Doggy Day Care in Steep Falls

About: I live alone with no pets but miss having my own. I do travel and play golf so I don't want to own a pet at the moment but I miss having a dog or cat around. I have a flexible schedule and even better is your pet likes to ride in the car for short errands or a trip to the lake or the park. I have a nice yard in a quite neighborhood where I can walk a dog on a leash. Bright, clean and sunny home in Windham.

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: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong passion for animals, combined with a professional background in caregiving. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets—from fish and hamsters to rabbits, turtles, hedgehogs and of course, dogs. My original childhood dream of becoming a veterinarian eventually led me to earn degrees in both biology and nursing. Today, I’m a registered nurse, and while I take pride in caring for people, I find even greater joy in caring for animals. I’m a dedicated dog-mom to two doodles we raised from puppyhood, so I’m well-versed in potty training, clicker training, crate training, and using positive reinforcement. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs and pets with medical needs thanks to my nursing background. When your pet stays with us, they’ll be treated like family—free to relax indoors with us and our dogs or enjoy quiet time in a private space if they prefer. They’ll have daytime access to our yard and regular walks on the nearby nature trails to keep them happy and stimulated. My goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and enriching environment where your pet feels at home. I currently have a flexible schedule allowing pet care to be my #1 priority! I have recently relocated to Maine with my husband to settle down on our forever home & property. We live in a dog-friendly household on 2.6 acres. My home has a big back yard, bordering on woodlands, and is adjacent to a bird sanctuary with dog-friendly walking trails. I am spending some time improving my home and property before going back to work full-time as an RN. I will be caring for my two dogs during this time and feel I have the capacity to add several more pets to my space and routine. I have the flexibility to plan my day around feedings, nature walks, and yard play time for the dogs. This will be balanced with rest periods inside my air-conditioned home. Inside, the dogs will roam freely and have access to water bowls, dog beds, couches, and open crates - allowing them to choose where they feel most comfortable. I have two well trained and friendly doodles who would love to walk and play with your dog if he/she likes to play! (Personalized care plans available for more shy dogs who would not enjoy being around my dogs all the time **Any dogs receiving day care or boarding at my home must be non-hostile with other dogs so that my dogs will not be bitten or harmed.) We do not have any children or other pets in the household. I offer care to dogs at my home for doggy day-care and overnight boarding/sitting. I will send you (at least) daily photo updates and communicate with you promptly. That way you can rest easy and enjoy your day or vacation knowing your fur-babies are in good hands with me at my home!

About: About five years ago, I began fostering animals—mostly dogs—and quickly discovered how much I enjoy spending time with them. Since then, I've fostered dozens of dogs of various sizes and breeds. Each one has had their own unique and often hilarious personality. Fostering comes with its own set of challenges, especially building trust with an animal in a short amount of time. Over the years, I’ve done a considerable amount of training, as pets with basic obedience skills are more likely to be adopted. I work from home and understand how important—and sometimes difficult—it is to find someone reliable to care for your pet. I'm highly communicative, and my goal is to give you peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pet is being cared for with the utmost attention and love. I live in a great suburban neighborhood that’s perfect for dog walks and playtime. I am a remote employee for a tech company and have a very flexible schedule. I work out of a clean room with a lovely patio off from it that overlooks the backyard. Because of my work schedule, I’m flexible to look after pets with differing needs, walk schedules etc. I don’t have any pets or young children in my home, so visiting or boarding pets get my full attention in a calm, quiet environment. My top priority is making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. When pets stay with me, I stick closely to their usual routine—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, or administering any medications. I know how important consistency is, especially when they're in a new environment. If I’m caring for a pet in their own home, I treat the space with respect and follow all instructions carefully to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible for the pet. I’m very communicative and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is 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.

“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!”
