Neil is retired, so he is home during the day. He feeds and waters the Molly then takes Molly out for walks around the neighborhood. Our two teenagers and in and out (and LOVE dogs). Abby teaches at USM and enjoys getting outside in the late afternoon and on weekends, either strolling around Mackworth Island with Molly, on local trails, or visiting Quary Run dog park.

Information Abigail & Neil F. would like to know about your pet

A typical day

Dogs are fed in the morning (with their bowls put in separate rooms). They can run around in the back yard and maybe get a neighborhood walk, depending on our schedule. We'll throw balls or sticks out back if they like that. In the afternoon, they'll get out somewhere (neighborhood or dog park). Family and friends are in and out during the day, so there is always someone around to provide treats and scratch ears. Dogs are fed again early evening (depending on your dog's feed schedule). Before bedtime, they are let out in the backyard or go for a walk.

Pet care experience

We are a big happy family (two parents and two teenagers) that adores dogs! We have one much-loved dog, Molly, who is a little timid but very social and loves when furry friends visit. She is our third family dog. We have a large fenced-in back yard for play time but make sure to get the dogs out everyday, either to smell the neighborhood or play at the dog park. We have always had pets and couldn't imagine life them.

Abigail and Neil were great! I was able to secure a last minute boarding in their home in Portland. They were very flexible in dropoff and pickup times and provided a safe and comfortable environment for our golden retrievers. I would have liked to have received some more updates during their stay but their flexibility was much appreciated.

Our dog, Maggie was happy with Abigail and Neil. They sent a few photos. She has a lot of energy and I'm sure she kept their dog, Molly busy. I appreciate them allowing Maggie to roam free in their home and on furniture.
