Dog Walkers in Old Town, ME

“Elli was terrific! She came for a Meet and Greet and was a wonderful person and sweet to our girl Ducky who is high energy. Elli kept us updated and made our day trip to NH relaxing knowing she was taking Ducky on some walks.”

About: I used to work in a Kennel and worked with many different breeds of dogs and cats. I have worked with mean dogs and lovely dogs. I have worked with senior dogs as well. Growing up I have always had animals in my house and I always plan to. I work at a senior care facility in 3 days a week, 12 hour shifts. Seeing as I do work long shifts, my mother is able to run over and let dogs out during the day. I help a friend out at Dirigo Pines every so often, usually for 6 hours, but can take breaks. Other than that I just sit at the house I'm at amd relax. I dont get out of work late, usually six and feed dinner when I get home. I dont have any pets at the moment, but always have throughout my life. I have had a deaf cat, senior dogs and small animals. I can give medication if needed. I also try to take wals if the weather is nice.

“Justin and Eva were very happy and enthusiastic about meeting my dog, Bruce. They listened to all my recommendations and did a successful 1 hour walk, even in the rain! Very pleasant people to work with.”

About: I have been taking care of other peoples pets for my whole life and am a huge dog person! I have watched dogs long term a couple times and have owned all sorts of pets growing up. I am free most afternoons but am able to work early mournings if needed. If you need someone to do a longer walks I have time and enjoy high activity dogs. I love carrying for animals and have a love for dogs and researching training methods. I also enjoy high energy dogs and will go for extra long walks if your dog has extra exercise to get they’re energy out.

“Daisy was great with our young puppy! He's barely socialized yet and he loved her immediately! She also got him to enjoy a long walk when he hasn't been too keen on walks yet. Daisy was a pleasure to work with; easy going, respectful of our boundaries, and happy to schedule us whenever she could. Highly recommend!!”

“Anna is a life saver. Even though our pup can be shy and a bit reactive, Anna was able to work her magic. Super communicative and all around nice person.”

About: I've taken care of many dogs for my whole life, and love to spend time giving them extra care! Walks, play dates, car rides! Happy to help! I am a student and currently available Monday & Tuesday after 4:00pm, all day Friday, and on weekends. Possible availability on Wednesday and Thursday evening! I can care for dogs in clients home, or take them to a public park/dog-friendly area. Dogs won't be in my home, but I'm willing to walk and drive them around to get some outside exposure!

“Taylor did a great job walking Bonnie. I was so grateful to get her on short notice and she responded to my request quickly.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I aim to give your animals the attention they need 24/7. I am home from college and I would love to spend my summer with my full attention on making your pet the happiest and most loved while you’re away!. My dog was my best friend and she sadly passed away of old age, I would love to be your trusted care taker and keep your pets the safest with me. You don’t have to think about it! Your animal will be in the bestest of hands :) I’m currently working part time over the summer, I am around the dates I have available. I can negotiate and work out anything to make it fit for you! I have one cat who is very friendly around others and minds her own business. I live in a very pet friendly environment so there is absolutely nothing to worry about for your pets safety. I’ll work towards your pets needs and keeping them safe while you’re away!

About: I have been taking care of dogs for 2 years now, starting with helping out with my family. But now I have been pet sitting for friends and family, and around 9 months ago I started working at a dog daycare, helping them out there! As a current nursing student, I am willing to work on a schedule that works for you and your pup! I am able to help anytime before or after my classes, and even in between! When it comes to safety, I am willing to do whatever is most comfortable for you and your pup. Whether this is crating your pup during the day or letting them out of leash outside!

About: I am an experienced Rover sitter that has recently returned to sitting as I've started graduate school and no longer working big girl business job :) I am a graduate student at the University of Maine and a lifelong animal lover. I grew up in the south with dogs of all sizes, then moved to Maine to start my program. I moved with my two cats: Nugget and Tripod (yes he has three legs, lol). They mean so much to me so I understand and have the utmost respect for the connection people have with their pets. Rover is a great way for me to love on all kinds of fur babies! I've been pet-sitting since I was a teen and have experience with dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, chinchillas- you name it!- ranging from small to large, young to old. During the summer- I have greater availability as classes are out and I don't have to teach. I do ask that drop-ins honor a 1.5-2 hour window as things come up, but I try to be as available as I can at the times requested. As I have two pets of my own, I know inviting someone into your home and trusting them to watch your fur babies can be intimidating. I will make every attempt to ensure each visit is as stress-free for your pets as possible. I treat anyone's pets the way I would want someone to treat my own- with love and care!

About: I have always had pets in my house growing up and I love spending time with both cats and dogs. Playing fetch and snuggling is my favorite thing to do! I am pretty flexible and free, especially on the weekends. I am a college student but I I don’t have a job keeping me busy! I have a 2 dogs and cat, all who are super sweet and love to make friends. I can crate your dog if needed and so have a big to play in.

About: Hi! My name is Madeline. I am a passionate animal person and have been caring for animals pretty much my entire life. I've personally owned dogs, cats, horses, birds, fish, hamsters and cared for ferrets, snakes, and a variety of livestock/farm animals. I label myself as a true animal lover and pride myself on being able to connect with animals on a special level. I have been a professional sitter/dog walker for over 8 years now, and am ready to take on more clients. I do have a small home so I can only take 1-2 bookings at a time. I always aim to have a respectful relationship with owners and try to be as honest and helpful as possible! I have many, many references available. I look forward to meeting your pets! I am super flexible and always willing to hear your needs and see what we can make work, especially with the busy-ness that is the holidays. So feel free to reach out and I’ll see how I can best accommodate you and your pets 🙂 I do work a full time job M-F My schedule is designed to be flexible and meet multiple pet owners needs. Let me know what your fur baby needs and we’ll get it arranged. I have a small cat who prefers to keep to herself. My home is dog proof and although I don’t have a fenced yard but I have wonderful walking areas in my community so your pet will end up with more walk time and socialization than just staying in a yard.

About: I use to dog sit my grandma's dog, Ava, all the time before she passed away, giving her baths and walks as well as the occasional 5am pee time. I also have taken care of my friends one year old Corgi for a few days while they were out of town. I am a musician so my days are usually very open. I drop my partner off at work at 3pm and pick her up at night. During these times I am completely free to take car of your furry child. I will let them sniff and roam where they may when on leash or in an enclosed area. I will take long walks and play with them as needed so they feel worked out. I love rewarding good behavior so I'll help in basic commands with little treats as rewards.

“She was great! Lots of pictures, and my dog was a happy camper after their walk together!”
