Timothy
Bowdoinham, Maine
Dependable, trustworthy, empathetic, caring.
Tim was an excellent sitter from start to finish. He was kind, organized, and followed through on all home tasks. The house was very clean on my return, and my plants were thriving. I'd love to have him back and anyone would be lucky to have him! Thanks Tim!
Caitlin
Bowdoinham, Maine
Caring, Loving Travel Couple
Caitlin and Lawrence were great! They were able to come over the day before we left and we had dinner together and we were able to get to know them even more and show them everything they needed to know about Clara and our home. They sent us lovely pictures of Clara enjoying her time while we were away. When we got back the house was super clean and they left us a nice plant to start our garden with this summer. We would definitely have them in our home again.
Yvonne
Bowdoinham, Maine
Experienced pet lover available for long term sits while you're away.
Yvonne was just great. She was wonderful with the dogs, and the house was immaculate when I returned. I hope that she will come again.
Alanna
Bowdoinham, Maine
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!
Losida
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.
MICHELLE
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.
Jeffrey
Bowdoinham, Maine
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!
Lacey
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!
Alisia
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.
Ciara
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 Pet Owners
Julie
Kate was an absolute dream and was the best pet sitter I could have possibly asked for! Kate was extremely trustworthy, communicative, and reliable, and provided frequent updates while I was away. She left my apartment spotlessly clean and even took the initiative to fix my wobbly towel bar. Finally, Kate took excellent care of my cat Daisy and I came home to a happy and content cat! Kate was amazing all around and I would be thrilled to have her sit for me again at any time. Thanks for everything!
Hannah
Tina was a fantastic house/pet sitter for my cat Trixie - I can’t recommend her enough! She was very communicative and also self sufficient and I felt completely at peace with Trixie in her care. She took it upon herself to water my plants and also trimmed Trixie’s nails, which I always struggle with! She provided perfect company for Trixie, playing with her, brushing her, loving her and giving her daily medicine. She also left my apartment in perfect condition. I would gladly have Tina pet sit again. A 10/10 experience.
Sarah
Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.
Kate
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.
Simon
BriAnna was our first pet sitter and we loved her :). She made every step very simple for us, communication was great, Pastis and Anubis seemed to be very happy with her, and the house was very clean when we came back. We highly recommend BriAnna to take care of your pets and we would love to have her back!
Julie and Mike
Exceptional Pet Sitters - Highly Recommend Diedre and Keith! I am thrilled to leave a glowing review for our trusted house and pet sitters, Diedre and Keith. They took exceptional care of our long-haired cat, Molly, and our home during our absence. Everything went incredibly smoothly, and their communication was top-notch. Dierdre and Keith provided regular updates, including delightful pictures of Molly, which put our minds at ease while we were away. Upon our return, it was evident that Molly had been well cared for and was content. The genuine love and understanding Diedre and Keith have for both dogs and cats was apparent in their interactions with Molly, and it was clear that they had made her feel comfortable and secure in their care. Their friendly and professional demeanor made the entire experience truly enjoyable. In addition to taking great care of our beloved pet, Diedre and Keith ensured that our home was in excellent condition upon our return. They even went the extra mile by informing us about the leftovers they left in the fridge, which was a thoughtful gesture. I wholeheartedly recommend Diedre and Keith as exceptional pet and house sitters. Their attentive and caring approach, coupled with their expertise, make them a perfect choice for anyone seeking reliable and trustworthy sitters. Don't hesitate to entrust your home and pets to this fantastic duo!
Chris
Jacob sat for us during our holiday in March. We do not have any pets but we do have garden plants etc to look after. Jacob did a fantastic job of looking after the young plants that had arrived by post the day before we went away. He sent us regular updates and photos of how the plants were doing. We came home to a very clean and tidy house and thriving plants. Jacob did a great job and we have no hesitation in recommending him. If he comes back to the Uk and we require a sitter we will contact him first. Well done Jacob.
Laurie
Debra was a Great pet and house sitter !! She communicated well throughout our long trip and sent us frequent pictures of all of our pets. She watered our plants and brought in all the mail. Our home was immaculate when we arrived home and the dogs and cat were super happy !! I would recommend Debra as a wonderful, responsible and reliable pet and house sitter !
Hannah
Mikala & Jake were great house & pet sitters for us!! Our dog and two cats absolutely adored them, and we came back to a very clean home with happy animals :) They were very reliable and fast communicators. They even had to deal with our power going out while we were away, and they handled it well. It eased our minds to know our animals and house were in such great care while we were away and would have them sit for us anytime!
Josepha
Jennifer was great and I would highly recommend her. Right from the start, Jennifer was clear and helpful in her communication, and she was very available to us throughout the stay via messaging. She sent pics of our fur babies regularly - without asking - which always makes us happy when we're away. And the biggest compliment I can give: when we came home, our pets were relaxed and happy, and no hidden cat messes to be found (we've had this happen with previous sitters a lot). I would love to have Jennifer stay at our home again in future.

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.

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!!

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!

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!
