Dog Walkers in Hallowell, ME

“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!!!”

“To whom it may concern, I am written a letter of recommendation for Tonya Patten as a pet sitter. I have know Tonya for 30+ years and her care for animals has always been beyond exceptional. Wether large animals or the smallest of creatures she always goes the extra mile to make sure they have what they need. I have seen her nurse sick animals back to health, bring a reptile back to good health and care for aging dogs and cats with the care, love and respect that they all deserve. You could not find a better representative for your service. She has helped me with my dog and gave her all the love that I do.”

“Jennifer was friendly and responsive. My dogs warmed right up to her when she came for a meet and greet.”

“Great communication, and I really appreciated the pictures ☺️ Finley looks like he had a great time on his walk!”

“She is amazing. My dog loved her and you could tell she was more tired when I would get home. Very friendly and easy to meet.”

“I had many fantastic experiences with Amelia and my dog, Bella seemed genuinely happy and at ease with her. Additionally, Amelia’s responsiveness is impressive. She promptly replied to all my messages and made the whole communication process incredibly easy.”

“Naomi has taken care of my pets on many occasions and done an amazing job. One of my dogs is reactive to other dogs and in addition is a “tripawd”, having lost a rear leg due to injury. She can be a bit of a handful to manage, due to her reactivity and also due to her physical limitations. Naomi is an expert managing her behavior and is keenly observant of her physical state; which allows her to plan walks that give my dog the right amount of exercise without overtaxing her. Naomi has also cared for my cats on many occasions and has an instinctive connection with animals, even very shy cats. She is extremely conscientious about feeding and medications, including special dietary requirements for my senior dog. I always feel complete peace of mine leaving my pets in her care.”

“Sarah was awesome with Arrow! He can be wary of strangers but liked Sarah right away. Definitely booking again :)”

“Thanks for a happy pup on a long shift!”

About: I have experience taking care of many animals! For my family and friends I have taken care of households full of animals in the past. Animals are a passion of mine and I love working with them! I'm currently a college student working part-time in food service and I'm looking for some extra money doing something that is genuinely fulfilling. I love animals in every form and working full time at a animal care facility just hasn't fit into my college schedule yet. I am currently free the ladder half of the week and weekends! I have experience taking care of all sorts of animals and have taken care of animals for long periods in the past. A lot of the animals I have taken care of are super quirky and need some extra attention or problem-solving involved. I personally have 2 dogs, a cat, and two pigeons at the moment! Let me know what your pet needs and I will follow it 100%!

“Makayla is lovely and I feel very comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care!”

“Andrea was on time, communicative, and flexible!”

“Lindsays passion for animals is very amazing and admirable. I would trust her two watch my Bernese anytime. She has a great passion for animals and is very responsible as well.”

“Larissa is one of the most dependable and responsible people I know! The amount of love she gives her own dog, Tessa, is proof enough of what a great dog caregiver she is. Highly recommended!”

“Kalarr is one of the most responsible and loving pet caregivers that I have known. She has 1 dog, Edgar, that she has raised from a puppy and is now 12 years old. She also has 3 cats. Kalarr worked as a server for many years and I've personally seen her in action working with customers and they all love her. She is a kind and loving soul, not only with animals but with people. We have had Kalarr care for our dog and cats on many occasions and we always travel carefree knowing that our animals are in the best hands possible. You can rest assured if Kalarr is caring for your pet they are being loved, snuggled, well fed and yes, you may even find them a bit more spoiled upon your return.”

“I am so grateful I found her! My new work schedule was so hectic and I was exhausted when I returned home. Long walks with my Yorkie (9) and Yorkie-Palm (1) turned to us just standing in the front yard. I knew it wasn't enough. I knew I needed help, my dogs deserved more. That's when I reached out for help and came across Sky in her eye profile. I was nervous at first because I am really protective of my Yorkies. She arrived on time and communicated with me the whole time she is with my pets, which was very important to me. They absolutely adore her! She is loving and patient with my older Yorkie, but also fun and energetic with my pup. I'm also grateful that I can trust her to watch my pets when I have to go out of town. My dogs are not neutered so they don't have many options when it comes to pet hotels. You can tell she has a lot of knowledge about caring for dogs, but what I love is her friendly attitude and the passion she has for what she does. Thanks to her my dogs are well taken care of when I am away and also get the right amount of exercise on the days I don't have the energy to give them the walk they deserve. Again I am so grateful for such a reliable doggy caregiver, I think she is the best and I'm sure your dogs will think so too!”

About: I've been in contact with dogs as long as I've been walking and talking. My parents always had a pack of 4 running around the house and my brothers and I were frequently helping out with feeding, walking, etc. I used to spend a lot of my weekends with my mom’s poodle, trimming his unruly coat! I also have owned rats, fish and cats, and am comfortable caring for them, as well as birds. Just let me know if you have a smaller critter that needs some care! I have experience with farm animals such as horses and chickens, and am happy to watch goats, cows, you name it!! My Service Dog in Training, Artemis, and I are currently travelling across the US together! We’re currently home in Maine again and offering services all over! I’m available any day of the week, all hours of the day to hang out with your pet :) I work a hybrid job as a peer support partner that’s mainly remote, so you can rest well knowing they won’t be spending long hours alone. I clicker train my dog, Artemis, my service dog, and have mini training sessions everyday with her. I'm more than happy to include your dog if you let me know what you'd like to work on. I also have experience with reactive dogs, as my late mastiff mix came into my care with an extreme case of stranger reactivity that I managed. So if your pup is timid or shy, I will for sure still take them on and give them the best experience catering to their specific fears. I know owning a reactive dog can be isolating and stressful. Let me take some of that stress away by being understanding of your pups and their needs! I’m more than happy to arrange meet and greets to discuss fido’s specific needs, and let them get used to my presence. Understanding and listening is important in managing reactivity, and I’m more than happy to be that person!

“Rachel is so caring and my animals loved her and her boyfriend Sam. This says a lot, because we have 5 rescued dogs that often don't trust new people. They immediately adored Rachel, and we got videos of Sam playing with the dogs in the yard, the whole pack running around having a blast. These two have a sweet spirit and they put us at ease with leaving our fur babies in their care. Our home was immaculate when we returned. We will most definitely try to schedule with her again.”

About: I’ve had dogs & cats my whole life & I adore them all. I also nannied for 5 years so I have plenty of patience & know what it takes when it comes to little buggers! I recently moved to the area so my availability is extremely flexible. I can do mornings, afternoons, nights, and most weekends. While you’re at work or on vacation you don’t have to worry about your furry friend getting enough attention or exercise! I have animals in my home already so I will only be doing over nights or day care in your home! I’m extremely respectful & as long as there is clear instructions everything should go smoothly. I can feed, water, bathe, let them out, bring them to appointments, whatever is needed. These things should be stated & apart of the agreement before the plan is set & stone. I look forward to meeting you & your fur baby!

“Anastasia is the most caring and competent dog walker you could ask for. I would trust her with anything any animal needed. Highly recommended.”
