Our dog had a wonderful time with Ashley and had lots of quality activity. It was clear she was happy when it came time to pick her up from boarding! Will be returning next time.

I cannot say enough good things about Ashley! She is so caring and compassionate, really understands dogs and how they think. My Roxie was so spoiled by her. It feels good to know that my fur baby is well taken care of while we are away.

I was nervous about leaving Kobe with anyone who wasn't a family member. After contacting Gabrielle she invited us to a meet and greet. Kobe had a great time and was well taken care of by Gabrielle. She sent me updates and pictures the entire time that he was in her care. I would definitely leave Kobe with her again!

Nicholas replied quickly, sent great pics and made our pup feel at home for his weekend out. Chris "went the extra mile" in several ways to ensure our pup had tons of fun! We will for sure use him again when in the area

We are so happy we chose Katelyn to leave our dog with while we were out of town! The backyard space was plenty of room for our dog to run around in. We got pictures and updates on how our dog was doing and felt like she was being loved as one of their own!

Jeanne offers a pleasant, safe environment - both inside and outside at her rural Wells home. She exudes confidence with dogs and quickly judges their character, individual needs and compatibility with other canine guests. Her experience with horses reinforces a practical, easy approach to animal care. Our Welsh Terrier loved staying with Jeanne and plans to visit again.

Absolutely amazing experience! Left my boy for 10 days and he couldn’t have been in a better care! She kept us updated throughout the whole stay and made sure to send daily pictures. It made me feel better knowing that he was getting so much attention and love! Will be using Felicia every time we need help!

About: I have recently retired from the Army and have time to love dogs, not only do I provide care but the dogs give me joy and love that is shared with our two kids that also love dogs. Our Family wants a dog, this experience will give us the opportunity to meet many breeds and determine the best fit for us. I am retired, so we have plenty of time to have fun with our dog friends. Walks will help me stay active and in return provide joy for our dogs. We live in a safe neighborhood, with plenty of spots to walk to for play and fun. I can follow instructions for any special needs as well.

About: I’m a newly retired teacher and former principal that loves my doggies! Over the years, I’ve had so much love from my very special friends. Would love to give and get some loves from your treasured family member. I literally live in the middle of Stratham Hill Park and I love to walk. Only one “little guy” at a time…🥰 I’m loving my retirement and have lots of time and love to give. I have some scheduled exercise classes in the mornings but always home by 10:30. I’ve had so many dogs over the years. Routine visits to the vet are mandatory and walking, playing, and interacting with my friends are essential. I’m also very familiar with dogs with anxiety. One needs to approach this in a calm and careful way and watch the signs for anxiety coming on and be able to respond with love and kindness. Living right in the middle of Stratham Hill Park, I have easy access to the walking trails. Because I don’t know your dog, they will never be off leash but will be outside often during the day!! I love to walk. 🥰 I have a lovely crate IF your dog prefers this quiet space, but I will not be crating unless you ask me to. Typically my 11 year old grandson will come by after school to snuggle, play and go for a walk with me and your pup!

About: I have been dog sitting for others for 4 years now and have had cats and dogs most of my life! I am an avid pet lover and can sit large to small dogs in my home. I have trained basic skills, potty trained and crate trained dogs. I am currently in graduate school and have an internship part time. My schedule is fairly flexible and I am able to be home often if needed for a pet. I am a good fit for dogs that are able to manage 6 hours alone for internship days and home the other days of the week! I live in a quiet home with no other pets or children. I have a small fenced in yard with a pet friendly neighborhood to walk in. I can accommodate dogs that are not friendly with other dogs if needed. I can easily crate your dog if needed but they are welcome on furniture in the house if that is more comfortable for them especially at night.
