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

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!
Barbara
Providing Pet Sitting in the Bowdoinham, Maine
I am a caring, responsible and active older woman.
Barbara was an excellent house and cat sitter. Communication with her from the word go was straightforward, and easy and it was clear that she would be completely self sufficient and confident in managing the travelling to the island, and caring for Stan and the house. She stayed in touch throughout her stay and I felt calm and confident that all was well with my beloved cat and home, and even updated me on the welfare of some of the street cats that I feed. If Barbara applies for a sit for you, then you can have every confidence that she is more than 100% reliable and will do an excellent job!
Lacey
Providing Pet Sitting in the Bowdoinham, Maine
House proud, reliable, animal loving couple both in our 30s.
Lacey and Jay were such an amazing house sitters and pet care takers to my 10 year old cat, Bane. I cannot recommend them enough for future house-sits, they were supremely responsible, understanding to my house's quirks, responsive and gave great updates, thoughtful, organized, and very clean! I am so grateful to both Lacey and Jay for allowing my trip to Scotland to be as fun as possible, as I didn't worry about a thing with them at the helm back home. Many thanks to you both!
Rosemary
Providing Pet Sitting in the Bowdoinham, Maine
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!!!
Alisia
Providing Pet Sitting in the Bowdoinham, Maine
Love animals! Responsible, reliable, communicative, caring & follow instruction
We were extremely happy with the way Alisia not only took care of our house, leaving it clean and tidy, but also - more importantly - how well she treated our pets, our three dogs - Siog, Lugh and Einstein. When we returned after six weeks away, all ‘Three Musketeers’ were in great form, having been exercised every day (and cuddled when a cuddle was necessary). Sensitive to our concerns about their welfare in our absence, Alisia also sent us photographs and videos of them every day which eased our concerns immensely and helped make our holiday all the more enjoyable and worry-free. We would have no hesitation in recommending Alisia as house and pet- sitter as we have every confidence, thoughtful and sensitive as she is, that she would do as good a job for anyone as she did for us. Thank you Alisia.
Caleb
Providing Pet Sitting in the Bowdoinham, Maine
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.
Ciara
Providing Pet Sitting in the Bowdoinham, 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 Dog Owners
Jeff
My dog had a medical emergency while in John’s care and I credit him with saving my pup’s life. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter in a pressure situation. He also communicated regularly during the stay, keeping me posted on how my pup was doing. Would recommend John to anyone who needs a sitter they can trust.

Angela Gandolfo and Erica Piazza came to stay at our house while we were away on vacation for two weeks. Our two dogs are a handful, but these two lovely women took such good care of them. They spoiled them even more than we do, which is perfect. We got photos every day, and when we came home our house was tidy and there were clean sheets on the bed. I couldn't have asked for better house and pet sitters than these two women. They communicated well with us, and if they had questions, they asked. It was a pleasure to work with both Angela and Erica. We had to cut our vacation short because of a death in the family. It was really stressful, but once again, Angela and Erica were flexible and understanding. It made a difficult time easier, knowing that things at home were being managed so well. I'm hoping that if we ever have to go away again for such a long time, I will be able to get these two back here again! (hint hint) Thank you, Angela and Erica!
Jacqueline
If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Adrienne
We loved Misty!!!! She was absolutely the most perfect baby sitter for our dog and an amazing short term tenant at our house. Not only did she keep the house clean but she even washed everything she used before we got home. We even got a couple gifts from her. She is such a sweet human, kept in contact with us while we were gone and sent videos of the hikes and walks they went on. I would 100% ask her to stay at our house again

We initially accepted Deirdre and Jason for a long stay to look after our dogs. We were very happy they accepted. A few weeks later we realized we needed another sitter for another trip we had planned. So, we posted more dates on zeewoi. To our happy surprise, Deirdre and Jason reached out to us saying they could also look after our dogs and home with the new dates we posted. This made our life much easier and we were very confident to have Deirdre and Jason stay longer with us and care for our dogs. We were definitely right!! D&J have countless experiences on zeewoi with very good reviews from all of their previous sits. They are very experienced with all aspects of a house/pet sitting. D&J are very self-sufficient, have the background knowledge and education of pet care, and most importantly a genuine love for all animals. This is most important for my wife and I. We knew from the first meeting with our pups they loved animals. Communication was excellent. The process before and during our sit was stress-free for us. We were given daily updates on our dogs including photos and videos. Any concerns D&J had were vocalized to us. D&J are also problem solvers and know how to react many challenging situations. Our routine for our pets was followed immaculately and all dogs were very happy and connected with them. Even our female dog Kinki grew close so quickly with D&J which is very rare. We had ZERO issues while we were gone and we were able to really enjoy our trip while we were away. The dogs definitely love being around D&J. Homecare: We are very pleased with the condition of our home when we returned. It was clean, free of clutter, and exactly how we had left it for them, if not even better! D&J even mowed our grass and took care of our yard! Our yard is not a small garden. It is very big and takes hours to mow. So we were very surprised and excited to know they did that for us even though it's not expected of our sitters!! They definitely went above and beyond what is expected. Our dogs are so very important to us. When we know we can trust our sitters it's the best feeling in the world. We definitely trust Deirdre and Jason with our most prized possessions and we look forward to the next sit with them in a few days!!! We can't thank them enough for giving our dogs the love and attention they deserve. We highly recommend Deirdre and Jason for your future sittings and you can always feel free to contact Izabela and I about D&J for additional verification from us. They are fantastic! Thanks so much Deirdre and Jason! -Allen and Izabela

Joe arrived some days before I left, so I could show him some nice places in Switzerland and he had enough of time to learn all about the dogs and how to handle them. He is an amazing nice and an animal/natur loving person who took care of my dog with incredible affection when I was in vacation. I could really enjoy it, because I knew, everything is ok at home. He sent me picutres and I could see, how much fun they have together. He cooked for the dogs, mad a lot of nice hikes with them and huged them, when they need it - so he even got the trust from Artu (as a man really not easy). And not only that, he made woodruff punch for me and sowed my tomatoes and spoiled them with melt water. And he helped also the women which looked after the horses and helped her to going walk with them. Generelly he is super friendly, so everyone in the village likes him. He is considerate of your belongings and has handed the house back neatly. He is just the best. I'm so gratuful he was here. So, if you have a chance to get him as a sitter, take it. Your animals will be grateful to you and have a good time while you are on vacation. Joe, you're not just a dog sitter for me. You were so familiar to me from the first moment. We had a lot of fun and we already miss you sooooo much. I'm really looking forward to see you again in some monthes.

Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!
Eddie & Alvin
Shannon and Travis stepped up at the last minute when an earlier sitter canceled. Shannon and Travis took care our our large brood of animals for two weeks while we were out of the country over the Christmas holiday. They kept us informed about what was happening with the animals and our home. Our dog Pepper doesn’t like most people, but loved Travis and Shannon immediately. I would not hesitate to welcome Shannon and Travis back for another sit. They are very honest and friendly people. Their dog Dime is also awesome.
Jane
Piper was a wonderful sitter and I would definitely have her come again. My dog .Winston loved her and was very happy while I was gone. When I returned home everything was orderly and clean, she changed her bed and washed all the towels. I totallly recommend Piper to sit at your home.
Katherine
Angela was fantastic. She came a day early to meet us and our dog Bella and to get the lay of the land and we so enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her! She took care of our home and Bella with the utmost care and attention. She was great to communicate with throughout the sit and we felt confidant being away knowing our dog and home were in such good hands! We returned to a clean house and she even prepared dinner for us! It was clear that Bella was happy, well taken care of and very fond of her!! We would definitely recommend Angela. She was a reliable sitter and a delightful person all around!!

Free Range Fido
Recent Reviews:
We left our sweet Louie for the first time ever and after receiving daily updates, messages, photos and videos, we were afraid he may never want to come home with us! Lynn put all of our worries at ease before, during and after the trip. Louie made friends - human and canine - and had the best time during his vacation at Free Range Fido! We can't say enough about the positive experience and recommend FRF to anybody looking for a safe, nurturing and super-fun getaway for their pooch. Thank you so much, Lynn! Louie loves you and we are so thankful!
Birdie stayed out at Free Range Fido this past weekend for the first time. I have to admit that I had some anxiety leaving her with someone who wasn't family because she has a lot of energy and is super high maintenance. We received videos, pictures and daily updates of of Birdie's mini vacation that made all of our worries go away. We saw her play with other pups, chased endless tennis balls in the huge fenced in yard, go on sniffing safari's and even spend some one on one time with Lynn. When we picked her up she barely moved off the couch other than to eat. We definitely will be using Free Range Fido again for visits!
I am a few years late to the game, but we used Free Range Fido way back in 2021 when we drove all the way up there from Florida with our three dogs. Our younger two labradors just needed a free space to let off some steam and boy did they use every bit of Lynn's space. I just wish that she was closer...but I dont think she wants to move down to Tallahassee. Thanks again.
It is very obvious that the owner, Lynn, loves dogs! Everything about the facility was created with dog happiness in mind, from the large yard and toys to comfy kennels when it's nap time. I loved that she sent pictures and videos while we were away so we could see how much fun he was having! And I know the dogs love her right back because when I went to pick him up, of course he was excited to see me but while we were chatting he went back to give Lynn a hug. ❤️ Thank you so much Lynn! We will be back.😁
I honestly cannot imagine a better place to board your dog. We just wish it were closer to where we live. Lynn could not be nicer, she is incredibly energetic and caring and kind, and gives each dog a lot of individual attention, from throwing the ball for them to taking them on walks to introducing them (on a leash!) to her farm animals. And she sends you lots of photos and videos every day that prove your dog is having a wonderful time.
My dog Bailey goes to free Randge Fido at least three times a week and always comes home ready for bed and a good snuggle. Lynn loves dogs and works with people and there crazy schedules. She will all ways be my top pick for day cares. Not to mention I love getting so many pictures and video up dates through out the day. She makes you feel as if you are part of the family
We took our dog Tucker to Lynn's daycare and I don't think he wanted to come home. Lol He had so much fun. We were gone for a few days and she took such good care of Tucker. What a happy place for a dog to be.♥️🐾
There is no better place for your dog. Lynn Hendrickson no only loves dogs but understands what you dog needs for a happy and healthy life. A place you can leave your dog and know she is well-cared for in every way. BRAVO Lynn!
Omg!! My 2 babies never want to go home now.. Lynn, stop spoiling them so much. Thank you for everything thing you do for Milo & Bailey!!
Big spacious play area, very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive staff. Hola had a great time running and playing with friends.
Dogs' Choice Boarding & Daycare
Recent Reviews:
My two dogs love going to Dog's Choice Boarding! They always have the best adventures on the bay, in boat rides, swimming and running around on the sandbars. Colleen gives them a ton of affection, treats and action packed days! My girls always love coming to Colleen's place and always leave happy and tired from a fun action packed day! I also love her updates from the dog perspective about all their adventures they go on! One of my dogs is deaf and Colleen was so intentional about learning some of her common signs to be able to communicate with her. She really is devoted to all the dogs and learning their needs, even for those with special needs.
Colleen is the ultimate dog whisperer. She treats the dogs in a home atmosphere where they have freedom with safety. Fletcher my golden retriever loves going there. She takes them on hikes and ensures they have playtime. When I am away, I receive pictures and a journal of the day's activities. I know that Fletcher is reluctant to come home as he has such a great time. Highly recommended!!!!!!!
Colleen has been an amazing petsitter for three of our dogs when we have travelled. She completely attends to all the details (our "list" often involves complicated care instructions including medications). She is knowledgeable about breeds and she creates experiences for each dog. Indeed, I think she puts herself into each dog's way of thinking - from the bold to timid ones - and truly pays attention to how they are doing. Often daily, we would get photos and written dispatches. The fun thing is that they are written in our dog's voice, complete stories about their day! I highly recommend Colleen and her super - friendly companion Dory for the most complete pet caregiving experience you can imagine. - Mark
Colleen was willing to take in my 4 month old Golden Doodle puppy. Koda is now 7 months old and has had several daytime stays with Colleen. He ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT!! He gets so excited when we turn the corner onto her street. Colleen is very good about making sure Koda's puppy needs are met. She also communicates very well with me. Highly recommend!!
Magic of Paws
Recent Reviews:
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!
Thank you so much for taking such good care of Olive while we were away! We feel so much better knowing that she’s having a good time with her buddies. She is now snoozing away.
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!
The Coastal Dog, Inc.
Recent Reviews:
We are so grateful for Coastal Dog! Our dog can be a bit of a particular pup but she is more excited to go to Coastal Dog than any other place! She is usually very quiet in the car but starts whining with excitement as soon as we turn down …
The best doggie daycare! Reasonably priced, the most considerate and kind staff, flexible, and I never worry about my dog being there. I know she gets the very best treatment! Highly recommend ❤️🥰 …
Our dog loves it here so much!!!! He always jumps out of the car and runs inside to see his friends. I feel good knowing he is being loved while I’m gone! Highly recommended!
