Doggy Day Care in Stroudwater, Portland, ME

“We visited Portland and David provided doggy day care for our senior toy poodle. David was super communicative and accommodating, and we think our dog enjoyed his day!”

“Rachel is so accommodating and a great communicator! Took wonderful care of my bulldog”

“Susan is a wonderful communicator and we loved all the photos she shared during two days of doggy daycare! She was very attentive and took great care of our Cash! Highly recommend anyone who is looking for a great dog caregiver in the Portland area because she goes above and beyond. Her and her dog Blue are great caregivers!”

About: I have experience with cats, dogs, and bunnies. I always grew up with dogs and have several years of experience taking care of family and friends dogs. We have three cats who are siblings currently. We planned on adopting one cat but we could not split up the litter so we adopted them all 😀 they love other animals and are extremely friendly. I just graduated from dental hygiene school and am currently waiting for my license to go through. I will have all of May available and plan on starting work Monday - Thursday in June. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a large back yard. We are walking distance from a large park. I have a vehicle as well so am always willing to drive for a hike or a beach. I am very active so any excuse to be outside is great, especially with a furry friend 🐶

“We had a wonderful experience leaving our dog Willow with Alma! She was very communicative before and during the booking which always makes the Rover process feel easier and more reassuring. Alma’s dog, Birdy, is super sweet as well. Willow seemed comfortable right away and according to Alma settled in more as the day went on. Great yard, deck for doggie lounging and overall set up from the house (super easy to see the yard from most parts of the downstairs). We will definitely book again. Highly recommend!”

“Emilia took great care of my dog Louie who is a bit nervous around new people. Communication was great and I could tell my little guy felt very comfortable with her. Would 10/10 recommend!”

“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have had a better experience with Johanna. We felt completely at peace leaving our furbaby with her! Definitely recommend!”

“Christine is excellent from start to finish! She is a fast and thorough communicator. I was so appreciative of her willingness to accommodate Vivian last minute. She made sure to keep me in the loop with detailed updates and I know Vivian had a blast under her care. Thanks Christine and we will for sure reach out again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes since I was a teenager. I love getting outside with them and know that a well walked and properly stimulated dog is also a happy and well behaved dog. I also love taking pictures of them so you can be sure to receive regular updates on your pal. Depending on your dogs diet, I love to get creative with things like meal toppers and stimulating treats (shaved carrots, peanut butter, unsalted bone broth etc.)! I work from home so pet sitting allows me to have a buddy for my walks and be attentive to the dog in my care :) For boarding, your dog will have a designated open area for their bed/crate where they can hang. Pets are welcome on furniture, but I’m happy to abide by whatever rules you have at home for consistency.

“Our pup had a great time with Sarah. Sarah communicated well and was flexiable with us when we finished our day early and asked to grab sequoia early. We defined recommend Sarah and will reach out for our future trips to the Portland area!”

“Sarah was very responsive even when I booked the night ahead! This was my first time booking through rover and Sarah would definitely be my first choice again! She gave me updates often throughout the evening and told me how our Pika was doing. Thank you Sarah!”

“Alexa is a phenomenal pet owner. I always have her watch my dog when I go out of town on business and she does an amazing job every single time, even watching my dog for days at a time if needed.”

“Gigi has stayed at our home with our dogs multiple times. She is an exceptional person and I highly recommend her services. Gigi is caring, responsible, smart and fun! I always rest easy knowing Gigi is in charge.”

About: I grew up on a horse farm and have many years of pet care experience ranging from puppy to elder dog care, as well as cat and horse care. I have offered private pet sitting and dog walking services throughout the years.I am first aid certified and have participated in some basic dog training classes.My family and I have a two year old Border Collie who loves to share his space with other dog friends. I currently have a flexible weekday work schedule and open weekends that I would love to fill the gaps with taking care of your loved one. I have a partially fenced in yard on a dead end street and have a two year old Border Collie to keep your pet company. We are happy to make trips to the beach during dog friendly hours and live close to many walking trails for outdoor adventures. We also have a very dog educated 9 year old kid who loves to give pup snuggles just as much as we do!

“Sent updates all day and was very responsive! Super happy with our day care experience with Nicole, and would recommend her to everyone!”

“Rachel and her children were so wonderful with Reynard. Rachel sent frequent updates, pictures, and videos during his stay. Reynard came back home a happy boy. We would definitely recommend Rachel and book with her again”

“Gwen not only loves animals but also has extensive experience caring for them. She was employed as a vet tech for several years and even worked with marine animals. She has cared for our dogs on several occasions, and we highly recommend her. Your animals will love her!”

“Roy and Simone has watched our Dog Son for us multiple times, and every time it has been a thorough reminder for how blessed we are to have such friends and neighbors. They show a remarkable amount of care, patience, and attention with our pets and very clearly love animals. I am very comfortable trusting them with our fur babies; they are very responsive, responsible, and have experience raising and spending time with animals of different personalities. Their home is pet safe and they are active and appropriately careful and attentive to animals and their needs. You would have a hard time finding a nicer couple to watch over your four legged family member.”

“Savannah was fantastic in taking in our pup for a last minute daycare stay. She was responsive, caring, flexible and so great with our girl Phoebe! Our pup is needy, anxious and a bit quirky but Savannah was great with her. Would absolutely use her again!”

“Zola was so great! We were in town for a special dinner and requested her to dog sit last minute. She was super easy to communicate with, attentive, and took great care of our dog for the evening. Definitely recommend her for your pet caretaking needs.”
