Koreena
Shapleigh, Maine
Independent, professional, cat lover! Looking for new yards to meditate in :)
Koreena was a nice person and good house sitter. I appreciated the time she spent with the cqts they were happy upon my return and i got almost daily photos and check in which was great. The house was clean upon return and she even washed my towels and sheets which I didn’t expect and appreciated. She was able to give my cats medicine and monitor their health, which was great. She monitored the cats well and would update me. The only small thing is she saw improvement and made the decision to stop a medication my cat was getting without discussing it with me (because she saw improvement in his eating and stool). I expressed disappointment, and she apologized however my cat regressed in improvement as a result. I would have handled it differently and kept him on the med or alternated days and just wish she would have run it by me before making that decision for my cat. Besides that I would definitely use her again and feel overall very happy with her care.

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 :)

THIS DREAM TEAM MAY BE YOUR BEST HOME, ANIMAL, & COMMUNITY CARE TAKERS! READ ON!
If you’re lucky enough to have Erik and Madison want to housesit for you, don’t think about it twice! They’re the most thoughtful, caring, kind, communicative house sitters you could have and all around wonderful human beings. This was their second time looking after our dogs (and now beta fish too!) and we couldn’t have been happier. Thank you thank you thank you Madison and Erik! We hope we get to see you again in Seattle or Spain!
ELIZABETH
Shapleigh, Maine
Responsible and compassionate animal companion. Former pet foster parent, curren
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.
Samantha
Shapleigh, 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.
Phyllis

Love Furbabies!
We have had lots of wonderful experiences with TH and still it is hard to imagine a more caring, thoughtful caregiver than Phyllis. We are so lucky that her personal business finds her in our area often enough for us to engage her repeatedly. Tim
Yvonne
Shapleigh, 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.
Clara
Shapleigh, 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!
MICHELLE
Shapleigh, Maine
60-year-old full-time digital nomad, author
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.
Ciara
Shapleigh, 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.
Phil
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
KOLBY
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!
Oliver
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Tonya
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.
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.
Patty
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
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!
Evelyn & Jeff
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
Katie
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!

Recent Reviews:
Tony is so amazing! He absolutely loves your furry kid/s as much as you do! He just has a way with connecting with them and making you feel included in the training. I highly recommend Crazy Daisy’s!!
Tony and Michelle took great care of both my babies while we were away. I am ashamed to say they probably got more attention at Crazy Daisy’s than they do at home. Tony & Michelle even moved their sleeping quarters to be nearer to the dogs who were used to sleeping with mom at home. They have a genuine love for animals and i would trust them with my fur babies any time. Not to mention all the new tricks and positive behavior they learned while with Tony.
Tony is great to work with, both for the dog and the human! It really shows that he cares about the animal and providing knowledge to help us welcome the best dog in the whole world into our family.
My dog Vulcan loves going to see Tony and Michelle for daycare. He runs right to the door on the days he goes, excited to see his friends. It makes me feel confident he's getting the love and care he needs when I'm at work or during an overnight stay. Thank you guys!
They are the best! Tony has become a huge part of our dogs lives, and now ours. Our dogs just gravitate to him, listen to him, and respect him. He offers training and walking. One of the most trustworthy people I’ve met. Cannot say enough about him!
I rescued a 1 year old husky mix from Texas that was much larger and mouthy than I was expecting. I was actually afraid of this dog and didn’t know what to do. Tony helped prevent my beautiful dog from going back into a shelter. He was able to immediately show me my dog’s potential. After only two sessions, I cannot believe the tools I have to make us both understand each other. Tony is truly a dog whisperer, my unruly puppy was turned into basically a show dog before my eyes. 10/10 I owe so much to him, and him being available for any questions even after the training.
My dog loves Tony (and Michelle!) and enjoyed our training session so much. Tony told me to video anything I needed to practice later. My dog was so engaged the entire time. He’s also stayed with Tony and Michelle when I was away and it was clear he was having a blast. I got plenty of picture/videos of my baby boy too which was above and beyond and so sweet. I 100% recommend Crazy Daisy’s and know my dog is getting so much love when working with Tony.
So good at training dogs they should make YouTube videos or have a tv show, they teach the owners and their kids how to be better owners
Cora(my Labradoodle) loves him. She gets excited when she hears his voice even from a video he has posted and I am watching. She comes running over with her little tail just a wagging. He is patient, kind and willing to work on anything you feel your dog needs help with or just teaching them tricks. You can tell he loves what he does and really cares about the dogs he works with. I would highly recommend Tony as your dogs trainer.
My elderly mother brings her dog, JoJo, to Crazy Daisy's and there has been a marked improvement in JoJo's behavior since working with Tony. Both JoJo and my Mom love working with Tony and look forward to their session's. I would highly recommend Crazy Daisy's Dog Training. Great business, run by great people.
Maine Point Kennels
Recent Reviews:
I highly recommend Paul and Maine Point Kennels for anyone looking for exceptional dog training services. I brought my two dogs here for obedience and gundog training, and the experience has been nothing short of outstanding. Paul is a true professional, demonstrating a remarkable blend of expertise in both obedience and gun dog training. Their approach is not only highly effective but also patient and encouraging, which made a huge difference in my dogs' progress. My dogs have shown tremendous improvement in their obedience skills and have developed a new level of confidence and responsiveness. The gun dog training has been equally impressive, with noticeable enhancements in their focus and performance. The facility itself is top-notch, clean, and well-equipped, and the staff are always friendly and supportive. It's clear that they genuinely care about the well-being and success of every dog they work with. They also offer a pickup/drop off shuttle service that is easy, affordable, and super helpful! If you're looking for a place where your dogs will receive expert care and training in a positive and supportive environment, Maine Point Kennels is the place to go. Thank you Paul and Sinead for all the hard work and dedication you've put into helping my dogs become their best selves! We'll see you again soon!
An amazing experience for both me and my dog. You can really see the care they put into training the dog and owner. I love that it is a veteran owned and run company that has quality equipment and personnel. We have a hard headed old English bulldog and they not only get through to him but he loves going there as well. We use them for boarding whenever we leave town because we know they don't just sit in a kennel all day.
Paul is amazing with our 5 month old puppy and we are really happy with his services. We got Atlas when he was 10 weeks old and started working with Paul when he was 12 weeks old. We just got him back after he stayed with Paul and his wife for 2 weeks for board and train and he is listening a lot better!! He is still puppy and still has his craziness but even after a few hours there is a huge difference. Paul is very understanding, patient, and straightforward with us. He has the best interest for us and Atlas to all succeed. He truly is an amazing trainer and I highly recommend him!!
We can't recommend Maine Point Kennels, Paul and Sinead enough! Although we live a bit of a distance away, Paul has been an incredible resource for our family and our pit mix. His wealth of knowledge and expert advice has made a world of difference as we train our dog to be more suitable for our growing family. Paul is patient, approachable, and always willing to offer guidance when needed. If you're looking for a professional who truly understands dogs and their training needs, look no further than Maine Point Kennels. Thank you, Paul, for your ongoing support and dedication!
I researched on training and obedient schools for roughly 3-5 weeks prior to selecting Maine Point Kennels. Out of all of the positive reviews I decided to take the leap and invest in my 6 month old German Short haired pointer pup. I had the opportunity to have Paul and as my trainer and it was well worth the investment. Prior to arriving, my GSP would pull very aggressively on walks, bark at any other dog / person, counter surf and I could not eat any meal in front of him without him being crated. 3 weeks was also a very long time for my pup to be away, but Paul was fantastic in his communication. I received daily pictures of progress with details of what they worked on that day. I asked A LOT of questions and Paul was very patient in responding and answering all my questions. Once the 3 weeks were over, my pup was returned by Paul followed by a 3 hour turnover of what they worked on and how I should proceed with training on my own. Paul showed me how to walk with my pup and I was astonished how well he was walking, I didn’t have to pull him back once, I can eat food with him sitting in place, in general a completely different dog. My pup did show signs of trying to revert back to some of his old ways, (minor pulling on leash when walking, not heeling as close to my side but still a game changer to where he was) Once he started reverting back to his old ways, Paul called me and gave me a few best practices and even offered to come back to me to help with the training. Overall, very satisfied with the work and training they did for my pup. Thank you Paul! You are a true professional and I love this veteran owned business!
We had the pleasure of having our pup go through training with Maine Point Kennels. After back and forth consideration upon utilizing service's, with the help and alignment from Paul, things began to take shape. Our pup then met Paul; what a phenomenal human! (Which is an understatement!) Instant connection with our Pup Lucky and off to Hogwarts he went for a 2 week board & training! The passion, dedication and attention to detail Paul exuded while training our pup was astounding! Words can not express our appreciation & gratitude. It’s now been about 1 week from going through training and life could not be better! Manners are an understatement and higher self of steam radiates from our pup! Thank you Paul for bringing your skills and passion to Maine Point Kennels! It was truly an honor to have you as our pups trainer. Thank you for being you and thank you for sharing your grift and helping our family! Most of all thank you for your service to our country! May the universe protect you and your family upon every step you take in abundance with alignment & ease!
I had such a fantastic experience with Maine Pointe. The entire process was seamless and positive, from my initial phone call to picking up my dog. I opted for the two-week program, and my one-year-old Golden Retriever was paired with Paul. He truly works miracles! When I picked up my dog, He reviewed everything he had taught Brodie, so I felt well-prepared to build on his foundation. Brodie continues to excel and is much calmer and better behaved-overall. He no longer takes 10 minutes to settle down when he meets a stranger. Walking him was daunting and frustrating as he would pull and try to greet everyone passing by. I love taking him out for exercise and appreciate that he can go off-leash and explore without issues. Paul’s expertise and care have vastly improved our quality of life.
Cannot express enough the amount of attention and detail Paul put into training our pup! He is a professional in all aspects and would recommend him to any and all dog owners looking to get their dog off leash. I'll never forget to wallllk the dog as my pup now walks me
Paul is a true professional! Very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do, Paul and Sinead run a great kennel! Very clean facility and top notch training, very happy with choosing Maine Point Kennels!
Outstanding business that is veteran owned and operated! Your dogs will recieve the best training here and of course lots of love 💗 …

Very compassionate and professional. Jessica did an amazing job! My Olga smells so good and is so soft after her treatments. Jessica even put a pretty little bandanna on her. I Highly recommend Grand Paws Pet Salon!
Called to get a estimate on my 3 lb to get her first bath.. over $100 it's just about ridiculous who can afford that? I cannot believe what places like discharge so much to give a 3 lb dog a bath. I wasn't looking for a bougie bath with bubbles 🥂 cheers I'll go elsewhere thanks but for that price I can get two of my dogs done. And clipped
Highly Recommend! My pup had his spa day and he smells so good and his coat is so soft! Super friendly!
We just moved to the area and we're very concerned about getting a new groomer. We have a labradoodle and she had been going to the same groomer for 4 years. The team at Grand Paws was amazing! They did a great job and got her in and out so she didn't have to sit in a crate all day. I highly recommend this pet salon.
Our experience with Grand Paws mobile van was a new and great experience. So convenient and Jessica made our dog Rosie feel so comfortable and safe. She had the works and feels and smells so good. Rosie even gave Jessica a goodby kiss 💜 We highly recommend !!! …
Our dog has not been groomed for about 3 years. She is a Lab/Great Pyrenees. They did a great job, very professional and very attentive. Highly recommended.
We had our first mobile grooming appointment for our dog this week and it was awesome! Our dog has never been this clean and typically she is traumatized by the whole bathing process (she is terrified of water) but she was happy and playful after her visit. Will definitely continue using this company/service-they are amazing!
My cat has a hard time grooming herself with all her fur so she mats up everywhere, we decided to do the lion cut. She came back so happy! All she does is show it off. The groomer was punctual, friendly, and thorough.
We have nothing but great things to say about Grand Paws Pet Salon. They are professional, courteous, kind and genuinely care. They do a great job and we highly recommend them. Thank you, Rich & Paula
Love, Love this service! Both dogs get their nails done at the same time! Right at the house. They’re not stressed at all and jump right into their vehicle! Done so quickly!
