“Treating your dog like family, every single time!”
Hi, I’m Kayla! I’ve been working with dogs for about 7 years now. I’ve walked and boarded just about ever kind of dog from pug to rottweiler and even a cane corso. I’ve been stepping into dog training and really educating myself on all there is to learn. I have two pit bull mixes at home, they are biggest goof balls. Just know when your pet is with me, it will be treated like my own.

My name is Evie and I'm a senior studying marine science at Boston University. Though my studies focus on aquatic life, I have always fostered a love for animals of all shapes and sizes (likely a result of the many pets cared for throughout my childhood). My family dog, Teddy, is an 8 year old Shitzu-Dachshund mix (a "shweenie"!). He currently lives at our home in Kansas City so I find myself missing my furry friend quite often. Most of my canine experience is with small to medium dogs, but I'll never turn down a stroll with a well-tempered giant. I hope to get to know you and your pup soon!

Hi! I’m Laurie. I am a vet tech who’s looking to get out and enjoy the outdoors with your pooch. I’ve had years of veterinary and shelter experience. I am well versed in all types of animal behavior.

I’m mature, reliable and trustworthy. I look forward to meeting you and your pups (and your kitties too!)

Hello! My name is Rachel and I am an Alaskan Fisheries Observer! I have a Bachelors degree in Marine Science and I am from Maine! With my job as an observer, I have a few months off at a time, so I can’t have a dog of my own. But this is a great alternative for me! I had a Newfoundland and a Papillon growing up, so I am very comfortable with small and large pups! Back home I also cared for two labs and a pit bull mix, which one of the labs had bad allergies and hip problems where it was hard for him to walk. I am very confident in my skills to give your pet the best care possible!

Dog Walking in Bangor
Located right by the Penobscot River, Bangor is not only an arts and culture hub, but also boasts scenic waterfront views and so much natural beauty. From city parks and walking trails to dog-friendly restaurants and five veterinary clinics, it is so much more fun exploring Bangor when you have your four-legged furry pal by your side.
There are so many pawsome walks to be had in Bangor, with some of these being found in Brown Woods, which has 28 acres to explore, along with a walking trail that is just under a mile long. The Walden-Parke Preserve is also worth checking out, as this 410 acre parcel of land is home to some tail-wagging nature trails. Give the Blue Trail a try, as this 2.5 mile loop is easy to walk and showcases so much natural diversity. For even more walks, there is a popular network of trails in the Bangor City Forest, which will show you and Fido some interesting examples of reforestation and tree regeneration.
After all of that walking, you and Fido will need to sit down for a rest, and the dog-friendly restaurants in Bangor are the pawfect place at which to do this. For some authentic Italian, head to Pompeii Pizza, where your pooch will even be given a bowl of water to sip from, while Paddy Murphy's is an Irish bar and grill that serves up Irish comfort food.
With such a wide range of exciting walks to be had, as well as a selection of dog-friendly restaurants to relax in afterwards, it is easy to see why Bangor is such a popular city with those who own dogs.

If your pooch is still not tired, Essex Woods is also where you will find the Bangor Dog Park. This fenced-in dog park has separate sections for smaller and larger dogs, as well as plenty of balls and toys for the dogs to play with, just be sure to bring your own water and doggie bags.
Broadway/ State St

Another park to take Fido to is Chapin Park, which has an extensive green area that dogs tend to love.

West Bangor

Just a couple of minutes walk from here is Bass Park, which is where the city's horse races have been held for the past 135 years.
