We had a wonderful sit while taking care of Bel and Twix and the house of Laura and Tom. We were provided with all the necessary information prior and at the start of the stay. It was very nice to get to know Laura and Tom the evening before they went on holiday, we felt at home right from the start! Bel is a very sweet and independent cat. Twix is a wonderful dog, he likes to hike but also appreciates a good sleep. All together it was a great sit which we highly recommend! Laura and Tom thanks again and we would love to do it again!
I Had a fantastic time looking after Stormy! She’s a really awesome pup who loves lots of cuddles! The location was great and I’d be happy to look after her again!
I loved sitting for Tuppence, she's the most affectionate and talkative girl, very well behaved and easy to sit for. Marija's house was cleaned and well equipped with anything I needed and she was super responsive with any questions I had regarding Tuppence/house. Thanks for all the kisses and cuddles Tuppence!
This was my first experience on this platform and I could not have asked for a better one! Karin and David are incredibly polite, welcoming and caring people, the communication was so smooth despite some challenges with a storm on my way to Copenhagen. I felt very much at home right after the first day, both because I got along really well with my friend Igor and because of the comfy flat. I loved the neighborhood (Nørrebro), there are so many great places to go for food and Copenhagen in general is a great city to visit and live in. I will definitely come back and hope we can catch up in person! Thank you again for everything, I'd 100% recommend you and Igor to anyone out there ? take care!
We loved our experience, the house, and of course, the cats. Would highly recommend!
Katie and her family made us feel very welcome on arrival. The house and gardens are amazing and so are Coco, Billie the cat along with the 5 Chickens who gave us fresh eggs every morning for breakfast! All very easy to care for. Coco loves her tummy tickles and Billie loves his cuddles. We had a beautiful bedroom with a huge comfortable bed along with a bathroom which had both a bath and a large walk in shower. There are many places to visit in and around the area, including Waddesdon Manor. However the home and grounds are so relaxing that we were just very happy to spend most of our time relaxing with Coco and Billie watching the hens enjoying themselves in the grounds. Although the property is situated in lovely countryside, major supermarkets and shops are only a few minutes by car. This was a very enjoyable house sit, highly recommended and we hope that we will all meet up again at some time in the future.

Maine Coast Pet Care is wonderful! Kristie and Jackie are the only ones we’ve chosen to stay at our house with our best gal Murtaugh and though she is a bit shy Kristie & Jackie have been very patient and loving! It always feels like she’s in good hands and they send tons of photos and quick updates about how she’s doing while we’re away. I always hate leaving her so to have Kristie & Jackie here literally allows us to go on vacation because I could never find anyone else that Murtaugh was comfortable with. They are lifesavers and really lovely too!
We have used Jackie and Kristie on several occasions for dog walking and they are wonderful. They are great with communication and are very reliable. They text and send pictures and it always looks like everyone is having fun! Recently they helped us out so my daughter and son in law could include their 2 dogs in their wedding. Jackie and Kristie picked them up early from the boarding kennel, exercised them so they would be on their best behavior and brought them to both a picture session at Nubble Light and the ceremony and back to the kennel. They were on standby the whole time so we could relax and enjoy the wedding. I highly recommend Maine Coast Pet Care.
Jackie and Kristi took outstanding care of our pet. They are both friendly, yet professional to deal with. Daily notes and pictures kept us up to date with our dog. Highly recommend their services.
Jackie and Kristi of Time to Pet have taken care of our two kittens twice now and we have been so impressed with their cat sitting service. We have booked them for two more upcoming trips. They send updates with pictures everyday which we totally love to receive. When we get home from our trips our babies look so happy; we can tell that Time to pet took care of our kitties. They have been so easy to communicate with and their invoicing is detailed and easy to understand. I highly recommend their pet sitting services
Jackie and Kristie took excellent care of our kitty while we were on vacation. We loved the photo updates, and appreciated the complimentary meet & greet beforehand. Would highly recommend to those in the Kennebunk area!
Maine Coast Pet Care will love your pets like they are their own. They took great care of our kitten while we were away for a few days, and probably gave her more love and attention than she normally gets! I have multiple friends that have used their services in the past, and they gave raving reviews of their attentiveness, professionalism, and love of animals. I highly recommend this business to anyone looking for over night care or daily check ins for their animals.
Even after 2 years with us, our rescue dog remains fearful of new people and places. Despite that, he warmed up to Kristie and Jackie relatively quickly (well, quickly for him). Although he remains cautious around them, their positive energy and patience have made a difference. He joins them on walks and just completed his first overnight with them. It was great to know that he was in good hands and that we didn't have to worry about him while we were gone (we also received updates, which was appreciated). Their easy scheduling and payment system is a plus as well. Highly recommend you contact them if you're looking for pet services!
Maine Coast Pet Care is all we needed! Bella is such in good hands when we are off for a day or for a longer period of time. We find Bella very happy, and our house as we have left it! Their booking system is very friendly and easy to use. We met the owners before the first service. They came to our house to meet our dog in person and to learn more about her needs. We can notice they love pets and are committed to take a good care of them! Super recommend
I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! They took care of my cat for a weekend we were away. Not only was he fed and given water, they also cleaned his litter box, played with him and cleaned his food bowl after use. The app they use is very user friendly and made booking and staying up-to-date easy. They even provided updates (with pictures) after each visit which eased my worried-pet-parent mind. Highly recommended!
Jackie and Kristie are not only wonderful humans, they are wonderful with dogs. I had a wonderful experience using them for walking and training my new rescue dog. Patient and caring, highly recommend! They go the extra mile!
Working with Maine Dog Walkers was the best decision for our family 🐾. I always know our little guy is well cared for. You can tell Paul really loves his job and cares about our pup as much as we do. Paul sends daily updates and is reliable, prompt and professional. Would recommend Maine Dog Walkers to anyone looking for quality care and peace of mind!
Reliable and expert dog walker! We've been working with Maine Dog walkers for nearly 2 years since the arrival of our then-puppy, now 2 year-old mix. Always on-time rain or shine. Our dog LOVES seeing Paul. I always have peace of mind knowing I have a reliable, safe and caring dog walker and pet sitter in Paul. Excellent communicator and goes out of his way to be of service whenever possible. Best in the business!
I can’t say enough great things about Paul. He is so amazing with my dog. He was patient getting to know my dog and now my dog gets so excited for his walks. He is dependable and communicative about every walk. I know I can rely on him for the best care while I am at work. I am so thankful for Paul and how thoughtful he is with my pup.
Paul is incredible. He is always reliable and dependable. My pup loved every visit. Paul is timely in his communication and was always willing to add an extra walk if he was able to fit it in. I highly recommend Paul for your pup!
Paul is amazing, we think he is an animal whisperer. He is thoughtful, reliable and prompt. He knows how important routine is for fur babies and has always gone the extra mile. Paul's calm demeanor really worked on our two cats. He reassured us and them while we have been away. Thanks so much Paul.
Paul is the best! We’ve booked him a few times each year for the last 3 years and he’s always been great. He’s cared for our two cats and when one past right before a trip he helped use deal with the other cat’s depression while we were away. He has truly gone above and beyond. The app he uses for visit tracking and booking is also great. It notifies me when he’s there, he includes notes and photos, and I’m notified when we’re going to be billed. I really can’t say enough good things about Paul and the great care he has provided for our animals!
I've worked with cats and dogs for over a decade, owned a successful dog walking business in Boston's Seaport neighborhood (catering to professional athletes, presidents of Fortune 500 companies, city leaders etc), and am across the board an anxious wreck when it comes to the safety of my beautiful kitten, Pandora. I used Maine Dog Walkers & Pet Sitters the first week I moved up to Maine, and everything about the service was immaculate. The straight forward use of their website to schedule and communicate, the most excellent photos of Pandora each day, and the real attempt to bond with my very skittish kitty were all super appreciated. I am a paranoid cat owner who has been in the pet care industry for over a decade, and I use Paul's services for complete and total peace of mind when I'm away, and you should too! 😸
Paul is at all times professional, reliable and attentive to the wellbeing of my pets.
Suntar's Kennels also does grooming. We use them to trim one of the dog's claws as he doesn't need grooming and they do a great job of taking care of this very strong dog that hates having his claws trimmed. Our Cockier Spaniel seems to view his grooming appointments as a spa day. He is always happy to go and I must say looks quite debonair after his grooming appointments. We've not had occasion to use their boarding but I looked and it appears very clean and that the animals are well cared for. There is a play area for them to get exercise. I wouldn't hesitate to board our dogs here. And the grooming service is excellent. Highly recommended.
The staff at Suntar's Kennels were wonderful with our two dogs this past week! It was our dogs' first time boarding away from home, and the staff took great care of them, slowly eased them into playtime with the other dogs, and were very considerate and caring with them. Many thanks, again!
I Called Suntar's Kennels on a whim when I showed up to my cabin that was "pet friendly" all to find out my dog could not be left in the cabin unattended (even if caged) for any period of time. Afraid my children's vacation was ruined I called these guys and they told me to bring him over. He is a only a year, high energy, anxious dog and had never boarded before so I was so afraid. They answered when we called and helped us feel confident he was being well taken care of and not locked away somewhere. By time we came to get him he was trying to stay! Would recommend any day. My family thanks you for taking care of our furry child so everyone, including Gunner, could enjoy their Vacation!
We have been taking our dog to boarding and daycare at Suntars for almost a year and I can’t say enough good things. These folks are so kind and helpful and our dog LOVES her days there. I recommend this daycare to anyone who asks!
They are such a wonderful group of people. Elaina always does such a great job grooming my dog. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of grooming, daycare, and boarding.
They treat my little buddy like one of their own. Incredibly sweet, and caring staff, who take excellent care of my pup. My doggo goes there for daycare and now grooming as well! Cannot recommend them enough ❤️
This place is wonderful! We drove from California to Maine to attend an event where our kitty cat wasn’t allowed, and so she spent five days here. Found Suntar’s online, and chose it thanks to good reviews. Setting up the reservation with Gryta was easy and I could tell she really cares about the well being of the cats and dogs who have the good fortune to play and stay here. We dropped off Merlie Bird early on a Monday. It was her first time away from us since she had come into our lives six months prior, so the good-bye was a little teary. The friendly and efficient staff did a great job of getting the details of feeding and playtime, and we checked in daily to see how things were going - reports were pretty good considering it was a first-time stay for Merlie at a pet boarding home - good appetite but more reserved than usual during the times she spent in the common space. There are a lot of options for kitties to play, climb and snuggle, and she did a lot of snuggling in a cozy covered kitty bed. Several of the kennels have nice window views, and when one of those came available the staff was happy to move her to one so she could look outside more easily. We camp a lot so Merlie was happy to get back to our tent, but we could tell she was very well cared for in her time at Suntar’s. And, we will definitely have her stay here again if the opportunity comes up.
Very accommodating to my pet and I during a pinch. Also very fairly priced. Looking forward to continue using their boarding services.
These folks love my baby!! He was so nervous his 1st time but they were so good to him! Now when he goes he is all excited! It is great to be able to go somewhere and not worry if he is ok. Love seeing his pics on their FB & INSTA pages!! Suntar we love you guys!!!
We have brought our dog Franklin to Suntars for 3 years now and absolutely love them! We are always so happy with their grooming services. Our groomer, Elena is the absolute best and truly cares about Franklin. This is a clean, safe space for your animal and you will be happy with their pricing too!
