Dog Boarding in Harpswell

“Cindy was amazing with our dog Loki! We felt so much more comfortable leaving him with her than we ever have at a traditional boarding facility. From the start, she was super flexible—when our travel plans changed last minute, she was totally accommodating and easy to work with. Communication was on point the entire time. Cindy sent us regular updates, including photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Loki was having a great time—he had dog buddies to play with, was allowed on the couch (which he loved), and genuinely looked happy and relaxed in every update. Not only did she treat Loki like one of her own, but her home is also lovely and the backyard was perfect for him to run around and play. That made a huge difference for us knowing he had space to enjoy himself. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and will absolutely book with Cindy again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“I had a last minute booking need come up and I’m so glad I did so I could meet Elisabeth! Elisabeth was so wonderful and caring to my dog. I was really excited to see she has other small dogs, and Louise had a blast running around with her crew. Elisabeth was incredibly caring, she sent really thorough updates and made Louise feel right at home after I left. I felt so at ease knowing my sensitive little dog was so well cared for and had some friends to play with. I would absolutely bring Louise back and highly recommend Elisabeth!”

Molly B.

“Marna and family took excellent care of Gus. Daily updates were provided and prompt/detailed communication about drop off/pick up made a quick getaway stress free. He was a part of the family and was a happy, tired boy when he came home. We’ve already booked our next stay!”

Christina H.

“My puppy is always happy to see Natalie and spend time with her. I feel very comfortable leaving my Maxy in Nat's care. Will use her services again soon.”

“Mariah, Kyle and family took good care of our 10 yr. old Portuguese Water Dog during our week long family vacation. They treated him like he was part of the family and he enjoyed being around their dog and another one they were also boarding. Having a fenced in yard was perfect for playing and getting exercise. They were easy to communicate with and wonderful about giving regular updates and sending photos.”

Ann D.

“Kelly was wonderful with our dog Jimmy! She took him to the lake, and he had an absolute blast playing there. She kept us updated throughout the weekend, sending us updates with pictures and videos. He probably didn’t want to come home! We’ll definitely book Kelly again.”

Robert D.

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received during her stay with Alissa! Alissa sent regular photo updates, which gave me peace of mind and let me see how comfortable my dog was. She took my pet on frequent walks, which I could tell they thoroughly enjoyed. When I returned to pick up my dog, my dog was healthy, happy and even was given some homemade dog treats to bring home. It’s clear that Alissa is not only experienced but truly cares about the animals she looks after. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. I will definitely hire her again!”

April L.

“Our lab had a great week long stay with Victoria. He is more of a loner dog but got along very well with Victoria's two dogs. I felt very comfortable with him there and felt that Victoria and Bobby were very dog savvy and could take care of issues that might arise. No issues arose and I know our dog was well cared for and they reported in while I was gone, which was very comforting! This was the first time our dog stayed anywhere except at home.”

Christy M.

“Michaela was great with Barley for an evening so my wife and I could go to a festival. Even in the relatively short time, she sent multiple photos and videos of Barley clearly having a great time with Michaela, her partner, and her dog Gus. I would recommend her to anyone in Portland!”

Alex C.

“Viva is an amazing Dog Sitter. She took care of a relatively elderly dog with lots of medication’s beautifully with excellent communication and I plan to work with her again many thanks.”

Lora F.

“Claudia and Jason were an absolute lifesaver. We needed a last minute sitter while visiting Maine and they came through. Drop off was a breeze and I knew Chase was in good hands. Regular updates including photos reassured myself and the kids that Chase was doing well. I can’t thank them enough and I can honestly attest that your dog is in good hands with them. I would absolutely without hesitation use them again if we’re in town.”

About: *Please note that our Day Care & Boarding rates are at a special rate for August and September while we build our Rover profile! We just ask that in return you'll be sure to write us a review based on the care we provide your doggo 💛* Hi there! We’re Amanda and Austen, a couple based in Scarborough with a dog of our own (our Mini Aussie, Mazie) and a lot of love to share with yours. When Amanda’s not caring for her sweet group of five-year-olds or Austen’s not out playing tennis, we’re spending time with Mazie, chasing seagulls at the beach, hiking in the mountains, or snuggling up on the couch after a snowy play session. We love active days just as much as laid-back ones, and we’re happy to match whatever energy your pup brings. We both grew up in homes with animals- at one point, Amanda had five dogs and a cat! We have cared for dogs of all breeds and energy levels, from teacup-size rescues to large-breed couch potatoes, plus plenty of other animals over the years (including Sparkles the Bearded Dragon, Amanda’s current classroom pet). We live in a quiet neighborhood with a fully fenced-in backyard that dogs love to explore. Austen works from home full-time, so your pup will get plenty of attention throughout the day, and we share responsibilities depending on the care your pet needs. Whether it’s a weekend adventure, daily daycare, or a cozy overnight stay, we’re here to make your dog feel happy, safe, and loved. We offer care throughout the week and are happy to accommodate weekends, holidays, and special requests as our schedule allows. Austen works from home and provides consistent weekday care and supervision, while Amanda handles most weekend walks, drop-ins, and house sitting when needed. Between the two of us, your pet will never go long without company, playtime, or a potty break. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a last-minute trip, we’ll work with you to make sure your pup is happy and cared for. We know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. That’s why we always begin with a meet-and-greet to ensure your dog is comfortable with us, and you’re confident in the care we provide. We take a gentle, respectful approach, especially with shy or anxious dogs, and we’ll always ask for your guidance on what makes your pup feel safe and secure. Whether we’re in your home or ours, we want to provide a low-stress, enriching environment with plenty of attention, structure, and love. We’re also happy to provide regular updates (with photos!) and check-ins during every visit or stay, so you’re always in the loop - because we’d want the same from someone watching Mazie.

“Sarah and Dylan were both very accommodating with drop off and pick up. It made it easy for my husband and I to plan our trip to Boston for NYE and to know that Pika was taken care of. Easy communication and got an update with a couple of pictures to see how Pika was doing. Thank you again Sarah and Dylan! Will definitely bring Pika over next time!”

“Excellent sitter! Jake was great at communicating and so sweet with Belle! She was a calm, happy girl when I picked her up!”

“We were anxious about boarding our 7 mo old, but Kathleen and Dylan immediately made us feel comfortable with going away for the weekend. As a mischievous puppy with a lot of energy, it was great to see how they rose to the occasion with outdoor exercise and entertainment. Sending updates and pics kept us feeling like Homer was in good hands. The communication was great and everything went seamlessly. We would definitely use their services again!”

Tom C.

“Breanna was AMAZING!! She took my 3 large Golden’s and 2 Persian cats on short notice for a week in her home. She checked in, sent me pictures, gave my old boy his meds. It was the best boarding experience i ever had. Feel safe and confident leaving your babies with her.”

Karen J.

“Thanks for taking such wonderful care of Maisie while I was away on a 10-day vacation. She is a tired and happy puppy after "Camp Colleen." It's a good feeling to leave her in a place where she is so clearly loved and cared for.”

Liz B.

“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.

“Bronzino had such a good time staying with Cat and Penny. Bronzy can be nervous with new people, and Cat did a great job of making him feel comfortable. We hope to book again!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since 2015, although I’ve always grown up around animals. What started as helping friends and family while they were out of town—sometimes for weeks or even months—quickly became something I truly enjoy and take pride in. I believe that building trust with both pets and their owners is key to providing the best care possible. Before any stay, I like to meet the pet and owner together to get familiar with their routine, any special activities they enjoy, and any health needs I should be aware of. This helps ensure a smooth transition and allows me to care for each pet as if they were my own I recently moved to Maine in May, and I am excited to make this my forever home. While I’m currently job searching, I’m fully available and would love to focus on pet sitting in the meantime. I have open availability and can be flexible with scheduling to meet your needs At our home, I have a spacious 1.1-acre property with a beautiful front yard, a peaceful pond, and a large backyard all of which are unfenced. Pet guests enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor time in these open areas. I always meet with the owner ahead of time to learn about the dog’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. From there, I create a care plan that helps your dog feel comfortable and keeps their routine consistent while they’re with me.
