I couldn t have asked for a better sitter for my girl Daisy! Jill sent a ton of photos and videos throughout the week and gave Daisy so much love and attention. I felt at total ease knowing she was in great hands. Thank you!!

Jill was an excellent sitter for our dog Buddie. She took him for walks, gave him lots of TLC, and made him comfortable staying with her as he has separation anxiety. She kept me posted with photos and updates.

Bark in the Park

This annual event is an opportunity take your dog out to the ball game to cheer and wag on the Portland Sea Dogs at Hadlock Field. Every dog and human needs their own ticket, which includes a furry fundraising parade around the field before the game led by Slugger, the Sea Dogs mascot. Dogs and their humans will have seats in a designated dog-friendly section in left-field. The doggie fans can even splash around with their canine friends in a wading pool. All proceeds benefit the continued efforts of the Planet Dog Foundation to support various dedicated dog charities and organizations!

Willard Beach

Does your paw-some pal enjoy running through the waves and digging in the sand? Willard Beach is a public beach just 5 minutes outside of Portland open to powwowing with your carefree canines! May-September, dogs can romp and play from 7 to 9 am. The rest of the year, they are welcome anytime! All off-leash dogs must be under voice control. This beach is a great place for pups to socialize, splash in the sea, chase balls along the shore, roll in the sand, and cool off on a hot day! Be sure to keep a close eye on your dog and clean up after them in order to keep this beach friendly to everyone!
