Koreena
Providing Pet Sitting in the Eliot, Maine
Independent, professional, cat lover! Looking for new yards to meditate in :)
Koreena was a nice person and good house sitter. I appreciated the time she spent with the cqts they were happy upon my return and i got almost daily photos and check in which was great. The house was clean upon return and she even washed my towels and sheets which I didn’t expect and appreciated. She was able to give my cats medicine and monitor their health, which was great. She monitored the cats well and would update me. The only small thing is she saw improvement and made the decision to stop a medication my cat was getting without discussing it with me (because she saw improvement in his eating and stool). I expressed disappointment, and she apologized however my cat regressed in improvement as a result. I would have handled it differently and kept him on the med or alternated days and just wish she would have run it by me before making that decision for my cat. Besides that I would definitely use her again and feel overall very happy with her care.

Animal lovers wanting to travel the world and get pet cuddles along the way!!
Cindy and Dan are real pros - absolutely wonderful! We feel really lucky that they saw our sitting request and pursued staying with Kona for our long 25 day trip. We had a zoom call while they were sitting in Asia, and felt confident that we could trust them with our dog and our house. Their communication before and during the sit was perfect and thorough. They sent us many photos and videos every single day of our trip, and indulged me in long exchanges about how much I love Kona. It was obvious that they gave her all the love during their stay too. Kona got to go on her twice a day ball walks in the national forest near us, and she got to go on lots of excursions with them as well. She's a lab, so we needed sitters who would exercise her multiple times a day. Cindy and Dan are athletes too so fulfilled Kona's need for movement. It was obvious that Kona was comfortable and she even seemed to be confused when Cindy and Dan left the house at the end. We are so grateful for the love and time they put into making it a great experience, and I hope they feel the same about their time in the Colorado foothills with Kona the chocolate lab. Thank you, guys!! All the best, and keep in touch!

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!

Boston native looking to explore new places this summer!
Faith was super attentive to our kitty. Very respectful and flexible. She's one of my go-to sitters!
Carla
Providing Pet Sitting in the Eliot, Maine
US based sitter, looking to make new friends all around the world!
Carla is a wonderful sitter. Both my cats love her, even Shyla the very time shelter cat. Carla sent me pictures of them so I knew they were in good hands. It was so easy for me to not worry about things knowing that Carla was there taking care of it all. I would love to have her sit again and will definitely check with her on future sit needs. Having her only a few miles away is a real bonus,.

Intrepid traveler and animal lover
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!

Considerate Caregiver for People, Pets, and Homes
Due to a family bereavement, I managed to get Tom to look after our home and pets. Everything, despite being last minute and very little time to have chats, was as I left it. Tom was great!

Peace of mind for you and lots of tlc for your pets
This was the second time that Christine and Phil have been our zeewoi. First time was last winter when it was white and cold and this time it was full summer. They are fantastic people with good communication and perfect caregivers for our cats. The experience could not be better. 
Reviews from Pet Owners

Mary was fantastic from start to finish and looked after our elderly dog with love and attention to her needs. She also looked after our home with respect and care. We couldn't have asked for a nicer sitter and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
Lynn
Another amazing sit by Anna and her lovely family - our cocker spaniel Holly has had the best fortnight with these guys with lots of adventures and endless amounts of love and attention! Highly recommend as 5-star house and pet sitters - thank you Anna - hope to see you again!
Heather
Amanda was the perfect housesitter and pet sitter for our cat. She is organized and communicative, and took care to ensure she understood the guidelines for taking care of our home and our cat. She left our house in perfect condition and we returned home to one happy kitty! Would not hesitate to have Amanda housesit for us again or recommend her to others looking for a sitter.
Jennifer
Natalie and Christian were dream pet sitters while we were out of the country for 2.5 weeks. From start to finish, they were reliable and professional, with excellent communication. They had took great care of our dog and chickens and left the house and car in great shape. Plus, they’re just a really sweet young couple. We’d highly recommend them as house sitters.
Claire
I have nothing but great things to say about Jill! She’s a wonderful sitter and I felt so comfortable leaving my dog and cat in her capable hands while I was out of the country. She was thorough in making sure she knew exactly what each pet needed, had excellent communication, and provided me with daily updates. I came home to a house that was even tidier and more organized than when I left and two very loved pets. I would highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a kind, caring, consistent pet sitter. Thank you so much Jill!!!
Jenny
Sharon was by far the best sitter I’ve ever had! From the very first time we connected, she was communicative and proactive with follow up. She asked great questions prior to her stay and I could tell she’s done this many times and that she genuinely cares about the pets and homes she cares for. Sharon went above and beyond to leave my house in ever better shape, cleaning and organizing. It was a dream to come home to! Thank you Sharon!
Nancy
Not only did our pets enjoy meeting Kelly and Christopher, my husband and I enjoyed meeting them as well! They are personable and kind, organized and communicative, and most of all excellent pet sitters. Kelly and Chris are attentive housesitters. They went out of their way to connect with our dogs, especially Smitty, our rescue. The dogs were walked, brushed, and played with throughout the weeklong sit. They sent pics of how our fur babies were doing and truly seemed to enjoy their time with them. The peace of mind that comes with great house sitters who care for your precious pups and the home you love is priceless. Thank you once again, Kelly and Christopher! We hope to see you again!
Sally
Toby and we were SO lucky to have Tom be our home and pet sitter for our Thanksgiving Holiday trip! From the very beginning Tom was responsive and communicative. He was even able to arrange a "meet and greet" with us and Toby before beginning his stay. While here Tom took great care of our home, and, most importantly, provided wonderful care of Toby! When we got home everything was in perfect order and we could tell that even though Toby was happy to see us he was going to miss Tom. I would be thrilled if we could have Tom as our zeewoi again. You will be lucky if he can do the same for you. :)

David was an outstanding house/pet sitter for our active pup Tosha, older kitty Rascal, and 4 chickens. Rascal came home with a deep, gaping wound the day before we left for 11 days, and David was very responsible in monitoring the healing process with photos and texts to us. He exercised Tosha in the neighborhood and local parks, and obviously enjoyed her company. Our house was spotless and extremely neat when we got home, which is always welcoming after a long trip. We are very grateful for the excellent care David gave to our precious pets and home.
Mara
Jerry and Suzanne were absolutely ideal sitters for our home and pets. We spoke with them ahead of their visit and could tell that they are genuine pet and travel lovers. Over their stay we got to see even more that they are wonderfully friendly, kind, and responsible - plus they kept us laughing with their updates and descriptions of our pets' antics while we were away. Our pets and plants were well loved and our house was spotless upon our return home, and they were even kind enough to leave a few goodies in the fridge. Our dog in particular seemed to miss them and their long walks around the neighborhood. Thank you Jerry and Suzanne! We wish you well in your travels!

Magnolia Canine Adventures
Recent Reviews:
Magnolia Canine Adventures has been so key in my nervous pup’s journey toward bravery! Zoë bonded with Meagan the moment they met, and while Zoë generally takes a bit to warm up to people you would think they had been friends forever. I recently left Zoë with Meagan for a few days while traveling and I can honestly say I never thought I would feel so relaxed leaving my pup with someone else. Meagan sent updates and videos several times a day and it’s clear Zoë had the time of her life! We can’t wait to go back for another session! I live an hour and a half away and the drive is so worth working with someone who takes the time to get to know both you and your dog and what you both need. I can’t recommend Magnolia Canine Adventures enough!!
Where do I begin with how much Magnolia Canine Adventures has increased my pets' quality of life (and my peace of mind)?! Meagan is a life-long dog lover of all breeds, ages, and personalities. My dog is very reactive to other dogs and Meagan is the only person I trust to take him out of the house and to keep him safe in all scenarios. She embraces the dogs who aren't cut out for daycare or pack walks -- and I love knowing there's something out there for my dog to enjoy. She treats my dog like family and her pictures/videos of their time together has brought a tear to my eye because my dog is HAPPY. As a side note: my husband and I were away last weekend and we had a friend staying with our pets. (Magnolia also does home-style boarding, but because we have goats, chickens, dogs, and cats, we need someone to stay at our house.) One of my cats suffered a freak eye accident and Meagan met our sitter at the ER vet and had everything taken care of before I even found out. When I say that Magnolia Canine Services is so much more than a pet service, I mean it. Meagan will do everything she can to enrich your dog's life, to meet them where they are at, and to share her love of animals with your whole family. I rarely take the time to write a review, so please know how steadfast my confidence is in Magnolia, and how grateful I am that Meagan is in my animals' lives.
This dog mom was in a huge jam when her long-time dog walker abruptly dissolved her business. Having a full schedule and a 10-year-old dog who would not just walk with anyone, I was worried I would never find anyone on short notice. Enter Meagan. Caring, trustworthy, and reliable as they come. I knew the moment I met her, my dog would love her. And he does. I would highly recommend her services to anyone who loves their dog. Meagan works with you to make sure you have peace of mind when your dog leaves the home. He always comes back excited and with a big smile on his face before he plops in his bed to take a nap. I cannot recommend Magnolia Canine Adventures enough!
I know my wife also left a review, but I wanted to reiterate what a great job Magnolia Canine Adventures does with our pets. They all have their quirks and Meagan doesn't even blink when having to accommodate their needs. She is an asset to the pet community in Maine and New Hampshire. I recommend her without hesitation.
I feel so lucky to have found Meg and her group. It has absolutely changed my relationship with my dog by allowing me to better understand and work with my reactive dog around others in a safe and controlled environment, giving both of us more confidence.
