Dog Walking Scarborough

About: Hi! I’m Emma, a lifelong animal lover who isn’t ready to adopt a pet of my own right now, but is thrilled to pour all my puppy and kitty love into yours. I grew up with dogs and cats and have experience walking, boarding, and caring for pets of all kinds, from dogs with mobility challenges to cats needing IV care. I currently work at Idexx, so animals are part of my world both professionally and personally. Honestly, I might be getting more out of this than you, because spending time with your furry friend will be the highlight of my day. I work full-time and head into the office three days a week, but I’m happy to stop by before or after my workday, or even during lunch if you’re nearby. As for weekends, I am very open/flexible! In my client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for in their familiar environment. I can walk them around their neighborhood, take them to nearby beaches or nature spots for fresh air and exercise, and spend quality time playing, snuggling, or simply keeping them company. My goal is to match their routine and personality so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll take the time to learn what they enjoy and how they interact with other pets and people, especially if you’d like them to join me on little adventures.

“Alexandra took my request at the last possible minute. I am super grateful for her help!!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something I truly enjoy. I have experience taking care of my own dogs and helping care for family members’ and friends’ dogs as well. I love spending time with pets, whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding them, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. I am currently taking a course on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in the morning. I am available for pet care after 1:00 PM on weekdays and have more flexibility on weekends. I can be flexible with my schedule and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. I always make sure pets are in a safe, comfortable, and calm environment. When caring for a pet in their home, I follow the owner’s instructions and keep their normal routine as much as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care they may need. I am attentive to their behavior and make sure they have plenty of attention and companionship. I also respect the client’s home and keep it clean and secure while I’m there.

About: Hi!! I'm Mia, a student living in Portland, Maine. I grew up with dogs and have cared for family and friends' pets for years, so I'm comfortable with different sizes, energy levels, and routines. I have hands-on experience giving dogs insulin injections, so if your pup is diabetic, I can stick to their schedule and keep an eye on how they're doing. I also have a cat with medical issues of my own, so I understand how much patience and attention a pet with health needs takes. I send photo and text updates after every visit, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. With my current schedule I prefer drop-ins and walks, but I'm open to boarding, house sitting, or anything else you need. • Mon/Wed/Fri: afternoons and evenings (after about 1 PM) • Tue/Thu: lunchtime walks and drop-ins • Sat/Sun: wide open for walks, drop-ins, and overnights But can be flexible Walks and drop-ins (in your home) • I'll go over your pet's routine, feeding, meds, and emergency contacts at a meet-and-greet before the first visit. • Dogs stay leashed on walks, and I use your preferred collar, harness, and route. I don't let them off-leash or approach unfamiliar dogs unless you've okayed it. • I carry waste bags and water, and I'm careful about ice, heat, and busy roads, especially in Portland's winters. • I lock up when I leave, and I never share your address or key details. • I send a photo and text after every visit, and I'll tell you right away if something seems off. • I follow your vet's feeding and medication instructions exactly, and I log doses and times for pets on insulin or other meds.

About: Experienced veterinary technician assistant with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. Skilled in medication administration and comfortable caring for pets of any age or size. I go to school and work a job but I also find myself with lots of free time during the week. I would like to fill that time. I use the necessary precautions in regards to the animals breed, size, age, and weight in order to maintain a healthy environment for the animal.

“She been walking my dogs for about 2 months and they love her so much .”

“Carmen did a great job with our Beagle, Jay-Jay! She responded quickly to a last-minute request, communicated clearly, and gave prompt feedback on the walk. We really appreciated her help, as it made our vacation much more stress-free.”

“Katie is absolutely fantastic. 1st, she was able to accommodate us extremely last minute. She took care of two of our dogs, one of which is very strong and not very good on a leash. Katie was great i'm about community back and forth about anything that she may have had questions about or vice versa. She also went out of her way and helped scoop out our cat's litter and clean up that area that they had made a mess while we were away. She was super sweet to our whole crew and we will 100% be using her again.Thanks Again Katie!!!!”

About: Animals have always been part of my life, and I am currently in a stage where I cannot have my own, so I take care of other peoples for my fix! Spending time with animals bring so much joy and light into my life, I hope I can do the same for them. I am comfortable with dogs in all stages of life. I'm currently working part time at the hospital, and am able to plan out my schedule about a month or two in advance. I am looking for a couple of consistent clients, but if you need help here and there I'm your girl! I treat all animals with respect and love. My highest concern is always the animals safety, I am constantly assessing the situation when I have an animal in my care.

About: I have worked with and cared for dogs all my life, and cats about half. I have trained dozens of dogs, even ones that have been “impossible”. I am a very active person and outside is better than in! Expect to get your pets back tired so you all can rest before you’re back at the grind. I love animals and visitors for my dogs and play partners for my own high energy levels. And as always, smiles and safety first. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I do have strong long leads, one attached to the porch (20feet) and one yard one, with a 250lbs resistant or weight limit, 50 feet long that allows dogs to safely visit and play outside in yard without wondering off. As well, a small empty dog park near by to play ball and “run free” and we frequent other dog parks. Right now I have a full-time job and just looking for a side gig doing something I love on the weekends. I love animals, even the quirky ones. Right now, just working on the weekends I’m available. I do have two small dogs at home that need to play, and love other pets. I can watch them at my home, bring them to the dog park or at your home, if I can bring my dogs with.

About: I’ve never not had a pet in the house! I’ve cared for all kinds of pets over the years, including small dogs, big dogs, elderly dogs, high-energy dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. I’ve also dog-sat for many families and worked as a kennel technician for two years while living in Charleston, giving me plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m currently working part-time as a nanny while I prepare to move, so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I’m looking to fill some of that extra time with something I genuinely love: spending time with and caring for pets! I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home and keep them on their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing!

About: I have pet sat for neighbors, friends and family for six years where I was responsible for walking and feeding their animals. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd and have been walking dogs since I was 10. I am an Elementary School Teacher so I am looking for something part time or full time for the summer months. I am also looking to continue my services when the school year starts in September. I currently have two cats of my own who get along very well with other animals. My parents dog stays with me as well on some weekends. I have a large park near my apartment and my parents dog really enjoys running around there. I am an elementary school teacher, so I will be available mostly full time during the summer months and then I will transition into a part time schedule when school starts back up in the fall. I have two cats of my own, so your pet will have fur friends to play with when/ if they stay at my home. Right next to my home I have a large park that residents take their pets to. I would also love to take your pet to a nearby dog park, that way they can socialize in a safe space!
