Dog Boarding Bridgton

About: Hi, I'm Kaitlin! I've been caring for pets for 20+ years, for both my own pets and others. I currently have three dog-savvy indoor cats, 2 “house dogs”, and I treat every pet I care for like my own. I have children in my home (ages range from 16 – 4) who have all grown up with both cats and dogs and are well versed in respecting their personal space. I offer drop-ins to provide potty breaks, mid-day walks, house sitting for your cats, dog boarding in my home, and doggy daycare services. I work from home for the majority of the week, so my home offers constant companionship for those needing some support during the day or while their people are away. A few things that set my care apart: - Experience with crate training/trained dogs. I can offer support in that field if it is something you are working on with your dog. - While I do not currently have a fenced-in yard, I do live on a private dead-end road in a quiet neighborhood. We do not have heavy traffic and can walk for as long as necessary to tucker your pup out. - Daily photos of your pet for check-in purposes, or if they’re just being cute. - Experience with puppies and young dogs, as well as older dogs who may prefer a quieter environment. My home office space provides a calm space to spend the day with me individually. - Competitive rates and flexible scheduling. - Bonus: I also have experience with chickens and freshwater aquariums and can accommodate check-in visits to refresh water and feed as long as instructions are provided. Your pet will always feel loved, safe, and comfortable while in my care. My husband and I both currently work from home Monday through Friday and can provide constant supervision and attention to our guests. If your pet prefers a quiet environment as opposed to the hustle and bustle of family life, we do have the ability to provide quieter settings. As mentioned above, if your pet requires a crate to feel safe and secure, we have the experience and space to accommodate that. I do require that for overnight bookings, if your dog is crate trained, that you bring their crate with them. I love taking photos of my own pets, so if that offers peace of mind to our guests, I am more than happy to oblige. A meet and greet before a booking is preferred to ensure our dogs can get along. My dogs are both neutered/spayed and have not had any experiences with aggression towards other dogs. They do get excited, but quickly calm down once the initial introduction is over. Our dogs are not left unattended/uncrated with guests unless absolutely necessary. If we needed to leave the house quickly for whatever reason, you would be notified and your dog would come with us to remain under our supervision at all times. In-home visits and/or care- I am careful and aware of not letting pets outdoors unless explicitly told to do so. I have indoor only cats so I understand how important it is to check the cracks for sneaky paws and noses before opening doors. I will not wander around the home; it is strictly in to fill water and food, clean litter boxes, and spend a little time sitting on the kitchen floor to offer attention and pets (when the animal permits it). Your space is private and personal, and I am honored to have your trust in caring for your pets and your home.

“Martha did a great job of looking after my cat Osiris while I was away for the holidays. She sent daily pictures as requested for my peace of mind, reached out promptly when there were any issues, and was very understanding and accommodating when my planned pickup time got a bit wobbly due to travel issues. Will definitely be booking again the next time I need a sitter.”

“My big boy is so sensitive and so spoiled. We’ve never left him with anyone other than family. We had a family event and our floors were getting done so I explored Grover for this reason. I felt so nervous! But, I had nothing to worry about with Rebecca! She sent me pictures and reassurance throughout his stay. He had a blast! Thank you, Rebbecca! It was a wonderful experience for all of us! I can’t say enough, kind words to express how grateful we are…..”

“As a first-time Rover user, Cindy made me feel very comfortable leaving our girls in her care! They were fully tuckered out by the end of their 6-day stay, clearly loving playing with all the other doggo friends & we enjoyed fun photo/video updates throughout. I highly recommend & will book again, thank you Cindy! 5️⃣⭐️✨”

“Nicolette was amazing. My dog was always out getting exercise and on fun adventures she was communicative and I got some great pics. Highly recommend.”

Ben S.

“They were so fabulous!!! Watched my girl Winnie on my wedding night. They picked her up, dropped her off and were super flexible on what was a crazy day. Would definitely recommend!!!”

Paige & Blake D.

“Audrey is amazing! Our little ShihTzu loves to stay with her when we visit Maine each year. He gets lots of exercise and has many outdoor adventures! I only wish that Audrey lived in MD so that we could book with her more often!”

Ralph B.

“Jessica was awesome with my pups! It was last minute and a puppy 4 months old with lots of energy. When I pulled in to pick them up and they were out playing with the kids I knew I made the right choice. She made me feel as though I could enjoy my weekend away and that the dogs would be fine. This was my first time using a sitter and couldn't have asked for better!”

Lauren E.

“Jessica and her family were lifesavers! They took our two dogs last minute and loved on them so well. They did such a good job of integrating our dogs and sending lots of pictures during their stay. Our dogs came back so happy.”

Tanisha Soo & John M.

“Marcie was great and super understanding and flexible with our schedules. Definitely would recommend her if you are looking for someone to watch your furry friends!”

Greg A.

“They did a great job taking care of our bulldog. He is a large breed and loves attention, their whole family gave him lots of love. They were flexible with our schedule and easy to work with. Would definitely use them again.”

Kerrianne S.

“Very trustworthy, understanding, will go the extra mile for your loved one, and is just an all around incredible person who’s left me forever grateful.”

Faithe B.

“Grace made sure Raz had plenty of exercise and a full belly! She had my little guy over night and he came back to me tuckered out enough to sleep the whole way home to Bangor! I would definitely suggest her as a sitter and request her services again !”

Cole H.

“Christina is just plain awesome. She updates me with pictures and detailed descriptions of what she’s up to with my pup and it makes me feel so comfortable!! You can genuinely tell she just loves animals and that’s something that makes me feel at ease when I drop off Maverick (not to mention he gets so excited to see her now). My doggo comes home happy and exhausted everytime we book with her!! I am so glad I found Christina :)”

Kristina M.

“I felt so comfortable leaving our pup with Stacy for a long weekend! It’s clear how much she cares for her own animals and was so thoughtful introducing our dog into the mix, sending pictures and updates throughout our time away. Our girl was happy and tired - I would absolutely bring her back.”

Allie R.

“Kimberly is so sweet with my kitty, Stella. Stella settled into her home quickly and comfortably. I quickly booked her services again for another trip I am going on!”

Isabel G.

“Eliot was great! Her communication and regular updates were appreciated. It seemed like Buck and Pnut had a great stay. Would recommend Eliot for boarding!”

Joe M.

“Gabrielle was great. Clear and consistent communication. She was attentive to the needs of the different dogs staying with them and Ollie seemed tuckered at the end of the weekend, thank you!”

Mackenzie K.

“Lucy has found her 2nd home. I cannot say enough amazing things about Chelsea and her family. I had a family emergency across the country, and I was so nervous to leave my furry baby with someone new. Chelsea has far exceeded any expectation I dared hoped to have at such short notice. I highly recommend her!!”

“Lacey was a fantastic sitter. She was very flexible with letting us pick up Ursy for day trips. Ursy was very happy to have playtime with Lacey’s other dogs, and he *almost* didn’t even miss us! 😀”
