Pet Boarding York Beach

“Kelsey took care of our boy this weekend and she was absolutely amazing. She kept in touch with us, sent pictures and took great care of him. He even made a new friend! I highly recommend Kelsey and will absolutely book with her again!”

About: I'm an experienced house and pet sitter with 30+ completed sits along the East Coast through TrustedHousesitters and personal referrals. Testimonials here: ........ I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, including senior pets, animals with anxiety or trauma histories, and pets with special needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines. What you can expect: I learn each animal's routine rather than applying one approach to every pet. I send daily photo updates. I'm naturally tidy and leave homes clean and calm, and I'm glad to look after plants or a garden while I'm there. A few practical notes, so we can both tell early whether it's a good fit: 1. Meet & greet before every first booking. I require a video call or an in-person visit so we can both assess fit. You get to meet me and ask whatever you need to; I get to meet your pet and see the space. Until we've had that conversation, please treat my response as interest rather than a confirmed booking, and keep your other options open. I won't accept a booking before a meet and greet for house sitting. 2. Weekday availability. I see clients on video Monday through Friday, 10a–4p. I'm in the home the whole time, so your pets get frequent short breaks and company throughout the day, but I'm not available for walks or errands during those hours. I am able to support potty breaks during the 12:00-1:00pm hour. 3. Workspace. I need a desk or table at standard height with a supportive chair — not a dining chair, stool, couch, or bed — in a room with a door that closes, plus wifi that reliably holds a video call. I bring my own laptop, monitor, and stand, so I only need the surface and the space. My sessions are confidential, so I can't be interrupted or overheard once I'm on. If you're unsure whether your setup works, a quick video walkthrough settles it in two minutes. 4. Pets I care for. Calm adult dogs and cats. I'm not currently accepting puppies under a year, and I'd want to talk first about dogs with a bite history, special medical needs, or significant reactivity. 5. Service area. Based in the Portsmouth/Eliot area; I generally take bookings within about 25 miles. 6. Notice. At least two days for new clients, and more when possible for longer stays. Tell me about your pet — their routines, quirks, and what makes them feel safest. I'd love to hear it! I work from home with structured hours, which allows me to be available for walks, feeding, medication schedules, playtime, and companionship at certain times of the day, roughly every 3-4 hours. My approach is calm and intentional. I honor your pet’s established rhythm and do my best to create a grounded environment that feels like home. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is to maintain a sense of safety, routine, and calm. I take time to learn your pet’s unique routines, preferences, and personality so I can offer care that feels familiar. In the home, I’m quiet, clean, and respectful of your space. I aim to leave things just as I found them—or better. I water plants, bring in mail, manage light tidying, and keep things running smoothly so you can return home with ease. I also provide thoughtful updates with photos and check-ins, so you feel connected while away.

About: I have had my dog for over 9 years. She is very good with others. I have a fenced in backyard, and a doggy door of the screened porch. When we are home during the day in good temperatures, the door to the house will be open giving dogs the freedom of where they want to relax or play. I am currently a stay at home Mom to my wonderful twins therefore I have a pretty flexible schedule I can work around, especially if it avoids the kids naps. I have a fenced in backyard that is connected to the house via a screened in porch so there are many options of where to hang out. At night everyone is inside.

“Juno had a great experience with Lorenzo while I was away . He is attentive , professional, experienced and communicated great with texts , pictures and videos . Juno will be back to play with Vito . I highly recommend him !”

“Hannah did such a great job with our German shepherd, I’m so glad we found her and we will definitely use her going forward! Great communication and very pleasant to deal with! Thanks so much for taking great care of our girl!”

Kimberly C.

“Stella loved her stay with Denise. Denise sent me photos and updates on Stella. I would definitely recommend Denise to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur baby while away. It’s important to know they are being well cared for, and Stella was. We will use Denise again in the future for our pet sitting needs 🐶”

“Katie was great with drop off and pickup. She administered Clover’s meds and was quick to get back to me when I communicated with her. She was also very flexible with my late pickup when plans changed, and I really appreciate that.”

Aimee L.

“Ziggy was well cared for and came back happy after another great stay with Kyle and Kaleigh. There were highly responsive and flexible with drop off and pick up times, etc. highly recommend!”

Gabrielle A.

“I was a nervous first time boarder and couldn’t have been more at ease leaving my two pups with Mike. He’s very easy going and obviously loves dogs! Mine took to him right away and I was able to enjoy a great vacation without a worry in the world!”

“I looked many hours for the right family to leave our Westie, Piper, with during a trip to Europe. When I met Donna and Roland at their home in Newbury, I felt so good about their experienced background with dogs. They advertised that they would allow a small dog to sleep in their bed which is what Piper is use to so this was another perk for Piper. Their home is very dog friendly and I loved the way they decorated it, inside and outside. Piper needed some extra meds while we were away and they followed all the instructions for her. When we picked her up, she was very relaxed and we knew she had a good vacation away from home. (Previously, we had people stay with her at our home.) She got to visit with another dog and a cat that lives with Donna and Roland, walked places that she had never walked before with Roland and was lovingly cared for by them. It was so good to see her so happy and content when we arrived to take her home. We will continue to book with Donna from now on and are so grateful for people like them who love her as we do. A+ to a wonderful care-free experience !!!”

Donna W.

“Birdie came back happy and healthy! We so appreciate the kind care she received with Audrey and Zachary. They were responsive and flexible! Thanks!”

About: I've always had a natural connection with dogs since childhood. Dogs have always gravitated to my calm energy and ability to sense their needs. Your dog will not just be taken care of but will feel safe like they're spending time with an old friend. Retired computer nerd and musician available for dog walking and house visits most days of the week. Some dogs are welcome in our home with fenced in yard and 5 y.o. yellow lab Norma for playtime and companionship. My wife and I live in a wooded area in York with a large fenced in back yard. We are both retired and home most of the day to keep an eye on the pups. I am available for long or short visits to your home for dog walks and exercise to suite your needs. I am an avid walker and walk daily. I am fully insured with pet sitting/walking insurance.

“Sheila took great care of Orlando. She was sweet to send me pictures of his adventures. She was great at communicating and followed the care instructions well.”

Anne M.

“Minnie Pearl had a wonderful stay with Austin and family! It's clear she was relaxed and enjoying herself. The photos and messages throughout the process were so reassuring. We'll definitely book them in the future!”

Bridgett O.

“Katie was great about sending me pictures and updating me on the pet stay. My dog is pretty easy but my cat is old and has some health issues. Katie took great care of both of them and was not the least phased by the cats challenges. Will happily use her for pet care again!”

Michelle W.

“Carmen was kind and understanding with our dog. And overall just seems like a very nice person. She worked with us on dropoff and pickup and was pretty flexible. Figo seemed to have a lot of fun with her. She has a nice house and overall it seemed she lived in a dog friendly neighborhood so definitely recommend boarding with her.”

Arjo S.

“Our pup had a great stay with Courtney while we were away. She gave updates and sent pics which we loved. I highly recommend her for pet sitting.”

Lisa M.

“Jasmine is kind, shared updates and pictures and asked questions to ensure the best care for my pup. My puppy loved her and felt comfortable around her dog.”

Brittney C.

“Jennifer is an absolute gem. Our pup had fun playing with her and Jennifer made sure to call both the emergency vet and us when he got into some cupcakes. She was just as worried about his well being as us and kept watch. You can count on her to be responsible and take care of your precious furry family members!”

About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was little. I had cats at home and started horseback riding when I was six. Now, I am living in New Hampshire for 3 years, with my husband, our two dogs, our cat... only our mare stayed in France. I do not work, so I am available to take care of your pets. I can groom them, administer medicine (with clear instructions), walk them or just cuddle them. I may be out 4 hours max for my english lessons. We moved to the United States for my husband's job; I don't work, so I would be delighted to look after your babies as if they were my own. I take English classes twice a week in the morning, but I am completely free the rest of the time. At my home, your dogs will be treated just like mine, with access to the garden and unlimited playtime and naps. Introductions to my own dogs will be handled gently—especially with Flack, who can take a little time to warm up but is used to meeting plenty of doggy friends back in France. At your home, I will follow your instructions; since my English isn't perfect yet, please feel free to leave written notes.
