Dog Walking Rockland

“My feisty pitbull liked Shelly immediately, as did I. I had to make quick dog sitting arrangements while visiting a friend out of state, and was relieved to have connected with Shelly to care for my pooch. Was very happy with the arrangement and recommend her highly.”

“Melanie was great! She liked the dogs and the dogs liked her. She would take them for long walks. We were confident that they were being well taken care of. She is top of our list for taking care of our dogs in the future.”

About: Just a college kid missing my pets while at school and willing to give an abundant amount of attention to everyone else's. Have had dogs , among other animals, all my life. All of the dogs that I have owned have been on the bigger side so I have no problem handling large animals. I also volunteered at the MSPCA for a short amount of time walking and caring for dogs and other animals there. Have recently moved to Portland and am looking for some new dogs to walk and love! If you need someone to look after any kinds of pets, I’m you’re girl! Very comfortable with any animal whether it be furry, scaley, feathered. Or anything else. Look forward to meeting your pets!

“I can highly recommend Beth. She is a sweet person, obviously loves animals, and is dependable. I trust her to take care of my Billie.”

About: Ever since i was little we've always had animals at home, I have experience caring for animals with different needs and personalities. I'm very attentive to pet behavior and i understand how important routines, patience, and trust are when caring for someone's pet, my number 1 priority is to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I'm currently working part-time so Mondays-Fridays i am available to care for pets, i am able to do weekends if needed, but my schedule is pretty open! I have a Mini Austrailian Shepherd named Teagan who is my fur baby, she goes out about every two hours but if she really needs to go she will tell you, she gets along great with other dogs, and she is full of personality and loves to play!

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 3+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. I have two dogs and a cat of my own, so I understand just how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or a cozy drop-in visit, I’m here to make sure your furry family members feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Their comfort and happiness are my top priority—because when they’re happy, I’m happy too! Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! This summer, I’m working just three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility and free time to dedicate to caring for your pets. Once school starts again, my schedule will be even lighter, so I’ll have consistent availability throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and quality cuddle time. I love spending my downtime with animals—it’s genuinely one of the most rewarding and joyful parts of my day. Whether it’s early morning, mid-day, or evening visits, I’m more than happy to work around your pet’s needs and routine! When caring for pets in a client’s home during drop-ins and walks, my goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their familiar environment. During drop-ins, I’ll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, clean up any messes, and spend quality time with them—whether that’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company. For walks, I ensure your dog gets the exercise, mental stimulation, and potty breaks they need, always keeping safety a top priority. I tailor every visit to your pet’s routine and personality, so they feel calm and cared for while you’re away.

About: Lots of love and lots of experience. Small and large, feisty or chill, cat or dog, any age, any needs, I can provide excellent care in your home, mine, or out and about! I work remotely - have laptop, have car, can travel - so my schedule is flexible. I am available for periodic care or longer term. In your home - your guidelines and with the utmost respect for you, your pets, your home, and your privacy. I can provide excellent references. In my home - I have separate living quarters in a home with two small dogs. There is a fenced in yard and lots of accessible neighborhood walks. Safe and secure, whatever works best for you and your pet.

“Tanya has been so patient & sweet with Luna and her stranger danger. She’s been great so far and we look forward to working with her more in the future!”

“I think that my dog Elsa can sense Melanie's love for dogs. During our earlier meet and greet, Elsa, a fairly shy dog, seemed comfortable with Melanie, going back to her for treats and pets. For this visit, Melanie showed up right on time, followed the plan we talked about, gave updates with photos, and gave a great, informative summary of the visit. We've rarely had carers/sitters for my dog, so I was very happy to see that Elsa seemed relaxed and calm when I got home. I would highly recommend Melanie with the experience and sense of responsibility she brings to the work. Thanks Melanie!”

I adhere to the owner’s instructions for their pet’s safety while outdoors.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family had a dog and two cats that were truly part of our family, and I loved caring for them. As a teenager, I often house sat for neighbors with pets, which made me realize even more how much I enjoyed being around animals and taking care of them. Now as an adult, I have two beautiful golden retrievers, Sam and Penny, who bring so much joy to our family. They are spoiled and very loved; my family jokes that I love the dogs more than them sometimes, and honestly, they may not be completely wrong I work a remote job, I am always around for plenty of attention, potty breaks, play time, walks, and most importantly treats! When weather is warm enough we spend a lot of time on the lake. I have two friendly, loving, playful Golden Retrievers who are always looking to make new friends. We enjoy playing daily, taking walks down to the beach, and belly rubs with treats!

About: I'm a 53yr old, active woman who spent 15 years as an Animal Control Officer in my local towns and then with my local Sheriff's office. I've fostered and adopted numerous rescues and am a huge animal advocate. Caring for other people's animals has always been my dream and now I'm doing it. I'm available almost any day at any time. I'm happy to stay with your pets or just stop in for a visit. I do not offer pet sitting in my home as my two rescues do not do well with other dogs. I will adhere to your wants and rules for your animals. I love my pets, and I will treat yours as if they are my own. But I will not do anything, give them anything, or let them do anything you do not approve of.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs cats rabbits and horses ever since I was 10. I’ve cared for new born kittens as well as senior cats at the Humane Society for almost 10 years. And cared for my neighbors’ dogs. From volunteering I’ve learn much about behaviors for both dogs and cats and have discovered I have a talent for working with them. I decided at retiring that I would like to begin in home pet sitting earning a living. I also manage an Airbnb with pets and have had great experiences with both dogs and and cats. I’m available all times but desire at least a week in advance notice. Daily weekly and hourly with breaks when needed for managing my Airbnb. Usually to clean after check out. Also per your needs I will need to have a brief break in the day to drive home to make sure my cats are fed and happy with some play time if I am asked to do overnights. I have 4 cats now. They get fed on special foods on a schedule. When they are eating I clean their cat boxes and when they are finished, I clean their bowls. Before they begin their daily naps , I play with each of them. They range in age from 19 to 1 yr. I also check their water bowls throughout the day or night depending. I can give them treats anytime. I also have learned various medical skills and hope to go back to school for a third degree as a vet tech and if life allows veterinary practice.

About: I've grown up with German Shepard's being bred in my home, have been surrounded and trusted all of my life with pet care from a very young age by friends and family. Have my own dog now, Nahla, who is very loved & well behaved. Depending on the temperament of your dog we can introduce, or your dog and I can have a solo adventure if that's what they'd prefer too! I'm currently available any day of the week, during any daytime hours, and for multiple hour excursions. My work schedule (for the time being) is very flexible, so I am able to create my own hours. I am currently only taking dogs on hikes/ long walks at the moment, no overnight stays. But you can always expect your dog to be taken care of like I would my own when we are in our adventures. My dog is my baby, therefore my #1 responsibility, and you're dog will be treated the same. 💙 You can always expect hikes to: 1. Be close in proximity to emergency vet centers. 2. Always include an emergency first aid kit, including blood stop, and dog safe benadryl incase your pet were to suffer from an allergic reaction to a bee sting or anything else. 3. Have water, food, and treats on stand by. I ask that you provide food, however I will provide treats, unless directed otherwise. Treats are always consciously chosen, the ones I have right now are real duck & turkey treats that are 100% grain free, no fillers, no synthetic colors, or artificial flavors. We can discuss portions that you allow. 4. Have whatever needs your dog might have be 100% into consideration- wether that be pace, different terrain for different agility levels, or medical conditions that limit them. I want your dog coming back feeling satisfied, tired and also proud of themselves. But not overworked or ever in pain / worse condition from when they left. Some dogs can go for miles, Some just for a while- and that's okay! We will also go over the charachter of your dog, and interactions they prefer/ to avoid. If they like kids, socialization, other dogs, ect. If your dog doesn't enjoy socialization then I will find a more secluded trail so it's not over stimulated. My dog prefers old male dogs that are super relaxed and play mildly, so I also understand that finding friends for our pets is sometimes situational and I want to try to find the right fit for your pet so they feel happy and secure in the experience each time. 5. All the love & attention I can wrap up into the length of our hike!
