Dog Boarding in Vassalboro, ME

“I left Pacey with Alyssa for a week and I'm so glad I did. Through the daily photos and videos it was obvious Pacey was having a great time running and playing in a large fenced in yard. When it was time to go home I almost had to nudge her into the car. If I'm ever in need again it'll be an easy decision to leave her with Alyssa, she's amazing and you know you've chosen the right place when your pet doesn't want to leave.”

“I was anxious about leaving my dog with someone else for the first time in a new state. Kelly went over and above the call of duty to make sure i felt in the loop. She came home tired and happy!”

“Alyx was wonderful to work with and we are very happy we found her! She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on Lucy's stay with messages and pictures. We were nervous leaving Lucy with a new sitter but feel confident that she was well cared for and given lots of one-on-one attention in her time with Alyx. We definitely recommend her!”

About: I am a former kennel attendant and grooming assistant as well as a dog mom to four rescue chihuahua mixes! I have experience with aggressive/reactive dogs, senior/hospice, and puppies. A motivated college student looking to earn extra income by doing what I love! I am available for boarding Friday through Monday at 12 pm. Daycare is available from 6 am - 6 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. I am available on all Holidays for boarding and daycare. I do not have a fenced in yard, however I do regular potty breaks/walks with harnesses. I also use potty pads regularly in the house (my dogs do not like to go outside in rain/heavy snow).

“Vanessa was wonderful to work with, and our sweet Jack seemed very comfortable and happy with her. We’ll absolutely be working with her again in the future!!”

“Jenn is amazing with all animal but she has a special way with dogs and horses. She had my dog for training for several months and when we got her back she was sad to leave but happy to be home. Jen loves animals and it shows with how she handles her own animals and how my dogs love seeing her when she is around they are in her care.”

“Lindsay was absolutely wonderful! Our dogs can be a bit of a handful but she handled them with ease. She sent daily updates and pictures, and let us know her plans so we were in the loop. I cannot express my gratitude enough, and will be using her again for our next trip.”

“Christina was very responsive to my initial request (especially important since we were in the position of booking last minute over a holiday weekend) and any follow-up questions. She provided daily updates and fabulous photos of my pup throughout his stay and made sure he had extra snuggles on his first night to help him adjust. I would definitely use Christina again!”

“Maddy is an excellent animal caretaker and a lover of all animals. She grew up with animals fostering as well as caring for her own, and now helps me take care of our menagerie at home. She is responsible and enthusiastic in her care of animals. You cannot go wrong booking her to care for your pets. :)”

“Emma has been our farm sitter of choice for years. At 16 years old, she was far more responsible than many older adults. She is capable, knowledgeable and willing to work. She clearly loves all animals and can handle difficult situations with a calm, cool head. I have the very highest regard for her!”

“Alex took great care of our lab. She communicated well, staying in touch with texts and pictures. We would definitely book another stay with Alex!”

“Took amazing care of my cat and sent lots of updates and pictures! Made the time away from my boy much more bearable :)”

“Repeating customer! Sarah is the best, full time mom and takes care of your babies like her own! Always replies right away and is totally on top of pictures and videos! We love coming to her, 10/10 recommend!!”

“Our Betty was taken care of so well with so much love! Deb was so great and understanding! Will definitely have her watch our Betty girl again when we go away!”

“Exactly who I needed, when I needed her. My little boy is a bit shy around a revolving cast of characters so traditional boarding wasn't for him. Sydney did a great job and kept me up to date with how he was doing while I was away.”

About: I’ve walked and cared for dogs and cats my whole life, including up to five at one time! I’ve also fostered over the years, with big and small dogs part of my past clients. Moved to Augusta earlier in 2023. I have a hybrid M-F work schedule, so weekends are generally best, but I can often make weekdays work. My neighborhood is not far from a dog park as well. I am in a 2-bedroom apartment that has a decent-sized grassy area outside in front. A few other dogs are in the apartment building. We’ve got an empty guest room if dogs and cats want more space to play and nap. Otherwise, I generally keep the bedroom and living room open.

“Tanya did such an amazing job! I will definitely use her again. She took my sweet boy in over Christmas and really went above and beyond to make him feel at home.”

“WE WERE VERY PLEASED OVERALL WITH THE CARE DOLLY RECEIVED WHILE WITH ROSE. SHE KEPT US INFORMED WITH TEXTING AND SENDING PICTURES OFTEN WHICH WAS QUITE COMFORTING AS THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE LEFT DOLLY OVERNIGHT. I WAS A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SIZE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DOLLY AND OLLIE BECAUSE DOLLY WILL OFTEN RUN WITH BIGGER DOGS BUT SHE SOMETIMES DOES NOT KNOW WHEN TO REST. I CERTAINLY WOULD USE ROSE AGAIN AND NO OFFENSE TO ROSE BUT I THINK WE MAY TRY ANOTHER SITTER WITH A SMALLER DOG THE NEXT TIME.”

“Arlo was so well cared for and Jaymi kept me up to the minute with photos and check ins. This was my first time leaving arlo with anyone for more than an hour and she was very patient and understanding of my separation anxiety. I would leave Arlo with her again in a heartbeat.”

“My dog loves her, very flexible”
