Timothy
Bowdoinham, Maine
Dependable, trustworthy, empathetic, caring.
Tim was an excellent sitter from start to finish. He was kind, organized, and followed through on all home tasks. The house was very clean on my return, and my plants were thriving. I'd love to have him back and anyone would be lucky to have him! Thanks Tim!
Caitlin
Bowdoinham, Maine
Caring, Loving Travel Couple
Caitlin and Lawrence were great! They were able to come over the day before we left and we had dinner together and we were able to get to know them even more and show them everything they needed to know about Clara and our home. They sent us lovely pictures of Clara enjoying her time while we were away. When we got back the house was super clean and they left us a nice plant to start our garden with this summer. We would definitely have them in our home again.
Samantha
Bowdoinham, Maine
Travelling, pet-loving family of 3
Samantha was very communicative from the start and stayed that way throughout our trip. She sent daily updates and photos which we loved seeing and it was obvious that our animals were happy and well cared for. I had what I thought would be a 2 day repair project planned, and they were so flexible and patient when it turned into a full week! Yikes! Came home to a spotless house and happy animals and would welcome this nice family back anytime.
Yvonne
Bowdoinham, Maine
Experienced pet lover available for long term sits while you're away.
Yvonne was just great. She was wonderful with the dogs, and the house was immaculate when I returned. I hope that she will come again.
Alanna
Bowdoinham, Maine
Full time traveler experienced in caring for rescue dogs and cats.
I am so fortunate to have found Alanna to take care of my cat while I went on a nine week trip to Mexico in my van. My cat was a little more complicated to care for because he was diagnosed with IBD just before I left. He thrived under Alanna’s care. He almost gained a full pound while I was gone, which is amazing for a cat with this diagnosis. It’s speak volumes about Alanna as a care provider. She was 100% attentive to all of his needs. She sent me pictures and communicated with me almost daily. I really can’t say enough good about her. She was neat and clean and took such great care of my condo, which is a second home, that she is welcome to come back anytime to stay if she wants to vacation in Seattle. I think my cat misses her. I’m POSITIVE that I miss her. I hope to see her again in the near future!
Clara
Bowdoinham, Maine
Reliable, Remote-Working, Pet-loving Couple with house & pet sitting experience
Clara and Graham were amazing sitters! We were lucky to have them and would wholeheartedly recommend them. They provided frequent updates during their stay and were tidy and respectful of our home. Couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you guys!
Barbara
Bowdoinham, Maine
I am a caring, responsible and active older woman.
Barbara was an excellent house and cat sitter. Communication with her from the word go was straightforward, and easy and it was clear that she would be completely self sufficient and confident in managing the travelling to the island, and caring for Stan and the house. She stayed in touch throughout her stay and I felt calm and confident that all was well with my beloved cat and home, and even updated me on the welfare of some of the street cats that I feed. If Barbara applies for a sit for you, then you can have every confidence that she is more than 100% reliable and will do an excellent job!
Rosemary
Bowdoinham, Maine
Lifelong Animal Lover Excited to Take Care of Your Furry Family Members
This was my first time with zeewoi and I couldn't be happier. Rosemary was great! We talked on FaceTime and then met in person prior to her stay which made me very comfortable leaving my boys. Everyday I received photos and an update on the crazy group ( she had 2 young dogs to deal with). When I arrived home the dogs were happy, the house looked great, the bed was made with clean linens and all towels washed. Wow, I couldn't ask for more. I only hope I can entice Rosemary to come back to Waynesboro in the future. Thanks again!!!
Dawn
Bowdoinham, Maine
Mature woman looking to explore and spend time with your pets!
Dawn was the kind of sitter that you dream of having! My two kitties loved her, she sent pictures of them daily, and she was just thoughtful and awesome all around. I would love to have her come back anytime and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for piece of mind about your pets and home while you're gone!
Ciara
Bowdoinham, Maine
Experienced International and Domestic Traveler who loves animals!
This was our second time having Ciara at our home with Ellie. We had such a great experience we wanted to bring her back. My favorite things about Ciara as a sitter is her quality care of Ellie, daily communication, and how self sufficient she is. She walked our dog almost daily and sent photos updating us on Ellie's activities each day. Ellie had a little bit of a health scare and Ciara stayed right on top of everything + maintained awesome communication throughout. We live on an island and if you have, you know island living isn't always the easiest. Ciara was comfortable with our home's quirks and didn't need hand holding during her stay. Would absolutely have her back in the future.
Reviews from Cat Owners
Karen
This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Mike
Cung was a wonderful cat sitter and housesitter and we would happily invite him back again. He was excellent with our cats and sent plenty of photos, and also left the house impeccably clean. We had to come back a day early and so we got to spend some time with him which we enjoyed as well. 10 out of 10 recommend! 
Joel and Esme
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Esther
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Sean
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
LEANNE
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
Tiffany
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
Natalie
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
Ned
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
Steven
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!

We left our sweet Louie for the first time ever and after receiving daily updates, messages, photos and videos, we were afraid he may never want to come home with us! Lynn put all of our worries at ease before, during and after the trip. Louie made friends - human and canine - and had the best time during his vacation at Free Range Fido! We can't say enough about the positive experience and recommend FRF to anybody looking for a safe, nurturing and super-fun getaway for their pooch. Thank you so much, Lynn! Louie loves you and we are so thankful!
Birdie stayed out at Free Range Fido this past weekend for the first time. I have to admit that I had some anxiety leaving her with someone who wasn't family because she has a lot of energy and is super high maintenance. We received videos, pictures and daily updates of of Birdie's mini vacation that made all of our worries go away. We saw her play with other pups, chased endless tennis balls in the huge fenced in yard, go on sniffing safari's and even spend some one on one time with Lynn. When we picked her up she barely moved off the couch other than to eat. We definitely will be using Free Range Fido again for visits!
I am a few years late to the game, but we used Free Range Fido way back in 2021 when we drove all the way up there from Florida with our three dogs. Our younger two labradors just needed a free space to let off some steam and boy did they use every bit of Lynn's space. I just wish that she was closer...but I dont think she wants to move down to Tallahassee. Thanks again.
It is very obvious that the owner, Lynn, loves dogs! Everything about the facility was created with dog happiness in mind, from the large yard and toys to comfy kennels when it's nap time. I loved that she sent pictures and videos while we were away so we could see how much fun he was having! And I know the dogs love her right back because when I went to pick him up, of course he was excited to see me but while we were chatting he went back to give Lynn a hug. ❤️ Thank you so much Lynn! We will be back.😁
I honestly cannot imagine a better place to board your dog. We just wish it were closer to where we live. Lynn could not be nicer, she is incredibly energetic and caring and kind, and gives each dog a lot of individual attention, from throwing the ball for them to taking them on walks to introducing them (on a leash!) to her farm animals. And she sends you lots of photos and videos every day that prove your dog is having a wonderful time.
My dog Bailey goes to free Randge Fido at least three times a week and always comes home ready for bed and a good snuggle. Lynn loves dogs and works with people and there crazy schedules. She will all ways be my top pick for day cares. Not to mention I love getting so many pictures and video up dates through out the day. She makes you feel as if you are part of the family
We took our dog Tucker to Lynn's daycare and I don't think he wanted to come home. Lol He had so much fun. We were gone for a few days and she took such good care of Tucker. What a happy place for a dog to be.♥️🐾
There is no better place for your dog. Lynn Hendrickson no only loves dogs but understands what you dog needs for a happy and healthy life. A place you can leave your dog and know she is well-cared for in every way. BRAVO Lynn!
Omg!! My 2 babies never want to go home now.. Lynn, stop spoiling them so much. Thank you for everything thing you do for Milo & Bailey!!
Big spacious play area, very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive staff. Hola had a great time running and playing with friends.

My two dogs love going to Dog's Choice Boarding! They always have the best adventures on the bay, in boat rides, swimming and running around on the sandbars. Colleen gives them a ton of affection, treats and action packed days! My girls always love coming to Colleen's place and always leave happy and tired from a fun action packed day! I also love her updates from the dog perspective about all their adventures they go on! One of my dogs is deaf and Colleen was so intentional about learning some of her common signs to be able to communicate with her. She really is devoted to all the dogs and learning their needs, even for those with special needs.
Colleen is the ultimate dog whisperer. She treats the dogs in a home atmosphere where they have freedom with safety. Fletcher my golden retriever loves going there. She takes them on hikes and ensures they have playtime. When I am away, I receive pictures and a journal of the day's activities. I know that Fletcher is reluctant to come home as he has such a great time. Highly recommended!!!!!!!
Colleen has been an amazing petsitter for three of our dogs when we have travelled. She completely attends to all the details (our "list" often involves complicated care instructions including medications). She is knowledgeable about breeds and she creates experiences for each dog. Indeed, I think she puts herself into each dog's way of thinking - from the bold to timid ones - and truly pays attention to how they are doing. Often daily, we would get photos and written dispatches. The fun thing is that they are written in our dog's voice, complete stories about their day! I highly recommend Colleen and her super - friendly companion Dory for the most complete pet caregiving experience you can imagine. - Mark
Colleen was willing to take in my 4 month old Golden Doodle puppy. Koda is now 7 months old and has had several daytime stays with Colleen. He ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT!! He gets so excited when we turn the corner onto her street. Colleen is very good about making sure Koda's puppy needs are met. She also communicates very well with me. Highly recommend!!

Everyone has been very nice and my Pearl was excited to go there after our initial visit. I am planning on boarding in September, so look forward to another review after more time spent at the Magic of Paws!! New news…. Pearl had a great time this September on her vacation…. She will be back!!
My dog loves his doggy daycare days at Magic of Paws! Nyssa and her team are fantastic! When I need boarding, I know my pup is in good hands! Highly recommend!
The staff is Kind, helpful and definitely animal lovers. They are so flexible to work with our worlds Crazy schedules. now my Jackson’s first ever experience with doggy daycare and I was recommended by a vet to go there and he loves it and I’ve already booked an overnight ., they send pictures and let you know how he went on his day with a little report card. I’m so excited to be a part of the magic of 🐾 paws ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
For over a year now, we've entrusted our pup, Marlo, to the caring team at Magic of Paws, and we can't praise their dedicated staff enough. Whether we're boarding him for a single night or an extended stay of 18 days (yes, this has happened!), Marlo just loves every minute at Magic of Paws, as seen by his excitement every time we pull over. One of the things we love about Magic of Paws is the daily report cards and photo updates we receive. These not only brighten our day but also provide us with peace of mind. It's a stark contrast to our previous experiences with another doggie day care facility in Portland. Their ability to focus on quality care is unparalleled. Unlike other places, they don't jam countless dogs in one place in order to make a profit. They really focus on each pup's personality and work around it. We are grateful for Magic of Paws. *Vid of deers you might find on the property as you drop off your fur baby!
Clearly, this place is a lot of fun. My puppy has had positive experiences with humans and canines alike - the staff members at Magic of Paws are very pet-centered, friendly, and patient. They are a major part of why she is a well-adjusted, happy pup!
Thank you so much for taking such good care of Olive while we were away! We feel so much better knowing that she’s having a good time with her buddies. She is now snoozing away.
A little late but I wanted to thank the crew at Magic of Paws for taking care of my cats, Kiki and Tiger. We are new to the area with work schedules not conducive to the hours of operation for drop off/pick up for many cat boarding facilities in the area. I'm so glad I found Magic of Paws. They took wonderful care of my babies and I loved the daily report card included with their stay. I won't hesitate to board my babies with them again and highly recommend Magic of Paws to anyone needing to board the kitties. UPDATE: I’ve used Magic of Paws a few more times since my review. I had to travel out of state and was gone during the wind/rain storm and flooding on 12/18. Tiger is difficult to handle when she’s away from home but I want to thank the staff of Magic of Paws for taking care of Kiki and Tiger and keeping them safe when I wasn’t able to be there for them.
We boarded our cat at Magic of Paws for one week while on vacation. You can tell the staff at Magic of Paws really care about the animals they are taking care of. The daily report cards we got when our kitty was staying there gave us peace of mind while on our trip. I understand that Magic of Paws is primarily a dogs place but we chose to board our cat there based on the amazing reviews and we are overall happy with our choice. The reason why I am not giving 5 stars is based on the state of the cat overnight boarding space. When we dropped off our boy we were able to bring him up to the cattery to say goodbye. Upon walking into the cat space we were hit with an awful smell- it smelt like the space hadn’t been cleaned in months. The office next to the cat space was filthy with trash all over the floor (this room appeared to be some kind of office). The space for cats has tons of fun things for cats to play with including a running wheel and awesome posts to scratch and high perches to climb and relax on. if the cattery was better taken care of, I would be giving 5 stars. In summary we are very pleased with the care our boy received while at Magic of Paws. Every staff member I encountered or spoke to was helpful and friendly. Our boy arrived home relaxed and happy confirming he had a good time making new friends and exploring a new place!
Magic of Paws is really outstanding. My partner’s family lives in Cape Cod so we are going down there every few months for multiple nights. It’s heartbreaking to have to leave your animals behind, but I worry so much less because of Magic of Paws. When I go to check in on them and see report cards with pictures where my cats are cuddling on the Magic of Paws caretaker/Nyssa, it is the sweetest feeling. Thank you so much Magic of Paws. If you could use a service like this, you need to use Magic of Paws. Unbelievably reliable, trustworthy, caring people.
From the first phone call I made to Magic of Paws, I was excited to bring my dog to be cared for here. We have an 80ish lb, 17 month old Doberman, and he’d never been able to play with other dogs at another facility, because he’s still in tact. The fact that he was able to socialize off leash with other dogs with similar temperament and size makes my heart so happy. He loves people and other dogs, but doesn’t get to experience off leash freedom at home. He was very tired after his first day of doggy daycare. And we are looking forward to experiencing some of the other services that Magic of Paws has to offer. Thank you so much for making us feel so comfortable!

We are so grateful for Coastal Dog! Our dog can be a bit of a particular pup but she is more excited to go to Coastal Dog than any other place! She is usually very quiet in the car but starts whining with excitement as soon as we turn down …
The best doggie daycare! Reasonably priced, the most considerate and kind staff, flexible, and I never worry about my dog being there. I know she gets the very best treatment! Highly recommend ❤️🥰 …
Our dog loves it here so much!!!! He always jumps out of the car and runs inside to see his friends. I feel good knowing he is being loved while I’m gone! Highly recommended!
