Dog Walkers in Steep Falls, ME

About: I have been working with dogs and cats professionally since May of 2012 with my primary focus on dog walking. From puppies to seniors, I have walked and pet sat all temperaments and ages of dogs. Additionally, I have a year and a half of basic dog training experience, which also included working with reactive and anxious dogs. Being fluent in dog body language is essential! Subcutaneous injections are also a part of my skill set, as I used to have a diabetic cat that needed insulin injections twice daily as well as a client that needed Adequan injections twice a week. I am available any day of the week for walks and drop ins from about 7am - 8pm. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, I would love to hear from you I have been walking dogs and doing drop ins for cats and dogs professionally for over 13 years. I am now available full time for care in the Standish and Gorham areas. I LOVE my job! Taking care of dogs and cats was my heart’s calling and I’ve never looked back. Getting to know your furry critters and building a trusting, mutually beneficial relationship with them is my favorite thing in the world. Every dog and cat has a unique personality and I enjoy learning what works (and what doesn’t work!) for them and lovingly cater to their specific needs, likes, and dislikes. When caring for dogs in my home, they have constant supervision and are free to roam the living space. This is ideal for dogs with separation anxiety! I will do all walks, outdoor playtimes, and potty breaks on leash, as often as they need. If the dog likes, they will sleep in bed with me and my pug mix!

About: I currently am a stay at home mom with my son who is 7 he does attend school during the week and my daughter who is 4 years old. I currently do not have a dog or cat but do have a bunny who lives inside he is caged though. I worked at a doggie daycare for 8 years until I moved to Connecticut for 3 years. When in Connecticut I pet sat for a family who had 3 dogs, 5 cats, and a turtle. Also cat sat for two other families. I currently walk a Swiss mountain Monday-Friday once a day. I have had to give medication to both dogs and cats so I am comfortable with that as needed. I enjoy spending time hiking and spending time with my family (that includes my four legged baby) I will love and care for your pets as if they were my own! I am home basically all day except when running errands so will be able to spend a great amount of time with your fur baby. We have a large 2 acres yard so plenty of room for running and chasing balls and other toys. Please tell me anything I can do to help make your dog feel as much at home as possible. We are very flexible in doing all that we can to make sure your furbaby is happy and comfortable.

“Kara always does an expectional job when it comes to taking care of Nala! She always goes above and beyond with the updates and pictures. Will definitely use again !”

“Kristen is an amazing dog walker! She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was taken care of while on our week long honeymoon. She walked him, played with him, made sure he had food and water after the walk and when he had an accident, she was so kind to clean it. We can not recommend her enough.”
