Dog Walkers in Lake Arrowhead, ME

About: Hi there! I have 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs from all walks of life, especially high-energy large breeds. Dogs and cats have been part of my life forever, and I guarantee I will treat your pet just like my own—with the utmost love, care, and respect. Whether your pet loves snoozing on the couch or playing for hours, I’ll be there for their every need and wish! My current listed rates are a reduced introductory price to help me meet and care for more pets in the community. As demand grows, my prices may increase, but I’m committed to being upfront and transparent about any changes—and I’m always happy to answer any questions or concerns! Repeat clients will have priority for discounted pricing, making it easier for you and your pet to get reliable, consistent care. ☺️ I am fully available Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. I also offer a discounted rate of $23 for house sitting stays on M T W + F, as I do work outside of the home from 7:45 am - 5:45 pm those days but will be there for mornings, evenings and overnights if you have a pet who is comfortable with that time frame or have someone to let them out mid-day. 😊 I am usually available for last minute care requests as well! It's my primary goal to make sure your fur baby first and foremost feels safe and comfortable when I care for them. It can be stressful having someone new come into your space, so allowing time for slow introduction and bonding are very important. I want to be able to build trust and a loving bond with your pet, so both you and them know they're getting top quality care, love and affection from their new human friend.

About: I have at least two years of experience working in Emergency Veterinary Medicine, where I've been trained to take all dogs of any size or behavior for walks and care for them during their stay at the hospital. I own a large pup myself, so size doesn't scare me! I'm a great communicator, very responsible, and love each and every pup (or kitty!). I am typically more available to work in the early mornings or mid-afternoons, but I'm flexible and can work whenever if given a day heads up! I would love to take your fur baby for a walk, long or short! I can also work with dogs that aren’t leash trained, or tend to pull on their leash, as I have experience with all dogs. I'm also comfortable playing with your dog indoors for additional stimulation on rainy or snowy days, especially if they are senior pups!

“The dogs love her! She is very attentive and sends lots of pictures”

“Kara was a huge help when we had a last minute need for someone to come by in the middle of the day to care for our dog, Tucker. Tucker loved her right away and had a great time playing with Kara each day. We'll definitely work with Kara again!”

“Josephine has been cat sitting for my sister for a while now. I was in a bit of a jam as my regular dog walker wasn’t available. I reached out to Jo and she was very quick to respond. She came in for a meet and greet a week before. She did a one hour walk with both my dogs and was very communicative and gave great updates. Thank you, Jo! I will definitely be booking and using her services again.”

About: I recently had to say goodbye to my 8 year old black lab due to cancer. I am looking to spend some time helping others with their pet care. As a pet owner I understand how stressful time away can be due to missing your animal. Let me make your work day, work trip or vacation a little easier. I work full-time from home so I have flexibility to pet sit in your home, be available for walks or potty breaks, etc. During my free weekends I am available to stay with your pet. I am able to care for your pets in your home to make them feel safe and comfortable. This helps to avoid transportation or any settling in period.

About: I have a beautiful cat named Lila now and two guinea pigs. I have a lot of experience with pets and love animals. I have pet sat for friends and family. I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I do enjoy taking photos, so I will send lots of pictures of your fury friend while you’re away. I’m available and can work pet care around my daily and weekly schedule. I’m in between jobs right now so I have a lot of flexibility. I will make sure to watch the animal as if it's my own. I know how important your pet is to you. I will follow any rules given to me regarding your pet. I will also make sure to clean up any messes the pet makes and leave the space as clean as I got there.

“Stephanie is fantastic! She did a great job with drop in visits with my 8 week old puppy and was very knowledgeable in helping with the potty training process in my absences. She had lots of helpful tips and was super professional and communicative. Highly recommend Stephanie will all pups!”

About: Honest, Experienced, Reliable pet sitting and care. We take great pride in forming a bond with each pet we take care of. This is something that we love doing and will love yours like our own. As an added bonus you should get a few great photos of your favorite creature! We have taken care of Dogs, Cats, Parrots, Turtles, Fish, Chickens, Ducks, Goats, Pigs, Horses, worms, snails, etc. If you have some fun and interesting animals we would love to come, meet you and them, and take care of them while you are out of town, or just at work! We welcome pets that love to snuggle in bed, elderly pets, as well as difficult and anxious pets. Sometimes our posted rates don’t meet your special needs pets, and appreciate your patience in the negotiation process. You will get the best available and individualized care of your pets in our home, or yours. Daily updates along with photos and videos of your pet, and have the peace of mind they are being loved and cared for just like you would at your own home. We welcome training opportunities, and can continue treat and/or clicker training and potty training as well. My husband worked at a local Donkey rescue and I have been rescuing Strays since 1985. We both just love and care for animals. The nitty gritty details: We only watch pets from 1 family at a time. This lessens the stress on them, and us, and allows us to give them the BEST care possible. This also costs a bit more. Our time is valuable, as we know yours does as well. While we are capable of hosting multiple pets, we choose to focus our time and care on your families pets 1 at a time. We do require a meet and greet, and sometimes a “trial run” for certain breeds, elderly pets, or pets we will be watching for over 2 days. In most circumstances this is NOT required, but we do want to meet those who are known to have separation anxiety, barking issues, food aggression or aggression in general, have high energy needs, special diets and medications and any pet that doesn’t do well with strangers. Day care pets during the week do need to be fairly well mannered, and not have barking and/or major anxiety issues. Drop off before 8:00am and Pick-Ups after 8:00pm will be charged an additional $10 per hour. Pets not picked up within 15 minutes of the scheduled pick up window will be charged an additional $20/hr. I currently work full time remote, so will have plenty of time to play and care for your pets! We have a regular schedule of play time, including walking or outdoor time every 2-4 hours for 15-30 minutes. We have a fully fenced backyard, and ALWAYS leash ALL pets when outside our yard. We have had several “runners”, corgis and cats that want to bolt for the first sign of freedom… or squirrels/birds etc. We take great caution to make sure your pet is safe at ALL times.

“Faith is great! She was prompt and friendly, and managed our dog through a tricky situation on one of their walks. We really appreciate her help and experience, thank you!!”

About: I have cared for my own family dogs since I was 10 years old (cats since I can remember), and my friends typically think of me first when they need someone to help taking care of their pets. I've held a lifelong passion for animals (fun fact: my first word as a baby was my cat's name) and I have a B.A. in Zoology, so you know there's a genuine interest! I am comfortable with large and small dogs of all ages, I can lift up to 50-75lbs. pretty easily for those senior dogs that need a little help getting around, and I have experience administering medications both orally and topically. I'm also comfortable with other health needs, just let me know and we can discuss details. I'm able to identify general health concerns including discerning those that may require extra care while you're away, and I will be an excellent and organized communicator so you'll get regular updates on your fur babies however much you'd like (but I'm fine giving you the break if you need, or if required!). I love engaging with animals and am usually that person who's playing with or taking care of the dog at any gathering. You can rely on your loved ones getting the best care under my watch. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me time to take care of your loved ones while you're away. I currently have two cats of my own at home, who are pretty low-maintenance so I have time and energy to spare on your fur babies. I provide companionship, basic training as needed, play and exercise, medication administration, potty needs and basic grooming. We can discuss your pet's needs when you inquire about my services.
