Not all dog lovers can care for the large breed dogs. You can't just pick them up to fix a problem. And they tend to drool. Betsy was just marvelous with Byron. He likes to get out to walk or ride around in the car. He is a nosy thing. Betsy was able to find his best self. She sent lots of pictures. The house looked the same as we left it. I could not ask for more. We appreciated all she did to allow us to take a vacation without worry.

CONSCIENTIOUS, ACTIVE, LOVING, PET-CARER SEEKS NEW, FOUR-LEGGED FRIENDS
You are always a little bit nervous to leave the care of your house and pet to a stranger for two weeks but after talking to Reba on the phone.,I knew it would work out. She did an exceptional job house/pet/garden sitting for the two weeks she was here. Her communication was great. She always returned texts promptly and sent us texts with updates on a regular basis. This was our first sitter and Reba showed her experience by guiding us through the process. Our house was well taken care and it was cleaned throughly when we returned. This was much appreciated as we arrived back at 1 am after a long travel day. Our cat was well taken care of also and even warmed up to Reba as Sophia can be a little aloof. We also left the extra responsibility of taking care of our garden. She had to do some watering and with cold temperature, cover it also. Thanks to her for doing this. In conclusion, if you are lucky enough to get Reba to be your sitter. Jump on the opportunity. She was FANTASTIC!!

Stacy and Chris were the best house/dog sitters we could have hoped for. When we first met via video chat Stacy was very thorough in asking questions and it was clear she really prioritized the health and safety of our dogs. She immediately put me at ease for my first experience using this platform. While we were away, Stacy and Chris were wonderful with our dogs and taking care of our house, as well as very accommodating of our travel plans when it came to arrival and departure times. They made friends with our dogs right away (including the skittish one who usually takes a few days) and were great about walking them and letting them out at regular intervals. The dogs didn't even have any indoor accidents, which doesn't always happen even when we are home. Stacy also sent us pictures and updates about the dogs each day we were gone. It was the perfect amount of contact to let us know that our dogs and house were well taken care of. We knew we didn't have to worry about anything while we were away. In terms of the house, they were more than willing to help with maintenance, like bringing in packages, taking out the trash, and even sending me a picture of a recipe I forgot to bring with me. Our trip was so much more relaxing knowing that Stacy and Chris were taking such good care of things. When we returned home our house was spotless and the dogs seemed very happy. The only problem is that I think the dogs might miss them! I would absolutely recommend Stacy & Chris as sitters. We've had many different experiences with sitters in the past and this has been one of the best. Stacy and Chris proved themselves to be extremely reliable and trustworthy, as well as people who really care for and treat animals right.

Andrea and Lily were so great to have looking after Murray. They were really good checking in with us as needed, sent cute pictures, and were very understanding when Murray left them an embarrassing surprise. We felt super comfortable and confident with them and would welcome them back in a heartbeat
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
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.
Great sitter would hire Stephen and Jenny in a heartbeat. Great with dogs cat and house
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
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 .
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.

Kayla, the owner, is an animal lover, and my Max loves her. She takes wonderful care of him and makes sure he gets his medication when needed. As soon as we pack Max's things to go see her and grab his leash, he gets excited he knows where he's going. We love Kayla and her family.
Toured the facility and we were immediately impressed with the cleanliness. We reserved our kennel for spring break 2022 immediately! We have 3-45lb dogs that were boarded together for 7-nights. Owner reported no issues during the stay. We picked up our dogs just as clean as we dropped them off. Everyone was happy! Highly recommend this is a 5-star facility and I’ll gladly recommend to my own business clients.
Large outside run area that the dog gets to several times a day. Clean and Kayla is very caring about your pet
Love her kennel! She takes great care of our dog and has great pricing!
Great place. Did not have to worry about my dog he was in good hands with Kayla.
Deb is amazing!!! This was my first experience boarding my young dog and I was really dreading leaving her but as soon as I met Deb, I knew I had made a good choice. Deb clearly loves and understands dogs and does everything humanly possible to make their stay as comfortable as possible, including staying with them during storms! Do not hesitate to choose Canine Guest House when you need to board your pet. They will be in good hands!!
I have two babies that love their second home when we are on trips. The size difference in these two are huge, but they are loved the same and due to separation issues with each other, they are allowed to be in same pen, which is plenty big enough by the way for even 1 big baby. The kennel is always in great cleanliness. Not a huge boarding place, which I feel gives more attention to their guest.
We recently boarded our two nincompoops, er, I mean dogs, w Deb for 8 days. Love the fact that there are only 5 kennels so you don't walk into 20 kennels w dogs going ballistic! So stressful for everyone. Anyway, she was so very attentive and spent time with them outside the kennel. She even sent pictures the first several days and it did help to ease our minds. One of our dogs can be a real challenge and *might* have been a bit over-medicated, but that might have been some miscommunication. We noticed it when we got home. We would still use her again! Thanks for your time and caring :) Be sure to remind Dave of archery league on Weds Nights @ 6!!
If there was an option to give more than 5 stars, I would do it. Our family boarded 3 dogs (2 beagles & 1 German Shepard) last week and each of their particular needs were attended to. I have had a dog for over 35 years and boarded multiple places over the years. This is BY FAR, the best! Deb (and her husband) goes above and beyond to ensure the safety and well-being of her furry guests...including making sure they were as comfortable as possible during a thunderstorm. This is now our preferred facility when we travel and know we do not need to worry about our Murphy :).
Excellent facility. Deborah is a Friendly, kind and attentive owner. We have investigated other kennels and never felt comfortable leaving our pet. We are very comfortable leaving our golden with Deborah.
We brought 2 black labs to board while we were up north and we are so happy with the service! The kennel is clean, safe, and Deb is wonderful!
We called one morning asking for same day availability and we got super lucky that there was an open spot. Very well priced and super cute, clean kennels for our dog. Highly recommend! Thank you!
First time boarding our little dog who was very scared, Deborah was so kind and caring with him I knew he was in good hands, very clean facility.
You won't be disappointed! She is amazing with your pets, going above and beyond.
Deb is amazing and went above and beyond to take care of Smokey
Sherri has excellent accommodations for animal and makes them feel special. My Angel loved her at our meet & greet. I feel very safe leaving my baby with her.
It's like taking your dog to your family when I picked up my beagle she was looking at me through the picture window they treat them like they were there own! Highly recommend!
No place for our pets to run. Boarder said she will be putting up a fence in the near future.
Great people, loves my dog as much as I do.
I truly liked it
