Pet care experience
The last seven years I have worked at a few different doggy daycares in New York City! During that time, I was also petsitting at home for multiple pups. Coming from NYC, I became very good at navigating the crowded streets with a "pack". I moved up to Maine almost four years ago and have been caring for animals of all kinds ever since, but dogs definitely hold a special place in my heart. I opened Rebels Homestead recently (find me on fb) and have an array of animals such as pigs, goats, chickens etc…all of which are a ways away from the house and not reachable by the pups I am a stay at home mom to a 1 year old who absolutely LOVES animals; so will always be around to make sure pups are getting all the attention they need! If I have to go out briefly, my husband will be home! Dogs will almost always have someone in the home 24/7. I can only have smaller size dogs at my house at this time In my home, we have a fenced in yard and 3 acres of open land. I do not allow dogs to be off leash outside of the fenced in backyard. My home is located very close to the Bangor City Forrest and I love to go for long walks there if the weather is nice. I try to keep dogs on the schedule they are used to when they stay with us, i.e feeding, potty breaks, etc...
Reviews
My daughter and I left our little girls, Poppy and Pigeon, with Rina so we could have a night out in Portland. Pigeon requires a regimen of medications, and Poppy was naughty the entire time. Despite the hassle from my wee babes, she provided a super fun overnight with all kinds of toys, play, walks, and praise (they love that part). Rina regularly sent me photo and text updates, so that I was able to be preoccupied with my dogs while out of town as God intended. I would one million percent rebook with her, and I’m sure that the pups agree. They had a blast, and had to sleep off the fun for the next two days. ?? Totally recommend.

We have a secure fenced in yard and do not allow dogs off leash outside of that area. We are extremely good about teaching our son what is appropriate behavior around animals and what is not. He has learned so fast and continues to enjoy all our visitors. (Dogs and baby never left alone)
Home
Information Rina & Andre P. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any allergies, food/toy aggression and health issues. I offer NON raw hide chews during the day, please let me know if your pet is not allowed to have these.
A typical day
I work from home so will always be around to give your pup lots of attention. My day usually begins around 7am when I let the pups out into the backyard for a potty break. Breakfast comes next, followed by more outdoor play (weather permitting). Outdoor time is always supervised, dogs are never left alone together as a precaution. Throughout the day I offer a variety of toys, chews, potty breaks and an additional meal at lunchtime if needed. Usually I will take a couple dogs at a time to Bangor City Forrest which is just down the road, although we have three acres of open land out back, in addition to our fenced in backyard. Plenty of room! At night, dogs are either crated (at owners request), given dog beds or sleep in bed with us! We keep pups in the bedroom with us at night to make sure they are appropriately supervised.
