Dog Sitters in Cumberland Center Station, ME

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!

New Client. Long time Golden Owners. Love how clean the Portland facility was. Designed smartly for Pets to be coming and going without causing problems at the entrance. They put two entrances. Smart. Waiting areas , same thing. The team members where cleaning stalls and maintaining the property with pleasure. And the monitors on all the rooms in the reception area. Liked it. The App is rather friendly to use. Great. Cant find any reason why not to call this my 2 Dogs (Brady & Brandy) "Home away from Home"

We highly recommend Camp Bow Wow Portland. Our Irish Setter girl loves to go there to board and for day care. The staff is friendly and caring.

We love the friendly staff and clean facility. They love dogs and it shows, our dog can’t wait to go to daycare. We’ve used the boarding facilities as well and could not ask for better service, highly recommend!

Our pup love Camp Bow Wow and so do we. Hami is always so excited to go in and play with his dog friends but really loves his staff friends the most. He goes weekly and we board him as well every now and then because he likes it so much and it can be more convenient than getting him to a relative and the peace of mind knowing he’s safe and not getting into anything is great. I’d highly recommend this facility over other nearby options, Hami used to go to the one very close by and are so happy we swapped to Bow Wow.

Staff provide such a safe and caring environment for my pet which allows me to be able to enjoy my time away knowing he is being taken care of.

My pup Alex loves going to camp bow wow!! I like the add on services available and that i can check in on him with the dog cams. Staff is great amf do not hesitate to call if they feel your pup is not feeling well - piece of mind for me that he is having fun and well cared for while there

Everyone there is so lovely. Our Sadie is a bit of a handful but everyone is so nice about dealing with her. We really appreciate how patient they are with her craziness.

I brought my 6 month old english setter in for her first interview and I was thrilled to be able to check in on her throughout the day with their doggie cams. She seemed so happy and the staff were all super friendly. I can't wait to bring my little girl back to play again!

My puppy Papillon, Holly, absolutely loves attending camp during the work week. Every morning, we get up and sing our own "Camp Bow-Wow" song and her tail wags so uncontrollably that she wiggles all over with excitement! When dropping her off, she loves to greet the staff with morning barks and scratches at the door to get through to her friends! Everybody who works at CBW, Portland, know my dog's name and treat her with so much warmth and love! The staff are always smiling and keep me up-dated on Holly's doings when I pick her up. The facility is always clean, run very well and even provided Holly with a jacket when she got too cold. Camp Bow Wow is an awesome experience for any dog! Katie and Holly Clark

My dog loves Camp Bow Wow! He goes to daycare and has been boarded there. The staff are all so great with him!

We used Happy Tails for when we went cross country to California. May 30-June 12 it was under $800 and that included doggy daycare. Our dog was happy and healthy when we got back with no problems at all.

Happy Tails is a warm and friendly place and Rory just absolutely loves going there! They have helped him with his anxiety and often match him with specific dogs that he plays really well with!

So thankful for happy tails! The staff is wonderful and have always been very accommodating to both of my dogs. One of my dogs requires a lot more patience and they have gone above and beyond for him. Plus, they always leave tired and happy! The “report cards” are super cute and fun too.

I have a VERY sensitive dog and this is the only daycare out of the 5 or 6 I have been to that he gets excited to go to in the morning. He is very happy to see each and every member of the staff. Begrudgingly, even the nice lady who does his nails. The owner has a strong presence at the business and he is very passionate about the care of your animals. Keep up the good work guys!

Happy Tails is the best doggy day care we’ve sent our dog to in all of New England!! The staff is friendly and know what they’re doing. Our dog always comes home happy!

I have a 2 year old Siberian husky who attended daycare multiple times. She has been accustomed to daycare since she was 4 months old and had no problems whatsoever. After my dog had spent multiple days a week at Happy Tails, I was told that i needed to have a discussion about my dog’s anxiety during break time. I was not aware that this day care had break time, where they put the dogs in separate kennels that resemble animal shelter cells. I do not kennel my dog, she’s a Siberian husky/malamute mix who is very active. She has attended multiple daycares who do not practice “break time.” She can self regulate, and frankly I am not willing to pay $50 per day for her to be forced to have a break time where she is separated from the other dogs and is locked into a kennel. I am glad that I never brought my older husky to this daycare whom I adopted from the shelter, as I feel these “break” times would have brought back too many traumatic memories. Do not recommend this daycare mainly because they do not know how to handle active dogs and want to discuss “your dog’s anxiety” after they lock them in an individual cell away from all of the other dogs.

I cannot recommend Happy Tails enough. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. They go above and beyond for our two dogs. They conduct pawsonality interviews for new dogs to make sure it’s a good fit for all (I so appreciate that daycare and boarding facilities do this!) and our dog Cleo struggled during hers - she suffers from some anxiety and HT worked through a variety of options - housing her in the larger kennel, housing her with her brother Boots and also trying a crate. I spoke on the phone with the manager multiple times during her first few visits and worked out a plan for her that would ultimately make her the happiest and most successful when staying at HT. The amount of thoughtfulness, professionalism and care that they provide for our dogs is unmatched. Cleo has tried other daycares where she says “nope, not going in.” When we arrive at HT her entire body wiggles from excitement and she cannot wait to go. They know the personalities of our two dogs better than anyone and they have them in the appropriate groups of other dogs they get along with and let them go out to the bathroom together before bed when they board there so they can say goodnight to one another. If only every daycare and boarding facility could be like Happy Tails.

Having just moved to the Portland area, I decided to try Happy Tails out for my two dogs. The moment the owner referred to my Sharpei as a “power breed,” I knew my dogs wouldn’t be treated with the love and kindness they more than deserve. After their two visits, I was told they did well. However, when I tried to schedule them for boarding, the the owner informed me that I would have to bring them at least five times before boarding bc they showed signs of anxiety. Even then, he said they might not be able to board. Thankfully, this is the only place we have ever received this kind of treatment. We now go to a daycare and boarding facility that welcomes my pups with open arms and they have a blast swimming and playing with other dogs.

I've been taking our pup here since she was old enough to go. She LOVES it. We had to stop while she wasn't spayed and life was brutal. I work long shifts, and not many places can accommodate 6:30 AM to 8:00 PM. The staff loves their clients for sure. She's always excited to go, and sleeps like a rock. I drive out of my way to come here. Also have a great walking service with an app to go with to keep you informed! We love Happy Tails

Been to other places and this is by far the absolute best dog day care and boarding around! They are responsible, attentive, kind and dedicated. They get to know each dog and ensure s/he has an excellent experience. My two dogs flip out when we say, "Wanna go to ... Happy Tails?" It's our favorite :)

You can't find anyone in Maine who will love your pet as much as you do, except for Laurie! She puts everything she has into her work because she is passionate about animals and she is the consummate professional. Until I moved to California, I used Laurie exclusively to take care of my Labrador and I never had the slightest concern about my dog's safety or happiness. Contact Laurie, meet her in person, and you'll see what I mean. She is incredible!

Laurie's service is unparalleled! Thor, our 98 lb. German Shepard and Darby our 3-legged force of nature were in her care on several occasions while traveling. We love our pets and it was so nice to be able to have somebody we can trust take care of them so we we were able to enjoy our vacation. We are at the point that we will schedule our vacations around The Prominent Pet's availability. We got pictures every day, and the proof was in the pudding when we came home to bright eyes and wagging tails.

We've entrusted Laurie at The Prominent Pet for years with my dog and two cats! She is so caring and compassionate with animals and give them what they need. We've used her services from simple dog walks when our schedules won't allow, to overnight stays for up to a week when we were on vacation. She is a dream sitter for our furry kids.

Laurie takes amazing care of our dog and two cats when we are out of town. They are always relaxed, well-cared for, and content when we get back home. Laurie is fantastic about checking in and will send us pictures of them while we are away. I completely trust Laurie with our fur babies and in our home. She’s the BEST! Highly recommend!

To preface this review, I am not someone who ever wants to go anywhere without my dogs, but we needed to be away for the weekend. I lucked out and found Laurie...She is a blessing! Prior to leaving for the weekend, I stopped by Laurie’s home for payment...I was promptly greeted by 2 beautiful and well behaved dogs with joyful kisses In her beautifully maintained home! She is a wonderful pet owner herself. I knew she was going to take such great care of my babies. Laurie is a true professional from start to finish. She showed up at our home for our first meeting with pen in hand and wrote everything down as we chatted. All three of our dogs took to her right away. That spoke volumes for us because our pack doesn’t let just anyone into their circle or home. Laurie has such a calm and kind demeanor. We knew she was the perfect person to leave our dogs in her care with. Our weekend away was spectacular. Laurie kept us up to date every day with stories and photographs! It was so relieving to know everyone was happy! Unfortunately, our puppy was naughty and ate plants and other goods...Laurie cleaned everything up. Our house looked great (minus a couple of floor plants) upon our return home. Thank you Laurie, for being the real deal!

Amazing care provided including daily updates with photos! Laurie is reliable, reasonably priced and genuinely loves what she does. From old dogs to new pups, timid cats and rambunctious chickens, Laurie handles it with ease! Can’t speak highly enough for this wonderful service!! Not to mention she leaves the house immaculate, waters plants brings in mail and has suggestions for any cleaning tips I ask of her. We love Laurie as much as our pets do!!

Laurie has dog-sat at our house several times with our two Rottweilers. The boys adore her and it is such a relief knowing they are safe and happy at home with Laurie. She is always vey responsive when we reach out and she sends pics and video updates of the dogs while we’re a way. My dogs are a lot of work and Laurie does a great job with them. I recommend her wholeheartedly!

Laurie watched our cat Leo while we were on a week long vacation. She sent daily updates and pictures ( he is usually shy with strangers, but he seemed to really like Laurie ). She took a real interest in his well-being. We are thankful to know we have a professional like Laurie the next time we go away. She was really great!!

Laurie is both amazing with pets and amazing to work with! She is super flexible with our hectic schedule and is always accommodating and willing to care for our pup at all hours. I’ve ran into her taking care of other dogs and you can tell she loves them! She always has them in her control but it super sweet to them at the same time! And my fur babies lover her!

Laurie has been taking care of my two dogs for almost ten years. First she took care of them when she and I both lived in Southern Maine/NH. Then I moved to the Portland area four years ago and struggled to find reliable and trustworthy pet sitters to take care of my now senior dogs. Upon looking at my vet’s website for referrals I saw Laurie’s name! The shear joy and relief I felt when I realized Laurie was operating her business in this area was tremendous. She is my first call whenever I need someone to take care of the boys and/or stay in our home. You cannot find a better dog sitter!

This is by far the most fun and fulfilling job I’ve ever worked at. My stranger reactive/dog selective pup, Sundae, also loves it here! It’s amazing to see how far she’s come with the staff, even rolling over for belly rubs from them and jumping on them to get kisses. I love getting the daily report cards and seeing my selective girl get the chance to make friends and play her little heart out. They also make sure to let my more lazy pup, Moose, get as many naps as he needs and sneak him some cookies when I’m not looking. My dogs love it here and so do I! Thank you Roscoes <3

There are not enough characters available to tell you all the reasons I/we love this place. Bottom line is my big baby Rip wags his tail when we pull in the lot and can't wait to get through the door to play. He is happy and exhausted when I pick him up. I trust this staff at Roscoe's 100% with my boy and this means everything!! They've helped me learn more about some of his puppy/adolescent behaviors and helped with redirecting tips. They even surprised me with a bday photo! Every month they offer a different photo shoot for a nominal fee. My lil turkey!! They're amazing. We are thankful for Roscoe's!

My pup has been going to Roscoe's for almost 2 years and we are big fans! The staff are all so friendly and take great care of my pup while he is there. I am also so pleased with the level of communication! They call or communicate at pick up anything we need to know, and the daily report cards are great - I always look forward to their photos! It's nice to be able to watch my dog on the live webcams. My dog always has a great time here, and I feel good leaving him in the care of such wonderful people. Highly recommend!

Roscoe's was recommended to me by my dog's vet when he was a small puppy. That was about three years ago, and he's been going regularly ever since. I could not be happier with the care he gets there, and the people are nothing but terrific. They're friendly and helpful in times of need (such as last-minute overnights for family emergencies), and they clearly love the dogs they get to spend their days with (mine in particular, of course). It's exactly what we needed for our Springer Spaniel as well as the rest of our family.

Pops loves it there, though he does seem prefer the company of the playgroup supervisor over the dogs. We love the webcams! I'm constantly checking in on him at work and everybody here loves watching the dogs. And the optional photo shoot packages are great!

My dog has been there for 10 stays and gotten kennel cough 3 times. The most recent time picking him up it had already progressed badly enough that he needed to be taken to the emergency vet. They ignore warning signs and do not isolate dogs that are exhibiting symptoms regardless of how severe. It is a nice space, and the webcam to watch your dogs is great, but not worth the risk.

My dog stays at roscoes whenever I go on a trip. It's nice to be able to see him on cameras and check in on him while I'm gone. I also love seeing the report cards and the pictures they send!

My dog loves the VIP program. The more individualized program with less dogs, which means less chaos for him. He gets his energy out playing with a few dogs. He’s happy and safe.

Roscoe's is truly the best. I always know my dog, Jerry, is having fun and being well cared for and I love the report cards we get at the end of each day with photos of Jerry and his friends! I also love their availability for daycare and overnights that make spur of the moment plans a breeze!

Love how they care for your pet as their own! Also love the videos and pictures they send. I like that you can check in with the cameras to catch your dog having fun!

We love CF Pawsitive Packleader - our rescue dog loves going twice a week for daycare and enrichment activities. He loves hanging out with his doggie friends and the trainers and staff are all super loving and attentive. He is always excited to see everyone and comes home tired. I love knowing that he's getting extra training and socialization through the available enrichment activities. We also have him board when we need to be away and love knowing he's well taken care of. Our boy has added a lot of positive skills thanks to Nikolle and her team!

We absolutely love sending our dog to Charlie’s Friends. Kim, Nikolle, Elizabeth and the entire staff truly cares for each dog and gives individual time and attention to each pup. The daily walks, activities and socialization the dogs experience is amazing and truly helps in the well being of our dog. Charlie’s Friends is the best kennel around!

WE LOVE PAWSITIVE PACKLEADER!! Our dog cannot wait to attend "school" and loves the whole team! Nikolle and group spend time and so much effort during puppy training class and daycare to make your dog the best it can be! 10/10 recommend!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I'd give them a 6-star review if I could. My dog truly enjoys staying at Charlie's Friends. (I've never been able to say that about another place ever before). The facilities are comfortable, spotless, and the rooms and kennels are clean (as is my dog when we pick him up at the end of his stay). He enjoys it so much it's hard to get him to leave sometimes which tells me the staff there have a genuine love for what they do and their four-legged customers. (Just look at all the smiling doggos on their social media.) Everyone I've referred to Charlies Friends has given me similar feedback about their experience there. I give Kim Storey and her team my highest recommendation.

We recently boarded our dogs for a week at Charlie's Friends Daycare and had a really good experience. Coordinating the stay was easy via email. Staff was very attentive to details about medicine and care, since one of our our dogs is a senior with mobility issues. When we came back, our dogs looked happy and relaxed. The daycare is tidy, floors and walls were actually just wiped down when we visited both times, and other dogs walking in were pulling their people in, so that's always a good sign. I'll definitely board here again.

The staff was rude, my sweet dog was picked up with several bite marks, and they weren't fed their food even though the website says for customers to bring their own food as they don't want to deal with diet changes. Be mindful here.

Fantastic place to trust with your dog. Amazing staff and great training options, you can tell they genuinely care!

We absolutely love Charlie’s and so does our Belgian Malinois! We use Charlie’s for day care and boarding and we always feel so comfortable leaving them with care for our dog. The staff is great and attentive. They take the dogs on off leash hikes and find good play groups based on your dogs personality. They also offer dog training while your dog stays there which we also do periodically and have seen great results. Our dog is always happy to arrive and tired when we pick her up. I couldn’t recommend a better place

Very interactive with your pups! Offer day and overnight care. They are very caring and have lots of energy to play with the dogs. They take them out on long walks and play a lot too. All the pups there seem so happy. My only hiccup is that I called about my pickup time in the morning and that message wasn't relayed to the rest of the staff, but they were diligent and called and we're very nice.

My 2 dogs have boarded at Charlie's Friends a few times. They both come home happy and tired. As a matter of fact, one doesn't seem to want to come home. These people know dogs and take great care of them.

We have been using Peace of Mind Pals for I think over two years now! They are very reliable and dependable. It’s hard to find someone you trust with your fur babies and having them come to your home when you’re not there. Marie is always very responsive and helps us out when we are in a pinch! Very thankful!

We love using Peace of Mind for every vacation they have been awesome! They send email updates with photos and are so reliable and kind. You can tell they really love and care about the animals! She even reads books and listens to music with them. Highly recommend!!

We have been using Peace of Mind Pals for years and love their service. We get photos of our two cats everyday that they take care of them. They are very reliable and take care of our cats with tender loving care!

The people at Peace of Mind Pals are wonderful. We had them take care of our very sassy cat for a week and they followed the instructions to a tee as well as provided daily updates. Their pricing was extremely reasonable and I would recommend them to anyone who needs a pet sitter

I love Peace of Mind Pals. They give me exactly that...peace of mind! Sadie always sends me lovely pictures and check in’s about my kitty so I can go away knowing she is well cared for.

I really enjoyed this walking service but unfortunately had a walker who mistreated my dogs to the point that they became skittish and timid. When contacting the owner of the service she was very unprofessional and stopped responding. It’s very unfortunate. My animals are extremely important to me. I am lucky a neighbor reached out who witnessed the incident. I had some great walkers and one terrible one. Please beware and cautious.

Great group of people. They sent pictures of our puppy to us and gave us an update. Will definitely use them again.

I filled out the online form and the only response I got was that they don't service Windham. We don't live in Windham, we live in Falmouth. They say they service Falmouth. No response when I replied that we live in Falmouth, not Windham.

Amy gives great care to our kitty Maxine. We know we can count on her.. thank you!

They are just lovely. Being away I truly had peace of mind for my little ones. Thanks!
