Elizabeth
Prospect Harbor, Maine
Loving Mother + Daughter
Elizabeth and Norea arrived the night before we left on our trip and I knew immediately that they were a perfect fit for sitting at our rural, alternative home. We have 2 old indoor cats, Bert and Benny, an older dog, Abby, our wild child dog, Rosita, 3 aging hens and an aquarium. Norea fell in love with the cats and looked after cleaning the litter box daily, making sure that Benny had his meds each morning and insured that both cats received a surplus of love and attention. Abby, our older dog is a sweetheart and is easy to love. Rosita is also a sweet girl, but has enough energy for 5 dogs. She can be a challenge, but Elizabeth handled her with patience and consistency. I think Elizabeth's morning walks around the property with the dogs were a highlight. The chickens and fish had no complaints about their care. We cleaned our house before Elizabeth and Norea arrived, and it looked better when we returned from our trip, tidy and spotless. Elizabeth and Norea, a mom and daughter team, are caring, gentle, and trustworthy. I'm privileged to have met them and hope that they can return to watch our home.
Kinsey
Prospect Harbor, Maine
Loving pet sitter and reliable house sitter!
Kinsey stayed with our 2 cats and home for almost a month. She is an excellent communicator and checked in with us before our trip about how often we wanted updates about our cats and our home. Within a day of departure, we received pictures of our cats warming up to her :) Kinsey is organized, responsible and very clean. She is so thoughtful too! We arrived home to a lovely note and some very sweet homecoming goodies. Most importantly, our apartment was clean and our cats were happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Kinsey for your next housesit! She is awesome!
Carrie
Prospect Harbor, Maine
Experienced, confident, and caring animal lover ❤️
Carrie was simply lovely! Both dogs obviously adored her right from the start and they were so relaxed and happy when we returned. We were only sad that Carrie was booked for just a weekend as she was a wonderful house sitter. Our house looked immaculate and the dogs had been taken for lovely walks, even though the weather had been atrocious. We really enjoyed meeting her and hope when she is next in the UK she will come and see us. We could not recommend Carrie more highly to look after your animals and house.
Collin Brewster
Prospect Harbor, Maine
Here to help you follow your Walksigns, wherever they may lead you!
It was such a pleasure having Brewster here to look after the cats and help us out a bit with the dogs before we left and for a bit when we got back! He was very reliable and organized. Great with the pets in general and just a kind, easy going and caring person. I felt the pets and my house were in good hands.
Stacy
Prospect Harbor, Maine
Animal advocate with veterinary technician certification
Stacy was wonderful with my senior cat, Juno. She obviously knows animals so well and offered me some great advice regarding some of his quirks. She was very considerate and sent photos to let me know Juno was adjusting well. She left the place immaculate. I really appreciated her care and communication.
Trevor
Prospect Harbor, Maine
Mature, self-employed, remote workers that love caring for all animals.
Nothing but rave reviews for Gail and Trevor. We were away for 5.5 weeks and never had to worry about a thing. Gail and Trevor took care of things that we weren't even aware of until we got home - which is the kind of dog sitter we can really appreciate. They took great care of our pups and fantastic care of our home. We are slight clean-freaks so coming home to a clean house is important to us. We came home to an immaculate house along with little extras like a bottle of wine and a snack prepared for us after a very long travel day. We could not recommend Gail and Trevor more highly!
Diana
Prospect Harbor, Maine
Industrious & Responsible Couple
Diana and Stan were excellent sitters. Friendly and easy going, they took very good care of the dogs. The garden was kept in good shape, and Stan was always ready to give a helping hand, whatever the problem I hope to see them again soon. Next time I will be stricter and I will forbid Diana to spoil the dogs as she did..! Heartily recommended.
Reviews from Dog Owners
Kara
Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!
Sheri
We could not have asked for a better house sitter than Myria! She is kind, personable, organized, responsible communicative and more...She read all of our instructions before arriving and asked lots of questions about our pups to make sure she understood their personalities and schedules. You can tell she truly is a dog lover. Myria provided regular updates and we felt 100% confident leaving our dogs in her care. We came back to a home that was spotless - you could hardly tell she had been here. I'd highly recommend Myria as your next zeewoi!

Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!
Lisa
Jasmine is a five-star sitter. She is everything you want in a sitter when you go away and leave your beloved pet and home. She is reliable, communicative, respectful, and flexible. We had no worries about our dog or home while we were away, and will be having Jasmine sit for us again soon. Our home was immaculate when we got home, and our dog was obviously well-cared-for. Can't say enough good things about this wonderful human.
Sally & Andy
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!
Laura
Alexandria was by far our best sitter yet (and we've had excellent zeewoi sitters)! She was responsible, self sufficient and very responsive. She took the time to come meet our dog ahead of time and to run through the routine before our trip. She was communicative and sent great pics of her adventures with Rupee while we were away. She was extremely clean and followed our household routine. And to top it al off, she left us with a homemade vegetable soup for our jet lagged return home from Europe! Alexandria is a wonderful, kind and caring person that I am grateful to have met. I cannot thank you enough Alexandria!
Larissa
Great sitter and kept in contact regularly. Would gladly have her sit for my dog again.
Nadine
Katie & Kevin jumped in last-minute, as our sitters had to cancel. And what can I say: We couldn't have chosen better even if we would had more choices and time. Katie & Kevin were so easy to communicate with and the first meeting and handoff were so easy and smooth. We could go on vacation with peace of mind knowing our dog and 2 ponies are in the best hands. Katie & Kevin: Thank you so much for looking after our animals so well !!!

We were so happy with Lynda's care for our senior pup. Lynda was extremely accommodating with the key hand over situation we had considering our early flights out of Berlin. She was easy to coordinate with and made this part of the holiday very smooth. We could also tell Sesame was in the best care. We received updates and photos of Sesame on walks and getting cuddles. We know Sesame can be sassy sometimes but Lynda was great with her little attitudes and handled her with ease. It was also really heart warming to see that Lynda truly enjoyed her time with Sesame and created a strong bond with her. We love to know that our dog is loved and treated with the care we would give her if we were home. Both my partner and I were able to fully enjoy our holiday as we knew from updates that Sesame and Lynda were doing well. Our apartment was clean and tidy when we returned and the sheets had also been washed. We would definitely have Lynda back and would recommend her to anyone else looking for an experienced sitter to stay with your pet.

Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.

I can not say enough about the no fear dog training program Something To Wag About offers. We have an 8 month old Australian Labradoodle who just completed an intense one month program. First of all the facilities are spotless. They include inside and outside training sessions. Second but most important are the trainers! Margaret and Giselle are professionals! Yet kind, friendly and so loving. My puppy would pull on her lease to get to the door and start her day. Each afternoon during pick up the ladies would let us know how she did that day and what to reenforce. The training included transfer sessions to teach us how to continue the training at home. Our doggie is our baby. The child we never had. So yes, we’re high maintenance. But all our needs were met and in fact they exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Something to Wag About for day care and training.
As a disclaimer, this is the first negative review I ever wrote. This is my third time taking my dog to Something To Wag About and he was petrified the moment we walked through the door. The poodle that arrived before myself pooped/peed on the floor and when I return to pick up my dog another pug did the same thing. Clearly all three dogs did not enjoy their time there. I brought my Newfoundland dog (160lbs) in for a full grooming and trim. It was noted he was not cooperative and therefore they did not perform any trimming which was the primary reason I brought him in. I was charged $200, the same price I paid several months ago for the entire service which included the haircut. When asked to a reduced rate, Demika one of the groomers refused. For reference, my dog was in there for 1.5hrs and essentially only got a bath and light dematting. Save your money and go somewhere else, your dog deserves better.
I have been taking my Ellie(teddy bear Sheltie) here after some bad experiences in Bangor &Brewer. Ellie has separation anxiety, the groomers at Something To Wag About have been working with Ellie to make grooming a better experience for her. They also gave us a list of things to do at home to help Ellie enjoy her grooms. I have recently lost two of my other dogs to porcupine attack, and when Ellie was in for her groom they were so patient and good to her as she's been through a lot. Today we brought our new puppy with Ellie and the staff were so patient with Loy as well. I honestly can't say enough good about these groomers. They really have been wonderful to my furry babies.
Our 60 lb Goldendoodle has been groomed by Something to Wag About 2x this summer. We’re so thankful for the groomers as they try to meet our wishes and keep Mac happy with the relatively short time he’s there. Honestly, Mac seems to love pedicures and hair stylists almost as much as his human mother/sisters- his groomer today said he constantly wagged his tail! This is a place we want to bring our dogs as long as possible!!! Thank you!! We’ll see you next summer and hopefully before.
Scheduled an appointment 45 days in advance only to be told 2 weeks before my appointment that the entire grooming staff was going to a conference and the next available appointment would be over 60 days out. Seems to me if your staff is gone you'd block those dates for appointments, also would have been nice to get some priority placement since this was clearly not my fault but nope. Bad customer service!! You can spin it any way you want, it's poor management and customer service. Dates should have been blocked! I hope other "newcomers" read your response and think twice before booking with you. Best of luck with your business treating people this way.
I set up an appointment really easily and got my English Bulldog in for a bath and nail trim on a short notice. She still smells all clean and she was really happy when I picked her up so I know they took care of her and gave her some lovin! Very affordable at 40.00 bucks. She even left with a cute little bandana.
I brought my rescue dog Shilo who is fearful of people and loud noises. Margaret was excellent during the evaluation meeting. Her experience was evident both in her questions and interaction with my dog, By the end of the meeting my dog was totally relaxed and interacting with Margaret. My goal is to provide the opportunity for my dog to gain confidence and trust to enjoy her best life. To see the change in a couple of months is terrific! She wants to go in with tail wagging. She is comfortable with all the staff. After appropriate introduction to other dogs, she enjoys pack walks and playtime. I am so pleased with her progress and would recommend Wag if you have a fearful dog.
Atmosphere was chaotic and unorganized. Little to no communication- very long wait for basic grooming on my pug. After 5 hours- they were finished and did not complete any nail trimming or grinding- unprofessional young lady says to me as she hands my pug back- “it was too difficult” ??? My dog was handed back to me covered in her own hair. They rushed her cleaning, barely brushed her, didn’t even bother to dry her off and brush off old hair post groom. I got a face full of dog hair in my mouth too. They groomed my dog for less then 20 minutes I’m sure- lied about attempting to grind her nails, put her in a room for 3 hours and didn’t even finish the job when they finally gave puppers back to me. Will never return. Very disappointed.
They did a great job with my small poodle. Will be using them again for grooming.
Just moved here, needed my puppy's nails trimmed, searched online, this pet spa came up amoungst others for walk- in trims. Since I needed to go to this area on my day off, figured I'd take a chance. Greeted by a cheerful person at front desk who said of course, bring her right in. Watched her take my baby into grooming area, and immediately make my Berner feel safe and comfortable enough to have her nails trimmed. She and her co-workers gave her lots of love and attention enough to distract her and trim her nails, (she won't even let ME touch her nails) I was very impressed by the way they were so gentle and genuine with her. Can definitely tell she is highly skilled and compassionate about what she does. She recommended her personal Veterinarian as I said I was looking for one in the area, and I was pleased enough with services to schedule a first grooming for my Berner with them. Highly recommend, looking forward to a wonderful relationship with this salon!! They also offer doggie day care, which I don't need right now, but I wouldn't hesitate to use if I was working in that area
