Doggy Day Care in Buxton

“Joshua is great. He and his wife were able to accommodate my 9 week old puppy last minute to watch him in their home during the week. They sent pictures and kept me updated! Will for sure use him again and will recommend for anyone needing someone to watch their pup.”

“Bailey loves Kate. They played together and went on walks. I felt he was in good hands. I completely trusted her. Such a nice feeling to know your dog is both safe and happy.”

“My little boy is loud and full of energy, and Melynda takes him on with stride! Super flexible and communicative. Herme is the best friend Yoda needed!”

“Janice is super sweet, and very attentive to all of my pups needs. She pays attention to detail, wants to be consistent with expectations, and really cares for dogs. She even washed out his puzzle feeding bowl! I will definitely contact Janice in the future for care.”

“My golden retriever has so much fun playing at Jennifer's! I love the photos and updates I get.”

“We had a wonderful experience leaving our dog Willow with Alma! She was very communicative before and during the booking which always makes the Rover process feel easier and more reassuring. Alma’s dog, Birdy, is super sweet as well. Willow seemed comfortable right away and according to Alma settled in more as the day went on. Great yard, deck for doggie lounging and overall set up from the house (super easy to see the yard from most parts of the downstairs). We will definitely book again. Highly recommend!”

“June had a great day with Carmen! Carmen was so accommodating with our drop off/pick up & communication was perfect! We had a wonderful beach day thanks to Carmen!”

“Susan is a wonderful communicator and we loved all the photos she shared during two days of doggy daycare! She was very attentive and took great care of our Cash! Highly recommend anyone who is looking for a great dog caregiver in the Portland area because she goes above and beyond. Her and her dog Blue are great caregivers!”

“Freya ADORES Melissa and Royce. Whether it’s one day, or two weeks, she’s happy to be there. She’s an anxious older dog but chills right out with Royce at her side, and always comes come exhausted from playing with him. ❤️ Melissa is super communicative and kind, the dogs spend lots of time outside and get lots of love. Finding a good place for Freya to stay has given us so much comfort and freedom!”

“Amybeth was amazing! She took care of Frida so I could attend my friend’s white coat ceremony. She sent great updates and made my anxious dog feel safe and at home. I picked up a tired and happy pup at the end of the day. I am so grateful for the care she provided!”

About: I have experience with cats, dogs, and bunnies. I always grew up with dogs and have several years of experience taking care of family and friends dogs. We have three cats who are siblings currently. We planned on adopting one cat but we could not split up the litter so we adopted them all 😀 they love other animals and are extremely friendly. I just graduated from dental hygiene school and am currently waiting for my license to go through. I will have all of May available and plan on starting work Monday - Thursday in June. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a large back yard. We are walking distance from a large park. I have a vehicle as well so am always willing to drive for a hike or a beach. I am very active so any excuse to be outside is great, especially with a furry friend 🐶

“Sent updates all day and was very responsive! Super happy with our day care experience with Nicole, and would recommend her to everyone!”

“I am so grateful to have found Sara. My dog has separation anxiety, which really puts a damper on our ability to get out and do things. Sara took time to do a meet-and-greet to find out about Muppet, let him check out the place, meet her other pets, etc. I could tell right away she had a heart for pets, and we were both comfortable with her right away. Muppet had his first stay with Sara while my husband and I had a Saturday out. Muppet was calm and happy when I picked him up, and I could tell he had a nice, stress-free time and was well looked after. Sara was also kind enough to take and share a few pics from Muppet's visit. I feel totally confident leaving Muppet in Sara's caring and capable hands, and I'm so happy to have found someone so close to us in Standish.”

“Christina was very kind and fun to talk to. She updated with lots of pictures and our pup came home happy and tired!”

About: I grew up on a horse farm and have many years of pet care experience ranging from puppy to elder dog care, as well as cat and horse care. I have offered private pet sitting and dog walking services throughout the years.I am first aid certified and have participated in some basic dog training classes.My family and I have a two year old Border Collie who loves to share his space with other dog friends. I currently have a flexible weekday work schedule and open weekends that I would love to fill the gaps with taking care of your loved one. I have a partially fenced in yard on a dead end street and have a two year old Border Collie to keep your pet company. We are happy to make trips to the beach during dog friendly hours and live close to many walking trails for outdoor adventures. We also have a very dog educated 9 year old kid who loves to give pup snuggles just as much as we do!

“Hands down the BEST! I honestly could not imagine having my princess in any other home… (besides my own) Karen has babysat my rescue Nala several times and always does a great job keeping her busy and well taken care of, she doesn't even miss me! I feel better knowing Nala is in a loving home full of walks and cuddles. She does overnights and sleeps with Nala so she's not lonely. She sends me lots of pictures and videos of their fun adventures. She's flexible and understanding. There has only been a couple times she was unable to take Nala because she was booked and I had to go with someone else. They were good, but Nala jumps out and runs to Karen! Her daughter is always so happy to see Nala and Nala thinks she is her best friend!”

I am a nurse in an acute care hospital, and I work every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. These are the days I cannot care for your pups. I am home the rest of the week, enjoying my time off, the yard, and the woods with my dogs and cats. If your dog likes to run away, we will walk them on a leash, or when in the yard, we will provide a long line. Dogs are NEVER unattended. Our dogs are always with us. However, they are not allowed on the couch or the bed. They have dog beds next to the couch or my bed.

About: I've lived with animals my whole life. Growing up, I lived with many cats, dogs, rabbits, and two amazon parrots. I have volunteered at shelters and worked at a pet grooming service in my teens. Currently, I live with four cats, one gecko, and many different pet insects and arachnids. At the moment, I'm sitting a dog and a four year old child for a neighbor every Monday, as well as semi-regularly watching a pair of senior dogs and four adult cats for a different couple. I would love an opportunity to care for peoples exotic pets because as someone with exotic pets of my own, I know it can be very difficult to find knowledgeable and trustworthy sitters to care for them if I'm gone. Of course, I'm also happy to meet and care for fuzzy friends too! If you have any questions, please just shoot me a message. When I'm not sitting I make my own hours for work, so my schedule is very flexible. This excludes Mondays when I sit for my neighbor. Because I already live with several pets, I usually care for pets in their owners' homes, but I do make exceptions for well-behaved pets that get along with cats. I have a large (unfenced) yard and a car fit for multiple dogs to get them there or to any destination if the situation calls for it. As a precaution, I will always require that the owner be present with me for the introduction, and I would ask that they allow me to accompany them on a short walk or be present during a feeding so that we can build trust before the owner leaves. Every pet has a different personality and set of needs and I pride myself on my ability to understand animal body language well enough to know what they need and want. Care and interaction vary case by case, but my main goal is to keep all the animals in my care safe and happy.

“I would like to recommend Vanessa Muskie as a pet sitter extraordinaire! She loves animals and is very responsible. Both of my dogs need special care and Vanessa does everything just right. The dogs love her and so do we!”

“Madisyn doesnt not slack by any means. Pets are her fur babies and she treats them as such. She always goes above and beyond with the love and caring for animals. She took care of my Fairlee girl on and off for two years. She treated them so well that times I felt she didn’t want to come home with me :-) - if you want your family due baby to be treat and care for like gold Madisyn is your Gal !”
