Salty Dog

Salty Dog is a dog daycare and boarding facility at 251 US Route 1 Suite A in Falmouth, Maine. It takes dogs for daytime play and for overnight stays. Anyone searching for dog boarding in Falmouth gets both under one roof, along with grooming and private suites. The play areas cover more than 10,000 square feet indoors and out, with playground equipment and splash pools.

Services and amenities

• Overnight sleepovers, in open space or a private suite
• Full-service baths, nail trims, and Furminator brush-outs
• Adventure outings and enrichment add-ons
• Flexible drop-off and pickup times

What makes it different

Staffing is the clearest thing. Play groups run at a low staff-to-dog ratio, averaging about 1:10, and staff are certified in canine CPR and first aid. That ratio matters most in group play, where a handler has to read a whole room of dogs at once.

Overnight guests come home with a report card and a photo from the day. Owners get a sense of how the day actually went. Grooming happens on site, so a bath or nail trim can be part of a longer stay.

Practical details

Hours run 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, and 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. The 6:30 AM opening covers early drop-offs. Boarding is listed at $70 per night on the Salty Dog website. Booking is by phone at 207-781-9003.
