Doggy Day Care in Buxton

About: **FOR THE SAFETY OF MY PET AND YOURS: Please do not book with me unless you know your pet will be okay with a kitten! I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 8 years old. I currently have a 13 year old female cat and a 7 year old yellow lab as well as a 5 year old golden retriever all raised since being puppies/a kitten. With that being said they do not live with me as they stayed with my parents after I moved away from home so I currently only have a young kitten in my house! I also worked in a Doggie Daycare/ Boarding facility so I am good with all dog/cat breeds as well as administering any medications needed. I’m currently a stay at home fiancé with plenty of time to walk your fur baby as well as give them lots of cuddles and play time. I love walking outdoors and playing outside. I have a nice sized grass yard with lots of space for your fur baby’s to play and be able to use the bathroom. I also have spare rooms where your fur baby’s can go if feeling too overwhelmed and need space to themselves. They’re welcome on any furniture and will get lots of toys and pets! I am also open to getting any crates if you have a crate trained pup and will make any accommodations to help make sure what you’re training at home will stay the same with me!

“Absolutely wonderful pet sitter. Marna was calm and patient with our little chihuahua, Miika. Miika was happy and relaxed when she was picked up. I highly recommend Marna and will definitely be using her services again.”

“Our rescue pup Cora has been so well cared for by Alma + Birdy + family - we are so grateful for fun filled days playing in their backyard, going on walks, and chilling while we are at work.”

“Emily and Kieran took a very good care of our dog! They were very accomodating even on the last minute notice, and were very flexible on the timing, which we really appreciate :) They took Ohsam out for a walk several times, gave lots of loves and cuddles. I can see Ohsam had a great time with the family! Would recommend them during our next visit in Portland. Thank you!!”

“Michaela and her partner are amazing!!! Their dog Gus is extremely friendly and adorable. My dog had the best time there and was taken care of like she was their own (both for doggy day care and weekend boarding). She took her to the dog park multiple times, many walks, always providing updates and sending pictures. Super friendly, responsive, and responsible. Couldn’t recommend more.”

“Michelle was so lovely. She took great care of Tizzy and sent us a lot of pictures. Tizzy adored her time with Michelle and when we return to southern Maine we would definitely rebook her to sit for Tizzy.”

About: I’ve been a loving parent to both cats and dogs for 25 years. I love animals and am happy to accommodate walk schedules, medications, injections, and of course, lots of playtime and scritches! My pup and I do pretty much whatever we want, whenever we want. I have a flexible work schedule and am often at home, so can accommodate desired potty break and walk times, medications, preferred activities (beach, dog park, hanging out at the house.) My pup is always ready for company and activity, but knows when it’s time to relax. I live in a private house set far back from the street, with a large, well kept (but unfenced) 1.5 acre yard. My dog, Pepper, is an extremely social, playful, but chill and well-behaved 5yr old neutered Jack Russell mix. He loves playtime with other dogs, but is respectful of the quieter styles of older dogs or dogs just needing rest. I have a comfy crate suitable for small to medium dogs (if you crate), lots of toys, and lots of time to engage with your sweetie. The area surrounding my home is safe and quiet, with many options for woodland walks. I live near dog-friendly beaches and the Saco river, so splashing is an option, too! If your dog has good recall, I can provide off-leash time in the 1.5 acre yard. I have a front porch with a protective gate to keep the sunbathers from getting out, and lots of space for indoor play time and resting as well.

“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.”

“Anna was incredible with our puppy, Pippin! We had a great meet & greet with her where she was proactive about checking for any concerns that may come up with our dog. She was incredibly nice, communicative, and was available when we needed her. Whenever we need someone to host doggy day care again, Anna will be the first person we ask! Thank you, Anna!”

“Nicolette is the best! She treats my puppy like family. She is always well cared for and happy when I pick her up.”

Lori D.

“Lindsay is fantastic. She has been a lifesaver with our new pup. He always comes home happy and tired, and Lindsay always gives great updates so I know exactly how our pup has been throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend her more.”

“Savannah was fantastic in taking in our pup for a last minute daycare stay. She was responsive, caring, flexible and so great with our girl Phoebe! Our pup is needy, anxious and a bit quirky but Savannah was great with her. Would absolutely use her again!”

“Elise is lovely and our two dogs had a blast with her! Highly recommend her and would love to work with her again. :)”

About: *Please note my profile had been deactivated from 2019 to October 2025 while I built my family and had children, so you will not see any reviews during that time. I have taken care of a few dogs and cats in that time when it worked around my kids schedule and am happy to provide those references if you wish. If you want your dog to have the best care possible, then look no further! I have over 15 years experience working with animals. I grew up on a horse farm in rural Maine and have been around animals my whole life. In addition to owning two dogs of my own, I have fostered dogs and puppies for years and know how to handle all sorts of situations and types of dogs from seperation anxiety, high energy, senior dogs to puppies. Every dog is unique and I will always cater to the each dogs individual needs and I will always adhere to your instructions. Please feel free to contact me to discuss my services and qualifications. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! *Don’t be afraid to ask me about custom reduced pricing for shorter visits, etc.* I work from home with a very flexible work schedule so I am available to care for your pets at all times for boarding or stop in for visits at most any time during the day I have a large fenced yard and a very friendly yellow lab who loves to play with others. All animals in our house are considered part of the family and I will take care of your pets as if they were mine.

“A very safe wonderful place for my pup for the day. Easy access to their place and an adorable clean neighborhood. Lots of pics and walks. Ideal situation for us. Rachael was wonderful.”

“Laney and her family were great for Duch and I, her other dogs were welcoming and she was very attentive to Duch giving updates throughout the day. We appreciate her and will definitely reach out next time we need help with Duch.”
