Doggy Day Care in Nasons Corner, Portland, ME

“Rachel is so accommodating and a great communicator! Took wonderful care of my bulldog”

“Christine recently took care of our 11-month-old puppy, Roo, for a couple evenings while we were at work. She is awesome! Super responsive, flexible, and loving with our pup. Roo got to play in the snow and go on beach adventures with Christine and her two lovely little nephews. Thank you, Christine!”

“Alexa is a phenomenal pet owner. I always have her watch my dog when I go out of town on business and she does an amazing job every single time, even watching my dog for days at a time if needed.”

“Susan is a wonderful communicator and we loved all the photos she shared during two days of doggy daycare! She was very attentive and took great care of our Cash! Highly recommend anyone who is looking for a great dog caregiver in the Portland area because she goes above and beyond. Her and her dog Blue are great caregivers!”

“Emilia took great care of my dog Louie who is a bit nervous around new people. Communication was great and I could tell my little guy felt very comfortable with her. Would 10/10 recommend!”

“Alma is an awesome, reliable and experienced dog sitter! We needed our puppy boarded last minute and she provided exceptional care. She is TRULY a dog whisperer and her fenced-in yard and job working from home is an added bonus. After getting to know Alma I could see she has extensive knowledge and experience. Additionally, she has great communication skills as she kept me updated with daily pictures and messages, giving me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Alma for all your pet sitting needs!”

“Gigi has stayed at our home with our dogs multiple times. She is an exceptional person and I highly recommend her services. Gigi is caring, responsible, smart and fun! I always rest easy knowing Gigi is in charge.”

“Johanna was great with Meera, who came home tired and happy from her daycare visit. She was also flexible with my drop off and pick up times, which was very appreciated while we moved. Thanks, Johanna!”

“Gwen not only loves animals but also has extensive experience caring for them. She was employed as a vet tech for several years and even worked with marine animals. She has cared for our dogs on several occasions, and we highly recommend her. Your animals will love her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes since I was a teenager. I love getting outside with them and know that a well walked and properly stimulated dog is also a happy and well behaved dog. I also love taking pictures of them so you can be sure to receive regular updates on your pal. Depending on your dogs diet, I love to get creative with things like meal toppers and stimulating treats (shaved carrots, peanut butter, unsalted bone broth etc.)! I work from home so pet sitting allows me to have a buddy for my walks and be attentive to the dog in my care :) For boarding, your dog will have a designated open area for their bed/crate where they can hang. Pets are welcome on furniture, but I’m happy to abide by whatever rules you have at home for consistency.

“We were so happy with Carrigan's house and pet sitting. We have 7 special needs senior dogs and 2 senior cats. Highly recommend. Miss them!”

“Yuki was very easy to work with and responsive and gave us a bunch of updates and photos. Reina got to play with her very cute dog. We will try to do day care with her again when we need it.”

“Sent updates all day and was very responsive! Super happy with our day care experience with Nicole, and would recommend her to everyone!”

“Roy is an exceptional human being who loves all dogs from various walks of life. Roy is incredibly calm, considerate and kind. We are next door neighbors and our dog absolutely loves him, and he tackles him constantly. Roy’s wife Simone also has an insatiable love for dogs and couldn’t be any sweeter and also very responsible. They have two dogs, Jack and Donnie, who are so silly and gentle. I would highly recommend these two to watch your family member as they have watched over our dog and given him a 5-star experience every time—even let him cuddle and sleep in their bed with them —just like he was one of their own. I feel so fortunate to have them live nextdoor!”

“Sarah was very responsive even when I booked the night ahead! This was my first time booking through rover and Sarah would definitely be my first choice again! She gave me updates often throughout the evening and told me how our Pika was doing. Thank you Sarah!”

“Savannah was fantastic in taking in our pup for a last minute daycare stay. She was responsive, caring, flexible and so great with our girl Phoebe! Our pup is needy, anxious and a bit quirky but Savannah was great with her. Would absolutely use her again!”

“Love having my pug Pearl stay with David and Savannah. They always give me such peace of mind knowing she is getting such attention!! Thanks guys! See you next time!”

About: I've lived with animals my whole life. Growing up, I lived with many cats, dogs, rabbits, and two amazon parrots. I have volunteered at shelters and worked at a pet grooming service in my teens. Currently, I live with four cats, one gecko, and many different pet insects and arachnids. At the moment, I'm sitting a dog and a four year old child for a neighbor every Monday, as well as semi-regularly watching a pair of senior dogs and four adult cats for a different couple. I would love an opportunity to care for peoples exotic pets because as someone with exotic pets of my own, I know it can be very difficult to find knowledgeable and trustworthy sitters to care for them if I'm gone. Of course, I'm also happy to meet and care for fuzzy friends too! If you have any questions, please just shoot me a message. When I'm not sitting I make my own hours for work, so my schedule is very flexible. This excludes Mondays when I sit for my neighbor. Because I already live with several pets, I usually care for pets in their owners' homes, but I do make exceptions for well-behaved pets that get along with cats. I have a large (unfenced) yard and a car fit for multiple dogs to get them there or to any destination if the situation calls for it. As a precaution, I will always require that the owner be present with me for the introduction, and I would ask that they allow me to accompany them on a short walk or be present during a feeding so that we can build trust before the owner leaves. Every pet has a different personality and set of needs and I pride myself on my ability to understand animal body language well enough to know what they need and want. Care and interaction vary case by case, but my main goal is to keep all the animals in my care safe and happy.

“Oh. My. Gosh. Melissa is an angel!! She is so in love with dogs, and that is evident from the start to the finish of her time with them! She updated us throughout the day, and within minutes, I felt like my two dogs were in the best and most loving hands ever! I SO WISH Melissa lived near us in NY! I would use her ENDLESSLY! Melissa is someone when leaving your fur babies, you feel like you are leaving them with someone who will love them even BETTER than yourself!! I can’t say enough happy positive things. My day at the beach was incredible and relaxing thanks to her! ??? I will use her EVERY TIME we vacation in Maine!”

“Rachel and her children were so wonderful with Reynard. Rachel sent frequent updates, pictures, and videos during his stay. Reynard came back home a happy boy. We would definitely recommend Rachel and book with her again”
