Dog Walkers in Searsmont, ME

“So kind and communicative! Will definitely use her again!”

“Alex did great with my dogs! She made time for a meet and greet with them so they would feel comfortable when she came. Loved the updates and photos of their walk. I will be contacting Alex to walk them again in the future!”

“Melissa was great! She walked our two 70lb pit bulls Skye and Blue 4 days in a row. She was great communicating the times she was going to walk them and showing up on time. She sent pictures each walk with the map and distance of the walks. We would definitely hire Melissa again to walk Skye and Blue. Highly recommended!, Thank you Melissa!”

“Coleen is a fantastic dog walker. Our dog Elsa is a very high-maintenance terrier that needs a lot of attention. Coleen has consistently handled her well and Elsa really enjoys going for walks with her. Coleen is very reliable and prompt in her communications, arrives on time and is a total delight to work with. I would highly recommend her.”

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.

“My first experience with having someone in to walk my dog - Laura could not have made things any easier and her comfort in handling animals is very apparent . a huge sense of relief when I realized Dusty would be in great hands when I was not there . I would highly recommend Laura for anyone.”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a little kid and helped my parents at my uncle’s farm. I truly love all animals and enjoy their individual personalities. I have experience dog/house sitting dating back to 2000 in the Camden area. Since we moved last year, I’m looking to meet new clients and help you with your furry loved one in the Waterville area. I worked in animal hospitals in my early 20s so I have a great wealth of knowledge to draw from in many areas (but not exotic pets, as none of the veterinarians I worked with had that as a specialization.) I’m currently working from home doing some freelance work and have many opportunities to go for walkies. We are currently without a dog in our home, and I’m looking to get out more. Any pet I take care of is treated as if they’re a member of the family. I believe in spoiling pets with love, but keeping the boundaries of the owner so as not to undo any training. Reinforcing good behavior is always a priority.

“Gillian saved the day when my plans fell through. Thank you for the help!”

“Chyna did a wonderful job with the dogs!”

“Geoffery is a very kind and gentle pet care taker. His empathy for animals is unmatched and that makes me trust him with any of my pets. My pets are very happy in his care and when they return home!”

“Candi spent many years as a trusted and capable animal control officer for our county. That experience alone would make her a AAA petsitter with both the technical skills to care for animals and basic medical concerns/injuries. She fine-tuned those skills and developed a true "sense" with pets, particularly since many of those type of interactions find pets in stressed situations, where their behavior isn't always predictable. Candi managed all of these unique opportunities with grace, confidence and care. Her training aside, Candi is a treasured friend, whom I've trusted with my own pets over several decades, and recommend her without hesitation! Your furbabies will be in the very best hands.”

“Michaela is a dog lover. She has 3 dogs at home and often cares for them by walking, feeding, and letting them out. She is a very responsible individual who will care for your pet like it's her own!”

“I had great experience with Bry while I was working a long shift. She’s great with animals and did everything I asked. Highly recommended! :)”

About: I provide one-on-one, personalized care, ensuring each pet gets the attention and love they deserve. I have experience with senior pets, dogs with anxiety, and those with special medical or dietary needs. I send daily updates with pictures, so you’re always in the loop about how your pet is doing. I offer flexible scheduling and last-minute bookings, and I’m always reliable—your pet’s care comes first. For active dogs, I can offer long walks, hiking trips, and plenty of playtime, ensuring they’re exercised and entertained. I am self employed and manage my day to day schedule with lots of flexibility. I am happy to coordinate my schedule to accommodate you and your pet's needs! When caring for pets in either my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment that caters to each pet’s specific needs. My home is fully pet-proofed and provides cozy spaces for lounging, sleeping, and playing. I ensure that pets have access to toys, beds, and safe areas to explore. I follow the pet's regular feeding and potty schedules to keep their routine consistent. I take time to learn about their habits to make them feel at home. Depending on the pet’s needs, I offer regular walks, backyard play, or indoor activities to ensure they stay active and happy. If the pet is anxious or shy, I provide a quiet space to relax and make sure they feel secure with gradual introductions to new surroundings. In your home I maintain the pet’s normal routine, from feeding and walks to playtime and bathroom breaks. I ensure their home is kept tidy and comfortable for both them and the pet parent. Many pets feel more secure in their familiar environment. I take care to create a calm atmosphere by minimizing disruptions and ensuring they have their favorite toys, bed, and comfort items. I offer tailored care based on the pet’s unique needs, whether that’s medication, specific diets, or behavioral routines. Just like in my home care, I update the client regularly with pictures and reports, ensuring they are always in the loop.

“Rachel is one of the most caring people in the world with animals. Not only has she taken in animals no one else cared for, she’s gone above and beyond for the animals in her life that aren’t even hers”

“I have never met anyone who loves dogs more than Theresa. I’m not kidding. The love and care that she gives her own dogs has always been paramount and a true testament of how much she cares for the emotional and physical well-being of our four-legged friends. I would not trust anyone more than her to care for my animals.”

About: I am a service dog handler for the past 7 years. I have been training and caring for dogs for over 10 years. I'm the go to person in my friends and family for training and care advice of animals big and small. I have owned and cared for everything from small snakes to rodents and horses. I have worked as a dog trainer, a horse trainer, a groom, and I have worked on dairy farms since I was 14. Every morning starts out with letting the dogs out and farm chores. Followed by breakfast for the dogs. After breakfast we do 30 minutes of rest in kennels while I feed the family. The rest of the day is spent with enrichment toys and puzzle games. Training is spaced out throughtout the day in 10-15 minute sessions. At 8pm the dogs are let out on last time then kennel and dinner time for the night. Our dogs are friendly and out going. We live in a very rural area on 81 acres of hiking trails and farm land to explore. The dogs are always watched when outside. We do have a wireless fence system for dogs that are trained on the e collar and long lines for dogs that are not off leash trained. We have experience crate and rotating dogs with aggression/reactivity problems. I have rehabilitated and socialized dogs with traumatic past.

About: I've lived in a house with dogs my entire life and have been the father to an energetic, adventurous black lab for 4 years now. She gets along great with other dogs and always welcomes new furry friends. We look forward to hosting your pup soon! I work from home full-time so can tend to your dog throughout the day and will happily accept your dog for the night after 3pm on weekdays. We are flexible and keep things fun, we enjoy going on hikes, swimming in ponds and rolling around the backyard. I have a super friendly 4 years old black lab mix who will warm the heart of your beloved pup. Our home is theirs too and they will sure feel that way.

About: I am a young adult who has a passion for working with animals. I have had pets my entire life and recently got my own puppy, whom I’ve been working with. I would love to work with your animals as well and get more experience. This is my passion and a talent that I would love to develop. I am looking to get a career in working with animals and would love the experience. I have a part-time job, but it is very flexible so I pretty much have all availability. I will be available most days as long as scheduled ahead of time. I live in a large field away from roads, and I have a dog friendly puppy and the ability to crate dogs if they need space apart. I will abide by the clients wishes how they would like me to care for their pets.

“Claudia is a wonderful caregiver. She is sweet and kind to all sorts of animals, and knows how to treat them well. She has her own pets, so she also has a great understanding of any behavior and body language that pets may give off. Claudia is very responsible and will make sure that your pet is loved and treated right!”
