Dog Boarding in Gorham

“We were so lucky to find Emily to care for our dog, Sonny, while we hiked the Lake of the Clouds Hut in August. From the moment we arrived, we knew he was in the best hands. Emily has a warm, welcoming home with plenty of outdoor space for dogs to play and explore. She took Sonny on walks, played ball with him, and even brought him swimming—which he loved! Emily kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, giving us complete peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. Sonny was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we would absolutely trust Emily with him again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for loving, attentive care for their dog.”

“Kate & John were amazing with my dad’s dog, Walter! He is an anxious boy, and they made sure he felt at home, and got him settled right in. Their dogs, Theo and Luna, were very friendly and welcomed him with happy tails and they had a lot of fun together. They took him on adventures to a brook, walking trails and lots of playing fetch. They were very responsive and communicative which put my nervous dad at ease and he was able to enjoy his vacation worry free. It is very apparent that this family enjoys welcoming other dogs into their home and caring for them, we highly recommend Kate & John!”

“We were so relieved to find Celeste as we were new to the area and had been using the same sitter for years as our dog is far too anxious when left in kennels. Sula had a great time, got to play and run with lots of other dogs. Celeste was great with her and sent lots of pictures and updates. We know we had a happy and tired dog when we picked her up. Celeste was also super flexible when we had to modify our booking through no fault of our own. We definitely recommend and will be using her again next time we travel.”

“Jessica and her family were lifesavers! They took our two dogs last minute and loved on them so well. They did such a good job of integrating our dogs and sending lots of pictures during their stay. Our dogs came back so happy.”

“Our dogs Otis and Allie had a wonderful stay with Luanna and family. She was awesome with communication and we would gladly use her services going forward.”

About: 🐾 Need a place for your furry friends to hang for the day? Overnight care? Visiting the area and want a safe place to leave your dog for an afternoon of two? Going on vacation? Regular day care while you are at work? Playtime and exercise? Walking and check/ins? I can do that! 💕 I currently have one 30lb lab mix, Ruby, who is a year old- she is very sweet- loves other dogs and people! 🐾 We go on at least one long walk in the woods on our property every day- sometimes adventuring to the river for a dip, or out on the local, less-popular hiking trails. We know all the secret spots ; ) 💕 I love having a little dog pack around, and love watching them play and run together. I believe in providing plenty of outdoor time for playing, sniffing, exploring, listening to nature, or sitting in the sun- whatever your dog needs to be happy! I will meet them where they are at to ensure they are comfortable in a new environment. Leashes will be used until we are sure it’s fine to take them off. 🐾 Trained in basic doggie 101-we usually have basic manners and recall in practice for healthy treats and affection-especially for puppies- and can provide a crate, comfy couch or bed if your pup needs a space to retreat. 💕 My only requirement for care in my home is that your dog must get along with other dogs and cats. I will gate the stairs to keep some separation, so if your dog is “cat curious” but intimidating, they will all have their own space to relax. 🌟 Local residents of Chatham, Conway and Fryeburg looking for regular care (3 or more days a week) please reach out about joining the “Wolf Pack” for discounts/ local rates! 🌟 🐾 I work from home mostly, and have a flexible schedule. Pet care is perfect for my lifestyle! 🌲 We are outside a ton- gardening, hiking, xc skiing, swimming- adventuring on our property and in the surrounding National Forest. 🐾 I would prefer dogs that are good off-leash and have good social skills- I will always keep your dog on leash if I feel they are not okay otherwise. I only take 3 at a time the most, in-addition to my own pup. We live on a very private property with an open yard offering plenty of space to run and play. We have a comfy animal-friendly couch and a screened-in porch with a queen-size bed for your pups to nap outside without being “loose”. I have one pup who will be happy to keep your pup company! They will be able to go in and out freely in a natural home setting, (as long as they are okay off leash) and your dog will be cared for like our own. If I visit your home, I would typically have my dog with me to play with yours- unless you specify otherwise. Each visit would be an hour of play and affection, outdoor time, feeding, water, etc.

“Grace took such good care of my high energy Aussie puppy while I was away for a week! She has a great house and huge yard for pups. I got frequent updates and photos and would definitely board with Grace again in the future!”

“Jillian did a wonderful job taking care of our Bode while we traveled. She asked such thorough questions and really got to know what made him tick. She sent so many great pictures and videos and we knew he was having a blast. Thank you Jillian!!”

About: Hi! We’re Charlotte and Lucas. We’re animal lovers who have always had pets as part of our family, and caring for them is one of our favorite parts of daily life. Right now, we have a golden retriever who thinks everyone is his best friend and three cats who each have their own personalities. Our pets, as well as our lifetime of experience as pet caregivers has taught us how to juggle different needs, from high-energy walks to quiet cuddle time. We understand what it’s like to worry when you’re away from your pets, so we make sure the animals we care for feel loved, safe, and at home. Whether it’s tossing a ball until your pup is tired, giving extra patience to a shy cat, or just keeping up with daily routines, we will treat your pets just like our own! Taking care of pets is already part of our everyday life. We have a golden retriever and three cats at home, so our days naturally revolve around feeding, walks, play, and snuggles. Because we’re so used to that routine, it feels easy and natural to make time for other pets too. Between the two of us, we’re flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Depending on the day and time, either one of us will be available, and we’ll clearly communicate that with you when booking so you know who to expect. At the end of the day, we both just enjoy having more chances to spend time with animals. We know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe and cared for when you’re not there. When we’re in a client’s home, we’re respectful of your space and careful to follow your routines. We pay attention to details like locked doors, leashes, and food instructions, because we know consistency helps pets feel calm and secure. Most of all, we want you to feel at ease knowing your pets are being treated with the same love and care we give our own.
