Dog Boarding in Swanville, ME

“Jessica is amazing! She was incredibly flexible with schedule changes, provided tons of updates and pictures, even for a short stay. I can’t thank her enough for the peace of mind she is given me.”

“In August, we adopted our 6-year-old rescue, Dwight, and were initially nervous about leaving him with someone new while we went on a family trip. Thankfully, we found Ann, and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made! Ann cared for Dwight for 7 nights, and throughout that time, she kept us updated with daily photos, messages, and videos of Dwight cuddling, resting, and getting his walks in. Not only did Ann take amazing care of Dwight, but she also helped work on his leash manners, teaching him to walk more calmly by our side. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Dwight was safe, happy, and in such loving hands. Since we’ve been back, Dwight lights up every time she sees Ann when we go on our walks —it’s clear he adores her! We’re so grateful for Ann’s care and can’t recommend her highly enough to other pet parents.”

“Autumn was flexible and she sent pics of my pup which made me feel better about leaving her with Autumn. Her home appeared well kept and my pup enjoyed playing with her pup!”

“Upon meeting Joseph and Nieves while dropping Lucy off, I knew she’d be in great hands. Lucy loved them both immediately and felt right at home. Joseph and Nieves have a beautiful home that is totally dog friendly. You instantly feel their genuine love for dogs as soon as you walk in. Joseph went above and beyond by sending lots of photos and videos of Lucy and I can’t express enough how amazing it feels to be worry free when leaving your beloved dog with someone, especially overnight. Lucy had a wonderful experience and I cannot recommend Joseph highly enough! I will definitely be leaving Lucy again in Joseph and Nieves’ loving care.”

“Really appreciate Alex watching our pup for the night. He's doesn't get along with most other dogs, but Alex had no issue keeping him separated from her dogs and handled his care with experience and ease. Nice to know he was in good hands! Thank you!”

“Gael and Bridget were great taking care of Lola. Along with their daughter, Gael and Bridget provided a warm welcoming and loving home for Lola's stay. Lola also loved playing with their dog Selkie at the house, fenced in backyard and nearby beach! We highly recommend Gael and Bridget!”

About: I have had experience with pets since I was I child, my family and I love all kind of pets , I am from Costa Rica so I always had a pet in my house and around from friends and family. I am available most of the time, I am super open to work holidays, weekends and nights, just contact me before booking to check availability. I have my own farm house in Swanville Maine, a very quiet and very peaceful place without many neighbors around, perfect for pets and very near from Belfast.

“Bailey was absolutely amazing. Kept me updated and worked with my 10 week old puppy to keep her routine and even progress her training progress. Definitely recommend.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a child, both in my own home and for friends and neighbors. I’ve always had a natural connection with dogs and am very in tune with their needs. I now have a sweet and playful Morkie puppy of my own who loves making new friends, so your dog will have a built-in buddy if they enjoy canine companionship! I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and getting to know their unique personalities. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved-just like family, while you’re away. I’m a homemaker with a very open and flexible schedule, which means I’m home throughout the day and available to give your dog plenty of attention, care, and companionship. Whether your pup needs frequent potty breaks, playtime, or just a calm presence nearby, I’m able to accommodate their routine and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I create a calm, loving, and safe environment where dogs can feel right at home. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs and take special care to ensure their comfort and safety at all times. While my yard is not fenced, I always take dogs out on a leash for fresh air, bathroom breaks, and walks as often as needed. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or a quiet place to relax, I’m dedicated to making sure your pup feels secure, cared for, and happy during their stay. I also share my home with a small, quiet cat who keeps to her own gated-off area, so your dog will still have their own peaceful space without feline surprises.

“I can't say enough good things about Jess! I was really nervous about leaving my dog with someone for the first time, but she made me feel so comfortable. From the moment I dropped him off, it was clear that she genuinely cares for animals. She treated my dog like her own, giving him plenty of attention and love. She sent me regular updates and photos, which really made me happy to see him throughout his stay. He seemed so happy and content when I picked him up, and I could tell he had a great time. I will absolutely be booking with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”

“Elizabeth is such a caring, attentive sitter. It is clear she really loves animals. She sent tons of updates and photos. She was also very flexible and easy to communicate with regarding pick up and drop off. I hope to have my dog stay with her again in the future!”

About: I love dogs (and cats) more than anything! I am happy to treat your fur babies to the finest care during the day, overnight, while you are on vacation, or once in awhile for walks, hikes, check ins, at your place or mine! A popular request this summer has been from folks on visiting who would like me to day sit at their campground/rv/hotel/air bnb while they enjoy the park, biking, boating or going out to eat. For boarding, My husband and I have a wonderful centrally located home in the Acadia region off the island. We have a fenced in yard and can take the stress out of leaving your pets while on vacation. Pick up and drop off can be arranged at the head of the island if requested. Wedding or event coming up? I can be your pets chaperon then too, just ask :) Need to exercise your pup? Mini day hikes available too- custom fit for your pups comfort. This summer I am taking a sabbatical to my career job which means more hiking, walks and freedom to spend time with your pet- with flexible scheduling :) While my home offers a wonderful spacious lawn and garden area for the pups with a secure 4' ht enclosed fence, pets are never left unattended in the area. Happy to board with your routine in mind in terms of crating or free range of our home and total pampering. Pet sitting at your home is welcome too!

About: I know that every pet has their own needs and own personalities. I have been working with high energy dogs, older dogs, small dogs for years now. Remaining flexible with each individual animals needs. Friends have called me when they will be away for long weekends, I’m very flexible and am here to make sure your dogs, cats and any other pets are taken care of so you can enjoy your vacations, long weekends, nights out, whatever it may be. I am currently in school part time and I work as a house cleaner on the days that I do not have school. I typically work 6 hours a day (3 hours a house), having time to stop and check on doggies in between houses and in between classes as well. I have a beautiful family at home so on the weekends I typically like to spend time with them, while checking on the pups throughout the day and staying overnight with the pups! My partner, his 6 year old son, our Corgi Coffee and I have made the decision to open our home up for boarding allowing us to all care and love on the pups while also being able to have more quality family time together. While at the home of other pets I try and make the pet feel as comfortable as possible while their owners are away, making sure to keep their routines about the same. I will have owners leave instructions of care for me, along with feeding times, if they have any silly personality traits or triggers, leave any medications they may need, etc. I always make sure to know where the food, toys, leash and treats are. In my own home, owners can bring crates if needed, animals can sleep in our bed or owners can bring their doggie beds. We have a large backyard, but it is not fenced in, we currently have one lead we use for doggies, and owners can also bring their own. Feeding time will stay to what the dogs are use to and owners should leave instructions for care/routines for me so even though they’re in a new space, they have some consistency with their schedules!

“Our dog loved staying here!”

“Debbie watched our dog on two days while we enjoyed the park and Bar Harbor. She has a perfect setup at her new home for taking care of your dog. She sent pictures throughout the day and was very considerate of my dog’s needs and making sure she was comfortable. Definitely recommend to others!”
