Dog Boarding Harrison

About: Hi, I'm Kaitlin! I've been caring for pets for 20+ years, for both my own pets and others. I currently have three dog-savvy indoor cats, 2 “house dogs”, and I treat every pet I care for like my own. I have children in my home (ages range from 16 – 4) who have all grown up with both cats and dogs and are well versed in respecting their personal space. I offer drop-ins to provide potty breaks, mid-day walks, house sitting for your cats, dog boarding in my home, and doggy daycare services. I work from home for the majority of the week, so my home offers constant companionship for those needing some support during the day or while their people are away. A few things that set my care apart: - Experience with crate training/trained dogs. I can offer support in that field if it is something you are working on with your dog. - While I do not currently have a fenced-in yard, I do live on a private dead-end road in a quiet neighborhood. We do not have heavy traffic and can walk for as long as necessary to tucker your pup out. - Daily photos of your pet for check-in purposes, or if they’re just being cute. - Experience with puppies and young dogs, as well as older dogs who may prefer a quieter environment. My home office space provides a calm space to spend the day with me individually. - Competitive rates and flexible scheduling. - Bonus: I also have experience with chickens and freshwater aquariums and can accommodate check-in visits to refresh water and feed as long as instructions are provided. Your pet will always feel loved, safe, and comfortable while in my care. My husband and I both currently work from home Monday through Friday and can provide constant supervision and attention to our guests. If your pet prefers a quiet environment as opposed to the hustle and bustle of family life, we do have the ability to provide quieter settings. As mentioned above, if your pet requires a crate to feel safe and secure, we have the experience and space to accommodate that. I do require that for overnight bookings, if your dog is crate trained, that you bring their crate with them. I love taking photos of my own pets, so if that offers peace of mind to our guests, I am more than happy to oblige. A meet and greet before a booking is preferred to ensure our dogs can get along. My dogs are both neutered/spayed and have not had any experiences with aggression towards other dogs. They do get excited, but quickly calm down once the initial introduction is over. Our dogs are not left unattended/uncrated with guests unless absolutely necessary. If we needed to leave the house quickly for whatever reason, you would be notified and your dog would come with us to remain under our supervision at all times. In-home visits and/or care- I am careful and aware of not letting pets outdoors unless explicitly told to do so. I have indoor only cats so I understand how important it is to check the cracks for sneaky paws and noses before opening doors. I will not wander around the home; it is strictly in to fill water and food, clean litter boxes, and spend a little time sitting on the kitchen floor to offer attention and pets (when the animal permits it). Your space is private and personal, and I am honored to have your trust in caring for your pets and your home.

“Cindy took great care of our pups and provided a home away from home for them. They came home happy and tired. She was responsive, timely and provided daily updates. Will book again!”

“First off, I do not generally add reviews but with Rebecca. I felt it was due. In all my years I’ve been fortunate enough I’ve never had to board a family member, but now circumstances have changed. Not only did I need to find someone I was comfortable with, but more important the board was a 8 week old rescue. Rebecca from the beginning was totally understanding to my concerns. When Bella was picked up, Rebecca took all the time to go over her routine making me comfortable that she was going to care for her as if she was her own. While I was away I received multiple pictures and texts daily on how she was doing. Rebecca went above and beyond and for that Im very thankful. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services in the future”

“They were so fabulous!!! Watched my girl Winnie on my wedding night. They picked her up, dropped her off and were super flexible on what was a crazy day. Would definitely recommend!!!”

Paige & Blake D.

“Nicolette was amazing. My dog was always out getting exercise and on fun adventures she was communicative and I got some great pics. Highly recommend.”

“When we go out of town we have only left our dog with friends and family. So I was a bit anxious leaving Cooper with someone he’s not familiar with. Audrey did everything she could to calm my nerves before hand and insured me Cooper would be taken care of. She sent regular photos, videos and updates! She took him on a ton of walks, swims and adventures. We were very very happy we booked with Audrey. We will definitely be using her again!!”

“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.”

Tanisha Soo & John M.

“Jessica was awesome with my pups! It was last minute and a puppy 4 months old with lots of energy. When I pulled in to pick them up and they were out playing with the kids I knew I made the right choice. She made me feel as though I could enjoy my weekend away and that the dogs would be fine. This was my first time using a sitter and couldn't have asked for better!”

Lauren E.

“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 !”

Cole H.

“Eliot was great! Her communication and regular updates were appreciated. It seemed like Buck and Pnut had a great stay. Would recommend Eliot for boarding!”

About: I have over 10 years in Dog and Cat care experience and I’m excited to invite your dogs and cats to join me at the farm where there’s so much fun to be had! Please don’t hesitate to reach out! If your pets have a designated schedule then I will follow that but other than that they are free to play with each other and have a wonderful time at the farm. The 5 foot tall metal fence is Dog and Cat proof so your pets will not be able to run away. There is so much room in the fence so the animals never want to get out anyways. I offer safety features like cameras for the unlikely event of an emergency. There is also always somebody watching your animals so your pets would never be alone.

“Stacy's home was ideal for Olli. As much as Olli enjoyed being there with her pups and her family, Stacy equally enjoyed caring for our dog. She took him on to the trails, in her car on errands, and was flexible and accommodating to his roaming to various sleeping spots. We are visiting Maine for a few months and Stacy was a great find. Getting to her home in Raymond from Portland was a direct 30 minute trip.”

Alexa L.

“Chelsea is an amazing trusted sitter for our Curtis. She’s great with communication and sending photos and updates. We ran into travel issues when coming home from vacation and she was very understanding and sweet about an unexpected extra day. This truly took my stress down a lot. I would highly recommend Chelsea!”

“Lacey and her family were awesome caretakers of our pup while we were away. She was great at communicating and Mildred seems to have loved her stay.”

“Mia was amazing with our dogs! The dogs loved her, and she them! Baxter our oldest can be slow to warm up, but not with Mia! Thank you so much!”

Danielle R.

“Natalie was awesome and I will definitely use her again. She was very kind to Murphy and and I felt he was in good hands. Natalie responded to my texts quickly and answered all my questions. She sent photos of him relaxing in her home. Normally, my pup has a bit of separation anxiety, but he was not at all anxious about being left or eager to go. I was glad they got a long so well. Murphy gives Natalie 5 stars!”

“Hannah was amazing with my senior dog, and she did not seem to mind my dog’s Velcro tendencies. :) Her property is beautiful with plenty of space for dogs to explore. Her dogs and cats are very friendly with other dogs, and I think they helped put my dog, who can be apprehensive in new places, at ease. My dog loved her stay with Hannah, and I know she will be excited to return for another vacation!”

Tracye D.

“Kate was a great choice for our dog while visiting the area. She always responded back very promptly and immediately put me at ease when I dropped off Alta. Alta had a fun day playing with her dogs. She took her for a great walk and sent lots of pictures! I would definitely recommend her.”
