Doggy Day Care in Ocean Avenue, 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!”

“This was my first time leaving my dogs with someone new, and Shaena was just awesome....so good with dogs, great communication, mellow atmosphere at home with her canine pal Cassidy. Thank you, Shaena!! We'll be in touch for next time :)”

“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!”

“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!”

“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!”

“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have had a better experience with Johanna. We felt completely at peace leaving our furbaby with her! Definitely recommend!”

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

“I have a yellow lab named Oliver. Gigi has cared for him for many years. shes always respocible and sweet with him he loves her!”

“Gwen is a true dog lover…all dogs, but definitely mine! Charlie has been so happy to have 3-4 day stays with Gwen since 2014. I appreciate her flexibility and reliability and attentiveness to Charlie and her photos while we’re apart. I know Charlie is safe and spoiled when she’s with Gwen. It’s a fabulous feeling!”

“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.”

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.

“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!”

“Kathleen was great communicating with me and being flexible about date changes. Reynard did well there and Parker is also very cute! We have already rebooted with Kathleen!”

“Our dog Joe was very happy staying with David. He got plenty of exercise and sunshine. David was excellent with updates and photos, will definitely book again.”

“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!”

“Dan was great! He replied quickly and my dog, Inch, had such a great time with his dog, Louie! He sent me some adorable photo updates while I was gone & was super easy to get in contact with the entire day. I will definitely be using Dan again for any future doggy daycare needs. Thank you so much!”

“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!”

“Our pup had a great time with Sarah. Sarah communicated well and was flexiable with us when we finished our day early and asked to grab sequoia early. We defined recommend Sarah and will reach out for our future trips to the Portland area!”

“We couldn’t say enough about our dogs’ stay with Melissa. We needed dog-sitting on super short notice and Melissa was available and fantastic. Communication was constant, she took our pups out frequently for exercise and bathrooming, and we got pics throughout the day. She was accommodating to both of our dogs, one that is a little hyperactive and domineering, and the other one a little nervous and anxious, and she was great with both. We’d love to have our dogs stay with her on future trips to Portland.”
