Buckfield, 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.

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.

Full time traveler experienced in caring for rescue dogs and cats.
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!

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!

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.

I am a perfect company for your loved one.
Tatsiana is AMAZING! She cares for my fur babies as though they were her own. And, they have adopted her as their own. I never have a worry when she's with them. She is so responsible and caring that it provides great piece of mind while I'm traveling.

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!

Dawn was the kind of sitter that you dream of having! My two kitties loved her, she sent pictures of them daily, and she was just thoughtful and awesome all around. I would love to have her come back anytime and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for piece of mind about your pets and home while you're gone!

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.
Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
Such a great family! George, Larissa and their crew were a fantastic bunch. Our large senior dog got an eye infection right before we left for our trip and so we had to ask them to do some extra eye care. When it was clear that it wasn’t getting better they were willing to load up Lorax and take him to a vet appointment and then apply the prescribed ointment for the next week and a half. Definitely above and beyond care that we really appreciated! Our house was left in great shape, our pets were super well cared for, and George and Larissa were great communicators. We have had many many sitters over the past 3 years but this was the first family. Nothing to worry about, they were terrific and we would happily have them back again. Thanks for taking such good care of our fury family and our home!
Liz was a fantastic sitter for our boys and took great care of our home. She was a great communicator and kept us informed of what was happening and how our dogs were doing. She also kept our home clean and tidy. We would be grateful to have Liz sit for us anytime!
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
Wendy sat for us on three occasions this Summer and I can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs were well taken care of and she was, organized, tidy, and responsible. It’s great to find a house/pet sitter that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. We are hoping she will want to spend more time in the PNW!
Brian is awesome - he is simply the best pet sitter and house sitter that we have EVER had and we've had a bunch. He is experienced, thoughtful, respectful, loving, appreciative, helpful, enthusiastic...the list just goes on. Started with our initial call - it was our first sit with zeewoi and he immediately instilled confidence in us in how he talked about his experience and how he saw his role. In the pre-planning, he had great questions for us and helped us to get organized. He was thorough through the instructions, came in a day early to make sure he understood everything about our house and our dog and then followed through on everything. He even drove us to the airport and picked us up on the return. Along the way we were gone, he sent us pictures and kept us updated - always making us feel good about being away and knowing Jorge and the house were in great hands. We had workers coming to fix a fence while gone and some other activity at the house - he was helpful, available, and willing to do whatever was needed to be done. He was self-sufficient and when it came time to leave, he had everything organized and cleaned at the house - he left it in better condition than he received it. We would love to have Brian sit whenever we are away (and in fact will invite him and hope he says yes!) - any one would be lucky to have Brian as their house and pet sitter.
Mikayla was a superb house/dog sitter for us for one full week. She was an excellent communicator, very quiet and tidy (respectful of the space) and best of all she quickly bonded with our big dog Mouse. She cheerfully took her for long walks and shared photo updates regularly. I highly recommend Mikayla.
Duha was such a light to have in our home while we were away. She kept us updated with beautiful photos of our dogs throughout her stay and didn’t leave their side once. I’ve never felt so comfortable with any other sitter and I truly hope this won’t be the last time she sits for us.
First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.
Veronica House sat for us for a month. She cared for our two Dobermans and our cat. Veronica is so enthusiastic about animals. They immediately pick up on her joy and love for them. When some bold alligators made our dogs’ normal exercise routine unsafe, she was faced with the challenging situation of keeping two Dobermans with very different temperaments exercised and entertained in the height of Florida summer with its bugs, heat, and humidity. She met this challenge by taking the dogs for individual outings. She drove our young social dog to the dog park, finding the times when he would most likely have other large playmates and drove our socially anxious dog to the quiet areas of town for walks. This took a lot more time than our normal routine, but it kept our dogs safe and happy. A lasting benefit for us is that our younger dog, once a terror in the car, now rides much more calmly and our anxious dog, once fearful of what the car ride would bring, now happily hops in. Our cat was so content and well-groomed upon my return, it was obvious that she had been getting lots of daily attention, too. Veronica communicated with us on all the happenings with our pets and property every day. I came home to happy and healthy pets and a well cared for home. We feel so fortunate to have had Veronica as a house sitter and look forward to her sitting for us again.

We send our 2 pups to Pawz Lodge regularly for daycare and often for boarding whenever we leave town. We have been using Pawz lodge for about a year now. I have never once worried about the care my dogs will receive when they are there. I have nothing but great things to say about our experience with Pawz lodge. Their staff is awesome, the cleanliness is top notch, the communication is great and your fur babies will have plenty of space in their roomy kennel when boarding. Wether it's boarding or just a daycare day My dogs always come home happy, well cared for and TIRED. and thats all I can ask for. Thanks Pawz Lodge for the continued great care of my boys! (attached photo is from daycare!)
We found Pawz Lodge about 2 years ago when we got our puppy, Pip. We had been looking for a place for daycare and boarding. I am very protective and picky about leaving my dog with people. So, I scoured the internet for dog daycares nearby, I asked for recommendations from friends, I did my research. Pawz Lodge came highly recommended. We saw they were having an open house, to show the new boarding suites they were opening, and thought this was a perfect opportunity to check it out. I met Jenessa and her husband Nate that day, and couldn't have been more impressed! Shortly after, Pip had his first meet and greet to begin daycare! Since then, Pawz Lodge has been like family! Between Pips time boarding, and his regular daycare days, it is CLEAR that they love Pip as much as I do, and they take tremendous care of him! He is always sooo excited when we get close to daycare and can't wait to get out of the car and up the stairs!! He is greeted each morning with "good morning Mr Pip" as he prance through the doorway, off to see what adventures await for him in the play yard! Pawz Lodge facilities are always clean, and the doggos have access to fresh water all the time! They post amazing photos of all of the dogs, and even do birthday parties, holiday activities (ornaments, mothers/fathers day, etc) and photo shoots!! For someone who's pup is their baby, it is so neat to be able to have these cute things things! Now, there is something that stands out to me a lot; Pip is all black, and ironically doesn't care much for water. I would often get concerned about him on the hot days at daycare, even though they have tons of kiddie pools out for the pups to play in, and plenty of water. BUT the staff has always taken such great care of him! Douglass would often place him into a little pool to cool him off, or spray him a bit with the hose to ensure he wasn't over heating! This speaks volumes to me!! If you have ever considered daycare for your pup, or are in need of boarding... You would be doing your doggo a disservice if you didn't contact Pawz Lodge!! 20 out of 10 recommended!! 🐾
Dogs love the space! Reasonably priced, If you go all 5 days a week I believe you do also get a discount.
My dog enjoyed boarding at Pawz Lodge during 2023 Christmas and 2024 New Year holidays, a total of 11 days. My dog seems to enjoy her staying, she was relaxed and playful when we picked her up. We were very happy with the care she was giving, they played with her and our dog definitely enjoyed running in the fenced-in yard. We will definitely board her at Pawz Lodge again when we go away in the future.
I would highly recommend Pawz Lodge over and over again! We boarded both our furry doggy kids in the Family Suite for 20 days and the staff did an amazing job with them! They have boarded before but with other dog interaction and wasn't sure how they would do just by themselves and staff. We were soooo happy to know they were doing great every time we called! The staff followed feeding and meds to the tee from the instructions. Pictures daily of their smiles playing made us know we made the right decision boarding them there!!! Pawz Lodge, thank you again, we will be boarding with you always going forward! Thank you for offering boarding that doesn't require other dog interaction!
Our Dog goes to day-care weekly and he is so excited to go that he gets up and sits by the door on his day! He’s an energetic dog and he comes home tuckered out! We have also utilized the boarding services and again our dog is thrilled to be there and it’s a wonderful feeling to know your pet is well armed for. Pawz is safe, clean, fun and the staff (Doug and Austin!!) are so great with the dogs! We had a medical emergency one afternoon and couldn’t pick our dog up from daycare and the owner quickly transferred him to overnight boarding so we had one less worry. Excellent place for your four-legged family members and is very affordable. Pawz is tremendous in every way!
We used them for boarding, and our dogs seemed well cared for. We loved the pictures they posted to their FB page during the week. We would love to give 5 stars, but there was one gigantic disappointment. Based on the pictures from their website, we thought our dogs would get to play with other dogs all week long. Sadly, this is not the case. Only day care dogs get to play. Boarders sit in a cage all day. They said it was a safety issue. Unfortunately, we found this out at drop off and too late to do anything about it. I did ask if they could be added to the daycare and offered to pay extra. I was told the owner would call me but that never happened. We felt guilty leaving them there all week and it put a damper on our vacation. We ended up picking them up early. It just wasn’t the experience we were looking for, and we won’t be back.
My dog, Maggie, absolutely loves Pawz Lodge. When I met with the owner, Jenessa, on the day of the first “meet and greet”, she was so welcoming, kind, and patient with Maggie. Kristy and Douglas are also awesome with the dogs. They all take the time to answer questions. I love that the dogs are not crated, and they are well supervised throughout the day. It’s fun seeing the daily pictures on Facebook. I’m very picky about who I leave Maggie with, and Pawz Lodge is a place where I know she will be safe and have a great time. And she has no trouble sleeping after a good day of playing with her friends!
Pawz Lodge is an amazing place to bring your dog. From small to large, they all have fun. My dog loves to spend the day. Jenessa is super with all the dogs and I trust her fully with my Flash. Would recommend Pawz Lodge to any dog owner.
We recently boarded our 3 pups here for the first time, and the staff were so great at updating and taking pictures of the boys, easing any worries I had about leaving them 😊 everyone is kind, attentive and caring. They have our trust and we will definitely be leaving our pups here in the future! …
