Dog Walkers in Steep Falls, ME

About: I have been pet sitting for about 11 years now! I haven’t met a dog or a cat that I have not been able to win over. I have experience in grooming and dog training along with above average knowledge on animal nutrition! These experiences have allowed me to interact comfortably with cats and dogs of all different sizes and ages. I am fluent in animal body language and will go at the pace of your pet! I am currently working full-time and have two days off a week. This is why my availability is only for Thursdays & Saturday as those are my usual days off! If caring for your dog at my house, while outside they will need to be on a leash as our yard is not fenced in. If caring for pets in your home I will ensure a leash is used for walking at all times.

“Kara was a huge help when we had a last minute need for someone to come by in the middle of the day to care for our dog, Tucker. Tucker loved her right away and had a great time playing with Kara each day. We'll definitely work with Kara again!”

About: *Please note my profile had been deactivated from 2019 to October 2025 while I built my family and had children, so you will not see any reviews during that time. I have taken care of a few dogs and cats in that time when it worked around my kids schedule and am happy to provide those references if you wish. If you want your dog to have the best care possible, then look no further! I have over 15 years experience working with animals. I grew up on a horse farm in rural Maine and have been around animals my whole life. In addition to owning two dogs of my own, I have fostered dogs and puppies for years and know how to handle all sorts of situations and types of dogs from seperation anxiety, high energy, senior dogs to puppies. Every dog is unique and I will always cater to the each dogs individual needs and I will always adhere to your instructions. Please feel free to contact me to discuss my services and qualifications. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! *Don’t be afraid to ask me about custom reduced pricing for shorter visits, etc.* I work from home with a very flexible work schedule so I am available to care for your pets at all times for boarding or stop in for visits at most any time during the day I have a large fenced yard and a very friendly yellow lab who loves to play with others. All animals in our house are considered part of the family and I will take care of your pets as if they were mine.

“Kyla was kind, attentive, and had great communication. She helped out last minute to care for my dad's pup. We're grateful. Our pup was happily tired after her walk.”

“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.”

Monica V.

“Thank You so much for helping me out with walking my boys on a short notice. I greatly appreciate you taking such great care of them!”

About: I’ve volunteered at the San Diego animal shelter and taken trainer courses to become certified to meet their standards. I’ve fed, bathed, walked, played and socialized with all kinds of dogs big small hyper calm young and old! I love them all! In my travels on the road I would find time to visit the local animal shelters and walk some of their dogs! If I ever see a stray or even a question in doubt about a dog I will try and find it it’s owner/home or bring it to safety. I can handle all types of dogs and love to see them happy and comfortable!! After all they are our babies!! Navy veteran, mother of two wonderful children and a small amazing Cavapoo! I have Friday through Sunday available can even take an over night on the occasional Thursday! Looking forward to meeting you and your pup 🐶 I have a large covered porch for bird watching for the peaceful environment but outback in the private backyard the pups can explore and let their hair down!! I will walk the perimeter of my property multiple times a day! A 10x10 kennel and ground stakes with leads for pups to stay tied to! There are walking trails within walking distance of property lots of good adventures await!! Will feed when requested with the food provided and constant and endless water supplied in more than one location!!! Hydrated dogs are happy dogs!!Your dog will be right at home away from home. Well mannered pups will be loose in the house. Have rooms with large enough space to separate dogs too if there is ever a concern for anyone’s safety. Please bring: harness, collar and leash, dog food and bowls. Special medication if any required. For comfort please bring their crates if they love them and bed or blankets a toy or two and a pillowcase or shirt that smells like mamma or dad so they know you are always near!!

“Heather stepped up last minute when I was frantic about how to get a dog walker in a new town! She has been amazing for the past 6 visits. Zeus loves spending time with her and I’m happy to have someone reliable and helpful.”

About: I have at least two years of experience working in Emergency Veterinary Medicine, where I've been trained to take all dogs of any size or behavior for walks and care for them during their stay at the hospital. I own a large pup myself, so size doesn't scare me! I'm a great communicator, very responsible, and love each and every pup (or kitty!). I am typically more available to work in the early mornings or mid-afternoons, but I'm flexible and can work whenever if given a day heads up! I would love to take your fur baby for a walk, long or short! I can also work with dogs that aren’t leash trained, or tend to pull on their leash, as I have experience with all dogs. I'm also comfortable playing with your dog indoors for additional stimulation on rainy or snowy days, especially if they are senior pups!

“Nicolette is the best! I used her as my regular dog walker during my long work shifts and would highly recommend her. She took great care of my dog, always taking him on great walks. She gives the best Rover report cards with great photos and excellent communication. I’m only in Maine for a short period of time, but will definitely use her again if we are ever back in town.”

About: I have a human-reactive 3 year old dog so I am very aware of anxious/reactive behaviors. I have lived with at least dog one for the last 6 years so taking care of dogs (mine or someone else’s) is something I’m very comfortable doing and I enjoy it! If it's nice outside, I love taking them outside to play fetch or even just lay around in the grass. My goal is for your dog to be entertained while you're gone so they'll be happy, tired, and excited to see you when you get home. If you'd like anything specific done, I’m happy to make sure any requests are accommodated. I am fully vaccinated. I’m able to work from anywhere during the week so I can drop in during the day if your pet is needing some mid day exercise or just a potty break. I have experience with raising my own puppy so I have no problem keeping both eyes on them 100% of the time. If they like their space, I’m happy to give them that as well. I’ll make sure to keep them on the same routine they’re used to and follow any specific instructions you provide.

“Nicole is great with my dogs!”

About: I grew up on a farm where I was surrounded by large animals like cattle and horses, which gave me a deep appreciation for working with animals from a young age. My passion for animal care led me to become a veterinary technician, where I spent several years working in a large animal hospital. During this time, I gained extensive experience handling various animals, assisting in surgeries, administering medications, and providing routine care. I also have a 8 year-old German Shepherd named Nala. These experiences have strengthened my skills in animal health and care, and I truly enjoy working with animals of all sizes. Currently work part time so I have plenty of time for your pup/animal! I am very flexible and will do my best to accommodate yours and your animals needs Will love on your pet like my own ! It truly is fun to spend time with different animals and if I could have more than 1 dog I would personally!

“Megg helped us out last minute and we really appreciate it!”
