Doggy Day Care in South Effingham

“Kim is the absolute best. We've tired a few sitters for our Abbi (Golden Retriever) before finding Kim. No need to look any further. Leaving Abbi with Kim was like having an experienced, dog loving family member watch her. Kim sent pictures and updates throughout Abbi's stay. I highly recommend Kim and will definitely book her again.”

“Rebecca is fantastic! Stormy had a great day with her and felt right at home. After daycare, Rebecca dropped her off at my house (before I was home) and got her all settled for me. I came home to a happy and tired dog. I loved getting all the pictures and videos and updates!”

“Lacey, Chad, and Joseph were amazing hosts!! Hazel was happy, tired and thriving upon pick up. Lacey was very informative and welcoming and they have a beautiful and safe set up for your 4 pawed family members. If I could give more than 5 stars I surely would. We needed a sitter in a pinch when ours wasn’t available and Lacey was quick to respond and help us out so that all of us (including Hazel) could have a fun day trip! She kept me up to date throughout the day with pictures and updates, providing lots of toys and games for Hazel so she wouldn’t be bored and loved on her like she was her own. I will definitely recommend Lacey and her fam to anyone who needs a sitter in the Southern Maine area and we definitely will inquire again. Thanks so much guys!!”

“Alina was so fantastic! We spent a few minutes introducing our dogs on drop off. Then I was off and Daisy was taken on an awesome adventure walking all around Portsmouth. By the time I picked her up, Daisy, normally full of energy, had clearly had a good time and was ready for a nap, a rare sight.”

About: I have been working with dogs for the past four years, three and a half at a boarding/daycare facility and half a year independently on Rover doing dog walks/house sitting. I am now the owner of White Mountain Dawg Barn where I offer daycare and boarding in a safe and clean environment. I work 24/7 as the owner of White Mountain Dawg Barn, providing exercise of daycare and boarding dogs in the form of small play groups or one on one walks/hikes. I care for pets at White Mountain Dawg Barn like they are my own. Each dog has an individual kennel to relax and sleep after going out in rotating small playgroups or a one on one hike.

“Robin was great with our 17 year old cockapoo, Cosmo and extremely flexible with our changing plans. Cosmo gives two paws up!”

About: I’ve been a loving parent to both cats and dogs for 25 years. I love animals and am happy to accommodate walk schedules, medications, injections, and of course, lots of playtime and scritches! My pup and I do pretty much whatever we want, whenever we want. I have a flexible work schedule and am often at home, so can accommodate desired potty break and walk times, medications, preferred activities (beach, dog park, hanging out at the house.) My pup is always ready for company and activity, but knows when it’s time to relax. I live in a private house set far back from the street, with a large, well kept (but unfenced) 1.5 acre yard. My dog, Pepper, is an extremely social, playful, but chill and well-behaved 5yr old neutered Jack Russell mix. He loves playtime with other dogs, but is respectful of the quieter styles of older dogs or dogs just needing rest. I have a comfy crate suitable for small to medium dogs (if you crate), lots of toys, and lots of time to engage with your sweetie. The area surrounding my home is safe and quiet, with many options for woodland walks. I live near dog-friendly beaches and the Saco river, so splashing is an option, too! If your dog has good recall, I can provide off-leash time in the 1.5 acre yard. I have a front porch with a protective gate to keep the sunbathers from getting out, and lots of space for indoor play time and resting as well.

About: We’ve always had dogs and cats in our home but we are a military family so we move around often and we are not ready to bring one in permanently so I thought helping others with theirs would be perfect. I know I needed help with mine so I’m happy to repay the favor to others now. I have 3 kids who are used to animals (especially bigger dogs), private yard, no other animals in the home. I’m home all day and would love a buddy or two to join us from time to time! I only ask that dogs are kid friendly! We don’t mind animals on furniture but will adhere to any at home rules you may set (if you don’t allow them to do certain things at home, I won’t deter any training and let them do it here and vice versa!). Crate trained dogs are preferred but definitely not required! Just know a lot of dogs may do better in a new setting by having their own spaces to retreat to! I’m a stay at home mom, other than school drop off/pick up & errands, I’m home to care for pets in my home or visit a pet in their home We treat all pets like they're part of the family. When it comes to caring for pets, I'm all about creating a cozy, safe, fun environment for them. From belly rubs to fetch sessions, I'd make sure they feel right at home. We live on a private road with plenty of space to run around. Whether it's a scratch behind the ears or a tasty treat, I'd give them all the love and attention they deserve. And you can bet I'd be sending you cute photos and updates to let you know they're in good hands!

About: Every dog has their own unique personality. I take great joy in getting to know every dog I meet and spend time with. They are not just pets they are our companions our best friends, our family. I have two dogs and two cats of my own so I understand how hard it can be to leave them and know that they will be well cared for. I look forward to helping to ease some of the stress involved with that. I have many years experience with special needs dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals. I would love to care for your pet in anyway I can. I have a pretty flexible schedule so reach out and find out if I am available, I will do the best I can to accommodate. I very mindful of your home and will leave things as is or as instructed. Our pets can sometimes have accidents and I will always clean up in anyway needed. I try and send you lots of photos of your pet(s) and provide updates. I am the first to reach out if there is anything of concern or in need or urgent attention. My goal is to leave your pet happy, healthy and ready for a nap by the end of my visit.

“Briana accepted our Daisy on short notice and on a holiday weekend. Daisy had such a good day that I don't think she wanted to leave when we came to pick her up! I would highly recommend her services.”

About: I have been taking care of animals since I could talk. We always had a zoo in our house growing up whether it was dogs, cats, ferrets, Guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, birds. Learned a lot about responsibility by taking care of all of the animals and neighbors and friends have always trusted me to watch their animal friends as well. I have also been a volunteer at Project Wildlife and worked in dog grooming salons as well as pet sitting for family friends. I work from home full time so I am always around to make sure the animals needs are being met. My schedule is pretty flexible so I usually have time to bring the dog for a walk or car ride and snuggle with the cats during lunch time. My partner, Chris, also lives in the home and as a big animal lover is always ready to lend a hand or give a good scratch. We have an electric fence we can train any regular visitors to use so they can free roam the yard with our dog or we will just use a leash if the dog does not have good recall per the owner’s instructions. We also live right next to a lake which we can walk to with the dogs during the summer.

About: I was raised along side many animals and have always loved caring for and raising pets! We live on a beautiful 31 acre farm/homestead with our 3 dogs and 1 cat and many other farm animals! I have done fostering for litters of kittens and have experience bottle feeding and raising puppies. I love it! I am a Stay at Home Mom to 2 little boys, 3 dogs and 1 cat, pet care is a regular part of my daily routine! We have crates available for at night crating, and a large yard and long driveway for walks! We would love to care for your pet while you are away!

“Our pup had a great day with Melissa and her family! She kept me updated on how he was doing and kept him active. He was so happy to see me at the end of the day but he also nuzzled Melissa and her daughter while we chatted about his day. It’s clear they gave him lots of love and attention! I highly recommend Melissa’s services!”

About: Hi there, I’m Abigail! I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life, my uncle was a vet tech and I’ve learned a lot from him! I’m an aspiring zoology major, and I see pet sitting as a way to gain experience! I have many references that I can provide upon request. I also volunteered with local animal shelters while I was in high school, I've had a love for animals ever since I was young. Not only is this a full-time job for me, but it's also like a vacation for me and your pets as well, I enjoy spending time with animals more than any other aspect of the job. My schedule is very flexible, free for overnight visits and free all weekends/weekdays. I’m able to stay for week long stays as well. I only offer drop in visits within 25 minutes of Brookfield NH, all other services I provide anywhere within my range. I also do shorter stays. In the clients home, I will make sure to keep things as neat and tidy as when I showed up— and their furry friends even more loved once I leave! My own pets are the most important little critters in the world to me, and I will treat your pets as they are my own whilst I watch them! As an aspiring zoology major, I hope to use pet sitting as a way to further knowledge myself and satisfy my love for animals. We have a fenced yard, that wraps around stables we used to use for our goats, it's spacious and my own dogs use it quite often even though they're off-leash trained! We have two friendly pups to keep your fur babies happy and well played with. We also have friendly cats as well!
