“Came in from out of town for a wedding and Heather saved the day when another sitter canceled. My dog came home tired and happy. Great communication throughout. Thanks you!”
“Michelle was great! We dropped our pup off with her for a wedding night sleepover and before we knew it he was running around playing and didn’t even care that we left. She loves dogs and treated ours as if he was her own (feeding, walks, playtime, safety). She would’ve taken him to the beach the next morning but we had to pick him up early and drive back to NYC. We would 100% recommend her when you’re in the Kittery/Portsmouth area!”
“I couldn't be more grateful to this wonderful couple for taking care of my pup! They made him feel right at home, treating him like one of their own. It was clear they gave him tons of love and attention. Sending me pictures to let me see all the fun he was having. Thank you for making him feel so comfortable and cared for — I’ll definitely be coming back next time I need a sitter!”
“Bandit was able to meet and greet everyone before we left him for the weekend, which we appreciated meeting everyone too. He came home to us tired and happy.”
“I was very happy with the care my dog, Poppy, received with Jeanne. She provided regular updates and photos and was very responsive every time I contacted her. I will definitely use her in the future.”
“Taylor is awesome! She gave my 11 year old pup the care she needs, being the pampered pooch she is. Taylor sent updates with pictures and assured me that Maddy’s stay was going well for everyone… Maddy, Taylor, her sweet daughter & pup Chico. Maddy is looking forward to her next sleep over with Taylor’s family. 🐶🐾”
“Emily is wonderful! I was nervous about going out of town and leaving my dog, but Emily put my mind at ease and took such good care of her. I really appreciated all the updates and pictures. I absolutely recommend her!”
“Gabrielle was amazing! She’s keeps you updated on how your pups are doing and sends pictures daily! I love that she watches so many dogs because it is socializing my puppy! 100% recommend and we will be booking again! Thank you!”
“Amanda was amazing and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience with her services. She went above and beyond out expectations. Our black lab was under the weather when Amanda took care of her and she took so much extra care and was thoughtful in ways we didn't even think of. It made a big difference and we're so grateful to Amanda. We'd recommend her without any reservation and look forward to having her take care of our dog again!”
“Five stars is not enough stars to describe the how great of a job Ashley did. My babies were so happy staying with Ashley while we were away that I think they were a little depressed to come home! Ashley took the time to send me updates and photos daily and they even left with a bag full of home made treats. I would highly recommend Ashley to anyone and will most definitely use her again.”
“Noreen and her family so excellent with our family oriented dog Ellie. She was made to feel like she had a second family while we were away. Would be hard pressed to find a better caretaker than Noreen and her family.”
“Tami is amazing with our dog Jasper. He was right at home with her and her family. She is great with giving updates and sending pictures. We are very grateful for her taking on Jasper with very short notice. Highly recommend her. She is very nice and caring.”
“Katie was fantastic! Super helpful and communicative setting everything up for our first time with her. Kept the dogs loved and entertained (including a pool party!) while we were vacationing. And they came home looking better than when we left. Will definitely want to have them spend time with Katie again in the future.”
“Rebecca was amazing with our 2 newfoundlands! we were camping at the nearby KOA and needed some last minute dog sitting. She was the first person we contacted and thank god she was available! Rebecca is so caring, sent us constant updates and made sure the newfs were cool and hydrated on this very hott day. If we could bring Rebecca home with us to NY we would! she is fantastic. thank you Rebecca! we'll visit again! ANYONE staying at the KOA and in need of some pet care, dont hesitate to contact her!”
“Brihana was so so so good to my little guy!!! She sent me very prompt updates in pics and in texts so I knew Murphy was well tended to. Her environment was super comfortable and conducive to dogs. Briahna is also easy and very accommodating to medication needs and Solo dog stays.”
“This is the second time we have used Julie for boarding for our 10 month old Bernedoolde. The first stay was 9 nights and we could not be happier with the care and attention our Paddington received. We will, without hesitation, utilize Julie for our future boarding needs. We have also used her daycare services. Highly recommend Julie!”

Taylor sent updates with pictures and assured me that Maddy’s stay was going well for everyone… Maddy, Taylor, her sweet daughter & pup Chico. Maddy is looking forward to her next sleep over with Taylor’s family. 🐶🐾
Taylor was fantastic with my two fur babies! Her dog Chico and Andreas (my pet) became best friends during his stay, they played together, cuddled, and he was wiped when I took him home! He didn't want to leave he had so much fun with them. Pepper, my timid cat also stayed with her in a separate Catio type enclosure which made her feel much more comfortable in a new environment. Taylor was very responsive, sent lots of cute photos and was very kind. Highly recommend her!
