Dog Boarding in Castine

“We couldn’t have been happier boarding with Charlotte while we were visiting Acadia! She’s a lovely person and gave our lab, Mabel, exactly the home away from home experience we hoped for (and arguably even more fun!) We didn’t have a moment’s worry knowing that Mabel was in the best of hands. We will definitely be back!”

Kati G.

“Joey is awesome! We boarded our two (very different in every way), dogs with him for two nights. From the moment we arrived, we, and our dogs, felt very comfortable. He texted videos and updates, inquired about them after we picked them up, and just could not have been kinder, more enthusiastic, or more understanding and accommodating of their different needs. We’ve already planned to bring them back and recommend Joey wholeheartedly!”

Craig W.

“Amber and her son took great care of Clover! I got plenty of updates, pictures and videos throughout her stay. I would absolutely bring Clover back again!”

Kerri C.

“Our dog loved staying here!”

Carrie G.

“Our 11 month old, rambunctious cavalier King Charles spaniel had a wonderful vacation with Emily and Leroy! She went to the beach, on wonderful walks, and had great lap naps. She will definitely be back to visit her new friends the next time we go out of town.”

Barbara L.

“Debbie watched our dog on two days while we enjoyed the park and Bar Harbor. She has a perfect setup at her new home for taking care of your dog. She sent pictures throughout the day and was very considerate of my dog’s needs and making sure she was comfortable. Definitely recommend to others!”

Kim H.

“I am so grateful for Bethany and her family for the loving care they give to my Australian shepherd, Remi. They care for her and treat her as part of the family. My affection and confidence may best be expressed by sharing that Bethany is listed in my contacts as “ Remi’s Rover Mom. “ I highly recommend 🙂🙏🐕”

Bob S.

“Ellie and Sarah are great! Their house has a great setup for dogs with a fenced in area in the yard. They were super responsive to my messages, provided pictures, and asked questions of their own to make sure they provided my pets with excellent care. They were also flexible with my pickup time when my travel plans changed due to weather. Would book again!”

Madison L.

“Nieves took great care of our two collies. She worked with me to arrive at a convenient schedule for drop off and pick up, and sent me pictures, videos and updates throughout their Rover stay. Highly recommend.”

Jill N.

“Thank you Danielle!! Spice and Coco have indicated that they had a great time. We are so thankful to have found you! It made our trip so much easier to go worry free. The girls seemed very relaxed and every picture you sent over our trip, showed how happy they were. Your attitude during the entire stay they had, was over the top. When our return flight was canceled, and it added an extra day to our trip, you again made us feel at ease. Can't thank you enough, and would use you again on our return next summer. Pat, Sue, Spice and Coco.”

Pat B.

“Nancy was awesome! My dog Maisie was loved and cared for as if she was part of the family. I received frequent updates and pics too! Maisie had a wonderful time. I would recommend Nancy and will certainly contact her next time I need dog care.”

About: I have had experience with pets since I was I child, my family and I love all kind of pets , I am from Costa Rica so I always had a pet in my house and around from friends and family. I am available most of the time, I am super open to work holidays, weekends and nights, just contact me before booking to check availability. I have my own farm house in Swanville Maine, a very quiet and very peaceful place without many neighbors around, perfect for pets and very near from Belfast.

About: I’ve always grown up with a dog in my home. I have experience handling a variety breeds of all sizes, from a small 20lb Cairn Terrier to a 185lb Boerboel! I also have experience administering medication which included oral consumption as well as shots. I have been very reliable to my close family members and friends to take care of their dogs and cats when they are working or away on vacation! Aside from Rover’s guarantee , I am also separately insured to give you an extra ease of mind when choosing me for your sitting needs! Pricing: Please understand pricing is non-negotiable. Prices shown on Rover are accurate and up to date (as of March 2026). Initial pricing shown during search is a base rate - additional rates may apply depending on times/ animals that are needing care. An accurate quote will be provided after submitting a request. I do not offer discounts at this time, thank you for understanding! House Sitting Requests: Please keep in mind that I am catering to repeat clients I have throughout the week day as well! Depending on my schedule, I may not be at your home 24/7, however, I guarantee your pets won’t be alone longer than 5-6 hours. Typically I limit leaving to 2 times a day to accommodate these clients. (I won’t be gone 5-6 hours each time) My coming and going schedule will be provided prior to sitting! Constant Care: Constant care is applied to any sitting that doesn’t allow me to leave for more than 4 hours of the day, per day. Constant care rates start at $175/ night (additional rates still apply) and increase based off of pet’s needs. Please understand this service may not always be available and interferes with ongoing mid day clients. Price reflects alternative arrangements I need to make for existing clients. If you have any questions regarding this, please reach out! I currently only allow one family for boarding at a time. Prices reflect solo care and not having to worry about exposure to other dogs during their stay. I currently have one cat in the home - a 12 year old Maine Coon mix who is very relaxed and tends to mind her own business. Between my boyfriend and I, there is always someone on property, so potty breaks can be provided frequently!

“My Australian Shepherd, Remi, had a great time with Melissa. I know Remi was well cared for and incorporated into their family activities including walks and hikes. I know Remi will be excited to return for another visit.”

About: As a pet lover for my entire life, I am very open to who I will take in. I have taken care of my family’s dogs and cats. As well as friends’ pets as well. Not just our small pets. I worked on my family farm in the middle of Maine near Dover-Foxcroft. That included Horses, chickens, occasionally some cows and donkeys. I would love to take care of your pets for whenever you need me to. Just give me any details about them. Medical, whether they are in heat, spayed or neutered. I will be sure to accommodate accordingly. You can contact me via email, call, or text. For those who need service at their home, I would gladly organize that with you as well. Small, medium and large pets are all welcomed. As for cancellations and early pickups, I will do my best to be as flexible as I can. As this is for the pet, not the money. ❤️🐾 I currently work part time and I’m a mom of a little boy. I have pets of my own that I take care of on a daily basis. I have integrated my son into my pets lives and they’re all best friends. Being with animals has always been a major part of my life! Currently not offering in home services, or house sitting services. However, when checking in or walking pups I do make sure water bowl is filled if I notice it’s low and I make sure to bring a pop up water bowl on long walks in the summer.

“Nicole is amazing and will always be my first choice for doggy boarding when I am in Cleveland. My puppy loves being with her and her pups and has the best time. She sends so many updated and photos which I love so much and it puts me at ease. I 10000% recommend Nicole!!”

Taylor P.

“Second time booking Kirk, and everything was just as great this time around! Kirk watched my dog for nine nights over the holidays while I was out of town. I got picture/video updates every day, and he continued to make my shy/anxious guy feel comfortable and happy. He even took him out to the large open area near his place where he could run around and have fun off leash. Super appreciative of Kirk and highly recommend!”

About: What truly sets me apart is that dog care isn’t just a service I offer, it’s a central part of my everyday life! I’ve raised dogs from day one, all the way through their golden years. I am incredibly comfortable with all life stages. Having owned and loved dogs my entire life, I have a deep, intuitive understanding of canine behavior, and what it takes to keep a pup feeling secure when their owner is away or when they are in a new environment. I am currently a proud dog mom to two pups of my own, meaning my home is already a fully equipped, dog friendly environment, where your pet can seamlessly blend into my safe and comfortable daily routine. I am an avid outdoor enthusiast, which means your dog won't just be letting themselves out into a yard, they will be getting true mental and physical exercise. From neighborhood strolls to exploring fresh air trails, I love keeping dogs active, stimulated, and happy. If your dog has energy to burn, they will find the perfect match here! As a stay at home mom, my days are spent right here at home, which gives me incredible flexibility. Pet care isn’t something I have to rush through before or after a work shift. It is naturally woven right into the heart of my daily family routine. I am always around, so your pup will benefit from constant supervision, a predictable schedule, and plenty of companionship. My approach to pet care is rooted in safety, structure, and treating your dog exactly like a member of my own family. Safety is my top priority. If being boarded at my home, I have a fully fenced in yard where your dog can run, and play completely securely under my close supervision. During my pop in visits, I handle all the essentials, including walking, feeding, refreshing water bowls, and managing potty breaks. You will always receive a quick update and a photo, so you can have total peace of mind knowing exactly how much fun your pet is having!

“Valerie and her family were so wonderful. We were so bummed to leave our pup for his first Christmas but she made it special for him and welcomed him as part of the family in their gorgeous home. We got regular updates and check ins. He loved romping in the snow with his new best friend, their family yellow lab. We highly recommend Valerie and will be using her again!”
