A Quiet Writer Who Keeps Home Fires Burning
Julia was awesome. She took very good care of our little fur babies and sent us an update every other day. When we got home the house looked great and the pups well cared for. Julia even picked us up from the airport which was extra nice! I highly recommend her to take care of your home and pets.

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.

Loving Mother + Daughter
Elizabeth and Norea arrived the night before we left on our trip and I knew immediately that they were a perfect fit for sitting at our rural, alternative home. We have 2 old indoor cats, Bert and Benny, an older dog, Abby, our wild child dog, Rosita, 3 aging hens and an aquarium. Norea fell in love with the cats and looked after cleaning the litter box daily, making sure that Benny had his meds each morning and insured that both cats received a surplus of love and attention. Abby, our older dog is a sweetheart and is easy to love. Rosita is also a sweet girl, but has enough energy for 5 dogs. She can be a challenge, but Elizabeth handled her with patience and consistency. I think Elizabeth's morning walks around the property with the dogs were a highlight. The chickens and fish had no complaints about their care. We cleaned our house before Elizabeth and Norea arrived, and it looked better when we returned from our trip, tidy and spotless. Elizabeth and Norea, a mom and daughter team, are caring, gentle, and trustworthy. I'm privileged to have met them and hope that they can return to watch our home.

Michelle has sat for us several times and is always a great option. We would love to have her back. She is easy to make plans with and took terrific care of our dogs.

Handy Pet-Sitter for You!
Everything went smoothly making arrangements for arrival and JD took excellent care of our 2 cats. He sent pictures every day so I knew everyone was doing well while we were away. He left the apartment clean and stayed late until we got back home from a 10 hour travel day. We would be happy to have him back anytime. Thanks, JD!

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!!!

Experienced, confident, and caring animal lover ❤️
Carrie was simply lovely! Both dogs obviously adored her right from the start and they were so relaxed and happy when we returned. We were only sad that Carrie was booked for just a weekend as she was a wonderful house sitter. Our house looked immaculate and the dogs had been taken for lovely walks, even though the weather had been atrocious. We really enjoyed meeting her and hope when she is next in the UK she will come and see us. We could not recommend Carrie more highly to look after your animals and house.

Solo traveler trecking the globe!
Kyle was such a great sitter for our two cats, Buffy and Milo, while we were gone for a month hiking the John Muir Trail. He proved very self-sufficient, which was super important for us since we were hiking and out of cell service for most of the time. Something that stood out was his adaptability. A summer storm knocked out power for two days and Kyle took it in stride. Most importantly, we came home to two happy cats and a tidy apartment. If you are looking for a sitter, look no further than Kyle.

Happy, clean, animal loving family!
Sarah and Caleb were great! Easy to communicate with and took excellent care of Banksy. They checked in regularly and left the house clean and tidy upon return. I’d have them come and stay again anytime.

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.
. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!

When getting a puppy, I knew I wanted to have him go to a daycare to get out extra energy. After much research, picking Puptown was by fair the easiest decision. Knowing the love and care the staff has for these animals is unparalleled to any other. I am so happy to leave my beloved Charlie with a group of people that care about these animals. Charlie LOVES going to Puptown and we happily send him 3 days a week. Tyler and his team have the dogs best interests in site. I would highly recommend anyone to bring their dogs to Puptown!
Puptown Funk is the best doggie daycare for my Cleo girl! She comes home happy and tired from all the fun she has! The staff are amazing and know all the dog's personalities. I love that I get a "report card" about what she does while she is there and I enjoy seeing the pictures taken. I would recommend Puptown Funk to anyone looking for a fun and safe place to send their dog.
Puptown Funk is the best doggy daycare around. The staff is wonderful, the play is curated and my dog comes home not only physically tired but mentally tired too. I can tell he has been challenged to think and listen and learn. If your dog goes to Puptown Funk you won't have to worry that it's just hanging out in a pen, bored. Nor will you wonder if it just sat in a kennel all day. My dog is excited the moment we pull into the driveway. 10/10 would recommend. (I added a picture of Tonka focused on the agility course. I've already noticed he listens better since he started with the agility lessons!)
We started bringing Mack to Puptown Funk a month or so ago. He is a very energetic 15 month old golden retriever. In the time he has been going there, we have seen HUGE improvements in Mack- listening and following direction better, increased positive interaction with our family! Tyler came out to help me learn a new way to get our stubborn boy into my car. Mack looks forward to going to play (he is great at showing and vocalizing his his excitement) and he just loves all of the wonderful staff!
Puptown is a great doggy daycare. My girl Chloe goes there two to three times a week and absolutely loves it there. The handlers are awesome and Chloe gets so excited when we get there. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone to watch their dog.
Incredible people, incredible environment, and incredible care. What more can you say about this amazing doggy daycare! Our dog has been going there for almost a year and all of us couldn’t be happier! We are proud to be members of the Puptown Funk family!
I visited Puptown Funk when vacationing in Maine and couldn't be more pleased with their service and commitment, both to the individual dogs and to us people. As a former animal welfare inspector, I was quite impressed with their system of allowing dogs that get along to enjoy playing together, while keeping a watching eye over any potential conflicts and acting accordingly for the peace and safety of all. Of course that requires Tyler's (and each member of his staff) personal knowledge of each and every dog in his (their) care to understand the individual needs, quirks and limitations of each dog, allowing them (but not forcing them) to develop their social skills and being rewarded with the joys of playfulness and regular rest. I highly recommend Puptown Funk! ❤️
We are very happy to have our dog at Puptown twice a week! The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable, and they take every care and precaution managing the dogs. Our dog absolutely loves going there, and the dogs don't lie! Highly recommend Tyler and the Puptown crew.
As a first time pup owner, I wanted to do everything I could for my baby girl. I've heard the scary stories some people say about doggie daycare but Puptown Funk has made all those scary stories seem just that...stories. The staff are amazing and they take fantastic care of Ruby for me on those busy days where I need her to be at daycare. I can't say enough good things about this facility. Ruby shakes with excitement when we turn into the driveway and she runs inside. She's greeted every morning with a warm hug from the staff and they provide report cards weekly to discuss how she did. Anyone looking for a daycare for their pup...please use Puptown!
We've been bringing our dog, Osi, to Puptown for over a year. We were excited to learn that they passed their recent inspection by the Maine Animal Welfare Program with flying colors! The thing is, Osi knows. She's well cared for at Puptown, and seems to be aware of the days she's going. She won't walk in the morning on those days - she'll stop at the car, and wait until we let her get in for the ride to Puptown. Tyler and his staff all have a genuine love for dogs and for the work they do. We cannot recommend Puptown Funk highly enough.
My dog is skittish and had never had a trim at three years almost because she used to have acerage. Now an apt dog, I went here and she is so professional and fast. No trauma, no cut quicks. In and out in 6 minutes. 10 stars to her
We have two GSD mix rescues who hate to get nail trims. One of the big pet stores in Augusta asked us not to return (dogs are NOT aggressive, just struggle). Vet couldn’t do it either - said they need sedation. I heard that Lisa was wonderful and wow- yes! Her husband soothed and cuddled while she clipped. We now have healthy paws. I am beyond happy. Recommend highly for their professionalism and compassion
I have taken my dog and my daughter's dog to Happy Tails for several years. Lisa shows her love for grooming dogs and her prices are beyond reasonable. I want excellent service and I get it.
My Wife took our Little Chihuahua to Happy Tails My Wife stayed with her while she was Groomed, Lisa did such a awesome Job my wife said and when when Emma Lou came home She looked Amazing... and Smelled amazing Highly recommend this service.
Omg this is the best groomer bar none. My long hair Wegie Rose is so pretty when she gets her hair did here. Love her. 💕🐾💕
Lisa really cares for your pets. If you bring your animal to her she will treat it like one of her own. Can't ask for better service
I love this place, Lisa Hawkes is fair honest and an accomplished groomer as well. Friendly place and in a lively area of Farmingdale.
Good job, great price, very nice groomer. Highly recommended.
She is very accommodating and treats my dog very well.
They do a great job on Molly & have a positive attitude.
Kim has cared for our dogs for well over 10 years and she is the best. Before discovering Kim's K9 I tried several others and nobody cares for my dogs like her. The inside was recently remodeled and looks great. Thank you Kim for being there for us.
We have taken 3 dogs over the past 10 to 15 years to Kim's Canine. They have stayed anywhere from just one night to 9 nights. All of our dogs have looked forward to going to see Kim. My first pugs would yelp with joy when we would mention where we were taking them. When we dropped them off, they never looked back when we left. It's such a great feeling to know my dogs are well taken care of and they enjoy being at Kim's.
my dogs are always well cared for, and I love the safe, fenced in yard that they go out in, along with the "bedroom" they have inside. And then they get special time in the "living room" with TV and toys. I never worry that they can dig out under a fence, or are unsupervised. Individual needs have always been met. My dogs recognize where they are when they are dropped off and go happily inside with Kim which tells me they are happy to stay there!
My extended family and I have been boarding our dogs here for around 10 years. It is so nice to drop your dog off somewhere and know that they are well loved and cared for 😊. I have nothing but great things to say about this business. The price has never increased and the owner has always managed to make room for my pup - even at the last minute. I would highly recommend Kim’s canine retreat.
This place is amazing! Each dog has their own room and she makes sure the bigger dogs get the bigger rooms. There’s plenty of space for them to move around. There a doggy living room with couches and toys and even a tv for the pups. Cameras to watch the pups if she isn’t by there side. She allows each of the dogs outside time multiple times a day in a huge fenced in area and will even have multiple dogs out at the same time to play with each other. The owner is amazing and treats every dog like they are her own. If your pup has a hard time without you, she makes sure you are informed and gives that pup extra time out and extra love! I love this place and I would never take my fur baby anywhere else.
Love Kim's. Only ace I have taken my dogs for 10 years. My dog can be difficult with people and he has been nothing but excited to see Kim. No concerns with the level of care. Thank you Kim.
This is the only place to leave your dog's. Where else would they be given a room each (dog sized)? Where else are they encouraged to socialize with like minded, similar sized dogs, in front of a fire place and t.v. with a sofa? Your best friend becomes the best friend of Kim and her staff. Why would you let yours be placed in cages?
Kim takes great care of the Dogs that she boards. I won't leave my Golden Doodle with just anyone and she is one of those people!
Our dog loved it there! A wonderful house, so cozy! I can only recommend this place!
