Dog Walkers in Phippsburg, ME

“Caroline is wonderful--she suggested a meet-and-greet which told me that she truly cares about the animals that are entrusted to her care. She was very accommodating and flexible and more than willing to meet our dog, Hoku's needs and desires-playtime in puddles! and long sniffs around the woods. Caroline did a great job introducing Hoku to some lovely canine friends--words cannot convey how grateful I am to know that Hoku was able to enjoy some friendly-pup time and it also that tells me that Hoku was very comfortable and relaxed with Caroline! We will not hesitate to reach out to Caroline again if the need arises. Caroline was also willing and able to drive out to us in the boondocks of Georgetown despite the terrible condition of our dirt road.”

“When I think of an animal lover, I think of Cori. Cori has a lot of experience administering medications and giving lots of cuddle to animals. She's owned kittens and senior cats so is very experienced in all ages of animals. Whether she is loving on her own cats or visiting friends just to see their animals, she treats every animal as if they are her own. I would trust Cori to watch my animals more than I would trust my own husband to look after them. If she could, she would live her life rescuing all different species of animals and giving them the most loved life.”

“Great communication and flexibility, awesome pictures. Highly recommend.”

“I fully trust Stephanie with my dog Boomer. She is amazing!”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a kid! I've always had dogs and cats! I had a golden retriever as my childhood dog and miss her everyday. My first memory of her was coming home from Massachusetts where we adopted her and as we pulled in to our driveway and she got sick in my lap! Ever since that day I knew she was my dog. I learned responsibility from taking care of her. We also had several cats so I'm happy to take care of any animal you may have! I'm patient, engaging and ready to love your pets! My husband is allergic to dogs so I decided to sign up for rover to live out my dream of having a dog! I get to stay with some pretty amazing pets and I am excited to hopefully meet yours! We have 3 amazing cats- Frank, Charlie and Mimzi. My wonderful husband stays home with them while I am tending to clients animals if I am booked for any house sittings. Our childhood dog had some health issues, and I do have experience giving dogs antibiotics through food distribution. In addition to this, one of my senior cats has asthma and is on a daily inhaler that we give. I work as a retail manager in downtown Freeport & work in Pottland. I work between the hours of 10-6pm. I can be available in the morning, evening and perhaps can take a lunch break to walk dogs if the distance is close in proximity to my work! I currently don't have a busy schedule! I am also open to over night pet sitting! My animals are like my kids. We are a young couple that decided not to have kids, and we give our cats a comfortable life! I would look after a clients pet the same way I look after mine. My cats are very social and require a lot of human interaction (which is absolutely amazing!!) I would treat your animals just as I do mine with the love, care and respect they deserve! My cats are indoor due to the busy street we live on! We used a gate in our entry way to ensure our cats stay indoors. I am committed to making sure your pets are safe and in the comfort of their home! We ensure our cats are up to date on all vaccines, health checkups through vet at your door (highly recommend them!)

About: I have been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up walking, bathing, grooming, and training dogs of all shapes and sizes. Growing up, my family had between two and six dogs in the house at any given time. We fostered from the local shelter, and so I have a lot of experience with all different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My best memories include running and hiking and snuggling up on the couch with all of our pups. Caring for dogs is second nature to me, and I would love to help you care for your pet! I am currently working from home and have plenty of time to keep your pet(s) company. With no dogs of my own, I welcome the presence of any furry friends in need of some company, good pats, snuggles, and walks! I am an avid runner and hiker, and I am more than happy to bring pups along. I have a large yard and access to good walking and running routes suitable for pets. I have access to reliable transportation, and am happy to have dogs in the car should it be necessary.

“Danielle is very sweet and quick to respond! Her replies were always thorough and reassuring. The dogs were happy, even our anxious pup. We got photos at every visit and feel confident in using her again in the future!”

“Murphy had a great walk! Thanks Lilly!”

“Lexi is a life-long animal lover and wonderful caretaker for your dog or cat. She is a wonderful doctor (who almost decided to become a vet) and is attentive, responsible, and caring. Your furry loved one would be in the best of hands with Lexi.”

About: I grew up with Golden Retrievers and cats as a kid, and as an adult, I regularly took care of my mother’s dog-feeding, walks, bathroom breaks and giving love and attention while she was traveling or at work for about 10 years. I spent a lot of time in his last years as a senior dog when his health declined working from home at her house every day to provide care and company for him. I miss having a dog close by to take for walks and spend time with, and would love the opportunity to walk and provide company to your dog! I used to work part time as a vet tech assistant, and am familiar with recognizing animal behavior. I still currently work at a vet clinic as the Practice Manager where I have been for 7 years. Animals are my passion. I lost my cat last year and mom’s dog the year before, and would really appreciate spending some more time with animals on my days off. I miss taking her dog for walks, and currently live in an apartment where dogs are not allowed, so would very much enjoy the opportunity to walk your dog and spend some time with them while earning some extra income. I love cats too! I work full days Monday-Wednesday, and am unavailable during that time, but am available to care for your pet Thursday-Sunday, and am flexible with times! I’m happy to walk your dog on their usual route. If they don’t do well outside of the house due to being unsocialized, I’m happy to play with them at your home in your yard so they can get some exercise.

“Berenice (Nice) has been a wonderful pet sitter/walker on many different occasions for our two dogs - a large 2-year-old German Shepherd-Malamute mix (Loki) and a medium sized 1-year-old hound-collie-Shepherd mix (Storm). These dogs are a handful, yet Nice was always calm, friendly yet firm with the dogs, and they were very quick to warm up to her--even Loki, who has some fear and anxiety issues. It was clear from the start that Nice loves dogs--and that they respond very positively and comfortably to her. Nice was also extremely responsible and reliable; she always communicated with us about her availability and her plans, sent us useful updates and photos, and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. She was also very quick to let us know if there was anything amiss--for example, when Loki started limping or when one of them didn't eat their food. We completely trusted Nice with our dogs and she's one of the first people we reach out to when we need a dog sitter/walker. I highly recommend Nice for your pet sitting and walking needs!”

“Cheryl has been watching my dog since he was about 6 months old. She has been absolutely wonderful and is great with communication. You can tell from the first time you meet her that she’s an animal lover and will treat your pet so well. She has been great dealing with some medical issues that my dog has experienced over the last 6 months and is very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Cheryl to take care of your pet!”

“Annabelle is great with pets. She has experience watching and caring for multiple animals. Annabelle has taken care of dogs of all sizes. She is comfortable handling small or large animals. She is responsible and loving to pets.”

About: I've taken care of cats and dogs for 8 years. Pet-boarding and farm care for family, friends, and neighbors. Well-rounded care, combined with heart warming playfulness. Animals take to me very quickly. My schedule is currently open for pet-boarding as I am working remote from home. I have some plans arising in early March, but otherwise have plenty of available weeks and weekends, all through the year. Always making sure the animal(s) needs are fully addressed. Their comfort and happiness is paramount to me. Regular potty-breaks are fun for me. Taking animals on walks bring me joy. I keep my home clean, and will keep your pets in clean shape too. Pet and human first aid kits are in the home, and I am trained in pet CPR.

“We are so Thankful for Carolyn B … I can count on her complete care and kindness in caring for my dog Rupert and our Cat , Franklin. She is diligent about details in care for each of My fur babies. It is a complete relief when I am away and I know Carolyn is taking care of them. They love her and looks forward to seeing her each visit.”

“Haleigh is prompt and has great communication. My dog is enjoying his walks!”

“We are so grateful to have found Sarah! She has been lovely to work with, incredibly reliable, and always impeccably on time when it comes to our walking schedule. We had just welcomed a new puppy to our very busy and active family and Sarah was so flexible and kind as we figured out a routine that worked just right for our little pup. She sends me honest and genuine updates on how Tiva did that day as well as any concerns that come up that she thinks I should know about. I always come home to a clearly exercised and happy dog. Could not recommend enough :)”

“Sabrina was great… she spent time playing with Mack and was very responsive.”

About: As an energy worker in the field of the healing arts, I have a strong connection with animals. They are our allies, healers, teachers, and beloved family. I have always had multiple pets living in my home at any given time since birth so I always love animals around me. As an animal and plant person by Nature, I “speak their language” and make it a priority and joy to tune in with their needs and just be together, sharing space and enjoying life in any given moment. When at home I am quiet, peaceful, tidy and neat. I believe that being a strong loving presence wherever we are is our purpose in Life and I appreciate to always leave the spaces I visit better than I found it. Your pets and home will be well taken care of, at ease, and loved with me by the grace of God. I have somewhat of a green thumb (I have been studying, learning, and practicing year by year) and am an aspiring herb & food grower, forager, folk herbalist, and novice yet passionate baker. I have some homestead experience (horses, chickens, gardens, willing to learn livestock care as well) and have also had reptilian pets in the past, open to snakes, birds, dragons, rodents, fish, you name it. If we agree it’s a good match and I’m taking care of your home, just tell me what you want & need taken care of and I’ll do whatever I can to make sure you come home to a happy and comfortable home, almost like you never left! Rover is fun too because you never know who you’re going to meet! I am open to all kind and loving humans and animals, and I do not discriminate in any manner. As long as you have good virtues and love life and all around you to the fullest, I’m sure it will be a good match and will be an honor to support each other. At this phase in my life I wear many hats, including pet & home sitter, homeschool teacher, online educator and student. I also have a job online where I can work remotely during the week, so this allows me the ability to create my own schedule and work where ever I am. So, for now pet sitting fits right in and is a perfect compliment to my lifestyle and goals. Where I’d typically be working from my home taking care of my pets, home, and land, my partner can take care of ours while I take care of yours, and then I also get to make and save a little extra $ towards the first home fund! So, as long as I have internet access I can work from anywhere, making me very flexible for your pet’s specific needs. In your home I will follow your instructions and duplicate however you care for your pet & home. You tell me! I love going on walks and am as adventurous as your pet (dog loves a walk on the beach? Jump in let’s go! But if they’d rather stay home and snuggle that’s great too). 😊
