Dirty Paws Pet Care

03/04/2026

Wow, it's been a while since I've updated this page! I'm still actively pet sitting on a limited basis. I work full time as a licensed veterinary technician now in a general practice vet and work relief shifts at an emergency veterinary clinic on the weekends, but I do still have some availability for hyper-local pet sitting (Belfast Area). At this time, I'm not able to provide reliable noon time dog walks due to the nature of my work, but I am generally available for morning or evening check-ins! I'm also potentially available for services such as nail trims, medication administration, etc

If you are in need of pet care, even last minute, please reach out and we can talk more about your pet care needs!

Hello Midcoast Pet Community!!
I'm excited to have some openings available over the next few months for pet sitting and dog walks! I've also *finally* established myself on Rover.com (although I am still very happy to take bookings via facebook) and have a special referral promo code for all of you. You save $20 off your first booking by using promo code: KATIEB70514 at https://www.rover.com/sit/katieb70514 ! Rover.com also has a calendar of my availability - so if you know you are going away for the holidays, BOOK NOW, as my availability is limited! Thank you all for your continued love and support ~

Woah, summer went by so quickly! I can't believe we are already half way through August! Time to start planning ahead for the holidays!

I'll be heading back to college in a few short weeks to finish up my Bachelor of Science degree in Veterinary Technology, but I still have some availability for in-your-home pet sitting through the end of the year and over the holidays! Things fill up very quickly and I TRY to leave one or two spaces open for last minute needs, but PLEASE reach out as soon as you know your holiday plans so you can get on the books!

Even if you just need a day or two away, or a last minute overnight pet sitter, we are here and happy to help!

Warm, sunny days are upon us!
I just completed my 3rd year of UMA's Veterinary Technology program and I'm home for the summer and ready to make some new friends! We now have availability for dog walks and "in-your-home" pet sitting in the Belfast, ME area for the summer months - we are open for locals and visitors!

We look forward to seeing you all around and helping out with your pet care needs during the best time to be in Maine!
Please feel free to reach out with any questions! 🐱🐶💚

The holidays are sneaking up on us! Are you planning on traveling and need loving, in-home, pet care for your fur babies?

We have moved!
We have thoroughly enjoyed our time with our clients and their dearly loved furry companions in the Camden/Rockland area, but we have relocated to the Belfast area to help shorten my commute while I work full time to finish my Bachelors degree in Veterinary Technology. I'm committed to continue learning new ways to help care for the animals of Midcoast Maine!
