Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.
Lifelong pet lover, longtime pet sitter!
Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.

I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Caring and loving pet-sitter.
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Fit and fun "young" retired couple offer peace of mind while you are away!
Everything was great even though they were here for some unfortunate circumstances (hurricane and extended power outage). Sent frequent updates and our cat seemed to like them.
Experienced housesitters looking to travel and make some furry friends!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
WFH researcher excited to provide quality care to your furry loved ones!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Experienced and zeewoi with excellent references!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
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!
Experienced sitter, 5-star reviews. Meticulous, quiet, non-smoker.
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
The Hound and Tabby Nanny is ready to take care of your fur babies.
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Retired professional gardeners available to care for your home, garden & pets.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

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!
Leslie consistently demonstrated outstanding communication skills, both initially and throughout the entire process, and I would gladly give her more stars if possible. Leslie arrived as scheduled, and instantly the animals fell in love with her and Bennie. Our cats love our dogs but usually won't come in the house when a strange dog is here but they didnt even hesitate to come meet Bennie. Bennie was very calm and a true gentleman. Leslie sent pictures throughout the sit reassuring us the gang were all getting along and enjoying her and Bennie's company. She read through the welcome guide before we left as well as we showed her around. It was very nice getting the chance to know her a bit before we ledt the following morning. We felt very comfortable knowing our home and pets were in good hands. It is very apparent when you meet Leslie that she truly does love animals. When our Molly decided to hide, Leslie called us right away because she feared Molly may have gotten spooked by a firework going off in the neighborhood and escaped under the gate. I felt so bad for Leslie because she blamed herself because it was on her watch. I have trackers on all my pets and it turned out that Molly was still in the house and just hiding really well. She can curl up.pretty small. Lealie took our Lab to check the walking route and see if Molly was there. When I called and told her Molly had to be at the house because her tracker showed her there, she returned to our home and Molly hreeted her as she came in the front door. I was very appreciative of Leslie's phone call though because she didnt wait hours to call, she searched the yard and house and called right away. We decided to cut our trip short a day and asked Leslie if she minded if we came home a day early. We let her know we didnt expect her to leave early and made sure she was comfortable with our decision. As a pet parent, it is imperative that we remember the sitters are also on vacation and we didnt want to intrude on her time. As it turned out, we ended up stopping by the ER on our way home where my husband was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. Unfortunately we had both the RV and my car and I needed to figure out how to get them home. I reached out to Leslie who offerred to give me a ride back to the hospital after I dropped o e vehicle off at home so I could retrieve the second vehicle. BTW, the surgeon was able to repair my hubbys aneurysm and he will be coming home soon. Leslie was a comfort during this frightening time and even stayed an extra day to help out and care for our home and pets. She was a teue blessing. Leslie left the house spotless along with so.e fresh flowers for me when I got back from visiting my husband. If you get an opportunity to host Leslie in your home, rest assured your home and pets will be well loved and well taken care of. We.would welcome.Leslie back anytime. She is not just a pet sitter, she is a new trusted friend.
Angie and Joe were fabulous pet/house sitters and overall people! Angie sent daily updates with photos. Really appreciate the extra effort they put into watering the grass and garden. The house was exactly the same as when I left (including sheets/towel washed, beds made, frig cleaned, dishes put away and trash taken out...). Pretty sure Mia was looking for them the next day as she ran to the guest bedroom. Already scheduled a second sit! If you're lucky enough to land them as pet sitter then you're lucky.
Kelly was flawless, she was a fantastic pet sitter and house sitter. She was over communicating with pictures and updates. We were at total peace knowing Kelly was overseeing Leo and Bella. Kelly connected with our dogs perfectly. We loved how Kelly daily took our dogs for walks and even an extended hikes. She has our full and complete recommendation.
We were so happy to have Kyle as our house sitter for two weeks. Besides taking great care of our pets and our house, he was very accommodating. We were always able to get in touch with him if we needed to, and he agreed to take on some extra plant watering’s when the weather made a sudden change. As a bonus, he is very likable and communicative. We would definitely have him come again.
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!
Jeremy and Brooke were fantastic! We have a senior dog and a over hyper pittie. They gave Daisy her meds and had lengthy walks with Fin to burn off some of his energy. Brooke sent me regular texts to show me precious pictures of the pups by the Christmas tree, which warmed my ❤️. The house looked great when we returned. They are awesome detailed sitters and will make your pets feel loved and secure!!
Janis is a wonderful person and also an incredible sitter -- we were very, very fortunate that she agreed to care for our beloved pets and rural log home for 3 days. We were confident that everything would be perfect – and it was. We returned to a home as clean and ordered as we had left it, inside and out. All plants were thriving; outdoor hanging baskets were blooming profusely. Most importantly, our beloved dog and 4 cherished cats had obviously been lovingly and attentively cared for. The koi were also active and happy. Janis is a “cat whisperer”. She is especially skilled and patient with shy felines, so we truly appreciated her patience and caring for our sweet Angie (with a semi-feral background). Janis immediately understood that Angie, despite her reclusiveness, craves affection and was able to start to earn her trust even with such limited time. Among Janis’ many gifts: she is a talented photographer and delighted us with frequent updates and photos of our furry children. They are so beautiful that we, with her kind permission, plan to include several in our zeewoi profile. Janis’ communications, reliability, self-sufficiency, and punctuality were exemplary, start to finish. We made a wonderful new friend and have already invited her back to sit again. If you are privileged enough to ever have Janis sit we are certain that you will be as delighted and happy as we are.
Janis is absolutely the best pet sitter and home care we have had. She is a regular for us during our Christmas vacation because we totally trust her with the care of our three dogs and the management of our home. She is so good and efficient that I have already requested that she sits for us again next Christmas. Our three dogs absolutely adored her as she played fetch, took them on walks, loved and spoiled them. Management of our home was excellent. I had no concerns whatsoever as we had packages delivered and Mail that needed to be picked up. The house was in much better condition than what we left it. I highly recommend Janis and you will be fortunate to have her as your sitter.
Gowri was very patient and caring with Irisi who got sick the day before I left. I cannot commend her enough for how she rose to the occasion and took care of my baby. She even pick up meds from the vet. My cat, Squinty, was very comfortable with her to jump in bed and wake her up early in the morning (as he would with me). I am not aware of him doing that to other sitters that have stayed at my place. I would give her 6 stars for Pet care if I can! She updated me with Irisi's condition which really help ease my mind, knowing someone looking after my furry really cared. I would certainly have her back again!

Lisa has a very clean kennel, she is professional and it is apparent she has a great love for the animals. My dog was groomed to perfection. 100% recommend!
Our pup (Emma) had a 7-day stay at P A-W during our trip to OBX. She came home healthy, happy, and right back to terrorizing the cat. Thank you ,Lisa, for taking such great care of Emma !
I've been taking my fur babies to Lisa for over 10 yrs. She does an exceptionally fantastic job, is caring about the individual needs of each dog (I currently have 8). She's reasonably priced and has always gone above n beyond with reference to assisting getting them inside, ear cleaning, anal glands and nail trimming!! I would never go anywhere else...♥️ 🐾 Debbie Young Thank you Pawsawhilekennels (Lisa)
This place is a fantastic spot for your pup to stay while you vacation/travel. Crixus (dog) has stayed here numerous times and is always a happy boy. They genuinely care about the animals, giving them plenty of love, attention and outdoor time. They even have a pony! Super friendly and chatty and a great price!
I found Lisa who had great reviews and prompt response we gave two small resuces from Florida moved back home to Maine. She is amazing personable great vibes thank you Lisa see you in August Ps my babies haven’t socialized and she said they did great
I have to travel a lot for work and have a high anxiety senior dog. My dog has come back from every other kennel we've been to like she's coming back from war, but whenever I pick her up from Paws-a-While, she's wagging her tale and acting like her normal self. Affordable pricing, excellent communication, and above all else, is run by a person who understands it takes all types of dogs to make a world and works with them on their level. She even got my dog to make friends! I cannot recommend them highly enough.
We LOVE the owner Lisa Sampson! She is always very friendly It's like dropping your fur baby w/ a family member or favorite baby sitter. Our dog loves her! Her rates are extremely reasonable! We HIGHLY Recommend!
Lisa did an amazing job with Buddy. He's a new client there and she made him feel very comfortable. He was way overdue for a groom and he now looks like a different dog! So grateful for the care she took to do the right thing and make him comfortable. Thanks Lisa!
Best kennel in Lakes Region! So caring, takes time to get to know your dog. Super communicative. Reasonably priced. 10 out of 10 recommend to everyone I know
Lisa does an excellent job grooming my poodle mix. We have also done overnight boarding and our pup came back smelling fresh, clean, and happy. Would highly recommend!
Great with small dogs! We’ve been bringing our dog Forest (7.5 lbs) here for the last two ski seasons. Forest is always excited when he gets there and happy when we pick him up. The staff is very friendly and genuinely cares about his well being.
When we pull up to Barker Brook, our sweet Maple can sense it. She explodes out of the car with excitement and is desperate to get in and play with all her daycare friends! We're always greeted and helped by the most wonderful, caring staff, and there's nothing better than picking up a pup who's tired out and happy from a day of social enrichment :)
We were visiting Bethel with our dog and wanted a day to do some non-puppy friendly activities. Barker Brook's daycare took great care of our dog, she had a blast! They even provided a cute report card at pickup! I was also impressed with how good their communication was to set up an out of town dog.
This is the only doggy daycare that my husband and I feel comfortable with using for our older corgi. She gets separation anxiety yet whenever we come to get her, she's always happy and bouncing. They are conveniently located to Sunday River so we drop her off on the way to the mountain. Since our pup loves them, we love them and would recommend them!
My dog loves barker brook. The staff is friendly and attentive so i know my baby is in good hands. I also love that they are accomidating when i email them about last minute overnight boarding. My dog comes home tired from endless playing so i know he has had tons of fun. Highly recommend.
Barker Brook kennels is absolutely amazing! Everybody in the facility is great with the dogs and treat them all like their own, you really couldn’t ask for anybody better to watch your pups.
Dropped Zuko off for doggy daycare. Staff was excellent and Zukon came home a happy, tired pup! Will use Barker Brook again when in the area.
Our dog is to the say least anxious. We had left her for 4 days and expected her to be a mess when we got there to pick her up. She was in pretty good shape and had actually eaten while we were gone which was a first. The staff was friendly and new their business, drop off and pick up were a breeze. If you've never been and don't read through the website, drop offs and pickups only occur between 8am and 10am or 4pm and 6pm. Was easy enough to work that into our plans, but if you dont pickup before the PM slot you pay the daycare rate on top of whatever boarding there was up until that morning. All in all was better than we could have hoped for and we would absolutely use Barker Brook again.
Storme is well taken of at Barker Brook Kennels. She always comes back tired and happy! We highly recommend doggy day care here.
Always trust Justine and her team to take great care of my buddy! Peace of mind is worth the cost! And he loves the environment and is always eager (to a fault) to spend time there!
We had an excellent experience with Clover Acres Kennel! We boarded our dog Smokey for two weeks while we were out of town with them. They exercised Smokey everyday and showed him the extra attention that he needs. They also had a good understanding of his breed, which was appreciated! As a bonus, they took the most gorgeous photos of our boy and printed them for us to take home. We will absolutely use Clover Acres Kennel again next time we are out of town. Thank you!
Very affordable, staff was kind, patient, and understanding. They accept all dog temperaments since the pups do not interact with each other, only with the staff.
My Shepherd loves it there. Especially the daily walk I get her. Pictures show a very happy dog.
I highly recommend Clover Acres Kennel for boarding needs. Our dogs were well taken care of and it was wonderful to know they were well taken care of and having a great time while we needed to be away. We will be boarding our dogs with Clover Acres in the future. Our pups were happy and while they were excited to go home, they were sad to leave their friends at Clover Acres!
Our family has used Clover Acres Kennel for many, many years. My parents brought our Samoyed there for boarding when I was a child. It was the ONLY place around that my Dad trusted with his beloved companion. Now, I am grown with my own family and Clover Acres is only place we choose to board our Cockapoo. So that's two generations of very happy customers! Prices are outstanding and the staff there are so friendly and helpful. We recommend them highly!
We love bringing our dogs here! We have been using for boarding for over 20 yrs and grooming close to 10. We always know our 'kids' are well cared for. And Heather always posts pics on FB which we love to see while we are away. The team is simply the best!
I'm moved to write this review because of the incredible kindness I received at Clover Acres a couple of weeks ago. I had to bring my dog in at the last minute when they were entirely booked up (school vacation week) because I had an unexpected death in the family. They made room for my pooch, gave me a hug, and got me on my way with peace of mind about my dog, so I could quickly get to my family. What a classy, kind, generous, community-minded group of folks. I can't thank you all enough. This is what running a good business and being good people is all about. Oh, it goes without saying that my dog loves Clover Acres too- she never wants to leave without getting a goodbye pet from all the staff, and is always happy to go back.
We brought out two cats to Clover Acers for a week's stay and we were very happy. They reported that each of the cats was happy and adjusted to the environment well. Our cats have RX food and one needs a pill daily. This was not a problem for them. They also shifted our two to the largest of the condos when it became available… just to give them a bit more room. I am very happy with this kennel and will be using them again. The accommodations are clean and air-conditioned when needed. Another plus is the cats are kept far away from the dogs. One of our cats would go bonkers if they were near.
Hands down the best kennel in southern Maine. We don't worry when we drop our three babies off because they're in such good hands.
"Loses dog, doesn’t tell the family til the next day. Great people here." … Indeed … Well, Phil Lorrain, why have you not followed up on your post to reflect that everything worked out fine and long-time owner Paul and his excellent staff made sure that happened … I'm assuming you never gave it another thought after your post, which did not involve any pet of yours … Another example of someone who gets/knows few, if any, facts before spewing negative comment/energy … We have had our beloved Dog at this kennel many, many times and have always experienced GREAT care and comfort for her … You, 'Sir', are a cad … Gene Peschier.
