1. Katie M.

“Katie was great watching our Portuguese Water Dog. It was very easy to set up a drop-off time and work out the details with her prior. She kept us updated with pictures and our puppy came back well exercised and happy.”


2. Heidi S.


“Heidi took excellent care of my pup while I was away on a family emergency, which was VERY last minute but Heidi was able to be flexible for me.”


3. Victoria Z.

“Our pup Maggie had a wonderful time at Victoria's, as we could see from all the terrific pics we got of her having fun! We highly recommend Victoria for a great doggie boarding experience! :)”


4. Noreen T.

“Amazing care :)”


5. Ashley N.


“Ashley was great! I felt very confident leaving Mello in her care while I was out of town. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable in an unfamiliar place. I appreciated the many pics and updates; you can tell she really loves animals. I’d recommend her in a heartbeat! Thanks again, Ashley (and Bailey!).”


6. Gabrielle D.


“Fantastic communication and boarding experience! Bella had so much fun with her dogs and children! I will most definitely reserve her again for worry free time away from home!!!”


7. Julie L.


“Our two Labs spent a week with Julie while we were off on vacation and judging by the daily pictures and updates that we got, they were clearly on vacation too! They spent the week playing with other dogs, lounging around and doing all the things that puppies love. We loved all the pics that were sent and when they came home they were tuckered out and happy. Just what we were looking for in a sitter!”


8. Emily M.

“My dog had a great time and received lots of love and attention. Emily sent plenty of pictures and updates during his stay and everything went really really well. Definitely recommend”


9. Tami K.

“From the photos I got from Tami, Baxter was having a great time. I really can’t thank Tami enough for taking care of Baxter for me. I was visiting from Florida for a three day weekend of partying for my grandson’s wedding. The wedding went off great and I didn’t have to worry about Baxter. It was a last minute request through Rover and Tami responded right away, even though it was a holiday weekend. Thank you so much Tami.”


10. Ashley H.

“Ashley is amazing! She went above and beyond to help us board Georgia in a pinch, and made sure she was well taken care of. Awesome option for daycare or overnight boarding. Would recommend to anyone.”


11. Nicholas S.


“Nicholas has been taken care of Napo I think almost for 2 years now! He’s an excellent sitter and take care of your dog like his own! Thanks Nicholas and family for making our dog feeling at home!”


12. Jennifer H.

“Harlow had a great time! Tons of exercise with rests in between (according to his activity tracker). I loved getting daily updates and pictures of him. I was short on his food and Jennifer went to the store to grab him some which I was quite grateful for. Would definitely recommend!”


13. Rebecca F.

“Great communication around the booking and during my pup’s stay. She did a wonderful job caring for my 3 month old puppy, which is no easy feat!”


14. Jeanne Y.


“Picturesque Maine farm for a dog to be boarded. Jeanne knows hers dogs and was a great host for my furry friend Diamond. I would definitely try to use Jeanne’s farm first if Diamond needed to be boarded again.”


15. Kane & Colette S.

“Kane was wonderful with our two Maltipoos. He welcomed them into his family and did a slow introduction to his two lovely dogs. Our pups were well taken care of and got to socialize with other doggie while we were away. We're so happy that we found Kane!”


16. Michelle B.

“Michelle was great! We dropped our pup off with her for a wedding night sleepover and before we knew it he was running around playing and didn’t even care that we left. She loves dogs and treated ours as if he was her own (feeding, walks, playtime, safety). She would’ve taken him to the beach the next morning but we had to pick him up early and drive back to NYC. We would 100% recommend her when you’re in the Kittery/Portsmouth area!”




17. Julia F.

“Julia was so amazing! She sent us regular updates and photos and made us feel like our dog was in the best of hands. We’re so happy we found her!”


18. Mary M.


“Mary, I can not Thank you enough! My first time using Rover and Louis V was so well cared for. When we are back in Maine, we will be in touch! Thank you for giving Louis V an amazing weekend!”


19. Diana C.

“Diana was the best!! She kept my dog twice for a week at a time and worked exceptionally well with Bear. Will definitely book her again in the future.”


20. Lisa B.

“Lisa was great! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and her family. I can tell my dog was so happy and taken care of. She kept me updated throughout the whole weekend she was there. Their dog Arnold was a great play mate as well!”
