Dog Walkers in Oakland, ME

“So kind and communicative! Will definitely use her again!”

About: I am a high school teacher, and I love to take care of animals on the side. Your dogs can hang out in my apartment and get lots of love during breaks. I love taking dogs out on walks and to parks and being active with them. If your dog is shy, that's ok too! I can take them to places where we won't run into many people. I can also come to your home and look after your dog where they might be more comfortable. I have a cat at home, but I am missing my time living with dogs, so I thought that this would be the perfect compromise! I am also available to take care of any cats or other small animals that you may have at your home. I am at work on the weekdays until the late afternoon, but I am super excited to take care of animals on the weekends and in the evenings. I can do whatever works best for both of our schedules. I love having dogs (and cats!) come to my house, but sometimes I think it's easier for them to stay in the environment where they are the most comfortable. I am willing to accommodate what you think is best for your pet.

“Melissa was great! She walked our two 70lb pit bulls Skye and Blue 4 days in a row. She was great communicating the times she was going to walk them and showing up on time. She sent pictures each walk with the map and distance of the walks. We would definitely hire Melissa again to walk Skye and Blue. Highly recommended!, Thank you Melissa!”

“Madelyn is wonderful with my dog. He loves their time together. She follows instructions and takes professional quality photos of my pup on their walks. 🐶📷💕Her communication is always great too!”

About: Grew up with animals including lizards, cats, dogs, birds and horses. Volunteered in animal shelters doing all care of cats and dogs! Love animals :) I volunteer at the shelter, so I work short shifts at odd hours but I am fully available at almost any other time of the day! I have three cats currently who are the most spoiled animals, they get lick mats, vitamins, and all sorts of other fun enrichment. They are also some of the kindest cat you will ever meet! I would extend this love for my cats to your animal offering homemade pumpkin puree treats (if allowed) and plenty of attention and play time!

Weekdays I have open availability to fulfill both pet and pet parent’s specific needs - Availability may be subject to change based on prior bookings. First come first serve with all suitable service requests :) In my home, I have an extremely dog friendly setup. Large fenced in yard and farmers porch equipped with doggy doors for easy accessibility! I have 2 Australian Shepherds who are incredibly dog friendly, love snuggling and adding new friends to their pack! That being said, my care will depend on the pet owners preference - I am able to crate, restrict doggy door access, limit play time with my dogs etc. If your pet is not dog friendly or you simply prefer your pet stays in your own home while away, I offer my services on location as well! All of which is completely decided upon your preferences and with your pet’s best interests in mind.

“Rylee is a very attentive pet caregiver. It is clear that she loves animals and our dogs love her. Rylee is very patient but also very energetic. I know of 4 families who have hired her to care for their dogs and they all seem very happy with her!”

About: I’ve walked and cared for dogs and cats my whole life, including up to five at one time! I’ve also fostered over the years, with big and small dogs part of my past clients. Moved to Augusta earlier in 2023. I have a hybrid M-F work schedule, so weekends are generally best, but I can often make weekdays work. My neighborhood is not far from a dog park as well. I am in a 2-bedroom apartment that has a decent-sized grassy area outside in front. A few other dogs are in the apartment building. We’ve got an empty guest room if dogs and cats want more space to play and nap. Otherwise, I generally keep the bedroom and living room open.

“Jessica took very good care of my pup on his walk! It provided me so much piece of mind seeing how happy he looked in his photos. Also, she noticed he chewed up his dog bed and kindly picked up the stuffing while I was at work. Thank you Jessica!”

“Alex did great with my dogs! She made time for a meet and greet with them so they would feel comfortable when she came. Loved the updates and photos of their walk. I will be contacting Alex to walk them again in the future!”

“Ileia has a great compassion for animals. She is an all around great person. I highly recommend her for a dog caregiver. I see her on a weekly basis at Corinth Vet and have had nothing but great experiences with her. My dogs love her ?”

“Professional and friendly, kept us informed and most importantly our dog liked him!”

“Riley is trustworthy and compassionate. She is responsible and dependable. Riley takes her job seriously and enjoys getting to know all of the animals she cares for and treats them as her own.”

“Alyx was flexible and easy to communicate with. Scooby was well taken care of with her!”

“Feli definitely seemed to enjoy Kaitlyn's visits, and we returned home to a happy puppy. Kaitlyn kept up great communication throughout our trip, providing us with great updates and photos of Feli. Happy we left Feli in such caring hands.”

“Monte is great with cats and dogs. Loving, caring and takes the time the pet needs to feel comfortable and safe. He is active with the ones that needs to get their energy out and will just sit and live on the couch potatoes. I've had Monte care for my high energy dog and seen his love for his own cat. I would use Monte every time I needed a pet sitter”

About: I’ve grown up around animals of all kinds - dogs and cats included. I love animals and wish to make a career out of providing pet care. I am pet first aid & CPR certified and I am bonded and insured. I strive to provide nothing but the best care possible! I have trained my service dog all by myself and have trained my other dog myself! I also have experience with training other dogs — I specialize in service dogs and problem behaviors in dogs! I do my best to be very flexible with scheduling. I do have occasional appointments but those can typically be worked around. I would very much appreciate having recurring customers, this also makes it easier to fit new clients into my scheduling. I have a portal system for easy scheduling and invoicing as well! I enjoy being active and I wish to work to become more active. I have a standard poodle who is my service dog. I also have a younger standard poodle that I have trained myself. I do not always bring my service dog with me, it is all dependent on how our dogs interact. Also if you would like for me to teach your dogs I would be happy to talk more!
