Dog Walkers in Higgins Beach, ME

“Ally has walked both our medium-large dogs a couple times a week. She is very punctual and the dogs seem happy and tired after their walks with her, bonus for us! Very glad we found Ally to help us with our pets on days we are regularly in the office!”

“Marlena is the best! My pittie and rottie love when she comes to pick them up for a walk. She treats them like family and brings them on great adventures. She is communicative, responsible and kind. Would trust her any day with my fur babies.”

“I totally lucked out finding Griffin through Rover. He was friendly, communicative, and quickly got to know my dog, Poppy's, personality and needs. I felt very secure having him take her out for walks while I was working. He was safety minded; thinking about the right place to walk with her, using a harness, and being mindful of ticks. I think Poppy loved her time with him and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.”

About: I have always loved both dogs and cats since I was a kid! I have been around dogs since I was little and I live with a cat now! I would adore taking your furry friend for a walk or checking up on your cat when you are away. I am currently trying to fit dog walking into my schedule in the mornings before my job starts (STARTING IN MAY). I can also check up on your furry friend in the evening. I am also building my online business so days I am not at my other job are more flexible! I am very good at directions and pay attention to details. I will follow the directions left by the owners when doing a check in! I listen to the pet, and if they are not so sure of me, I let them come to me (especially with cats!) And of course there will be lots of pets!

About: Whether taking care of my pets or my aunts or neighbors pets I always provide great care that includes giving the pet nothing but energy and attention Working part times so schedule is very open to different hours and asks, flexible in hours and really willing to work around the clients needs When taking care of clients pets in their home will follow all rules listed and showing nothing but respect for clients home and their belongings

About: I work at The Bark Yard, a fear and force free doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I care for dogs daily in a positive, stress-free environment. I’ve grown up with small to extremely large dogs—mainly Boston terriers and Great Pyrenees—and have hands-on experience with feeding, medication routines, enrichment, and reading canine body language. I also personally own and care for a cat, so I’m comfortable providing attentive, gentle care for both dogs and cats. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily and weekly routine. I work hands-on at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, so caring for animals, following schedules, and reading behavior is second nature to me. At home, I care for my own cat with consistent feeding, litter maintenance, playtime, and observation. Because pet care is built into my lifestyle—not something I squeeze in—I’m reliable, attentive, and able to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow all written and verbal instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and household rules. I respect the pet’s space, read body language, and move at their comfort level—especially for shy or anxious pets. I keep doors, gates, and leashes secure, maintain a clean environment, and leave the home as I found it. My goal is for pets to feel calm, safe, and cared for in their familiar environment.

“Andy has been walking my dog fairly regularly for over 6 months now and I can’t recommend him enough. He is always timely in his response and communicates very clearly. I would recommend him to anyone who’s looking for a loving and responsible dog walker.”

About: My pet care experience began when I was a child. Grew up having dogs and other pets in the house. It was the norm for me. That is until college came about and then moved to a large city. Having a pet wasn't viable during those years. This pattern broke when I found myself being asked to house sit for friends that I was also being asked to hang out with their pets while they were gone. I soon began to be a go to person for a few close friends to babysit their pets and plants. The skills that I have with pets are being able to understand them with body language. Hence the nick name dog whisperer. I am currently working part time and have Wednesdays and Thursdays, including the weekend available. Any time of the day of those specifically are perfectly feasible to accommodate care from me. I follow the diet guidelines given to me and don't alter from it. Outside of that, I make sure they are treated with love and attention throughout my time with them. Walks, play time, relax time...it all has a moment through within the day.

“Thank you for the cancellation.”

About: Hi everyone, my name is Alex, I am a 23-year-old college student playing for the Saint Josephs College of Maine men's soccer team. I grew up in southern Maine with my parents and brother and we have never not had a dog in the house. When I was born we had Duncan and Seneca, in fifth grade we got Mac, who was a lot of my responsibility until I left for college. Waking up to let him out, feed him, clean up after him, exercise and training. You name it and I have done it, I take huge pride in the way I treat animals and learning to live with them my entire life has given me a huge sense of love and responsibility towards pets. I started to watch my neighbors dogs and cats at around 12 years old and have wished I could do it for an actual job ever since. I am in school currently studying Health and Wellness, and playing as much soccer as I can. Because of these commitents I am very organized and a clear communicator, these are two of my strengths so please always feel free to reach out and see when I'm available. I am so excited to be here and to help you guys out!! Going to school full time but living at home in Scarborough. I am able to commute to school from wherever as long as its within the proper time frame. Very good at following specific instructions for dogs, very fit lifestyle allows me to give dogs plenty of exercise if need be. I have trained and walked many dogs off lease and on, very comfortable with all harnesses, collars and electric fence options. Comfortable crating dog if need be, comfortable cleaning and cleaning up after pets.

“Tiffany has done a great job with Madison! She is very responsive and checks in often. He looks forward to his walks and tlc time with her. Tiffany has been very flexible and patient with Madx especially since he has had a slight muscle injury and sometimes needs a modified walk. Would book again and again!”

About: Thank you for checking out my rover profile! My name is Emma! I have a huge passion for animals and have experience working in doggy daycare! I love breeds of all sizes and shapes and use Pawsitive reinforcement training. I’m always very adaptable base on each individual animal. I’m always prepared for treats unless they’re provided. I look forward to meeting your pets and will treat them like they are my own. Please reaching out for additional information ! My schedule is flexible since I currently work part-time, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I’m available Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays from 9am–3pm, as well as Friday afternoons. This schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and care during visits or house sitting. I always do my best to work with each owner’s routine so their pet’s day stays as normal and comfortable as possible. I believe every pet deserves care that’s tailored just for them. I use positive reinforcement, patience, and lots of encouragement to help pets feel safe, confident, and happy. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so I can adapt my care to what they need—whether that’s energetic playtime, calm companionship, or maintaining training cues. I’m also happy to house sit in your home so your pet can stay relaxed in their familiar environment. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime to senior pups who require patience and gentle care. What sets me apart is my focus on making each dog feel safe, loved, and at home, whether that means long walks, belly rubs, or sticking to their exact routine. I’m reliable, attentive, and quick to notice changes in behavior or needs, which gives pet parents peace of mind. If your dog needs medication, extra exercise, or just a little extra snuggle time, I’m happy to provide it. Every dog has their own personality, and I love tailoring my care to make sure they’re comfortable and happy. I am currently in medical school so my schedule is busy but with plenty of time free on the weekends! I have full days (8am-6pm) Monday and Friday, but only brief afternoon classes on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and would love to spend my non-class time with a pup! I am additionally free any time on weekends as my weekends mainly entail staying at home to study. I am currently unable to offer pet care in my apartment. I live in an apartment building that is not pet friendly. I am able to travel wherever is needed!

I work full-time, but have a fairly flexible schedule and can accommodate working from home and breaks to check in on your pet. I’m generally free on evenings and weekends, as well. I’ll follow your lead to make our time together the most safe and comfortable experience possible for your pet. Feel free to set up a meet-and-greet beforehand to go over any special instructions.
