“Norma had a great time with Britanny and her family. It's a safe and loving environment, and Britanny is super responsive with updates and photos. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t say enough great things about this family. They kept in regular communication with a lot of pictures and videos. My dog had a great time! They obviously took very good care of him. We will definitely book another reservation!”
“Francis is wonderful. Very responsive and reliable. Our dog was very upset at being left behind, and Francis spent time being very gentle and kind to her. She sent regular pics and videos and did her best to make our dog feel welcome while we were gone. Highly recommended.”
“Karen was amazing with my dog Nico. She sent lots of updates and pictures and took such wonderful care of him. She treated Nico like her own dog, and it was clear from the beginning that he was in great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Brittany was so great! She sent lots of photos of all the fun our dogs were having, keeping my mind at ease. She walked the dogs and made sure they had plenty of exercise, and from the looks of it- a ton of fun. Absolutely phenomenal!”
“As always, our pup is in the best of hands, she’s always excited to stay with Ariel and her family of humans and furry friends. I love our daily updates and pictures and so happy she is in a home environment when we cannot be home with her. Thank you!”
“Staying with Erica and Thomas is like a vacation for Bronte! She gets lavished with attention and has lots of fun time with wonderful playmates. It’s her home away from home and I feel very fortunate to have found such great dog minders for my puppy. 🐶😊”
“My pup has had separation anxiety in the past, however, not with Shannon & her family! She was happy, well taken care of, and tired coming home to us. Thank you, Shannon!”
“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.”
“So grateful for Nadjeska! Last minute getaway and couldn’t take our four-legged boy with us. Nadjeska was willing to board him on such a tight deadline/notice. Great communication! Great picture updates! Smokey had a great time! Definitely a repeat in the future! Thank you”
“Holly was great! As a nervous dog mom, she made me feel reassured that Hank was in capable hands from the first Facetime meet and greet to continual updates and photos throughout Hank's stay!”
“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!”
“My Penelope seemed so happy to be with Jennifer and her family! She sent lots of updates and took great care of my doggo!”
“Regular photo updates and great communication. Also great care of our dog! Our Mini Aussie did not want to go home, she wanted to stay with them!! Highly recommend”
“Nina was wonderful for my dogs boarding. She was responsive and let me know how Stella was doing each day. I felt very comfortable with her and look forward to booking her in the future!”
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.
“Julius and family took good care of our dog. Julius is super-responsive and sent several cute pictures of the visit. It looked like everyone got along well and were very active. Our dog came home exhausted, which is a good thing. We also needed to adjust the end time a little bit, and Julius was very accommodating of the last minute change.”
“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!”
“Mary Jo was absolutely wonderful! We had never left our puppy before and we were a little concerned but truly had nothing to worry about. We absolutely will use Mary Jo again in the future!”
