Dog Walking Kittery

About: I’ve cared for cats, dogs and all sorts of other animals for years and love doing it and just being with the animals bring me such joy. I’d love to help people by doing the thing I love! I’m currently busy from 8-3:30 Monday through Friday except for special occasions. I love walking dogs on beaches and on trails and give them lots of spots to sniff! I have a dog and cat at home so I know how to care for animals of all shapes and sizes! My dog is a pitbull mix so I have training in bigger dogs and he is highly well trained!

“Talia is so prompt, responsive, and obviously loves dogs. Togo’s tail was wagging as soon as he saw her. Talia managed to squeeze us in on a sick day for me, which I really appreciate. Now Togo is worn out and ready for his afternoon nap. Thanks so much, Talia!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for about 3 years and have experience taking care of both dogs and cats. I’ve helped friends, family, and other pet owners with feeding, walks, playtime, drop-in visits, and making sure their pets are comfortable and cared for while they’re away. I’ve always loved animals and I treat every pet like they’re my own! I’m currently in college working towards my associate degree in Veterinary Technology, and I also work part-time. My schedule can change depending on school and work, but I keep my Rover availability updated. I make sure I have enough time to give every pet the attention and care they need. I always make sure the pets I’m watching are safe and comfortable. I follow any instructions the owner gives me and try to keep the pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I also respect your home and make sure everything is safe and secure before I leave.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have a dog of my own. I understand their personalities, routines, and individual needs, and provide patient, attentive, loving care to every dog I look after. I’m self-employed, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your dog. I also have a dog of my own, so I’m accustomed to daily walks, feeding routines, companionship, and making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for Whether caring for pets in my home or theirs, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated while they’re in my care.

About: I enjoy exercise-focused walks. I have two large dogs and I believe a tired dog, is a happy dog. Each walk is tailored to meet your dog's energy level and exercise needs. Whether it's a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood or a brisk trail/beach walk, I ensure that your dog gets the physical activity (and love) required to maintain their health and happiness. I work remotely from home or cafes and have a flexible schedule throughout the week. I accept same day bookings and I'm happy to help in a pinch. Walking: One of my dogs is a rescue that I trained from having reactive behavior to an incredible family member. I believe in maintaining clear boundaries and reinforcing positive behavior during our walks. Drop-ins: I have the upmost respect for your space and will make sure your dog is mud-free at drop off. I will happily follow your house rules and specifications.

“Sheila was amazing. Very responsive, and showed up when promised. She took good care of our girl, took pictures and proactive about communicating. Woody”

About: Hi! I'm Marena—a lifelong animal lover and caretaker. I began dog and cat sitting at a very young age, and actively volunteering for animal rescues and farm sanctuaries in 2016. From socializing shelter puppies to shearing sheep, administering medication to llamas, and filing pig tusks, I've loved it all! I enjoy getting to know all sorts of personalities—from the active and boisterous, to the more reserved or anxious—my awareness of animal behavior allows me to provide the most positive and comfortable experience for your pet. In my free time I love bringing my dog, Lucy, for long walks on the beach (her favorite!) and exploring the outdoors. I'm currently a volunteer at the Maine State Society for the Protection of Animals, and a member of the Animal Rescue Team for the Humane Society of the United States. I have experience in pet first aid/CPR, basic obedience training, canine enrichment (agility work, nose work), and emergency response. I earned a certificate in Large Animal Emergency Rescue in June 2023 and am currently working toward certification in the Masterson Method of equine bodywork to relieve stress and tension in horses. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your animals! Thank you! I’m currently a freelance graphic designer/creative strategist and am generally available on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Mondays and Wednesdays are possibilities if given enough notice. Before booking a new client, I request that we schedule an in-person meet and greet. This makes it easier to build trust, as not all animals are instantly at ease with an unfamiliar person in their home. It also helps me learn specific details pertaining to my visit. I try to match your pet's routine as best as possible. This means learning what time they're used to eating, what their favorite activities or toys are, and any other preferences they may have. Overall, I strive to care for clients' pets as I do my own animals. This means lots of love, pictures, and regular updates to ensure you know how they're doing. And, as a guest in your home, I promise to leave everything as orderly and clean as it was when I arrived!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for several years, including my own dog, Million. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to each dog’s needs. I live in a quiet home with no children, no smoking, and a calm environment that helps dogs feel safe and relaxed. I follow feeding routines closely, enjoy walking and playing with dogs, and can provide frequent updates, photos, and videos. Your dog will be treated like family while staying with me. I work from home, so I am at home most of the day and able to give dogs plenty of attention. Because my schedule is flexible, I can take them out for walks, outdoor breaks, and playtime whenever they need. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and your dog will never be left alone for long periods. I live in a clean and quiet house with no children, no smoking, and multiple extra rooms where visiting dogs can rest comfortably. We also have an open yard where dogs can safely explore under supervision. My dog Million is friendly and fully trained, and I introduce dogs slowly to ensure everyone feels safe. I provide free toys and treats, follow your dog’s routine closely, and send frequent photo and video updates so you always know how your pup is doing.

“Beth was great and our picky dog loved her. She was calm and approachable and really helped our pup feel good about a new walker in her life!”
