THE JOAKIM’S

Fetch ‘n Fun is located on 20 acres just off of Route 9 in Wells, ME. It is owned and operated by John and Susan Joakim who designed the daycare as an extension of their home. The Joakim’s maintain the philosophy that dogs are family and are happiest in an environment that is a “home-away-from-home”.

Kokeano, a Hungarian Vizsla and Co-Founder of Fetch ‘n Fun, came into the Joakim’s lives in 2002 and is the reason Fetch ‘n Fun is in existence. After 9/11, John’s Army unit was sent to Kuwait. One week before John left, Kokeano joined the family. While John was away, Susan searched for boarding and daycare options for Kokeano and found that the options were limited. She was fortunate to find a daycare, but it was far from home. The experience was so good for Kokeano, that when John got back home, he and Susan decided to open their own daycare to serve the local community.

At Fetch 'n Fun we strive to make a dog's day; a day in paradise. We pride ourselves on providing ample opportunity for dogs to exercise and socialize, balanced with a priority on safety. Currently, Fetch ‘n Fun offers daycare and boarding.

John & Susan’s daughter, Nicolette, would visit the daycare after school when she was 12 years old, and she’s been with us ever since.
