Maria is all anyone could ask for while they are away... we have an older cat and she was very attentive to his quirky ways.... she also sent updates every day along with photos. I would highly recommend retaining her for your pet sit :)

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!

Betsy was amazing. From the first phone call to finishing the sit everything was perfect. We returned to a very happy Tom and a beautiful clean home. Tom was completely spoilt while we were away and is missing Betsy. Communication was superb with regular pictures and updates. If you ever have the chance of having Betsy sit for you. Jump at the chance. We highly recommend her and will have her back anytime.

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.

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!

Compassionate, energetic and loving care provider
Responsible, reliable, friendly, helpful, resourceful. Some (understandable) family matters may have precluded a chance for her to replace linens (no time for them to dry) and perform a final vacuum in her spaces, but everything else was spotless. Probably tmi; in truth, I completely recommend Claudia and would be happy to see her back again.

I am a perfect company for your loved one.
Tatsiana is AMAZING! She cares for my fur babies as though they were her own. And, they have adopted her as their own. I never have a worry when she's with them. She is so responsible and caring that it provides great piece of mind while I'm traveling.

Retired independent, homeowner couple ready to play and stay with your animals!
Carla and Ed arrived on time and very cheerful - they sent multiple updates and it was clear the dogs were very well cared for. We came back to very happy pets and a clean cared for house - can't ask for more. Thank you Carla and Edward

An artistic couple who travel often. Kind, reliable, resourceful and delightful.
Doria and Markus were absolutely exceptional pet sitters in every way! They are both kind, respectful people with excellent communication skills and with so much love in their hearts for our two dogs! Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and our dogs were relaxed and clearly well loved and well cared for. Our newly planted flowers were also well cared for and the instructions we left were clearly read and followed. We feel very grateful to have found such wonderful people to house/pet sit for us and definitely hope they will return! We would give them much more than five stars as they are top notch in every way, including being WONDERFUL human beings who bring great energy and joy to this planet! Thank you Doria and Markus!!!!

Trusting, caring, responsible & dependable “Grandma” for your home & pets!
Ina was a terrific person and house sitter! We met twice before the house sit and she got to meet Iris who warmed up to her right away. With most strangers, she runs and hides under the bed!!! I really liked Ina's warm and open personality. She was very thoughtful and careful with my things and furniture. She sent me great photos of Iris throughout the 2 weeks I was gone. Somehow she was able to get Iris to sleep in the bed with her. This is truly a thing that I cannot get Iris to do with me!!! I would highly recommend Ina for anybody else who would consider her.
Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
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 .
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!

I absolutely love Salty Dog Pet Services. My experiences hiring Salty Dog for cat sitting have been nothing but fantastic. Whenever I go away, I know my cats are happy and well taken care of. Shani, the owner, texts me pictures of my cats every time she comes over to feed them, and it's so clear how much she cares for all of her clients pets. I can't recommend highly enough!!
We love Salty Dog! Very professional, friendly, and easy to work with. They develop a real relationship with our pets and I feel completely confident leaving them in their hands. They work hard to meet our needs, send text & photo updates so that we know all is well. It is so good to have this service offered and done so well!
Shani is super reliable, always sends photo updates and the best part is my pets love her. I feel totally comfortable leaving my animals in her care. I've even had some animals with medical and behavioral needs (I foster) during her visits and I've never had any concerns with her ability to tend to them.
My 3 pups just love going to great island kennel. We all love Hallie. Even our very nervous boy who can’t wait to get out the car and see her! I’m a hovercraft mom and my mind is at ease when I drop the pups off for boarding.
We absolutely love Great Island Kennel! We’ve boarded our dog with them several times over the years with confidence he’ll be well taken care of. Now, our dog starts to get excited when we pull up and is so happy to see his friends that he doesn’t even say goodbye!
My 2 German shorthaired pointers stayed 7 days at great island kennel. Hallie was able to get my dogs to eat, and gave there medications they needed at no extra charge. I highly recommend them I won't take my dogs anywhere else
They genuinely care about our pup and remember her by name, accommodate any requests or questions, and are exceptionally friendly and professional. Our dog is usually skittish around other pups, but she leaves every time wagging and calm. I rest easy knowing they take such good care.
We have been taking our English Springer Spaniel here for "seaside vacations" for almost 10 years now. Never had a less than wonderful experience. The kennel is super clean (and unlike the only bad review states, it is separate from the house) and Rusty enjoys the outdoor play area. When he has needed medication I have no concerns leaving it with them to administer. He recognizes the drive and is excited and happy to be there. I recommend it highly.
My dog stayed a week or so on boarding with Grand Island Kennel during our summer vacation. The oder of the place was terrible. The dogs I saw in their living room did not seem happy at all. Because the water bowls are hidden somewhere hard to find for the dogs. I am not quite sure if they did that on purpose so that they could reduce the times to bring the dogs out for bathroom. The first thing my dog did after we picked him up was to drink lot of water from the water bottle that we brought him. The worst part is, my dog got severe cough and strange loud noise in his throat right after he got home. We had to bring him to the vet. It turned out that he was infected a certain type of kennel cough from where he stayed. Although he’s got vaccine of kennel cough, it was unable to protect him from all kinds of kennel cough. He got well soon, but he’s got some problem with his respiratory system ever since. I will never use Grand Island Kennel again!
Oh my gosh, I wonder if Governmint is confusing Great Island with another kennel. We have been taking our dogs there for 8 years. They LOVE it and come home tired — a sure sign that they are getting plenty of exercise. Everything is perfect. Clean, professional, dog-loving environment. I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. In fact, I stumbled on these reviews when I went to look up the kennel's phone number — we will be leaving our two goldens and one australian cattle dog at Great Island for two weeks while we are on vacation. Great Island Kennel rocks!!!!!
Did not watch my dog. She ate all of the treats (including some of the bag). Needed to go to the vet and be on antibiotics.
They are wonderful, very knowledgeable people who understand the different needs of different dogs.
They are awsome !!!! Gunner just loves going there :) I would recommend them to anyone !!!
Great place for the doggos to have fun with eachother, staff is fun and friendly. Prices are a little high, but worth it for the service. I wouldn't worry about the contract mentioned in the other review Even though written in, negligence isn't something that can be excused legally in a contract in Maine. It's just a deterrent thrown in there.
I’m probably the most neurotic and exacting dog Mom in Maine! But the cottage exceeds my expectations! My Akita Sammy, has been coming since January 2015, and he LOVES the care he receives here!!! Daisy Mae, our lab, also comes and considers herself the futon princess 💕 The staff goes the 2nd mile each and every day and we so appreciate them!!!!
Doggie Cottage has been an excellent and supportive place for boarding our cat and dog, as well as, taking excellent care for our dog three days a week. The folks there listen and understand the needs of who they are providing care for. I could go on and on! The management of the facility is always improving the property for their clients. I would not go anywhere else. We love them! Bryan B
My 3 girls have been boarded and attended daycare here and love it! They come home happy and tired! I have one social butterfly, one big mouth, and one very anxious pup- all three are up there in age but not spirit. I never worry when they're here as the entire staff are very personable with each dog making sure all 3 have a wonderful time, everytime.
I regret not bringing my pup here sooner. The staff at the Doggie Cottage are so wonderful and we love bringing our Lab Tucker here. You can tell how much they love their daycare pups and as a worrisome dog mom, it means the world to know someone is caring for my dog like I would. Tuck loves going so much that we can’t make any sudden movements around the 6:30 am time because he expects that it’s time to go to daycare and gets ridiculously excited. Thank you for all that you do, Doggie Cottage!
The best doggie daycare. Phil, Ashlee, Doryann & staff really care about all the dogs. Staff is the best. The cottage is a place that puts a smile on your face. Marty the party looks forward to hanging out with her furry friends everyday, especially with Leroy and Gus. Since this last post Martha passed away. We now have a new puppy Martha #4. Ashlee, Kylie, Madi, Jordyn & the rest of the staff comforted us when Martha passed, they were all there for us which we greatly appreciated. Martha #4 is part of the team at the cottage. She loves everyone there. We greatly appreciate the time and effort of the staff. Tremendous help with training. Martha #4 also is now being groomed by their absolutely fabulous groomer. So grateful to Ashley for taking her on. She was getting to be too much for me to handle. Thank you, thank you Doggie Cottage, your the best! There is no other playground for Martha#4 like the cottage.
I have been coming to the Doggie Cottage since their opening over 20 years ago and can only say they are the best. Casey was one of the Doggie Cottage's first customers and absolutely loved it there and so much that a few times she would …
