“Second time buddy stayed with Brittany and her family and he had a good time. He didn’t come home clingy or anxious. Brittany kept me updated with lovely glamour shot of Buddy throughout the stay. Would recommend her without any reservations.”
“Erica & Thomas (& their kids!) took such exceptional care of our puppy, Hudson. He came home healthy & happy! We were nervous to leave him for the first time, but we received daily updates on him and knew he was having so much fun. We are so relieved to have found such a loving family to spend time with him, and can’t thank them enough for helping us out. Would recommend them to anyone looking for awesome pet sitters!”
“We went on a 16 day trip out of the country and we knew Marley was in safe and caring hands. We got regular videos which reassured us he was happy and having a great time with the other dogs. The best review was when we were eating at an outdoor restaurant patio and suddenly he started to wag his tail like crazy! I was trying to think of who would cause that type of reaction, and it was Shannon and her husband! We will definitely be going back to Shannon.”
“Me & My husband couldn’t be more grateful to have found cherryl & Wilson for our pup Milo. From the moment we met, it was clear that they genuinely loved animals and takes their role seriously. They were nothing short of attentive, reliable, and kept us updated with photos and little videos while we were away—which gave us so much peace of minds. Thanks for allowing Milo to be in your home.”
“Laura was excellent. She has a wonderful home for dogs and it almost felt like dropping my pup off for summer camp. He came back looking happy too. Laura was friendly, punctual and asked good questions on how to take care of my dog.”
“Samantha was such a wonderful friend to our baby Clover while we were on vacation. She sent lots of pics and updates and it was clear they both really enjoyed each other's company. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating when we needed to extend Clover's stay a few days, and we really appreciated that! Samantha will definitely be our go-to when we need a sitter in Westbrook!”
“Thank You Holly & Mike! Finn had such a great time with you!! I would highly recommend Holly. Her knowledge of elder dogs made me fell so at ease. The property Finn stayed at must of felt like a resort retreat! Beautiful 🤩 I will most definitely be contacting Holly more often!”
“Mary Jo was great, so kind and thoughtful. Our dogs were happy and comfortable and we were happy to get an update that they’d settled in. we would use her again without hesitation!”
“This is the third time we’ve boarded our 2 Coton de Tulear pups with Melisa. Again terrific. She is easy to communicate with, totally herself, with nice school age kids and a fenced in yard off the kitchen’s that is great for hours of play. My dogs come home well-cared for, happy and exhausted. And this year, when we couldn’t get into our house after vacation because refinished floors hadn’t dried, Melisa was kind enough to keep our dogs a few extra days. A life-saver. Thanks again!”
“Brittany was AMAZING! Our dog, Bailey was only 18 weeks old and she knew all the right things to do with a puppy. We never worried once about his care. She sent pictures every day of his antics which made us laugh but also convinced us that he was happy and loved. She was in tune with his quirky personality, from his removal of ALL the toys from the toy box before deciding what to play with, to helping with the laundry by stealing the socks, to proudly carrying things around that he “found” . AND Brittany was reasonably priced. We will use her again in a heartbeat. We felt so incredibly blessed to have found her. We can’t thank her enough for making our vacation stress free.”
“Ariel was great. Our dog is very energetic either on chasing a ball or off resting. Ariel gave her just what she needed. Also Andie done how came home smelling great!”
“Nina was very accommodating to my dog and I. My dog stayed with her this past weekend and Nina treated him like a part of her family. I loved that he had a great time at her home and wasn’t just placed in a cage over night like at most places. I’m booking with her again for any future trips! If you want your fur baby to be comfortable, loved on, and well cared for, book with Nina. She’ll keep you updated and you won’t have to worry while you’re away.”
“Julius and his family were great! He was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and let me know she was settling in and doing well. His daughter was my pup's bestie and snuggle-buddy while we were away! His dog Bear is such a patient friend too -- well mannered, sweet, and a calming presence for anxious dogs (like mine!). Definitely recommend.”
“Sadie loved her time with Nadjeska and her family! It was hard to leave her for the holidays but it was clear she felt right at home. It was helpful to get so many pictures and and know she was doing well. We would definitely book again!”
“Our mini goldendoodle, Eloise, had another lovely time with Jessica and her family recently. We received numerous status updates and photos as Eloise played her heart out during her stay and she came home sleepy and satisfied. We will be using Jessica again!”
About: I’ve had dogs for 30+ years and now I’m retired with no dogs so have room for yours. I am gentle and playful as well as responsible and active. I do not take cats, sorry. I watch our daughter’s dog on occasion but would not watch him at the same time. I had a lovely chihuahua for 16 years, and a husky, as well as a fluffy white mixed pup, all healthy and happy and had their senior years with us as well. I’m retired and home all day doing eBay and other hobbies. I also take daily walks and would take your dog out often as well. I have a large fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. I am also home a lot and allow the small dogs to jump up in my lap and furniture.
