Dog Boarding in South Portland

“Kelly was the perfect sitter for our Winnie! Winnie stayed with Kelly for 2 days and 1 night. Kelly and Winnie bonded immediately and she was totally comfortable in the home. Lots of walks, play time and snuggles! Kelly sent us many photos and catered to Winnie's every need. She will definitely be staying with Kelly again in the future! Highly recommended!”

“Ryan was great with Junior! He communicates well and clearly likes dogs. He’s also really punctual so it makes the pick up and drop off seamless.”

“Louise is so happy getting out of the car at Elisabeth’s. She is so well cared for and Elisabeth always sends updates of what she’s up to and how much fun she’s having. So grateful to Elisabeth and highly recommend her and her sweet dogs!!”

“Sarah took care of Ginger for a week. She not only exceeded my expectations, Ginger was very happy too. Ginger was not as excited to see me as much as she usually does since she adapted so well to Sarah. I plan to use Sarah again.”

“Anderson communicated well, and returned a very happy puppy to me.”

“Another fabulous visit with Viva! Nova always comes home so happy and tired, and we appreciate Viva’s flexibility and knowledge! She always goes above and beyond - we appreciate you!”

“Look no further! Kathleen was the most welcoming host to Lu - she was flexible with the drop off/pick up times, took Lu on a different activity every day, and sent us pictures and videos to keep us in the loop throughout the weekend. Luna looked healthy, happy, and at ease when we arrived back. Thank you Kathleen, Mila, and Cosmo!”

“Finn had a wonderful vacation with Victoria and Magic. He is so tired! She took him on outings and treated him like part of the family. I appreciated her efforts to keep in contact through pictures of their activities. I will definitely use her services again.”

“Rose was amazing! We feel so fortunate to have come across Rose on Rover. We immediately felt comfortable entrusting her with our Maggie. Rose kept us up to date with cute photos and messages throughout Maggie’s stay. She handled Maggie and all her issues with ease and a smile. She even won our stubborn Maggie’s affectation which is high praise from Maggie! I would 100% use Rose’s service again and recommend her to everyone.”

“Annie was incredible with our dogs, as was her communication with us throughout their stay. We look forward to working with her in the future and I'm so sure the dogs will be excited to see her again!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Alma, who invited our Whoopie into her home and family. When possible, Alma also arranges a meet and greet before the stay to ensure a good fit. Thank you so much Alma! We hope we can meet again and reunite dogs and people.”

“My dog (Beesly) had the most wonderful time with Pam! Beesly can be nervous in new situations, but Pam put her right at ease and made the entire experience completely seamless. She picked Beesly up from my apartment at the beginning of her stay and dropped her back off at the end, and even brought my mail in for me. She took Beesly on beautiful walks (and was very mindful of Beesly's nervousness on-leash), she let Beesly get comfy at her home, and she sent me many sweet updates during their weekend together. Couldn't be happier to have found Pam!”

“I can't recommend Emma enough! It was a last minute booking to give our pup a break from the Thanksgiving crowd. Emma was responsive and communicated frequently. She even took our dog in a road race!”

“Molly and her partner have a great set-up for dogs and their own friendly pups! They’re communicative and responsible and we have no doubt Chexmix had a great time. Would use again in a heartbeat”

“Kylie & John watched my dog Kate for two weeks and I could tell by the photos and text updates that she was relaxed and comfortable in their home. They are very easy going and caring; real dog lovers who understand dog behavior. When I picked up Kate, she was calm and seemingly happy. I was too, knowing that she was in the best of care while I was away. Thank you Kylie and John! Kate hopes to stay with you again.”

About: I have experience training younger pups all the way through to caring for senior dogs that require a bit more love and attention (special dietary needs, heartworm treatments, etc). While I'm mostly familiar with dogs, I also have experience caring for cats as well! I am very flexible and would be happy to take care of your family friend any day of the week! I am typically available mornings, afternoons, and (some) evenings. Your pet’s safety and comfort are top priorities. I’ve created a calm, pet-friendly home where pets can relax, explore, and feel at ease—whether they're curling up for a nap or sniffing out a new favorite spot. I keep my space clean, cozy, and free of hazards, and I always follow any care instructions to the letter. Whether I’m walking your dog or hosting them in my home, I take their well-being seriously. I’m gentle, attentive, and never distracted—I’ll keep a close eye on their behavior, energy, and comfort. I’ll check that collars and harnesses fit securely, double-check gates and doors, and will only introduce your pet to new environments with caution and care.

“Daisy is a bit nervous and shy at first, and has the high energy of her breed, a mini-Australian Shepherd. Anne B. was able to make her feel right at home and did a fantastic job of caring for her. This was a trial run and we look forward to leaving Daisy in Anne!s care for longer periods.”

“Rich was fantastic. Incredibly responsive and you can tell how much he loves dogs. Rigby made himself right at home and I will absolutely book with Rich again. Can't recommend enough!!”

“Lawson and his family took great care of my senior greyhound! I could tell from the daily pictures Lawson sent that he was settling in well and having a good time. We could not have been more pleased!”

“Andrew clearly has knowledge re dogs and cared for Milo as if he was his own. He is upbeat, experienced, professional and a pleasure to work with. He took the time to find out quirks and pertinent details about Milo, which I appreciated! I feel safe dropping my little guy off with Andrew for a day or an extended stay. Milo looks forward to seeing him soon!”
