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!

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.

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.

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

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!

I'm thoughtful, tidy and kind. Great with pets, farm animals and plants too!
I can’t say enough good things about Losida. She was on top of everything, kind, tidy, fun, and took excellent care of our dogs and house.

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.

Starlet was excellent, and we enjoyed meeting her. She looked after Alice impeccably, arrived as scheduled, and all around did a great job! We would definitely ask her back.

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.

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.

Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
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.
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
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.
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!
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!

You can't find anyone in Maine who will love your pet as much as you do, except for Laurie! She puts everything she has into her work because she is passionate about animals and she is the consummate professional. Until I moved to California, I used Laurie exclusively to take care of my Labrador and I never had the slightest concern about my dog's safety or happiness. Contact Laurie, meet her in person, and you'll see what I mean. She is incredible!
Laurie's service is unparalleled! Thor, our 98 lb. German Shepard and Darby our 3-legged force of nature were in her care on several occasions while traveling. We love our pets and it was so nice to be able to have somebody we can trust take care of them so we we were able to enjoy our vacation. We are at the point that we will schedule our vacations around The Prominent Pet's availability. We got pictures every day, and the proof was in the pudding when we came home to bright eyes and wagging tails.
We've entrusted Laurie at The Prominent Pet for years with my dog and two cats! She is so caring and compassionate with animals and give them what they need. We've used her services from simple dog walks when our schedules won't allow, to overnight stays for up to a week when we were on vacation. She is a dream sitter for our furry kids.
Laurie takes amazing care of our dog and two cats when we are out of town. They are always relaxed, well-cared for, and content when we get back home. Laurie is fantastic about checking in and will send us pictures of them while we are away. I completely trust Laurie with our fur babies and in our home. She’s the BEST! Highly recommend!
To preface this review, I am not someone who ever wants to go anywhere without my dogs, but we needed to be away for the weekend. I lucked out and found Laurie...She is a blessing! Prior to leaving for the weekend, I stopped by Laurie’s home for payment...I was promptly greeted by 2 beautiful and well behaved dogs with joyful kisses In her beautifully maintained home! She is a wonderful pet owner herself. I knew she was going to take such great care of my babies. Laurie is a true professional from start to finish. She showed up at our home for our first meeting with pen in hand and wrote everything down as we chatted. All three of our dogs took to her right away. That spoke volumes for us because our pack doesn’t let just anyone into their circle or home. Laurie has such a calm and kind demeanor. We knew she was the perfect person to leave our dogs in her care with. Our weekend away was spectacular. Laurie kept us up to date every day with stories and photographs! It was so relieving to know everyone was happy! Unfortunately, our puppy was naughty and ate plants and other goods...Laurie cleaned everything up. Our house looked great (minus a couple of floor plants) upon our return home. Thank you Laurie, for being the real deal!
Amazing care provided including daily updates with photos! Laurie is reliable, reasonably priced and genuinely loves what she does. From old dogs to new pups, timid cats and rambunctious chickens, Laurie handles it with ease! Can’t speak highly enough for this wonderful service!! Not to mention she leaves the house immaculate, waters plants brings in mail and has suggestions for any cleaning tips I ask of her. We love Laurie as much as our pets do!!
Laurie has dog-sat at our house several times with our two Rottweilers. The boys adore her and it is such a relief knowing they are safe and happy at home with Laurie. She is always vey responsive when we reach out and she sends pics and video updates of the dogs while we’re a way. My dogs are a lot of work and Laurie does a great job with them. I recommend her wholeheartedly!
Laurie watched our cat Leo while we were on a week long vacation. She sent daily updates and pictures ( he is usually shy with strangers, but he seemed to really like Laurie ). She took a real interest in his well-being. We are thankful to know we have a professional like Laurie the next time we go away. She was really great!!
Laurie is both amazing with pets and amazing to work with! She is super flexible with our hectic schedule and is always accommodating and willing to care for our pup at all hours. I’ve ran into her taking care of other dogs and you can tell she loves them! She always has them in her control but it super sweet to them at the same time! And my fur babies lover her!
Laurie has been taking care of my two dogs for almost ten years. First she took care of them when she and I both lived in Southern Maine/NH. Then I moved to the Portland area four years ago and struggled to find reliable and trustworthy pet sitters to take care of my now senior dogs. Upon looking at my vet’s website for referrals I saw Laurie’s name! The shear joy and relief I felt when I realized Laurie was operating her business in this area was tremendous. She is my first call whenever I need someone to take care of the boys and/or stay in our home. You cannot find a better dog sitter!
New Client. Long time Golden Owners. Love how clean the Portland facility was. Designed smartly for Pets to be coming and going without causing problems at the entrance. They put two entrances. Smart. Waiting areas , same thing. The team members where cleaning stalls and maintaining the property with pleasure. And the monitors on all the rooms in the reception area. Liked it. The App is rather friendly to use. Great. Cant find any reason why not to call this my 2 Dogs (Brady & Brandy) "Home away from Home"
Amazing place and an amazing staff. I was running late to pick up my dog. They were supposed to be closing at 6:30 but they stayed past then so I could pick up my dog.
The staff at Camp Bow Wow take such great care of Lava, and are always so excited to see her! Lava loves to play at Camp Bow Wow during the day or for sleepaway camp!
We highly recommend Camp Bow Wow Portland. Our Irish Setter girl loves to go there to board and for day care. The staff is friendly and caring.
We love the friendly staff and clean facility. They love dogs and it shows, our dog can’t wait to go to daycare. We’ve used the boarding facilities as well and could not ask for better service, highly recommend!
Our pup love Camp Bow Wow and so do we. Hami is always so excited to go in and play with his dog friends but really loves his staff friends the most. He goes weekly and we board him as well every now and then because he likes it so much and it can be more convenient than getting him to a relative and the peace of mind knowing he’s safe and not getting into anything is great. I’d highly recommend this facility over other nearby options, Hami used to go to the one very close by and are so happy we swapped to Bow Wow.
My pup Alex loves going to camp bow wow!! I like the add on services available and that i can check in on him with the dog cams. Staff is great amf do not hesitate to call if they feel your pup is not feeling well - piece of mind for me that he is having fun and well cared for while there
Everyone there is so lovely. Our Sadie is a bit of a handful but everyone is so nice about dealing with her. We really appreciate how patient they are with her craziness.
I brought my 6 month old english setter in for her first interview and I was thrilled to be able to check in on her throughout the day with their doggie cams. She seemed so happy and the staff were all super friendly. I can't wait to bring my little girl back to play again!
My puppy Papillon, Holly, absolutely loves attending camp during the work week. Every morning, we get up and sing our own "Camp Bow-Wow" song and her tail wags so uncontrollably that she wiggles all over with excitement! When dropping her off, she loves to greet the staff with morning barks and scratches at the door to get through to her friends! Everybody who works at CBW, Portland, know my dog's name and treat her with so much warmth and love! The staff are always smiling and keep me up-dated on Holly's doings when I pick her up. The facility is always clean, run very well and even provided Holly with a jacket when she got too cold. Camp Bow Wow is an awesome experience for any dog! Katie and Holly Clark
Deb and company are great. My dog Finley age 2 was very shy never being socialized with other dogs. The staff was great with her gently encouraged her to get comfortable. Now she loves dog daycare. I highly recommend.
Always available great place
This is by far the most fun and fulfilling job I’ve ever worked at. My stranger reactive/dog selective pup, Sundae, also loves it here! It’s amazing to see how far she’s come with the staff, even rolling over for belly rubs from them and jumping on them to get kisses. I love getting the daily report cards and seeing my selective girl get the chance to make friends and play her little heart out. They also make sure to let my more lazy pup, Moose, get as many naps as he needs and sneak him some cookies when I’m not looking. My dogs love it here and so do I! Thank you Roscoes <3
There are not enough characters available to tell you all the reasons I/we love this place. Bottom line is my big baby Rip wags his tail when we pull in the lot and can't wait to get through the door to play. He is happy and exhausted when I pick him up. I trust this staff at Roscoe's 100% with my boy and this means everything!! They've helped me learn more about some of his puppy/adolescent behaviors and helped with redirecting tips. They even surprised me with a bday photo! Every month they offer a different photo shoot for a nominal fee. My lil turkey!! They're amazing. We are thankful for Roscoe's!
My pup has been going to Roscoe's for almost 2 years and we are big fans! The staff are all so friendly and take great care of my pup while he is there. I am also so pleased with the level of communication! They call or communicate at pick up anything we need to know, and the daily report cards are great - I always look forward to their photos! It's nice to be able to watch my dog on the live webcams. My dog always has a great time here, and I feel good leaving him in the care of such wonderful people. Highly recommend!
Roscoe's was recommended to me by my dog's vet when he was a small puppy. That was about three years ago, and he's been going regularly ever since. I could not be happier with the care he gets there, and the people are nothing but terrific. They're friendly and helpful in times of need (such as last-minute overnights for family emergencies), and they clearly love the dogs they get to spend their days with (mine in particular, of course). It's exactly what we needed for our Springer Spaniel as well as the rest of our family.
Pops loves it there, though he does seem prefer the company of the playgroup supervisor over the dogs. We love the webcams! I'm constantly checking in on him at work and everybody here loves watching the dogs. And the optional photo shoot packages are great!
My dog has been there for 10 stays and gotten kennel cough 3 times. The most recent time picking him up it had already progressed badly enough that he needed to be taken to the emergency vet. They ignore warning signs and do not isolate dogs that are exhibiting symptoms regardless of how severe. It is a nice space, and the webcam to watch your dogs is great, but not worth the risk.
My dog stays at roscoes whenever I go on a trip. It's nice to be able to see him on cameras and check in on him while I'm gone. I also love seeing the report cards and the pictures they send!
My dog loves the VIP program. The more individualized program with less dogs, which means less chaos for him. He gets his energy out playing with a few dogs. He’s happy and safe.
Roscoe's is truly the best. I always know my dog, Jerry, is having fun and being well cared for and I love the report cards we get at the end of each day with photos of Jerry and his friends! I also love their availability for daycare and overnights that make spur of the moment plans a breeze!
Love how they care for your pet as their own! Also love the videos and pictures they send. I like that you can check in with the cameras to catch your dog having fun!
Happy Tails is a warm and friendly place and Rory just absolutely loves going there! They have helped him with his anxiety and often match him with specific dogs that he plays really well with!
We used Happy Tails for when we went cross country to California. May 30-June 12 it was under $800 and that included doggy daycare. Our dog was happy and healthy when we got back with no problems at all.
So thankful for happy tails! The staff is wonderful and have always been very accommodating to both of my dogs. One of my dogs requires a lot more patience and they have gone above and beyond for him. Plus, they always leave tired and happy! The “report cards” are super cute and fun too.
I have a VERY sensitive dog and this is the only daycare out of the 5 or 6 I have been to that he gets excited to go to in the morning. He is very happy to see each and every member of the staff. Begrudgingly, even the nice lady who does his nails. The owner has a strong presence at the business and he is very passionate about the care of your animals. Keep up the good work guys!
Happy Tails is the best doggy day care we’ve sent our dog to in all of New England!! The staff is friendly and know what they’re doing. Our dog always comes home happy!
I have a 2 year old Siberian husky who attended daycare multiple times. She has been accustomed to daycare since she was 4 months old and had no problems whatsoever. After my dog had spent multiple days a week at Happy Tails, I was told that i needed to have a discussion about my dog’s anxiety during break time. I was not aware that this day care had break time, where they put the dogs in separate kennels that resemble animal shelter cells. I do not kennel my dog, she’s a Siberian husky/malamute mix who is very active. She has attended multiple daycares who do not practice “break time.” She can self regulate, and frankly I am not willing to pay $50 per day for her to be forced to have a break time where she is separated from the other dogs and is locked into a kennel. I am glad that I never brought my older husky to this daycare whom I adopted from the shelter, as I feel these “break” times would have brought back too many traumatic memories. Do not recommend this daycare mainly because they do not know how to handle active dogs and want to discuss “your dog’s anxiety” after they lock them in an individual cell away from all of the other dogs.
I cannot recommend Happy Tails enough. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. They go above and beyond for our two dogs. They conduct pawsonality interviews for new dogs to make sure it’s a good fit for all (I so appreciate that daycare and boarding facilities do this!) and our dog Cleo struggled during hers - she suffers from some anxiety and HT worked through a variety of options - housing her in the larger kennel, housing her with her brother Boots and also trying a crate. I spoke on the phone with the manager multiple times during her first few visits and worked out a plan for her that would ultimately make her the happiest and most successful when staying at HT. The amount of thoughtfulness, professionalism and care that they provide for our dogs is unmatched. Cleo has tried other daycares where she says “nope, not going in.” When we arrive at HT her entire body wiggles from excitement and she cannot wait to go. They know the personalities of our two dogs better than anyone and they have them in the appropriate groups of other dogs they get along with and let them go out to the bathroom together before bed when they board there so they can say goodnight to one another. If only every daycare and boarding facility could be like Happy Tails.
Having just moved to the Portland area, I decided to try Happy Tails out for my two dogs. The moment the owner referred to my Sharpei as a “power breed,” I knew my dogs wouldn’t be treated with the love and kindness they more than deserve. After their two visits, I was told they did well. However, when I tried to schedule them for boarding, the the owner informed me that I would have to bring them at least five times before boarding bc they showed signs of anxiety. Even then, he said they might not be able to board. Thankfully, this is the only place we have ever received this kind of treatment. We now go to a daycare and boarding facility that welcomes my pups with open arms and they have a blast swimming and playing with other dogs.
I've been taking our pup here since she was old enough to go. She LOVES it. We had to stop while she wasn't spayed and life was brutal. I work long shifts, and not many places can accommodate 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM. The staff loves their clients for sure. She's always excited to go, and sleeps like a rock. I drive out of my way to come here. Also have a great walking service with an app to go with to keep you informed! We love Happy Tails
Been to other places and this is by far the absolute best dog day care and boarding around! They are responsible, attentive, kind and dedicated. They get to know each dog and ensure s/he has an excellent experience. My two dogs flip out when we say, "Wanna go to ... Happy Tails?" It's our favorite :)
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!
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 took our 2 rescue dogs to Magic of Paws for day care while we attended a family funeral. Neither dog had ever been to day care, or been boarded in a kennel, and I was worried about how they would handle the experience. Nyssa was very reassuring when we dropped them off, and they didn't even seem to notice when we left. 5 hours later, we picked up 2 very tired, apparently happy dogs. Getting a report card on their stay was a nice touch. We won't hesitate to use Magic of Paws again!
Mary has been grooming and or boarding my girls since my first dog. Mimi was my first, now she is taking care if my two girls Thank you so much 💗 💓. You make us feel special. Pickles and Mitzi. …
We’ve been here twice. The staff is just totally rude and unprofessional. I know some people here have said the opposite, but the first time we went we got lost because the GPS is not accurate for their location. I called them and the woman was very rude trying to tell me directions. I was confused and asked a clarifying question, to which she replied “no! You’re not listening to me!” And i was like, ??? I’m very confused where you are located, why can’t you be patient with me? When we dropped our puppy off everything was fine, then we picked him up and the same woman made another rude comment because the owner said our puppy (chocolate lab) wouldn’t grow that big. We just said we’ve heard the opposite especially since he has big paws! The woman said “well it’s not like she’s been working with dogs for 50 years or whatever”. I was just taken aback by such a cut tone. Today, we went to go again and the owner came out and very rudely said “guys, we have no power.” I said oh I’m sorry, we had no idea, we never received a cancellation call. And she had nothing to say to that. She suggested we try somewhere else but she kept saying how she had no power or hot water etc. i said again, I’m sorry we just had no idea. How were we supposed to know without a call? She had no reply to it. I gave two stars because the first time our puppy did come home clean! But the staff is just awfully rude and we will not be coming back.
When we are in Maine we always use Keoke for our dogs. Prices are reasonable and they consistently give first quality dog care.
Have been so happy with this boarding facility. The owner and workers are so sweet and so amazing with my wild child. The facility is clean, organized and the property is beautiful. On top of that my dog was medicated appropriately during her stay (which is a feat as she has lots of needs). Affordable as well, highly recommend for boarding.
Love them!! Always very accommodating. He looks so handsome when they are done grooming him. Thank you Mary!!
I couldn't take care of my dog anymore after my brain bleed and so she now lives with Mary, owner of Keoke Kennels. Jolly had to have her eyes removed because they were deformed and diseased. The bad review by one person upset me because I found heaven on Earth for Jolly. It takes someone special to be the furever home giver to a blind 5 year old dog!!! I spent a fortune on my dog's eyes and she was at the kennel a lot after my bleed and if it's good enough for my dog it's the best!!!
I took my little Yorkie, to Keoke Kennels and grooming, to be groomed. She absolutely RUINED my poor little baby’s hair. It was so chopped up, all over his body, from his head down to his feet. She did not even cut the hair off on the bottom of his feet, and actually cut him pretty bad, underneath his little belly with the clippers. I called her about these concerns, and she got mad over it. I am so upset over this, and I would be ashamed to take him out in public. I would not take a dead chicken to her, to cut it’s feathers. I absolutely would NOT recommend her to anyone, as far as grooming.
My wife and I have brought our dogs here for years. Great prices and Staff is always friendly. Mary loves our dog and has always said whenever we needed, she would make sure she had room for her. My dog is super shy and doesn’t do well with men due to past trauma from before her adoption and the staff is on top of it and are super gentle with her. I will keep continuing using this kennel and will recommend it to anyone!
When I dropped off my dog, I had given a bag with the exact number of meals for food, treats, some toys, and chew bones as he’s an aggressive chewer. When I picked him up a few days later, there was still a meal in the bag, had given him some treats but left the bag open so they went stale, they hadn’t given him any of his chew bones or toys, and had told me they fed him hot dogs. My dog doesn’t eat table food, and had diarrhea for more than a day. Not to mention, he smelled like pee when I picked him up. I tried to call the office to express my concerns, especially about not asking the dog owner if he can eat other food that in turn made him sick, and no one answered the phone all day. I do not recommend this kennel.
Mary and her girls do a wonderful job grooming dogs. Mary runs her shop with a friendly smile to everyone.
Suntar's Kennels also does grooming. We use them to trim one of the dog's claws as he doesn't need grooming and they do a great job of taking care of this very strong dog that hates having his claws trimmed. Our Cockier Spaniel seems to view his grooming appointments as a spa day. He is always happy to go and I must say looks quite debonair after his grooming appointments. We've not had occasion to use their boarding but I looked and it appears very clean and that the animals are well cared for. There is a play area for them to get exercise. I wouldn't hesitate to board our dogs here. And the grooming service is excellent. Highly recommended.
The staff at Suntar's Kennels were wonderful with our two dogs this past week! It was our dogs' first time boarding away from home, and the staff took great care of them, slowly eased them into playtime with the other dogs, and were very considerate and caring with them. Many thanks, again!
I Called Suntar's Kennels on a whim when I showed up to my cabin that was "pet friendly" all to find out my dog could not be left in the cabin unattended (even if caged) for any period of time. Afraid my children's vacation was ruined I called these guys and they told me to bring him over. He is a only a year, high energy, anxious dog and had never boarded before so I was so afraid. They answered when we called and helped us feel confident he was being well taken care of and not locked away somewhere. By time we came to get him he was trying to stay! Would recommend any day. My family thanks you for taking care of our furry child so everyone, including Gunner, could enjoy their Vacation!
We have been taking our dog to boarding and daycare at Suntars for almost a year and I can’t say enough good things. These folks are so kind and helpful and our dog LOVES her days there. I recommend this daycare to anyone who asks!
They are such a wonderful group of people. Elaina always does such a great job grooming my dog. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of grooming, daycare, and boarding.
They treat my little buddy like one of their own. Incredibly sweet, and caring staff, who take excellent care of my pup. My doggo goes there for daycare and now grooming as well! Cannot recommend them enough ❤️
This place is wonderful! We drove from California to Maine to attend an event where our kitty cat wasn’t allowed, and so she spent five days here. Found Suntar’s online, and chose it thanks to good reviews. Setting up the reservation with Gryta was easy and I could tell she really cares about the well being of the cats and dogs who have the good fortune to play and stay here. We dropped off Merlie Bird early on a Monday. It was her first time away from us since she had come into our lives six months prior, so the good-bye was a little teary. The friendly and efficient staff did a great job of getting the details of feeding and playtime, and we checked in daily to see how things were going - reports were pretty good considering it was a first-time stay for Merlie at a pet boarding home - good appetite but more reserved than usual during the times she spent in the common space. There are a lot of options for kitties to play, climb and snuggle, and she did a lot of snuggling in a cozy covered kitty bed. Several of the kennels have nice window views, and when one of those came available the staff was happy to move her to one so she could look outside more easily. We camp a lot so Merlie was happy to get back to our tent, but we could tell she was very well cared for in her time at Suntar’s. And, we will definitely have her stay here again if the opportunity comes up.
Very accommodating to my pet and I during a pinch. Also very fairly priced. Looking forward to continue using their boarding services.
These folks love my baby!! He was so nervous his 1st time but they were so good to him! Now when he goes he is all excited! It is great to be able to go somewhere and not worry if he is ok. Love seeing his pics on their FB & INSTA pages!! Suntar we love you guys!!!
We have brought our dog Franklin to Suntars for 3 years now and absolutely love them! We are always so happy with their grooming services. Our groomer, Elena is the absolute best and truly cares about Franklin. This is a clean, safe space for your animal and you will be happy with their pricing too!
