Your dog will come home tired!

I'm a certified dog trainer. My dogs are well-sociaized and enjoy having friends come to run and play. My back door opens to about an acre of fencing so the dogs have a large area in the front, back, and side yards to run and play without worrying about them chasing anything into the woods. We walk a mile together every morning in the fenced area. My dogs love to run and play or fetch a ball, and I do sprints and jogs with them so we all get our exercise. I am currently building an agility course and training my dogs on it. It is great exercise and a lot of fun! Maybe your dog would like to give it a try! I do not take dogs with incontinence or severe mobility issues. They must get along well with other dogs in a pack situation.Shy dogs are welcomed and will likely come home with more confidence! Come meet and greet and see for yourself :) Fence jumpers and determined escape artists not suitable. I monitor bowel movements and clean as the dogs go to prevent parasite infestations and to monitor health. During meals, all dogs are separated so they can eat at their own pace and relax. I have a bowl of water in the house and always keep water outside for them to drink as they run and play. Message me for special requests such as taking two dogs or an extended day. Please upload vaccine records or send them to me before the stay! I do not take dogs unless I have vaccine records. Pickup for boarding is before 10:00. If you need to leave longer, there will be an additional charge.

My dog had a ball playing with her two for the day, while I went to do a tour in Bar Harbor that my dog would hot have enjoyed. Thank you, Polly

Thanks Polly for taking care of cooper and Bailey so the I could enjoy Acadia. Thanks for spending time with them to help break them of some of their bad habits. I appreciate the time you spent with them and me. I would recommend Polly and would definitely use her again.

Polly was really wonderful! She took us last minute when we wanted to do some dog free hikes that were a bit too dangerous for Jax and was super communicative! I got tons of pictures and videos. She made sure my pup was ok with playing with her dogs. She’s awesome :)

Absolutely blown away by Polly. Our 2 year old aussie hasn't been as socialized as we would like, and when we arrived she began to growl at the other dogs that were there. Within seconds Polly had corrected the behavior without being physical and our dog has been less reactive to other dogs since. She also sent us pictures and videos throughout the stay.

Schedule

I spend time exercising outside with the dogs.. I have an extra-large and a large metal crate and a medium sized enclosed crate if your dog requires or prefers being crated at night or if your dog has issues when left alone in the house.
