Dog Walkers in Poland, ME

“Excellent! Richard has a good way with dogs. He was able to get my dog out for his mid day walks, even traveling a ways. Highly recommend! Communication is great.”

“Livi was great! Tombstone had a great walk with her and was still worn out when I got home from work. She is very easy to communicate with.”

About: I have a humungous passion for dogs and animals. If you are like me, your pet is your baby and you want the very best care for them. Since my childhood I’ve had a handful of different kinds of dog breeds In the household. I had dogs from both breeders and adoption clinics and had both easy and very challenging pups. I love them all. It’s not always easy finding the right fit to look after your fur babies or even trust in their safety, especially when they may need lots of extra attention and or are super active, aggressive, or pullers. My guy at home is part Mastiff. He’s the strongest dog I’ve ever experienced so I’m well versed in handling the power pullers and crazies. If your baby(ies) love attention they will surely get all they want when I’m there. Any Puppy or Senior attention needs are ok. I enjoy grooming as well. And will continue any training your are working on. I look forward to meeting your pet(s)! I’m available Full Time right now. I am available weekends as well. I’m very flexible as I don’t have children and care for my pet at home. Safety and Trust are so important when It comes to our pets. This will vary on your home and environment. I would base this off of how you manage safety with your pets in your home normally and/or as well if your pet responds differently with me around and needs space or boundaries. Going outside, I.e. My dog at home needs to be clipped to his leash before the door opens or he may decide to run out after something. These are the kind of measures I would take to be sure they stay safe. It’s best for me to get a good description of your pets behaviors and especially towards other people and animals so I can keep your pet safe. They’re may be other things like allergies or seizures that are problematic for your pet and are important for me to know.

About: I have cared for many of my neighbors animals: feeding, walking, and playing for 8+ years. I have experience caring for senior dogs assuring they were safe and cared for in a gentle and kind manner. I am comfortable going on long walks and hikes as well as dog socialization and playtime. I have availability Thursday and Friday mornings into the early afternoon and am available weekends. I can provide overnight weekend care at pet owner’s residence. I will follow every instruction from owner to keep their house clean and animals safe and happy! I can provide long walks and outdoor time as well as follow all training protocols.

About: Growing up I had pets, through college I had pets and now into my adult life I currently have 3 dogs, 2 cats and chickens. I currently foster through Miles to Freedom Animal Rescue out of Oxford, Maine. I have been fostering for 3 years and absolutely love getting know each animal and their unique personality. I am a teacher so during the summers I am off and available to be home to provide any and all care the animals need. I have crates available for your pups if needed, they are welcome on our couch or in bed, whatever makes them comfortable. I have a fenced in area out back for your pet/s to burn off some energy as well as great woods for walks. Let me know what your pet needs and I will make it happen!

About: I’ve fostered over 50 puppies and have two dogs of my own. My education is in animal care and am very compassionate and partial towards animals I have work week availability and some weekends. Very flexible hours. I’m in finishing my animal behavior degree and can work around most schedules easily. My two dogs enjoy the lazy life of couch surfing and laying on the grass. Everyone is up to date on shots and enjoying the simple life.

About: Our home is very pet friendly/lovable! We have an 11 year old Miniature Dachshund named Marlena. She has spent her entire life growing up with our children and has always been around other dogs (we have been home to multiple long-term foster pups). I am confident in my ability to provide a fun, loving and positive atmosphere/experience for your dog and look forward to meeting you both! Being a stay at home mom gives me the ultimate flexibility to provide 24/7 care for your dog. This allows for frequent potty breaks, lots of attention and somebody who is around for dogs who may have anxiety and prefer not to be left alone. Accommodating individual needs is no problem at all. Multitasking has become a valuable skill set and I am very good at maintaining structure and staying on schedule.

“Kat is very nice lady and went out of her to meet Daisy as I was in a bind. She left a very good report card how she was. I would strongly recommend her to anyone. I will be booking her in the near future”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid, people tend to come to me to watch theirs when out of town or busy I currently am in between jobs, so I will have plenty of time for these animals. I will be getting a job pretty soon though. I will fallow all instructions you may have. I also have 3 fur babies of my own, so if I were to bring them to my place they would have plenty of company.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since before I can remember. There has always been multiple in my house growing up. My parents breed… and taking care of them, walking and feeding is a big responsibility, I have always been part of this task. My family has relied on me to tend to dog duties since middle school. Rover is full time, so unless i’m booked, I have time! This allows me lots of time to be with the dogs, exercise and make sure they’re never left alone for more than 4-6 hours! Trusting someone to trust your fur baby is a big step in a new pup family. You never want to let your dog out of your sight. I will be able to tend to your dogs needs and get them through the day, whether it’s taking them for a walk or playing with them, parents will be in the loop and know what is going on at all times!

“Amber was really nice, great with my dogs. And they are a handful! I will definitely be hiring her again.”

“Alena was so kind, communicative and caring to our pup! I would definitely ask her to take skip on a walk again!”

About: For as long as I can remember animals have always been a part of my life. I love caring for them and working with them. I also have experience with senior dogs. I'm flexible with hours and I don't mind working on the weekends! I work full time but have a 2 hours break in the middle of my days so I'll still be able to care for your baby! I can let the dogs out as frequently as needed, feed and bathe them if needed. I will always be with them outside either on a walk, going to the bathroom or just playing.

“Sophie is a great caretaker. Extremely reliable, and just loves all animals! She treated our pets like they were her own, and they loved her. Highly recommend!”

“Mesa LOVES animals!! She grew up on a farm and cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, horses, goats, pigs, and cows! (A hamster too!) She showed pigs and rabbits in 4-H and FFA. She loves to come home to love and play with her pets still on the farm!! She is a kind and compassionate nurse! She is a caring and loving person and would be an amazing caregiver for any/every pet!”

About: I am the owner of a superb Spaniel mix and I love to make dogs happy. I work from home so my schedule is flexible and your dog won't be left alone. I can adapt my walking and running according to the dog's energy. My husband and I rescued Cléo about 7 years ago and I firmly believe that I take really good care of dogs. I am especially attentive to dogs' behavior and I have years of experience working with a few different types of dogs. I love bigger dogs, but all types of dogs are my favorites. I treat all dogs like my own. We don't have a fenced yard at the moment, but we take daily walks in the woods and in the neighborhood. I work from home and have my own business, so I can manage my schedule to take good care of the dogs. I take my dog every morning for a walk in the woods. I take daily walks in the woods and my dog is really friendly with all other dogs, so you dog will have company. And I'll be with your dog all the time.

“I have had Rebecca several times during this past year as a dog sitter for my 3 dogs. She has been reliable, caring and gone out of her way on a few weekends when I had to go out of state at the last minute. She loves dogs and it shows ! She has taken videos for me while she let's them out to run in my yard. This is so helpful to know the dogs love her to come over. A plus for me is that she lives nearby and I know I can depend on her. Highly recommended 👌! Sandra Goulet”

“Ashley recently watched my dogs in my home for a week and a half while I was on vacation. I have 3 very high maintenance dogs that take all sorts of supplements and like to get up very early in the morning. Ashley handled all of them with ease - taking them for regular walks and updating me with photos over the course of the week. She treats the dogs as though they were her own and I can't say enough positive things about my experience with her. I will be using her services again next time I take a trip.”

“Lauren and her pup Norma are good friends of ours. I love going for walks with Lauren, Norma and my dog Yoshi. She is very attentive and sweet to all animals. Lauren is gentle, present and loving- any dog would be lucky to spend some time with her.”

“Shawna is reliable, responsible, and the biggest dog/animal lover I have ever met. She is super flexible and will go above and beyond to ensure that your dog feels comfortable, loved is safe and has fun! My dog, Ella, absolutely loves Shawna and acts like a maniac in the car as soon as we pull into her driveway because she knows she gets to see her! I get pictures and videos throughout the day (or whenever I ask)! Please do not hesitate to book Shawna for you pet sitting needs! Shawna will always be the best around!”
