Pet Boarding in Harpswell

About: I love dogs and I love walking! I just move to Maine and I am looking to walk, board or just love on your dog! My 14 year old rescue Frenchie, Clarabell (pictured above with the most sass) went over the rainbow bridge so I am looking to love on other people's dogs because I can't imagine getting another. She was my puppy soulmate. (That sounds weird, I promise I am not super weird) Anyway, I want to be around dogs and still have a lot of dog love to give. I work from home so I am around a lot. If you have questions, reach out! I work from home so I am able to take walks during the day and also a great candidate for boarding. Dogs can be on the furniture if they want and we will go on tons of walks and adventures. I have a home with a yard but no fence, so I normally just take the dogs out for the morning, mid day and evening walks to go potty. I also live near Willard Beach so if they are able, I can take them to the dog beach in the morning.

“This is the third time we have left our pup with Jennifer. She does a great job of sending daily (twice daily) updates and photos. We know Max is well cared for and well loved when he stays there. He loves Maya as well!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Alma, who invited our Whoopie into her home and family. When possible, Alma also arranges a meet and greet before the stay to ensure a good fit. Thank you so much Alma! We hope we can meet again and reunite dogs and people.”

“Rachel was wonderful. Lots of updates and pictures which really put my mind at ease as an anxious dog mom! She made sure to ask lots of questions to make sure she knew how to care for him as I would. He came back happy but tired from all the walks! Would definitely book Rachel again 😊”

“Hemi is NEVER more excited then when we are pulling into Amanda's driveway! Amanda and her family are so sweet and I can tell that Hemi is treated with just as much love as her own.”

About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life and have taken on some of my friend’s dogs while they were away without issues. I also have experience taking care of my dog after severe leg surgery that left her unable to use her rear legs for a month. I am currently working from home, so I will always be around to make sure your dog is safe and happy. I will also be available to let them out frequently and go on walks. We have a house far from the road that is secluded from other houses or people. We have a large backyard they can play in with my 3 year old lab mix. I can crate them at night if needed or leave them out to sleep on one of the many dog beds depending on your preference.

“She did great with Rock! She sent tons of photos and updates throughout the weekend! We will definitely being asking if she could watch Rock again!”

Tavon R.

“Natalie took care of our older Italian Greyhound for a long weekend. She listened thoughtfully to all the intel on Poe we thought would be helpful for a great visit (including wardrobe info!). We felt at ease leaving him in her care. She picked up on his quirks very quickly and adjusted to his behavior/needs. She understands dogs. Highly recommend her!”

About: I've cared for animals my whole life—currently, I have a dog and two cats of my own. I grew up with both cats and dogs, and I’m deeply experienced with animals of all sizes. In addition to household pets, I also teach horseback riding and have extensive experience with large animals. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a cuddle session, or specialized care, I treat every animal like my own. I'm a teacher during the school year, so my availability is more limited then—but in the summer, I work part-time and have a flexible schedule. I’m available for morning and afternoon walks or check-ins throughout the week, and I’m open for boarding Friday through Sunday. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel secure and relaxed in their familiar environment. I’m respectful of your space and leave things just as I found them. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a calm, clean environment with plenty of supervision, love, and enrichment. With my experience as a teacher and animal caregiver, I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs and behavior, and I always ensure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Gwen helped us out at the last minute and saved the day when we discovered that our Portland hotel would not allow us to bring our dog. Our pup immediately took to Gwen who was warm and friendly. Gwen sent photos of our dog happy and cozy in her care. Would highly recommend!”

“Annie was awesome! Lots of pictures and snuggles for our golden retriever!! She even introduced him to her bird, Francis, who captivated Rigby. Will absolutely book with Annie again.”
