Boarding is $75 a night. Your pet stays in a sitter’s home and lives with the household, sleeping in the house rather than in a kennel run. We board in two places: Milford and Portland.

Milford

Milford is Lindsay’s home, and she has pets of her own. Boarders here need to get along with dogs and cats. There are also rodents in the house, so a boarding animal can’t be overly aggressive toward them. A baby gate closes off the rodent area, and we expect your pet not to jump it.

Portland

The Portland home is quieter, with far fewer animals. It suits pets who are shy, older, or don’t do well with other dogs and cats.

What to bring

  • Enough food for the whole stay, plus a couple of extra days in case plans change
  • Medications, labeled, with written instructions
  • Leash, collar or harness with ID tags
  • A bed or blanket that smells like home
  • Your vet’s name and number

Every boarder has a meet and greet first, and for Milford that includes meeting the resident animals. If it’s not a good fit, we’ll say so and suggest overnight sitting at your home instead.

Additionally, we do have a cancellation policy. For our weekly clients, we require 24 hour notice. Exceptions can be made by discretion. Should the client cancel within this time frame, the full amount for services are due.

For services that are non-weekly, we require 2 weeks notice for there to be no extra fee (a 25% non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking). If canceled after two weeks but before one week in advance, 50% total will be due. Anything within one week of the booking will require the full amount.
