Dog Walkers in Walpole, ME

“Berenice (Nice) has been a wonderful pet sitter/walker on many different occasions for our two dogs - a large 2-year-old German Shepherd-Malamute mix (Loki) and a medium sized 1-year-old hound-collie-Shepherd mix (Storm). These dogs are a handful, yet Nice was always calm, friendly yet firm with the dogs, and they were very quick to warm up to her--even Loki, who has some fear and anxiety issues. It was clear from the start that Nice loves dogs--and that they respond very positively and comfortably to her. Nice was also extremely responsible and reliable; she always communicated with us about her availability and her plans, sent us useful updates and photos, and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. She was also very quick to let us know if there was anything amiss--for example, when Loki started limping or when one of them didn't eat their food. We completely trusted Nice with our dogs and she's one of the first people we reach out to when we need a dog sitter/walker. I highly recommend Nice for your pet sitting and walking needs!”

“Colleen is great with our pets. She has a calming demeanor that puts everyone at ease (even us, the nervous pet moms). We are happy we found Colleen!”

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was a kid! I've always had dogs and cats! I had a golden retriever as my childhood dog and miss her everyday. My first memory of her was coming home from Massachusetts where we adopted her and as we pulled in to our driveway and she got sick in my lap! Ever since that day I knew she was my dog. I learned responsibility from taking care of her. We also had several cats so I'm happy to take care of any animal you may have! I'm patient, engaging and ready to love your pets! My husband is allergic to dogs so I decided to sign up for rover to live out my dream of having a dog! I get to stay with some pretty amazing pets and I am excited to hopefully meet yours! We have 3 amazing cats- Frank, Charlie and Mimzi. My wonderful husband stays home with them while I am tending to clients animals if I am booked for any house sittings. Our childhood dog had some health issues, and I do have experience giving dogs antibiotics through food distribution. In addition to this, one of my senior cats has asthma and is on a daily inhaler that we give. I work as a retail manager in downtown Freeport & work in Pottland. I work between the hours of 10-6pm. I can be available in the morning, evening and perhaps can take a lunch break to walk dogs if the distance is close in proximity to my work! I currently don't have a busy schedule! I am also open to over night pet sitting! My animals are like my kids. We are a young couple that decided not to have kids, and we give our cats a comfortable life! I would look after a clients pet the same way I look after mine. My cats are very social and require a lot of human interaction (which is absolutely amazing!!) I would treat your animals just as I do mine with the love, care and respect they deserve! My cats are indoor due to the busy street we live on! We used a gate in our entry way to ensure our cats stay indoors. I am committed to making sure your pets are safe and in the comfort of their home! We ensure our cats are up to date on all vaccines, health checkups through vet at your door (highly recommend them!)

About: Price Lock: Your base rate will remain the same even if my prices increase in the future! Availability: Mondays and Sundays are available upon request I've had dogs in my family my whole life and have been an active caretaker for family, friends, and acquaintances since I was a teen. I've lived and worked with puppies and seniors, even special needs dogs. I'm comfortable with all breeds and varieties, whatever shape or form, high or low energy, timid or bold. I just love dogs! I treat every one I meet as if they are my own, and cater to each individual dog's personality and needs, even if they require extra TLC. When I'm with your dog(s), they are my top priority and focus. I have my own vehicle and other than health and family commitments, my schedule is open and flexible. All animals I spend time with I treat as if they were a part of my family, making sure they are safe, content, and their needs are met. Your property will also be treated with the same reverence and respect.

“Annette was great.”

“I can’t think of a more perfect dog sitter than Carol Ortlip. No matter the size, breed, temperament, she somehow is able to burrow into their canine psyche and discover just what it is the particular dog needs. She is very much an outdoorsy person, so long walks and hikes are always in the mix. Smaller, shyer dogs can sit comfortably with her, she can be both exuberant and intimate. She has sat for 3 of our dogs over the years, up to weeks in length, and whenever we come home and she departs, I know I am a disappointment in comparison. You can’t go wrong with CO!”

“Annaliese is amazing with our two older dogs, our younger pup and our two cats. She is a loving care taker, an excellent communicator and on several occasions has gone above and beyond for us. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring pet sitter!”

“Neila has always been great with my cranky and temperamental beagle mix! She is reliable, trustworthy, and has years of experience with animals - I would absolutely recommend her for any dogsitting job.”

“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.”

“Carol has a passion for all animals. I have known her for about 20 years. She has had several dogs that she has owned and I have trusted my dog with her whole on vacations and found that she not only took care of him like her own but my dog loved going to visit her home after. She would take care of any dog and ensure that your pet is in the best of care at all times.”

“Thanks Carolyn !! Franklin the cat loves the way you take care of him !! Appreciate your time while we get away ! Thank You !!”

“Haleigh is prompt and has great communication. My dog is enjoying his walks!”

“Bonnie is the sweetest dog mom and has helped me with my fur babes on several occasions while I’m traveling. Very reliable and loving. I highly recommend her!”

“Kristin is wonderful! Mia loves her so much! I no longer have to worry about her when I know Kristin will be going to see her. It’s been such a relief to find her! Have already recommended her to friends and coworkers. Thank you Kristin for taking such amazing care of my girl!! ❤️”

“We are so grateful to have found Sarah! She has been lovely to work with, incredibly reliable, and always impeccably on time when it comes to our walking schedule. We had just welcomed a new puppy to our very busy and active family and Sarah was so flexible and kind as we figured out a routine that worked just right for our little pup. She sends me honest and genuine updates on how Tiva did that day as well as any concerns that come up that she thinks I should know about. I always come home to a clearly exercised and happy dog. Could not recommend enough :)”

“Sabrina was great… she spent time playing with Mack and was very responsive.”

About: As an energy worker in the field of the healing arts, I have a strong connection with animals. They are our allies, healers, teachers, and beloved family. I have always had multiple pets living in my home at any given time since birth so I always love animals around me. As an animal and plant person by Nature, I “speak their language” and make it a priority and joy to tune in with their needs and just be together, sharing space and enjoying life in any given moment. When at home I am quiet, peaceful, tidy and neat. I believe that being a strong loving presence wherever we are is our purpose in Life and I appreciate to always leave the spaces I visit better than I found it. Your pets and home will be well taken care of, at ease, and loved with me by the grace of God. I have somewhat of a green thumb (I have been studying, learning, and practicing year by year) and am an aspiring herb & food grower, forager, folk herbalist, and novice yet passionate baker. I have some homestead experience (horses, chickens, gardens, willing to learn livestock care as well) and have also had reptilian pets in the past, open to snakes, birds, dragons, rodents, fish, you name it. If we agree it’s a good match and I’m taking care of your home, just tell me what you want & need taken care of and I’ll do whatever I can to make sure you come home to a happy and comfortable home, almost like you never left! Rover is fun too because you never know who you’re going to meet! I am open to all kind and loving humans and animals, and I do not discriminate in any manner. As long as you have good virtues and love life and all around you to the fullest, I’m sure it will be a good match and will be an honor to support each other. At this phase in my life I wear many hats, including pet & home sitter, homeschool teacher, online educator and student. I also have a job online where I can work remotely during the week, so this allows me the ability to create my own schedule and work where ever I am. So, for now pet sitting fits right in and is a perfect compliment to my lifestyle and goals. Where I’d typically be working from my home taking care of my pets, home, and land, my partner can take care of ours while I take care of yours, and then I also get to make and save a little extra $ towards the first home fund! So, as long as I have internet access I can work from anywhere, making me very flexible for your pet’s specific needs. In your home I will follow your instructions and duplicate however you care for your pet & home. You tell me! I love going on walks and am as adventurous as your pet (dog loves a walk on the beach? Jump in let’s go! But if they’d rather stay home and snuggle that’s great too). 😊

About: I’ve owned and cared for pets since I was a child. I cannot imagine not having pets, as I’ve never been without one. I currently have 4 dogs and 2 cats. Over the years I have adopted many rescue animals from unfortunate circumstances. I have helped many that I’ve adopted through anxiety, behavior and trust issues. I have a very soft, gentle demeanor, and find being around pets so therapeutic. I’m currently trying to transition from my current position to something I could enjoy as much as caring for animals. If I can find myself busy enough, I would have the flexibility to become available as often as needed. I have a 4 acre property and pets of my own. My property is not fenced currently, however I have a great rural road/area to walk and explore safely while leashed. I can of course kennel if needed, I have a large indoor space as well.

“Tyler is very caring and committed to the care of animals. He has two dogs which he has raised on his own. He has shown himself to be very attentive to there needs, taking them for frequent walks, providing the most nutritious food available (often making extra whole food/meat selections and prepping on his own to supplement needs). He has a kind heart, and is a very nurturing individual. He is dependable, and I would highly recommend him. He has been a blessing to me and my dog Khloe 🐶”

“Grace is a loyal and caring person who has a love for all dogs she meets. I have known grace for over 20 years and trust her with my own pups. She is trustworthy and responsible when it comes to others pets. She knows every pet is unique and they each have a special bond with there owner. All dogs she meets love her instantly. Grace grew up with all varieties of dogs such as pugs, goldens, mastiffs, and flat coats she has experience in small all the way up to extra large dogs as well as all varying temperaments. I would highly recommend Grace as a care taker for your pup! She’s a great person to have care for your best friend.”
