Dog Boarding in Gorham

“Fantastic communication, great sitter. My Nebby had so much fun with her pup Walter- to the point that a few hours later when I mentioned his name, she went looking for him!”

About: We (myself, my nine-year old daughter, and our beagle) love to be active; truck rides to shady spots of water on hot days, to snowshoeing fun on trails in the winter (short walks around the neighborhood and “brain puzzles” take the cake for rainy days). We are all currently learning new tricks and training skills through classes with a certified trainer. I am by no means a decorated professional, but I am educated and experienced with dogs. No more than one family of dogs at a time for services (up to 2 dogs). I prefer to keep our daily group small, and more one-on-one. My home is always dog-proofed because of my young beagle, who is also currently not spayed (she will be, once she has gained a bit more in size - this was vet recommended). I cannot take unaltered males at this time. Leashes, safety orange, seatbelts, enrichment and toys, and first-choice seating on furniture is all standard for the pups in my home, no matter how long they are visiting.

“Eliot was a big help in watching our dog Monty for three nights in her house when our kennel reservation fell through. She provided daily updates with pics and got Monty out on plenty of walks. Monty seemed to really enjoy the stay. Highly recommend!”

“Roberta was amazing! She took such good care of our dog that he actually seemed sad when he came home. She clearly loves dogs and our Tucker had a great time. She sent us frequent photos and texts which was great so that we knew he was having fun. We will not hesitate to use her again in the future!”

“Michelle deeply loves and cares for not only her own animals but those she takes care of while their owners are away. She will go above and beyond to make sure that your dog is well taken care of. I knew my Blueberry Pancake dog was in good hands for the month of travel I had recently which allowed me to fully enjoy my time away.”

“We highly recommend Laura and Nathan for boarding! We were very pleased with their care of Corey while we were away. They helped her settle in, made sure she was comfortable, and sent us plenty of pictures. They also have a fenced in yard which is roomy and fun for outside play. We will definitely book again!”

“Sarah is not only a consummate professional, she is conscientiousness and caring. She was so incredibly patient while caring for my elderly dog, (for 3 weeks!), who had very specific medical needs. She was communicative and thorough in relaying the type of care she provided. Sarah also comes from a family of Airedale-lovers...and her doggos are the rambunctious sort! I have seen her handle her own pups (3!) with reams of positive energy, kindness, and authority. My suggestion? Hire Sarah. She understands dogs and their needs. I was so pleased with the service she provided that I have no hesitation recommending her as a walker. She will love your furry friend as her own.”

“Our pup’s second visit with Elizabeth & Thor was wonderful yet again. We have such peace of mind while he’s there, knowing he is loved and in great care. We are so grateful!”

“Grace made sure Raz had plenty of exercise and a full belly! She had my little guy over night and he came back to me tuckered out enough to sleep the whole way home to Bangor! I would definitely suggest her as a sitter and request her services again !”

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Michelle as a dog sitter for my furry companion, and I must say, she exceeded all expectations! From the moment we met her, it was evident that Michelle has a genuine love and passion for dogs. Her caring nature and attentiveness truly put our minds at ease while we were away. One aspect that really impressed us was Michelle's dedication to keeping us updated throughout our dog's stay. She regularly sent us adorable pictures and thoughtful messages, which made us feel connected to our pet even from a distance. It was comforting to see our dog happy and content, reinforcing the trust we placed in Michelle. Moreover, it was apparent that Michelle took the time to get to know our dog's personality and specific needs. She accommodated his routine and provided him with the care and attention he deserved. We returned to find a happy and well-cared-for pup, which made all the difference in our vacation experience. I cannot recommend Michelle enough as a dog sitter. Her loving and responsible approach to pet sitting is commendable, and I'm confident that any dog in her care would be in good hands. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your furry friend's well-being, Michelle is the one to choose. We'll undoubtedly be reaching out to her again for future dog-sitting needs. Thank you, Michelle, for being such an exceptional and trustworthy dog sitter!”

“Liz is a caring and conscientious pet parent. She is very active and enjoy spending time in the outdoors with her dog Alpine. Liz understands that consistent training while interacting with your dog leads to a balanced and happy pet who can accompany you in many adventures! She is a perfect choice if you are looking for someone to provide responsible care for a pet in your home or to bring your pet out for high quality exercise.”
