Dog Boarding in West Bayside, Portland, ME

“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 was wonderful! Our boy, King had a happy long weekend with Sarah! She sent plenty of updates and photos and made it easy to get out of town and we didn’t feel rushed to return. We will happily leave our fur baby in her care again! Thank you Sarah for taking such good care of our boy!”

“Kelly was wonderful with Benji! She took great care of him and I felt confident that he was in good hands. It put me at ease when I was travelingz”

“Vicky was SO wonderful with Lola! This is the first time I’ve used Rover for boarding and I couldn’t be happier with how well Lola was cared for!”

“Viva is an amazing Dog Sitter. She took care of a relatively elderly dog with lots of medication’s beautifully with excellent communication and I plan to work with her again many thanks.”

“My dog Molly had such a great time spending the week with Lucy and Ike! Throughout the process they showed they cared very much for my furball by sending updates on how she was doing and I immediately felt like the pup was in safe hands when I met them.”

“Karli is the best! We trust her with our two big, very hyper & active dogs every time we go away. She does more than just feed and let them out, she always takes them on long walks, to the beach, dog park etc! We are starting to think they like her more than us! LOL you are in the very best hands leaving your pets with Karli! She treats them like family.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Kathleen and Dylan are so great with Luna! She is well cared for while in their care and taken on fun walks and to adventures to play with other dogs. Kathleen is very responsive and always keeps us up to date on Lunas stay. We definitely will be seeing her again soon!”

“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!”

“Great stay for Bennett. Anne and her sweet dogs were very welcoming. Her set-up with a fenced-in backyard is perfect. The photos and updates she sent let me see how my pooch was settling in comfortably. An excellent experience for both for me and for my dog.”

“I was nervous to leave Maisey for a whole week, but I felt comfortable after meeting Molly in person, and all the photo updates I received confirmed that Maisey had a good time. Highly recommend!”

“Kylie and John were absolutely amazing with Fenway! From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. She sent me regular photo updates, and it was clear he was happy, relaxed, and having a great time. I could tell he got plenty of love, attention, and playtime. Fenway will definitely be staying with them again in the future. Highly recommend!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Harrison was wonderful! We got pictures and updates throughout Bruschi's entire stay with Harrison. When we picked up Bruschi - he was happy and well adjusted!!”

“I have known Sheryl for decades, and she has always been a dog- (and cat-) lover. She has had many dogs over the years and they have all received exceptional care. She has a deep understanding of a dog's nature and how to make life comfortable for her canine friends. She also gives excellent advice when asked on how to help care for a dog. I believe she would be an excellent pet caregiver and I do not hesitate to recommend her.”

“Amy was great with my two Bernedoodles. I had a lot of anxiety leaving them and she made sure to send lots of pics that made me feel better. She was great at communicating and I would definitely board my dogs with her again.”

About: I am a Portland educator who loves to bike, hike, and adventure around town. I grew up with two large dogs and miss caring for pups! I am considering adopting a puppy, but before I do, I want to experience pet care more consistently. I am available for long walks, beach runs, and couch cuddles. I work until 3pm M-F, with some time around noon to walk and play. I will have much more flexibility this summer. I love to run after work! I love playing with dogs just as much as I love a good couch cuddle. Depending on the dog's personality, I am available for hanging at home or running on the beach.

“Elizabeth is awesome! We left our chihuahua with her for about 2 weeks while we were out of town, and we felt so comfortable knowing our little baby was in such a loving home, with someone who adores dogs as much as Elizabeth does! She sent us pictures, videos, and sweet little updates everyday, and we even had the opportunity to FaceTime with our little angel 🐾 We forgot to pack our dog’s winter coat, and it got quite cold, but Elizabeth had an extra coat that she bundled her in to make sure she was safe and warm on their walks through Evergreen. Also, our little pup gets nervous when we leave her and sometimes won’t eat because of it, but Elizabeth HAND FED her! And then she ate her whole dinner like that. Can you believe that? If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about how much Elizabeth cares, I don’t know what will. One more way that Elizabeth went above and beyond that really meant the world to us, was how flexible she was with scheduling. We had some unexpected very-last-minute changes to our trip, but Elizabeth was extremely accommodating, kind, and patient. She really had our back. Elizabeth is such a good person, and you can tell that she really cares about you, as well as your dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and above-and-beyond to take care of your beloved dog, look no further! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Elizabeth!”

“Annie was a godsend. She was able to look after my boy for a week on short notice, made time for an initial meet and greet, and was very patient with him (he can be an anxious boy). He absolutely adored her, and I was able to completely detach and know that my baby was in good hands while off on my work trip on the other side of the country. I will definitely be checking for Annie's availability in the future whenever I need a sitter, she's good people and she took such good care of my dog.”
