Dog Walkers in York Heights, ME

About: Pet loving family with two adults who work from home and have a fenced in yard. We are about half a mile from a dog friendly beach. Happy to take dogs and give them a little oceanside retreat 😃 Dogs can go in and out as they please into our fenced in yard. Happy to take them on walks down to the beach if that is desired. We work from home so your animal will have plenty of company throughout the day. We do not have any other dogs or cats in our home.

“Nicholas did a great job with my dog Cody while I was away for a long weekendI had Nicholas come once a day for a long walk with Cody because my mom was alone with the dog all day and it gave her a break from duties and got some of his puppy energy out! I love the pictures he sent to let me know Cody was doing ok.”

About: I have been a go-to resource for friends, neighbors, and family as they have embarked on travels, long work days, or on an as-needed basis! I work throughout the school year, and have summers off. So please reach out, as we will be able to accommodate your schedule! We can determine it on a set schedule or an as-needed basis. Owning a dog and being a pet lover, I understand the care that individuals expect out of someone taking care of their furry friend. I will care for your dog the same way I do mine.

About: Hi there! I’m Enzo, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for all kinds of pets—dogs (from energetic puppies to laid-back seniors), cats, farm animals, and even reptiles. I love making sure every animal gets the attention and care they deserve! I’m also the proud owner of my dog, Vito! We stay active with hikes, mountain biking, training sessions, and plenty of other outdoor adventures. If your dog loves exploring, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise and stimulation! I also offer leash training as a service, so pups can have fun while learning good habits. And if your pet prefers a slower pace, I’m just as happy providing calm walks and relaxed companionship. Whether it’s a walk through the neighborhood, an adventure in the woods, or a home visit, your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities! I take the time to earn their trust and always treat them with respect, so they feel comfortable, confident, and cared for while you’re away! I can be very flexible and accommodating for your pets needs, whether it's daily visits, overnight stays, or midday walks. Let me know your pet's routine and I'll be happy to accommodate! Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities! I create a loving, calm, and comfortable environment where they can feel safe and cared for. I’ll take the time to earn their trust, respect their personality, and make sure every walk or visit is fun, relaxing, and stress-free!

“So glad to have Deb as our walker! She is very professional, trustworthy, friendly, great communication and our pugs love her!”

About: Hi! I'm Marena—a lifelong animal lover and caretaker. I began dog and cat sitting at a very young age, and actively volunteering for animal rescues and farm sanctuaries in 2016. From socializing shelter puppies to shearing sheep, administering medication to llamas, and filing pig tusks, I've loved it all! I enjoy getting to know all sorts of personalities—from the active and boisterous, to the more reserved or anxious—my awareness of animal behavior allows me to provide the most positive and comfortable experience for your pet. In my free time I love bringing my dog, Lucy, for long walks on the beach (her favorite!) and exploring the outdoors. I'm currently a volunteer at the Maine State Society for the Protection of Animals, and a member of the Animal Rescue Team for the Humane Society of the United States. I have experience in pet first aid/CPR, basic obedience training, canine enrichment (agility work, nose work), and emergency response. I earned a certificate in Large Animal Emergency Rescue in June 2023 and am currently working toward certification in the Masterson Method of equine bodywork to relieve stress and tension in horses. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your animals! Thank you! I’m currently a freelance graphic designer/creative strategist and am generally available on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Mondays and Wednesdays are possibilities if given enough notice. Before booking a new client, I request that we schedule an in-person meet and greet. This makes it easier to build trust, as not all animals are instantly at ease with an unfamiliar person in their home. It also helps me learn specific details pertaining to my visit. I try to match your pet's routine as best as possible. This means learning what time they're used to eating, what their favorite activities or toys are, and any other preferences they may have. Overall, I strive to care for clients' pets as I do my own animals. This means lots of love, pictures, and regular updates to ensure you know how they're doing. And, as a guest in your home, I promise to leave everything as orderly and clean as it was when I arrived!

“Willow is a little hesitant with new people but Patrick took the time to gain her trust. I appreciate the photos and updates after each visit and he was on board with all of willows needs!”

“Kristen was great with the pups, kind and caring, but they aren't quite ready for a dog walker- gonna take some time to get these rescues ready for other people to watch them:)”

About: I've always had a natural connection with dogs since childhood. Dogs have always gravitated to my calm energy and ability to sense their needs. Your dog will not just be taken care of but will feel safe like they're spending time with an old friend. Retired computer nerd and musician available for dog walking and house visits most days of the week. Some dogs are welcome in our home with fenced in yard and 5 y.o. yellow lab Norma for playtime and companionship. My wife and I live in a wooded area in York with a large fenced in back yard. We are both retired and home most of the day to keep an eye on the pups. I am available for long or short visits to your home for dog walks and exercise to suite your needs. I am an avid walker and walk daily. I am fully insured with pet sitting/walking insurance.

About: I am confident with all types of animals. I have taken care of donkeys, pigs, sheep, goats, cats, dogs, horses, and chickens. I had a horse donkey and goat for five years. I also have worked at a horse barn for four years. I have dog sit before for friends and family. I have a dog named Charlie. He's a British cream golden retriever and he gets along with all pets. I enjoy dog walking, and dog sitting. I am a senior in high school so I can either have dogs at my house or I can go before school and right after school and dinner time to take care of the dog/dogs. I have a huge backyard and I love walking dogs. I don't mind either staying at someone's house and taking care of their dog or it coming to me.

About: I have grown up with dogs in my house, from both a rescue and puppy age. My neighbors have relied on me to take care of their dogs, both staying overnight and taking them on walks. I am a recent college graduate, spending my summer applying to jobs, so I have a lot of free time that can be spent taking care of your animals! I will follow however you’d like to keep your animals safe! Taking care of an animals doesn’t just mean feeding and walking them, I love to cuddle and play with them too!

“Martha is great and very accomodating. The dogs enjoy their time with her.”

About: I have been dog sitting for others for 4 years now and have had cats and dogs most of my life! I am an avid pet lover and love helping out pet parents care for their fur babies. I have trained basic skills, potty trained and crate trained dogs. I am no longer offering boarding or house sitting as I have a new needy roommate, (pictured on my profile) Daisy 🌼 I am a recent graduate student and work part time in the mental health field. My schedule is fairly flexible and I am able to be home often if needed for a pet. I am a good fit for dogs/cats that are able to manage 6 hours alone for days I have to work! I offer a quiet and patient presence for your pets! I will accommodate your pets needs whether that’s lots of snuggles or just a person to check in. Every pet has their own personality and I completely understand any accommodations or activities your pet needs.

“Cody was wonderful with our elderly dog, Amelia. So kind and thoughtful, ready to research our particular issues. I highly recommend her, and I will be sure to remember her if I need help in the future. Thank you Cody!! Lisa A.”

About: Hi! my name is Ally! I have grown up with dogs my whole life, from Dalmatians to Jack Russell’s. I started volunteering at the NHSPCA in high school and discovered my love for helping & animals. I am a registered nurse and looking to fuel my hobby spending time with animals. I currently work full time in Dover, NH and bring my dog Poppy into the office with me. My family had a 12 year old blind Jack Russell named Sherman who was not friendly to other animals while we were growing up, so I am used to dogs on the more complicated side. I believe every animal deserves love and attention and I hope to provide that! My schedule is flexible on the weekends. I work full time but am home by 5pm so ai can do evenings as well. I love to keep animals in their routines. Even if it’s just being with them at home. I am a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter who cares a considerable amount for all animals. I will happily care for them like my own.

“Tati is an excellent dog walker! She's incredibly responsive, knowledgeable about dogs, and—most importantly—genuinely kind. 😃 I always feel confident knowing my pup is in such caring and capable hands!”

About: Hi! Heya! Hello! Are you looking for someone to care for your pet while your away? Well you've found them! Fun, energetic animal lover who can't wait to meet your pet! Drop-ins and Walking! Volunteer work with B.A.R.K, S.P.C.A, as well as experience working as a kennel assistant at Holiday Barn Pet Resort. Why I love dog sitting? I've always gravitated towards animals; I was that kid who brought home any animal that crossed my path, feeding strays, foresting. Growing up in a home where the pet to human ratio always favored pets, pet sitting is second nature to me. My experience administering medication I've done my fair share of administering medication to all sorts of animals. I am able to administer oral, injections, topical ointments, as well as suppositories. I currently work a dual remote position at NHPBS and have the flexibility to work from home which allows me ample time to provide the attention and care your pet requires. I’ll be an extension of your home and care. The goal is to provide a safe environment where your pet feels loved and has an enjoyable stay until your return.

“Stephanie was flexible, reliable and very professional. She was very patient and skilled in caring for my dog who is a shy rescue. Thank you, Stephanie!”
