“Elisabeth makes Louise feel so welcome and at home. Louise is so excited to get out of the car there and I am so at ease knowing she is so well cared for. Highly highly recommend Elisabeth!”
“Kelly was wonderful with our dog Jimmy! She took him to the lake, and he had an absolute blast playing there. She kept us updated throughout the weekend, sending us updates with pictures and videos. He probably didn’t want to come home! We’ll definitely book Kelly again.”
“Our pup is a sensitive, nervous guy. Marna made sure he felt loved and at home. I could tell he was having fun with her family through the photos she sent. She filled us in each day and sent photos. 🤩 Will definitely use Marna again!”
“Treated my girl Stella like a princess the whole time and kept Oreo plenty amused. I don’t think they’ve ever come back to me healthier after staying over with a sitter for so long. Highly recommend”
“Cindy is a great sitter and boarder. She's super responsive in communicating and has a great environment to care for dogs. Kolbe had a great time boarding and Cindy sent us some great photo shots of him enjoying the other "doggos" in her care. Looking forward to having Kolbe there on our next overnight trip to Southern Maine!”
“Rachel was wonderful. Lots of updates and pictures which really put my mind at ease as an anxious dog mom! She made sure to ask lots of questions to make sure she knew how to care for him as I would. He came back happy but tired from all the walks! Would definitely book Rachel again 😊”
“Christina was amazing with our dog Winnie! It is very clear that Christina is a true animal lover. Winnie stayed with her for 7 nights at her home. This was the longest we have been away and Christina checked in regularly with pictures and updates. Winnie was able to go on a lot of puppy play dates and fun adventures with Christina. I highly recommend Christina - she is seriously awesome!”
“Our pups had a great stay with Austin and Francis and family! Our older girl can be a bit anxious but they all adjusted to her moods and we know they received so much love and cuddles just like they get at home. They stayed in touch and sent pictures and updates which was so comforting. Would absolutely book Austin and Francis again.”
“After our meet & greet, Shorty was so happy to go back to Vicky & Bobby's, he couldn't wait to get out of the car. They have a great house & awesome back yard perfect for dogs. Their dogs Magic & Brooklyn were great with Shorty, & he sometimes has problems with new dogs. Vicky sent me great pics every & really put my mind at ease, seeing Shorty livin the doggy life. Vicky even brought Shorty to work with her at the pet hospital where she works & I know he loved that. Travis, Bobby's brother was also really great & Shorty warmed up to him right away. Shorty is used to sleeping on the bed & they allowed that, and also figured out something yummy for him to eat when he wouldn't. I highly endorse Vicky & Bobby, & Shorty's looking forward to his next vacay!”
“Hemi is NEVER more excited then when we are pulling into Amanda's driveway! Amanda and her family are so sweet and I can tell that Hemi is treated with just as much love as her own.”
“Michaela was great with Barley for an evening so my wife and I could go to a festival. Even in the relatively short time, she sent multiple photos and videos of Barley clearly having a great time with Michaela, her partner, and her dog Gus. I would recommend her to anyone in Portland!”
“Stefany was amazing. She accepted my last minute request and responded to all my messages very quickly. She gave me lots of updates and bonded immediately with my dog, even though he can be picky about people sometimes. Would recommend for anyone who needs a dog sitter in Maine!”
“Carmen was incredibly attentive and good with goose! I came home to a happy cat and received many pictures throughout the stay - she also went above and beyond and cleaned her litter box completely, as well as her food dishes! Id absolutely book with Carmen again.”
“Can't say enough good things about Briana's care for my often-anxious dog. I was concerned about leaving him for 10 days in a new situation, but he became a welcome member of the family from the get-go. Thanks to the warmth and kind attention he received, he blossomed while I was away. I'm so very glad we found Briana and her family!”
“Viva is an amazing Dog Sitter. She took care of a relatively elderly dog with lots of medication’s beautifully with excellent communication and I plan to work with her again many thanks.”
“Kyle and Kaleigh have the perfect set up to watch our dog. We were completely comfortable leaving our pup with them and they were awesome about sending us pictures and communicating on how our dog was doing”
“Laney was perfect for us and our dog! She was extremely responsive as we set up our date for Happy's two-day stay, and we enjoyed meeting with her by video beforehand. She was so welcoming to Happy -- and us -- and she clearly loves being with dogs and knows how to put everyone at ease. She did a great job of introducing Happy to her two lovely dogs and to her human family. We were confident that Happy would enjoy herself at Laney's, and she did! We're looking forward to returning to southern Maine soon so Happy can stay with her again!”
“Kimberly was so great to our dog! She had her for a week and texted us updates twice a day which was perfect. She is very sweet. She monitored our dog’s food and water intake and also made sure she was getting nice long walks! We really felt comfortable with her!! Thank you so much!”
“Jennifer was exceptional! This was the first time we had left our dog with a dog sitter. She went above and beyond to take care of his special needs and gave him such good care and attention as seen through all her wonderful and very much appreciated communications. Her dog Maya is a sweetheart and no doubt also provided fun companionship to Fin. We can not thank her enough for her genuine kindness, attention to detail, and overall wonderful care. Fin was on a doggy vacation staying with Jennifer and Maya. Thank you Jennifer!!”
“Claudia and Jason were an absolute lifesaver. We needed a last minute sitter while visiting Maine and they came through. Drop off was a breeze and I knew Chase was in good hands. Regular updates including photos reassured myself and the kids that Chase was doing well. I can’t thank them enough and I can honestly attest that your dog is in good hands with them. I would absolutely without hesitation use them again if we’re in town.”
