Dog Boarding in Gardiner

“Excellent Clean and safe surroundings. Nicely fenced yard. Sunny and bright with “Westie” level windows. I didn’t worry a bit about my little girl. Deborah took great care of her and her dog is very nice as well. Eill definitely recommend and reschedule as needed.”

About: I have experience with animals from Great Danes to Fancy rats. I have training experience as well with things such as potty training, walking etiquette, and a few show tricks. I have college classes in the afternoons but my mornings and nights are wide open on weekdays. As for weekends its just dependent on the day so I'll need advanced notice. I have a small yard, and within a quarter mile from the nearest park. I can give potty breaks ever hour if need be, and I'm great at matching an animals energy level.

“I really appreciated how clean the dogs were when I picked them up. They smell better than they did when I left them and their bandanas are adorably festive! Keeping my crew safe & clean is no easy task!! Thank you!!”

About: I’ve worked at 2 doggy daycares in the last few years where we did boarding. I’ve also worked in a cat boarding facility and have worked at pet stores for about 5-6 years. I was trusted with cleaning up after and giving medications to pets that needed it. I’m currently working part time in Freeport so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets and spend time with them and take them on walks depending on weather. I live in a wooded area with access to tie outs so your pets and I could sit outside on good days and play. I have an extra room in the house where I can easily board your pet but would require you to bring a crate if they’re crate trained depending on the size of the pet. I do have two crates available that I could use if you’re unable to bring their crate. I have 2 cats in the household along with my fiance so they would have to be cat and man friendly.

“Alyx was wonderful to work with and we are very happy we found her! She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on Lucy's stay with messages and pictures. We were nervous leaving Lucy with a new sitter but feel confident that she was well cared for and given lots of one-on-one attention in her time with Alyx. We definitely recommend her!”

About: Hello! I'd love to take care of your adorable pet. I've grown up with a dog & with cats my whole life, and I know how hard it is to leave them behind- even for a couple days! I frequently dog, cat, and even reptile sit for my neighbors, friends, family and other fellow pet owners. I have experience with feeding, cleaning and playing with animals, as well as dog walking, and helping to administer pet medication, so I'll definitely be able to take care of yours, whatever they might need. I have watched high energy puppies and kitties, to older dogs and cats that need a little extra help sometimes, but no matter what I will make sure they are happy and healthy when you can't be there!

“Christina was great! My 2 typically take a while to settle in and can sometimes not eat for up to 24 hrs, but they both felt comfortable enough to eat the first night! That’s a huge win and shows how relaxed and calming her and the other dogs were. I will definitely book again for our next trip.”

“Kathleen took great care of our Ellie. She seemed really happy with all the snuggles and adventures they went on while she was under Kathleen’s care. Definitely recomment if you’re looking for a kind and reliable sitter.”

“This was my first experience leaving our dog, Nova (border collie), with strangers overnight, but Natalie allowed us to visit with her twice at her home a few days before the booking, and that helped tremendously. I really appreciated that. Nova warmed to Natalie right away and I know this made Nova feel more secure when I dropped her off for the weekend. I certainly felt better about leaving her there because she didn't seem as anxious as she was the first time we visited. Also, Nova is the only animal in our household and she "rules the roost," so I was glad that she had other canine company. Natalie sent texts and photos to me while I was away and Nova looked alert, calm, and content. I really appreciated getting little messages about Nova and answering any questions Natalie may have had. While I did think about Nova a lot during the weekend (we've had her all her life and she's 9 now), I did not worry about her. I felt she was safe, looked after, and treated kindly. If I had to board her again close by, my first choice would be Natalie. Thank you so much, Natalie!”

“Katie was very sweet and patient! She kept me updated and sent pics every day! My dog seemed happy and comfortable around her and her dogs! Would highly recommend!”

About: I have experience with puppies, training, dogs with anxiety, geriatric dogs and more. I also have experience with complex health needs and care in dogs. I work from home as a travel agent. I realized one of the biggest concerns for travelers was their dogs and the thought of having to use kennel services. Since I have the ability to be with the dogs all day it made sense to offer my home and a family setting. Our dog Sweety sleeps with us at night and so do our guest dogs. Unless that isn’t happening at home. The dogs we care for are like family during their visit. We live in a very private setting. While we don’t have fencing, we do have a large private yard on a private dirt road. We live on 5 acres.

“I loved getting pictures of my dogs during my vacation. It set my mind at ease knowing they are ok. The line of communication was very good. I recommend Alex to anyone.”

Faith A.

“Lauren took great care of our beloved Greta for 2 weeks. She sent updates and photos and was a great communicator. We'll certainly use her again, highly recommend!”

Abigale A.

“Marissa was fantastic! She went above and beyond for our dogs and took such good care of them. She sent photos every day. She took them for walks and swims and gave them extra love and the best care. She was extremely responsive, and I would give her 10 stars if I could! I hope to use her again in the future!”

Jaimee S.

About: Grew up with animals including lizards, cats, dogs, birds and horses. Volunteered in animal shelters doing all care of cats and dogs! I love all animals. I currently work for an Equestrian Center where I help care for over 30 horses. I have two part time jobs, but I only work in the evenings and am available for the rest of the day! I’ll do my best to work around any schedule I have five cats currently who are the most spoiled animals, they get lick mats, vitamins, and all sorts of other fun enrichment. They are also some of the kindest cat you will ever meet! I would extend this love for my cats to your animal offering homemade or organic treats (if allowed!) I also have a dog and several reptiles who are beyond loved!

“My pup was well taken care of. She was happy and tired when we picked her up and she made some new friends, too! Very good communication and sent us many photos while we were gone.”

Hilary S.

“She is amazing! What more can I say? My dogs both love her, and one of them is reactive and can be quite difficult. But they both love her and that puts me at ease knowing they are happy and well cared for.”

About: I grew up on a large farm with show dogs! I have had dogs, cats and all farm animals my entire life and their happiness, care is always top of my priority! I work from home full time, so there will never be a period your fur baby will be left alone unless I need to run a quick errand. I have two dogs ( a shih tzu (7) and a mini schnauzer (6 months), we have two well behaved cats and 6 chickens that are enclosed in an outside area. We use a bell system on the doors for our dogs to tell us when they need to go outside and positive reinforcement at all times.

“I was nervous about using Rover for my 3-yr old Yorkie, but it worked out fantastic! Rose sent updates and pictures through our dogs stay. Her yard is fenced in so that was a real treat for our dog. Rose treated him like he was her own dog, gave him loads of attention and cuddles. He had a great time playing with her dogs and another Rover dog. He was smaller than all the other dogs, but he didn’t mind at all. I would definitely use Rose again!”

About: You can be sure that your sweet pup will get the time, love, care, and exercise that they need while they are in my care! I am currently stay at home with my four year old and own a cleaning company. I only clean a few hours a day Monday through Thursday so I’ll have plenty of time to play with a furry pal! I love to walk around our beautiful neighborhood several times a day to get plenty of steps in. We have a large yard in a safe neighborhood. The dog/dogs will be leashed and with me anytime we are outside. I have a large metal crate that the dog can stay in when it needs a rest!
