Doggy Day Care in Readfield

“My Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Arrow, is a hunting dog through and through—needs to run, stretch his legs, and burn off that energy. Kathleen makes sure he gets all the exercise he needs, and he always comes back happy, well-fed, and lookin’ like he just had the best day ever. Then there’s Doug, my American Bulldog. He’s a good boy, but he’s had his fair share of… “indoor mishaps.” And he doesn’t always play nice with other dogs. But somehow, Kathleen’s got him safely visiting dog parks and, believe it or not, he’s had way fewer accidents. Didn’t think an old dog could learn new tricks, but Kathleen proved me wrong. If you need someone who truly knows and loves dogs, Kathleen’s the one. She’s done wonders for mine, and I couldn’t recommend her more! Just don't take her job away too much, I need her for my pups!”

“Christina was a life saver today last minute booking. She has a big area for the pups to play and kept me update all day long Mia came home happy and healthy. Will definitely use her again!!”

“Caroline did a wonderful job with our goldendoodle Ollie. I had to leave for a family emergency and at a moment's notice Caroline was able to care for my very energetic goldendoodle puppy for five days and nights. I got plenty of updates and Ollie seemed very happy when we picked him up. Would definitely recommend and plan on using her services again!”

“Marissa watched our dogs when we went skiing. We felt totally comfortable leaving them with her! They had a great time at her house and she sent us pictures of their day. She was incredibly nice and we will definitely reach out again!!”

“Larissa was awesome! My dog had such a great time. Will definetely ne back if we are in the area again! Thanks!”

“Nathan accommodated us on short notice and hosted our dog for 14 hours of daycare. He was responsive, super flexible with the long hours and early drop off, and exceedingly capable/confident with our high energy shepherd/pit mix. We highly recommend him!”

“Megan is heaven sent! My dog needed day care where he was getting the same love as if he was home and Megan provided that plus more! Our work hours are from 8-7pm between us both and we felt Neeko needed to get out the house to not be cooped up all week. I’m so happy that I chose Megan for this and the fact she provides updates and pics throughout the day is amazing and warms my heart! She treats our dog like it’s his second home! Book her!”

“I've known Susan Colby for at least 40 years. She is one of my very closest friends. She babysat my now 30-year-old daughter when she was an infant with Down Syndrome and I couldn't have found a more trustworthy person to care for my special needs baby. Susan has always had dogs for pets and always taken care of them like her own children. Susan is extremely patient, kind and loving and would absolutely be an excellent animal care provider. Also she has been very passionate about Health and fitness and walks daily for exercise. She studied nutrition and child development college. She worked as a preschool teacher for many years as well as a private nanny. Susan would be a wonderful animal care provider for any family.”

“Great communication beforehand and through the day, and then a delightful summary of the day when we picked Tessa up. We were especially grateful for Ilsa's willingness to keep Tessa into the evening so we could have dinner with relatives some distance away.”

“Service with a Smile! My dogs love going off with Terra for walks. They always come back happy and ready for a nap. She picks them up, will take them to her house to play, then return them. I work nights and she brought them back while I was sleeping. I never heard her drop them off. She is kind and considerate. Very dog savvy. You couldn’t ask for a better dog walker.”

“Nikki was wonderful! She got us in last minute for daycare, and was so amazing with keeping us updated and sending the best pics! Our girls are happy pups and worn out from their big day. We will for sure use her services again!”

“I found Tyler to be a very responsible dog owner who truly enjoys caring for dogs of all sizes. He is very compassionate, patient and understanding when it comes to ensuring your dog has a safe and fun filled day. Tyler and his dog Clarence treated my Great Dane puppy just like family. My puppy absolutely adores both of them tremendously!! I would highly recommend Tyler for your dog sitting needs. He goes above and beyond!”

“I am so grateful I found her! My new work schedule was so hectic and I was exhausted when I returned home. Long walks with my Yorkie (9) and Yorkie-Palm (1) turned to us just standing in the front yard. I knew it wasn't enough. I knew I needed help, my dogs deserved more. That's when I reached out for help and came across Sky in her eye profile. I was nervous at first because I am really protective of my Yorkies. She arrived on time and communicated with me the whole time she is with my pets, which was very important to me. They absolutely adore her! She is loving and patient with my older Yorkie, but also fun and energetic with my pup. I'm also grateful that I can trust her to watch my pets when I have to go out of town. My dogs are not neutered so they don't have many options when it comes to pet hotels. You can tell she has a lot of knowledge about caring for dogs, but what I love is her friendly attitude and the passion she has for what she does. Thanks to her my dogs are well taken care of when I am away and also get the right amount of exercise on the days I don't have the energy to give them the walk they deserve. Again I am so grateful for such a reliable doggy caregiver, I think she is the best and I'm sure your dogs will think so too!”

“Maple is always excited to see her when I drop her off. She often comes home tired and is so happy with her days with this sitter. I would absolutely recommend to anyone!”

“If you’re looking for someone to care for your furry family member, Ryan’s the person you want! Over the years, I’ve witnessed him with not only his own beloved dog, but with other pets, including my own dog. He truly loves and enjoys animals. He’s very aware of their needs. He loves taking them on walks, and makes sure they are well cared for.”

“Very flexible and great communication. My dog was very relaxed when we picked him up. Thanks again!”

“We are so grateful we found Craig to dog sit for our puppy Enzo. Enzo is a highly energetic dog who takes some time to warm up to strangers, however, he took no time to adjust to Craig. Craig kept us updated through out the day with pictures and videos. We could tell right away that Enzo was having an awesome time. When we picked up Enzo he was tired (from all the fun he had with Penny) and overall just calm and happy. We highly recommend Craig for doggy care!”

About: People say I am an animal whisper. Specifically pets. However, I don’t consider myself a whisperer. I call it RESPECT. I treat any animal like it’s my own (I have 5) and I get on the same level with the furry friend (both literally and intellectually). And yes, people may think I’m weird because I talk to the animals out loud but I believe animals who are living organisms (like people) get RESPECT! I currently work part-time. But that won’t stop me. I have 4 days off usually through out the week. Depending on my schedule I’m going to provide services on my days off of my part time job. If a time will not work for both you and me then I will make a priority to try and arrange a time to provide a service as soon as possible. I will walk your furry companions as long as you would like. If it’s really hot out no matter if it’s a short or long walk, I can bring a container and a thing of water as well as during the walk. I will provide rest breaks in the shade. Pet sitting I will play with them, make sure there food is always available (clients preference) and if they need to go out I’ll be happy to take them out.

“Can't recommend Erin enough—we felt like we were leaving Friday with an old friend! She responded to us instantly and was able to fit Friday into her schedule last minute. She went above and beyond to make sure that Friday was comfortable and well taken care of during the day. To top it off, we received so many fantastic photographs. We will definitely be reaching out again once we are back in Waterville. You can't go wrong with Erin and her friendly pack of dogs!”

“Chelsea was great, perfect communication, and my dog was very calm coming back, and was really happy to go to her house again. Really happy to have found her!”
