Dog Walkers in Orono, 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.”

“Aidan communicates very well and is very knowledgeable about dog behaviors. He is patient with your animals, is friendly, and reaches out when needed. He’s very respectful.”

“Erica has been so amazing with Leo! Leo tends to be nervous of new people and reactive so I was very apprehensive about having someone new walk him. Erica took her time with Leo, doing a meet and greet and test walk before and was patient in allowing him to gain trust in her. He’s making such great progress with Erica and it’s so nice to have found someone who is so sweet and loving towards him and who can be trusted. Erica is very reliable, coming at the scheduled time each day and even willing to make last minute adjustments when needed. I can’t say enough how amazing Erica has been and how much Leo and I appreciate her for her help!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since I was old enough to walk, from horses to dogs and cats. I love animals and am very responsible. I am currently enrolled in college, so any house sitting must be pretty close to school or apartment in the bangor area. Otherwise I am pretty flexible and willing to work with you as long as you are willing to work with me:) Since I am enrolled in college, I cannot pet-sit in my own home. But I love animals and I believe they are more comfortable in the comfort of their own home and I am very tidy and will pick up after myself and your pet, if need be.

“Kate might possible be the greatest dog-walker that ever was! She is considerate, kind and caring. I recently became employed and finding Kate has been a load-off-my-mind. She is so capable and professional that it took the stress of leaving my dog home completely away. Look no further. Kate is your go to girl.”

“Madison has been walking my dog routinely for a couple of weeks now and has done an amazing job. I have a leash reactive dog which Madison handles no problem, and is helping greatly to calm him down on his walks around the neighborhood. Would definitely recommend her services”

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!

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

Barbara G.

“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.”

“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.”

Zena B.

“Mollie did very well with Kara. Kara was great with Mollie and even gave us updates/pictures on the walks. We couldn’t ask for more. Kara is an awesome pet sitter/walker. We will continue to use Kara as our permanent pet sitter/walker provider.”

Natalie M.

“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!!”

About: I’ve spent many years walking dogs, both my own and friend’s/family’s pets! I have pet sat and cared for both dogs and cats. As a pet owner and lover myself, I understand the respect and care each animal deserves and I aim to provide the best care possible! I am a recent college graduate and am beginning graduate school this fall. For the rest of the summer, my schedule is entirely clear and I am available to focus all my attention on caring for your pet! I am extremely mindful of safety precautions both on walks and while sitting/caring for pets in home. While I do not care for pets in my own home, I respect the rules and boundaries set by clients in their homes and aim to provide the best care for their pets!

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: 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, but from home with lots of flexibility. 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 have two dogs of my own that are now both 9 years old, and have been raised with me for all 9 years. I also often walk and take care of dogs for family, friends, and neighbor's who are busy or out of town. I am a college student with a couple in person and online classes. I love all animals and being outside and am happy to include a little pet care in my life everyday. I have two dogs of my own at my house and a large backyard. I have an open availability and am able to travel to houses and areas to care for other pets.

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

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.

About: I have been around animals my entire life. I've been involved in the training of 5 puppies, and have a lot of experience caring for larger breeds, particularly active and playful doggos. I have a cat of my own whom I love dearly, and love to make new furry friends. My past experience includes volunteering at a local boarding kennel, caring for senior dogs and administering medication, taking active pups on fun activities like swimming or hiking, and being a live in sitter during week-long getaways. Whether you need someone to stop in and check on your pup or someone to give your companion love and affection while you're away, I'm happy to help! I currently am taking one summer class and am working part-time jobs, so I have time particularly during the morning/midday and on weekends free to take care of your pets. I have a car cover for the backseat of my car, so any adventures we take I am prepared for. I like to earn pet's trust, so letting them come to me and show me what their comfortable with is key.
