Pet Sitting & Dog Walking in Lincoln, Maine
Lincoln is lake and woods country: the town counts over 4,300 acres of water and 22,000 acres of woodland. We look after Lincoln's dogs, cats and every other animal in the family, at home.
- Dogs, cats and any other animal
- Overnight sitting in your own home
- Meet your sitter at home before booking
A town with nearly 70 miles of shore frontage and 22,000 acres of woodland gives its animals a lot to look at and sniff. Whatever takes you away, a long shift, a trip south or a week at camp, your pets still want the day they know: the same walk, the same bowl and the same spot at the window.
We come to them. Every new client starts with a free meet and greet at home, so your pet meets us on familiar ground before anything is booked.
Why staying put helps
Loading a pet into a car for a long drive and leaving them somewhere new is a lot to ask of an animal. A daycare or kennel can mean new dogs, new noises and the risks that come with strange dogs, like fighting and disease. At home, one person looks after your pet, and nothing changes but the hands on the leash.
That one-on-one care counts most for the old, the shy and the anxious. A senior dog who needs help getting up, a cat who hides when the house goes quiet, or a puppy who cannot be left alone can have someone with them the whole time, following your vet’s written instructions after surgery or on a tight medication schedule.
For every animal in the household
Out here, a household’s animals aren’t always just a dog and a cat. A drop-in visit can cover birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles, fish or livestock, and elderly or special-needs animals are welcome.
For a reptile, we check the enclosure temperature and humidity against your numbers. For fish, we give the exact amount of food, no more. For larger animals, you tell us the routine and we follow it.
Overnight sitting keeps a whole home steady: the sitter arrives at 7pm and stays until 9am, with meals measured as you do them, water, potty breaks and medications at their set times. You get a photo at bedtime and another when the day begins, and the last trip outside happens when you say it does.
A walk to know: the Community Trail
The Lincoln Community Walking & Fitness Trail is a 2.2-mile gravel network through woods and open areas, with no steep inclines, eight fitness stations and a picnic area. Pets are permitted, and you may see deer, rabbits and turkeys along the way. In winter it’s used for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
Gentle ground like this is a good match for puppies learning the leash, seniors who go slowly, and any dog who wants a longer sniff than a driveway allows. We walk one household at a time, so your dog goes alone or with the dogs they live with, and never gets mixed in with dogs from other homes.
That matters for the dog who gets overwhelmed by new company, and for the one whose owner wants to know exactly who their dog has been near. After a wet or muddy walk, we wipe paws inside the door and put out fresh water before we go.
Ice, then hunting season
Over 4,300 acres of water means a lot of ice in winter. Maine’s wildlife department says to stay off ice less than 4 inches thick, and if a pet falls through, not to risk your life to save it.
Winter walks bring salt too, on roads and driveways, and it cracks paw pads. After a cold walk we rinse or wipe your dog’s paws, and if a dog won’t wear boots, we cut the route short on the coldest days.
In fall, Maine’s 2026 deer seasons run October 3 to 30 for archery and November 2 to 28 for firearms, with no hunting on Sundays. The state recommends wearing orange in the woods in those weeks. Adult deer ticks are active from late September to late November as well, and Maine CDC suggests checking pets after time outdoors.
Boarding in Milford
If you’d rather your pet stay with us, Lindsay’s Milford home is about 46 miles away by road. It’s a lively house with pets of her own, so it fits dogs and cats who like company. Boarders sleep in the house, not in a kennel run, and every stay begins with a meet and greet.
For a lot of Lincoln families, overnight sitting at home is the easier choice, and the pet gets to stay in the middle of their own life. If you do choose boarding, bring a bed or blanket that smells like home, and know that we’ll tell you honestly if a stay isn’t a good fit for your pet.
