Doggy Day Care in West Buxton

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: *Please note my profile had been deactivated from 2019 to October 2025 while I built my family and had children, so you will not see any reviews during that time. I have taken care of a few dogs and cats in that time when it worked around my kids schedule and am happy to provide those references if you wish. I work from home with a very flexible work schedule so I am available to care for your pets at all times for boarding or stop in for visits at most any time during the day I have a large fenced yard and a very friendly yellow lab who loves to play with others. All animals in our house are considered part of the family and I will take care of your pets as if they were mine.

“Bri watched my pup on relatively short notice on a holiday weekend. She was very responsive, provided lots of updates and pictures, and overall took great care of my energetic girl, and we even went home with some homemade dog treats! I definitely recommend her!”

Our own dog never found the right fit for large doggie daycare facilities so we can offer a calm home environment that's less chaotic but still fun.

“Anna was incredible with our puppy, Pippin! We had a great meet & greet with her where she was proactive about checking for any concerns that may come up with our dog. She was incredibly nice, communicative, and was available when we needed her. Whenever we need someone to host doggy day care again, Anna will be the first person we ask! Thank you, Anna!”

About: **FOR THE SAFETY OF MY PET AND YOURS: Please do not book with me unless you know your pet will be okay with a kitten! I’ve been taking care of animals since I was 8 years old. I currently have a 13 year old female cat and a 7 year old yellow lab as well as a 5 year old golden retriever all raised since being puppies/a kitten. With that being said they do not live with me as they stayed with my parents after I moved away from home so I currently only have a young kitten in my house! I also worked in a Doggie Daycare/ Boarding facility so I am good with all dog/cat breeds as well as administering any medications needed. I’m currently a stay at home fiancé with plenty of time to walk your fur baby as well as give them lots of cuddles and play time. I love walking outdoors and playing outside. I have a nice sized grass yard with lots of space for your fur baby’s to play and be able to use the bathroom. I also have spare rooms where your fur baby’s can go if feeling too overwhelmed and need space to themselves. They’re welcome on any furniture and will get lots of toys and pets! I am also open to getting any crates if you have a crate trained pup and will make any accommodations to help make sure what you’re training at home will stay the same with me!

“Michaela and her partner are amazing!!! Their dog Gus is extremely friendly and adorable. My dog had the best time there and was taken care of like she was their own (both for doggy day care and weekend boarding). She took her to the dog park multiple times, many walks, always providing updates and sending pictures. Super friendly, responsive, and responsible. Couldn’t recommend more.”

“Absolutely wonderful pet sitter. Marna was calm and patient with our little chihuahua, Miika. Miika was happy and relaxed when she was picked up. I highly recommend Marna and will definitely be using her services again.”

About: I’ve had dogs in my life as long as I can remember (32 years). Started with a Jack Russel, then a pitbull mix, and now have a wonderful 3.5 year old Canuncu mix rescued from Aruba! I work remotely and am home all day every day, and LOVE taking my dog out about once an hour, worst case once every 2! I’ve had two dogs since they’ve been puppies, and love the puppy phase - along with the older chilled out phase! I have dogsat for Huskies, Vizslas, Weimaraners, Mini Doodles, golden retrievers and Aussies! I truly enjoy playing and keeping dogs company, and feel guilty when any dogs are left to their own and ignored. I have 24hr 7 days a week attention to give, I work from home and am always able to use my dogs as an excuse to step away from the desk! On the second floor of an apt, so getting the dogs ready and taking out for a walk/just some fresh air is very easy! Usually take my dog out 4-5 times a day, and one of those is a long walk. I have a dog friendly apt, with a walking route and grass used daily! I am in the old port area, and love taking dogs around town for their walks! I make sure to incorporate grassy areas for their relief!

“Our rescue pup Cora has been so well cared for by Alma + Birdy + family - we are so grateful for fun filled days playing in their backyard, going on walks, and chilling while we are at work.”

Sarah S.

“Lindsay is fantastic. She has been a lifesaver with our new pup. He always comes home happy and tired, and Lindsay always gives great updates so I know exactly how our pup has been throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend her more.”

Lucy

“They were incredible... My dog is going through a shy phase and they couldn't have been kinder with him. They sent pics throughout the day and updates and the home and the yard were perfect for a dog to have a super fun day. These are seriously good people and we'll be using them again whenever we're in the area. The perfect family to leave your furry loved one with.”

Mike F.

“Emily and Kieran took a very good care of our dog! They were very accomodating even on the last minute notice, and were very flexible on the timing, which we really appreciate :) They took Ohsam out for a walk several times, gave lots of loves and cuddles. I can see Ohsam had a great time with the family! Would recommend them during our next visit in Portland. Thank you!!”

“We needed a sitter last minute while on vacation and Sara saved the day. Our pup had an awesome day with Sara and her dog. We knew this because he was exhausted when we picked him. Sara is our go to now when we are in the area. Highly recommended!”
