Dog Boarding in Downtown, Portland, ME

“Our pup is a sensitive, nervous guy. Marna made sure he felt loved and at home. I could tell he was having fun with her family through the photos she sent. She filled us in each day and sent photos. 🤩 Will definitely use Marna again!”

“I can't recommend Elisabeth highly enough! She took such wonderful care of our dog, Ollie, and it was clear from the start how much love and attention she gave him. Every day, she sent multiple high-quality photos and detailed updates that showed just how happy and comfortable he was in her care. She went above and beyond by dressing the dogs in warm outfits and taking them on engaging walks, keeping Ollie active and entertained. Not only did she keep him well-exercised, but she also worked on teaching him commands! It is obvious how much she cares about providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment for the dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she gave us while we were away for the holidays. Thank you for watching Ollie!”

“Kelly was the perfect sitter for our Winnie! Winnie stayed with Kelly for 2 days and 1 night. Kelly and Winnie bonded immediately and she was totally comfortable in the home. Lots of walks, play time and snuggles! Kelly sent us many photos and catered to Winnie's every need. She will definitely be staying with Kelly again in the future! Highly recommended!”

“We were thrilled by how graciously Molly welcomed our two dogs. She kept us updated throughout the stay and manages to maintain a spotless fun house and yard for her guests. Great setting and thoughtful communication!”

“Viva once again provided a second home for our sweet boy. He trusts her implicitly as do we. She’s super conscientious about making sure he’s comfortable, active and well loved. And she always sends us the best photo updates!”

“Katie went above and beyond with Reba! She was very responsive and accommodating and gave our dog plenty of love and attention during our stay in Portland. I would highly recommend Katie for anyone needing dog sitting services and we will definitely be reaching out to her the next time we're in the Portland area.”

“As always, Sarah did a great job taking care of Pepper while we were out of town. Pepper has started recognizing Sarah's door when we pull up and always seems excited to go inside. Sarah is patient with Pepper's quirks, communicative, and was gracious and flexible when a flight delay made me late for pickup. I highly recommend her!”

About: I've always had dogs in my life, and I think they deserve to be treated with love, patience & spoiled too! I'm comfortable with teacup-sized to the biggest dogs. I have a lab named Penne who loves to welcome new friends into our home! I work from home, so I have plenty of time to give pups all the love they need during their stay. I usually walk Penne 3x a day in Deering Oaks & let her run around the fenced-in yard if the weather is nice. For puppies I can do more-frequent runs! I am generous with treats, happy to have pets on furniture, and love to give pups love. I understand the concern with leaving your pup behind during work or a trip all too well, so I'm happy to give regular updates & pictures!

About: I grew up with a Shiba Inu, an American Shorthair, and two Ragdoll in my home. Having pets around me shaped who I am today. I enjoy being around animals, and I can’t wait to take care of your pets when you are inconvenient! My working schedule is very flexible and I have hybrid schedule that allows me to be home from Friday to Monday every week. I can also stay home longer than four days if necessary. I can take photos and record videos to keep the owner updated. The owner can request for when they wanted the pictures to be taken.

“Alma took such good care of our pup while we were away for the weekend! He got lots of exercise and had so much fun playing with Birdie. Alma had a great setup at home and her communication was top notch.”

About: Hi everyone! I grew up in Minnesota in a house full of spaniels. Since then, I have dog-sat for family and friends for short and extended periods! I have also raised a fur baby of my own- my (almost 2) year old Sussex Spaniel, Gus. Pet care fits into my daily/ weekly schedule naturally, as I have a dog of my own. I’m currently working a fully remote job, and can accommodate pet needs easily throughout the day! I build my day around making sure my dog gets enough love, care, attention, and exercise, and will do the same for yours! I strive to follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or yours. At my place, I have a friendly dog that would love to play and keep yours company. At yours, I will respect the space and routine, provide regular updates, and give your dog plenty of attention and affection!

“Rose was incredible! She sent multiple picture and video updates everyday, took my pup on adventures, and was excellent at communicating. I will definitely be utilizing Rose in the future.”

“Kembria did such a wonderful job watching my mutt Molly. She made the transition for Molly seamless, sent updates and seems to just really care about animals. Will rebook!”

Joe P.

“Kylie & John watched my dog Kate for two weeks and I could tell by the photos and text updates that she was relaxed and comfortable in their home. They are very easy going and caring; real dog lovers who understand dog behavior. When I picked up Kate, she was calm and seemingly happy. I was too, knowing that she was in the best of care while I was away. Thank you Kylie and John! Kate hopes to stay with you again.”

Terri P.

“Gwen was great - appreciated taking Poppy with short notice for holiday. Worked great for Poppy because no other pets. Took good care of her.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I have walked, bathed/groomed (dogs and cats), given medicine, and know how to read animal body language. I live a pretty active lifestyle and am usually around whenever you need! I do have a full time job, but it is fairly flexible and I can definitely work around anything. I respect the owners wishes and their pets needs. If you have a shy pet, no worries I will be gentle and ease into meeting them. You have a excited/energized pet? No problem I’m ready to play! Have a cuddle bug? I’m down for a nap cuddle sesh. No matter the pet I am confident I can be a good care taker for the time needed

About: As someone who genuinely loves taking care of animals, this role is perfect for me. I am that person that will stop on the street to pet any and all dogs (if their owners allow it!) I am a full time nursing student graduating in December and also work at the hospital, but would love to also schedule some animal time in as well :) I am mostly free on weekends due to my school schedule, but may vary week to week. I can usually be fairly flexible though depending on the week! I am very detailed and organized, so steps for taking care of your pets will not be missed! I will treat your dogs as if they were my own.

“I can't recommend Emma enough! It was a last minute booking to give our pup a break from the Thanksgiving crowd. Emma was responsive and communicated frequently. She even took our dog in a road race!”
