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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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
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.
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.

Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
Evan and Maria were fabulous. They are experienced sitters and it shows in their independence. They sent regular updates, but not too regular and were totally self sufficient. Most importantly both the house and dog were perfect when we returned home.
This is our second time welcoming Michele and we were so happy to have her back! Our dogs Pedro and Samantha love her and it is clear she loves them! Our house was immaculate upon our return and Michele made her famous lemon chicken recipe which we gobbled up and then we asked for the recipe. We can't say enough great things about her and hope you are lucky enough to get her as a sitter for your pets.
If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂
Stephanie was fantastic! Very organized and left our house sparkling clean. She also sent daily pictures/messages which we loved receiving. She took great care of our dog and our house. One of the best sitters we’ve had!
Jo & David were absolutely amazing sitters for our house and dog Rosie while we were out of town for 2 1/2 weeks. They are the best! Jo was super communicative and responsive at all times. She and David bonded with our dog, who grew very attached to them. They left our house super clean (and there were even chocolate chip cookies for us on our return)! Most of all, they are just super nice people and very easy to work with. Anyone is lucky to have JoAnna & David housesit for them.
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!
Lisa and Matt were absolutely fantastic sitters for us and our dog, Moose. Not only were they flexible when our flight was changed last minute, they also were able to stay an extra day to accommodate the changes. They communicated with us promptly during the scheduling and planning process for the housesit. They arrived on time on the (re)scheduled day. They acclimated to our dog very quickly and gave us piece of mind as we left by taking him on a walk to avoid his separation anxiety. We chatted every day and exchanged photos of Moose playing at the beach and in the yard. He was so happy! No problems were encountered with the house. Even our neighbors commented on how friendly and kind Lisa and Matt both were and how they really cared for Moose. The house was spotless when we returned. Everything in proper order, better than we left it. We can't thank them enough for the excellent experience!
Tom and Diana were perfect house sitters and guests. Great company, our dog immediately made herself at home with Tom. Animals loved and cleaned. House spotless, great communication and even left a thank you card and gift when they left. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Tony is so amazing! He absolutely loves your furry kid/s as much as you do! He just has a way with connecting with them and making you feel included in the training. I highly recommend Crazy Daisy’s!!
Tony and Michelle took great care of both my babies while we were away. I am ashamed to say they probably got more attention at Crazy Daisy’s than they do at home. Tony & Michelle even moved their sleeping quarters to be nearer to the dogs who were used to sleeping with mom at home. They have a genuine love for animals and i would trust them with my fur babies any time. Not to mention all the new tricks and positive behavior they learned while with Tony.
Tony is great to work with, both for the dog and the human! It really shows that he cares about the animal and providing knowledge to help us welcome the best dog in the whole world into our family.
My dog Vulcan loves going to see Tony and Michelle for daycare. He runs right to the door on the days he goes, excited to see his friends. It makes me feel confident he's getting the love and care he needs when I'm at work or during an overnight stay. Thank you guys!
They are the best! Tony has become a huge part of our dogs lives, and now ours. Our dogs just gravitate to him, listen to him, and respect him. He offers training and walking. One of the most trustworthy people I’ve met. Cannot say enough about him!
I rescued a 1 year old husky mix from Texas that was much larger and mouthy than I was expecting. I was actually afraid of this dog and didn’t know what to do. Tony helped prevent my beautiful dog from going back into a shelter. He was able to immediately show me my dog’s potential. After only two sessions, I cannot believe the tools I have to make us both understand each other. Tony is truly a dog whisperer, my unruly puppy was turned into basically a show dog before my eyes. 10/10 I owe so much to him, and him being available for any questions even after the training.
My dog loves Tony (and Michelle!) and enjoyed our training session so much. Tony told me to video anything I needed to practice later. My dog was so engaged the entire time. He’s also stayed with Tony and Michelle when I was away and it was clear he was having a blast. I got plenty of picture/videos of my baby boy too which was above and beyond and so sweet. I 100% recommend Crazy Daisy’s and know my dog is getting so much love when working with Tony.
So good at training dogs they should make YouTube videos or have a tv show, they teach the owners and their kids how to be better owners
Cora(my Labradoodle) loves him. She gets excited when she hears his voice even from a video he has posted and I am watching. She comes running over with her little tail just a wagging. He is patient, kind and willing to work on anything you feel your dog needs help with or just teaching them tricks. You can tell he loves what he does and really cares about the dogs he works with. I would highly recommend Tony as your dogs trainer.
My elderly mother brings her dog, JoJo, to Crazy Daisy's and there has been a marked improvement in JoJo's behavior since working with Tony. Both JoJo and my Mom love working with Tony and look forward to their session's. I would highly recommend Crazy Daisy's Dog Training. Great business, run by great people.
I highly recommend Paul and Maine Point Kennels for anyone looking for exceptional dog training services. I brought my two dogs here for obedience and gundog training, and the experience has been nothing short of outstanding. Paul is a true professional, demonstrating a remarkable blend of expertise in both obedience and gun dog training. Their approach is not only highly effective but also patient and encouraging, which made a huge difference in my dogs' progress. My dogs have shown tremendous improvement in their obedience skills and have developed a new level of confidence and responsiveness. The gun dog training has been equally impressive, with noticeable enhancements in their focus and performance. The facility itself is top-notch, clean, and well-equipped, and the staff are always friendly and supportive. It's clear that they genuinely care about the well-being and success of every dog they work with. They also offer a pickup/drop off shuttle service that is easy, affordable, and super helpful! If you're looking for a place where your dogs will receive expert care and training in a positive and supportive environment, Maine Point Kennels is the place to go. Thank you Paul and Sinead for all the hard work and dedication you've put into helping my dogs become their best selves! We'll see you again soon!
An amazing experience for both me and my dog. You can really see the care they put into training the dog and owner. I love that it is a veteran owned and run company that has quality equipment and personnel. We have a hard headed old English bulldog and they not only get through to him but he loves going there as well. We use them for boarding whenever we leave town because we know they don't just sit in a kennel all day.
Paul is amazing with our 5 month old puppy and we are really happy with his services. We got Atlas when he was 10 weeks old and started working with Paul when he was 12 weeks old. We just got him back after he stayed with Paul and his wife for 2 weeks for board and train and he is listening a lot better!! He is still puppy and still has his craziness but even after a few hours there is a huge difference. Paul is very understanding, patient, and straightforward with us. He has the best interest for us and Atlas to all succeed. He truly is an amazing trainer and I highly recommend him!!
We can't recommend Maine Point Kennels, Paul and Sinead enough! Although we live a bit of a distance away, Paul has been an incredible resource for our family and our pit mix. His wealth of knowledge and expert advice has made a world of difference as we train our dog to be more suitable for our growing family. Paul is patient, approachable, and always willing to offer guidance when needed. If you're looking for a professional who truly understands dogs and their training needs, look no further than Maine Point Kennels. Thank you, Paul, for your ongoing support and dedication!
I researched on training and obedient schools for roughly 3-5 weeks prior to selecting Maine Point Kennels. Out of all of the positive reviews I decided to take the leap and invest in my 6 month old German Short haired pointer pup. I had the opportunity to have Paul and as my trainer and it was well worth the investment. Prior to arriving, my GSP would pull very aggressively on walks, bark at any other dog / person, counter surf and I could not eat any meal in front of him without him being crated. 3 weeks was also a very long time for my pup to be away, but Paul was fantastic in his communication. I received daily pictures of progress with details of what they worked on that day. I asked A LOT of questions and Paul was very patient in responding and answering all my questions. Once the 3 weeks were over, my pup was returned by Paul followed by a 3 hour turnover of what they worked on and how I should proceed with training on my own. Paul showed me how to walk with my pup and I was astonished how well he was walking, I didn’t have to pull him back once, I can eat food with him sitting in place, in general a completely different dog. My pup did show signs of trying to revert back to some of his old ways, (minor pulling on leash when walking, not heeling as close to my side but still a game changer to where he was) Once he started reverting back to his old ways, Paul called me and gave me a few best practices and even offered to come back to me to help with the training. Overall, very satisfied with the work and training they did for my pup. Thank you Paul! You are a true professional and I love this veteran owned business!
We had the pleasure of having our pup go through training with Maine Point Kennels. After back and forth consideration upon utilizing service's, with the help and alignment from Paul, things began to take shape. Our pup then met Paul; what a phenomenal human! (Which is an understatement!) Instant connection with our Pup Lucky and off to Hogwarts he went for a 2 week board & training! The passion, dedication and attention to detail Paul exuded while training our pup was astounding! Words can not express our appreciation & gratitude. It’s now been about 1 week from going through training and life could not be better! Manners are an understatement and higher self of steam radiates from our pup! Thank you Paul for bringing your skills and passion to Maine Point Kennels! It was truly an honor to have you as our pups trainer. Thank you for being you and thank you for sharing your grift and helping our family! Most of all thank you for your service to our country! May the universe protect you and your family upon every step you take in abundance with alignment & ease!
I had such a fantastic experience with Maine Pointe. The entire process was seamless and positive, from my initial phone call to picking up my dog. I opted for the two-week program, and my one-year-old Golden Retriever was paired with Paul. He truly works miracles! When I picked up my dog, He reviewed everything he had taught Brodie, so I felt well-prepared to build on his foundation. Brodie continues to excel and is much calmer and better behaved-overall. He no longer takes 10 minutes to settle down when he meets a stranger. Walking him was daunting and frustrating as he would pull and try to greet everyone passing by. I love taking him out for exercise and appreciate that he can go off-leash and explore without issues. Paul’s expertise and care have vastly improved our quality of life.
Cannot express enough the amount of attention and detail Paul put into training our pup! He is a professional in all aspects and would recommend him to any and all dog owners looking to get their dog off leash. I'll never forget to wallllk the dog as my pup now walks me
Paul is a true professional! Very knowledgeable and passionate about what they do, Paul and Sinead run a great kennel! Very clean facility and top notch training, very happy with choosing Maine Point Kennels!
Outstanding business that is veteran owned and operated! Your dogs will recieve the best training here and of course lots of love 💗 …
Very compassionate and professional. Jessica did an amazing job! My Olga smells so good and is so soft after her treatments. Jessica even put a pretty little bandanna on her. I Highly recommend Grand Paws Pet Salon!
Called to get a estimate on my 3 lb to get her first bath.. over $100 it's just about ridiculous who can afford that? I cannot believe what places like discharge so much to give a 3 lb dog a bath. I wasn't looking for a bougie bath with bubbles 🥂 cheers I'll go elsewhere thanks but for that price I can get two of my dogs done. And clipped
Highly Recommend! My pup had his spa day and he smells so good and his coat is so soft! Super friendly!
We just moved to the area and we're very concerned about getting a new groomer. We have a labradoodle and she had been going to the same groomer for 4 years. The team at Grand Paws was amazing! They did a great job and got her in and out so she didn't have to sit in a crate all day. I highly recommend this pet salon.
Our experience with Grand Paws mobile van was a new and great experience. So convenient and Jessica made our dog Rosie feel so comfortable and safe. She had the works and feels and smells so good. Rosie even gave Jessica a goodby kiss 💜 We highly recommend !!! …
Our dog has not been groomed for about 3 years. She is a Lab/Great Pyrenees. They did a great job, very professional and very attentive. Highly recommended.
We had our first mobile grooming appointment for our dog this week and it was awesome! Our dog has never been this clean and typically she is traumatized by the whole bathing process (she is terrified of water) but she was happy and playful after her visit. Will definitely continue using this company/service-they are amazing!
My cat has a hard time grooming herself with all her fur so she mats up everywhere, we decided to do the lion cut. She came back so happy! All she does is show it off. The groomer was punctual, friendly, and thorough.
We have nothing but great things to say about Grand Paws Pet Salon. They are professional, courteous, kind and genuinely care. They do a great job and we highly recommend them. Thank you, Rich & Paula
Love, Love this service! Both dogs get their nails done at the same time! Right at the house. They’re not stressed at all and jump right into their vehicle! Done so quickly!
