Loving Home Away From Home
I'm an experienced doggy foster, boarding more than 10 new-to-Maine rescues last year before adopting a sweet little pup of my own. As a new dog parent, I know how difficult it can be to find reliable, affordable, overnight care - plus a place my pup will actually enjoy! I routinely pet-sit for friends, and joined Rover to continue expanding my dog's social circle (she *loves* other dogs) while earning supplementary income. My pup, Marcy, is a 1-year old blackmouth cur. She's a regular at the dog park and very well socialized across a range of doggy personalities. I have a safe, calm house with a fenced-in yard. I also work remotely, meaning your dog would have lots of attention and a watchful eye. Although I'm primarily listing my offering as dog boarding at my home, Marcy and I are flexibile so long as there is reliable internet. So please reach out if you prefer boarding at your home instead. Note that Marcy is gentle not prey driven, though she's only been introduced to one cat. If you have kitties, let's do a meet-n-greet to ensure it's a good fit. Reach out with any questions!

Ratings and reviews
Jessica is our favorite dog sitter. She’s come to our home to feed and walk him as well as taken him to her home for extended stays as well. She’s extremely attentive , caring , and responsible. We love that she sends pics of our dog having fun. We trust Jess our pet and would highly recommend her.
I’d like to recommend Jessica as a pet sitter. She has been kind and patient with our dog smiley! I would use her services to pet sit my cat and dog anytime! Marina P
Jessica cared for my new puppy while I was away for a trip. She followed my instructions carefully and sent pictures to let me know my pup was safe and having fun. She has a great fenced in yard for safe outdoor play. Additionally, Jessica is fun-loving, attentive, and genuine. I would highly recommend her for the care of any pet!
Jessica has taken care of our dog Patrick on many occasions, from a daily walk and feeding drop by to taking him for multiple days while we were on vacation. Patrick loves his time with Jessica. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is very reliable and absolutely loves animals.

Schedule
I work at home, with flexibility around meetings for walks, dog park trips, and potty/training breaks. I’m available to pet sit any day of the week.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
At my home: I have a 4 ft fenced-in yard for play time, which turns into an at-home dog park when Marcy has a visitor. Note that the fence isn't foolproof for an escape artist or high jumper. Dogs are allowed throughout the house and on couches, if they choose. Sleeping arrangements are flexible, especially knowing visiting pups can sometimes feel more comfortable sleeping in bed with a human. Marcy is crate-trained, and I have a large crate in case your pup needs a designated safe space.
Pets
A typical day
Stimulation and play time are priorities! Marcy and I will make sure your pup has lots of companionship, feels engaged, and as active as he/she wants to be. We’ll find the right kind of fun, to fit your pet’s mood and energy level. We’ll work on tricks, recall, and enrichment activities like Kong toys for mental stimulation. Depending on your dog's daily routine, field trips to the dog park, beach, or local trails could be arranged.
