Dog Walkers in Strong, ME

“Eliot is now our go-to! She is fantastic - great communication, thoughtful text updates and photos for each walk, checks on our pup’s water and food levels when she stops in, and changes up the walking route each time she takes out our pup to keep him interested. Our dog is always happy and content after his walks with Eliot. We feel so lucky! Thank you Eliot!”

About: I have worked in the veterinary field for about 3 years. I went to school and became a Certified Veterinary Assistant. I am also Pet CPR Certifed. I have my own pet/house sitting business and offer feline grooming! I work full time but am able to pet sit every night, on weekends and do checks on pets during the day, sometimes multiple times a day. Your pets will get lots of play time, go on walks, and get lots of attention. I do like to relax with them and just hang out as well, depending on the pet.

“Recently Aleisha did dog walking, check ins for over a 6 week period. She did house sitting for us over a five day trip and found her to be extremely responsible and responsive to all of our two dogs needs. One of our dogs has extreme separation anxiety and is very timid and has difficulty trusting new people. Aleisha came for dog walks a few weeks before our trip and gained Sadie's' trust over that period. While we were away, Sadie accepted Aleisha wholeheartedly. Upon our return, the dogs were excited but very calm and at ease – a real departure from other vacation experiences. Aleisha also spent several nights at our home house sitting. Again we found her to be a true pro and very reliable and respectful. We would have no problem using her again and would recommend her services to anyone who would ask. As a matter of fact, we will be using Aleisha for occasional walks to keep in touch with Sadie and keep their bonds intact. Just such a pleasure to have someone as reliable and trustworthy for both us and our pets.”

About: With over 3 years of professional pet sitting experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—including puppies, senior pets, and those with special routines. I’m not just a sitter—I’m your pet’s second best friend while you’re away. What sets me apart is the level of personalized care I provide, my strong communication with pet parents, and my flexibility to adapt to each pet’s unique habits and energy levels. I work full-time as a pet sitter, so your pet’s well-being and routine are my top priority. I’m experienced with multi-pet households, large breed dogs, and high-energy pups that need extra playtime. I also offer overnight stays with discounted rates for multiple pets, and I’m happy to discuss custom bundles based on your needs—whether it’s a weekend getaway or a longer trip. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, communicates consistently, and treats your pets like family—I’d love to help. Pet care is a big part of my daily life—I’m a full-time sitter, so my schedule revolves around the pets I care for. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets the attention and consistency they’re used to. I also block off time for overnight stays and am available on weekends and holidays with advance notice. Since this is my primary focus, I’m flexible and responsive, making it easy to accommodate custom routines or last-minute bookings when needed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my client’s home or stopping in for visits, I treat every space with the same respect and attention I would expect for my own. I make it a priority to stick closely to each pet’s routine so they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I maintain a calm, clean environment, follow all feeding, potty, and medication instructions closely, and always double-check doors, gates, and locks. I’m mindful of each pet’s comfort level and body language, especially when it comes to shy or energetic pets, and I adjust my approach to match what they need—whether it’s quiet company, active play, or just a little extra patience. For overnight stays, I create a peaceful and familiar atmosphere by keeping to your pet’s bedtime routine, favorite toys, and walking routes. I also provide regular updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I know dogs need exercise, discipline, and affection. I know it can be challenging to find the right pet care that is trustworthy and reliable. I’ll do my best to give your pet the care they need! I am a massage therapist for part of the week and I homeschool my children when I’m not working. My schedule is somewhat flexible and I have extra time to fill here and there with pet care. I will feed, walk, or give your animals attention based on clients request and animals requirements. Whether it’s In the yard, taking them for a walk or just sitting petting them, I’ll give them what they need.

About: I have been taking care of animals for friends and family since I was a teenager and have always loved it! I am able to give insulin to dogs or cats as well as other medications! I am well versed in dogs of all ages as well as temperaments. I am in the process of learning grooming so can do basic grooms, not currently taking full grooms. I worked for a pet care business for well over a year, so have experience with multiple environments and circumstances! I currently work full time but I have an hour long lunch break and availability before and after work, as well as weekends! My mother takes care of my pets when I’m not home so it’s nice to get out and help other pet owners. I have lots of experience with all types of animals so I am comfortable with almost anything. I like to do my best to keep your pets routine as stable as possible to make the transition less stressful while you’re away from home.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 15 mostly for my moms coworkers and family members who were going on trips. I would stay overnight for them and watch over their pets. I've fed, watched, bathed, and walked their pets for a day or overnight at times as well. I'm currently working part time but only work on Tuesdays from 3:30-5 as of right now. My classes end relatively early but also start later depending on the day so early/mid-day/evening walks/visits are very flexible with my classes and work schedule. I need another source of income and LOVE dogs :) I will give your pet 100% of my attention the entire time I am at your home. I will take them on walks if you request me to and I will play with them until they fall asleep. I will give your dog as much love and care as I would give my own.

About: My love for animals began at a very young age on my family's tropical farm. In fact, my first pet was a monkey, named Pancho. Since my formative years, I have loved and cared for a variety of animals including, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, parakeets, hamsters and more. I have dedicated my entire life to caring for living creatures, and I am looking forward to offering exceptional care to your pet by demonstrating my superior skills. I have been known as an animal whisperer among family and friends, and I am excited to provide superb care for your furry (or scaly) family member. I am available 7 days a week from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm. Additionally, I can provide OVERNIGHT SERVICES for appropriate compensation, the same goes for distance.

About: I love hosting dogs at my Airbnb. Perhaps because of my good, calm energy with pets. No matter how old, big or small , they love me! They are often quickly accepting of my presence. I lost my charming standard poodle named Skeeter 2 yrs ago to cancer, so I miss giving my love to them. I am always looking forward to walks, drives & hikes and it would be nice to have a companion while doing so. I grew up owning an energetic black lab, silly golden retriever and dainty white shepherd. In my adult life I had two Dobermans and a standard poodle. My childhood home always had a pet or a dog - the dog always went to work on construction with my dad! I work part time and have plenty of time to love your pets. My schedule is flexible thru out the year. I often travel with my Trusted house sitter app. We have a large private yard far from the road for pets to enjoy wandering about sniffing for rodents among the blueberry bushes and grassy knolls.

About: I’ve worked at 2 doggy daycares in the last few years where we did boarding. I’ve also worked in a cat boarding facility and have worked at pet stores for about 5-6 years. I was trusted with cleaning up after and giving medications to pets that needed it. I’m currently working part time in Freeport so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets and spend time with them and take them on walks depending on weather. I live in a wooded area with access to tie outs so your pets and I could sit outside on good days and play. I have an extra room in the house where I can easily board your pet but would require you to bring a crate if they’re crate trained depending on the size of the pet. I do have two crates available that I could use if you’re unable to bring their crate. I have 2 cats in the household along with my fiance so they would have to be cat and man friendly.

About: Experience with both senior cats/dogs and young cats and dogs. Currently own a senior dog (medium), but I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I currently work as a vet assistant weekends, and sometimes have class during the week. Best thing to do is reach out and see when I am available! I appreciate information about your animals routine (wether they are crated at night, times they usually go out, high enery, low energy, feeding schedule, and other things that will allow me to give the most thorough care I can) so I can properly care for them. Also please give me a heads up about food or toy aggression before hand (it doesn't necessarily mean I'll deny service I just want to be warned so I can be extra cautious)

“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!”

About: I grew up with multiple large dogs, and I have been taking care of them since I was little. I can groom (no teeth or nails, just brush and bath) and walk, feed and give medication. I can train and take care of puppies, and I have experience taking care of senior dogs. I raised my Saint Bernard from a puppy, and took care of her until her death from cancer in early 2024. Now I have a Newfoundland, and not only do we go on multiple walks a day but we also work on training, and play with toys. I also have experience working with reactive dogs. Idk man. I love dogs. I love taking care of dogs. I can also recommend a really good dog trainer if you need one. I am a field hockey coach and I am also working in an internship, but other than that I am free this summer for morning and day visits. My dog Mortimer is my favorite responsibility, and I know I will love the dogs I get to meet and take care of. Mortimer and I love going for walks and playing with big squeaky toys. He is such a snuggler and enjoys looking out the window of my house or car.

About: I've been in contact with dogs as long as I've been walking and talking. My parents always had a pack of 4 running around the house and my brothers and I were frequently helping out with feeding, walking, etc. I used to spend a lot of my weekends with my mom’s poodle, trimming his unruly coat! I also have owned rats, fish and cats, and am comfortable caring for them, as well as birds. Just let me know if you have a smaller critter that needs some care! I have experience with farm animals such as horses and chickens, and am happy to watch goats, cows, you name it!! I work a remote job from home as a Peer Support Specialist, so while dog sitting, I can remain in your home all day to watch over your pets! I clicker train my dog Artemis and have mini training sessions everyday with her. I'm more than happy to include your dog if you let me know what you'd like to work on. I also have experience with reactive dogs, as my late mastiff mix came into my care with an extreme case of stranger reactivity that I managed. So, if your pup is timid or shy, I will for sure still take them on and give them the best experience catering to their specific fears. I know owning a reactive dog can be isolating and stressful. Let me take some of that stress away by being understanding of your pups and their needs! I’m more than happy to arrange meet and greets to discuss fido’s specific needs and let them get used to my presence. Understanding and listening is important in managing reactivity, and I’m more than happy to be that person!
