. I have over a year of working with dogs in a shelter setting of all sizes and most breeds. I am fear free certified. I have handled more challenging dogs and really easy dogs. I know how to read a situation and think a head. I’m all about positive reinforcement and fear free. Any questions? I would love to chat! I’m looking to build my own client base from the ground up, working with dogs is my desire. I typically make my daily routine around work. The owners are in control. Tell me your pups needs, and I can provide them! A simple short walk, a hike, dropping in to feed and a quick potty break. I’m open to your needs and wants, do not hesitate to ask.

“The beagles definitely enjoyed their walks with Catherine and I felt comfortable leaving them in her care.”

About: I am just a young 18 year old kid that loves dogs and is looking to spend some more time with them. While also making some money! I am currently taking online classes at the University of Maine Orono and am looking for a part-time job like this to make some money at the same time. Ever since I can remember my family and I have had 2 dogs in our house that each have problems of their own. But we love and care for them no different then we love and care for each other.

“Excellent! Richard has a good way with dogs. He was able to get my dog out for his mid day walks, even traveling a ways. Highly recommend! Communication is great.”

“Recently Aleisha did dog walking, check ins for over a 6 week period. She did house sitting for us over a five day trip and found her to be extremely responsible and responsive to all of our two dogs needs. One of our dogs has extreme separation anxiety and is very timid and has difficulty trusting new people. Aleisha came for dog walks a few weeks before our trip and gained Sadie's' trust over that period. While we were away, Sadie accepted Aleisha wholeheartedly. Upon our return, the dogs were excited but very calm and at ease – a real departure from other vacation experiences. Aleisha also spent several nights at our home house sitting. Again we found her to be a true pro and very reliable and respectful. We would have no problem using her again and would recommend her services to anyone who would ask. As a matter of fact, we will be using Aleisha for occasional walks to keep in touch with Sadie and keep their bonds intact. Just such a pleasure to have someone as reliable and trustworthy for both us and our pets.”
