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.
Janis and her husband Dan were beyond phenomenal! Communication was great leading up to their arrival, especially with coordinating arrival and departure times. And during the sit, I got lots of picture updates throughout of how Isabel was doing. I could tell from the pictures how comfortable and happy my dog was hanging out with Janis and Dan and getting all the pets and attention. Coming home, everything was left so clean and organized. I definitely recommend them as pet sitters as they clearly took such good care of both my pup and my home.
Alyssa was a very organized and caring pet sitter. This was our longest house sitter stay and she took excellent care of our home and two sweet and bossy Frenchies. I liked her communication to touch base the week before and how she initiated a shared photo album. We prefer not to get bombarded with daily text message photos and updates. She came up with a connected solution and touched base throughout her stay keeping us informed and sharing photos without a push. She even shared some travel gems about our destination as she is also a curious traveler and enjoys exploring outdoors. We would be happy to use her again.
Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.
Bryan and Dana were the perfect sitters for Cella. We were delighted that they were able to arrive a day early so that we could enjoy dinner with them and get to know one another. We would be honored to have them sit again. On top of their great care they left us a thoughtful friendship gift. zeewoi continues to be the best site ever. Not only do we have great pet sitters for Cella, we also have the opportunity to meet great new friends. Thank you!!
Kyle was a great house sitter and pet sitter for us. We had a good dialogue prior to him sitting for us, and we also did a short walkthrough the week before. Kyle formed a great bond with our dog Charlie and also took good care of our rabbit Poppy. A couple of minor issues came up with systems in our home due to an unexpected power outage, and Kyle was quick to connect with us and then was able to work 1:1 with the service providers to resolve the issues. We look forward to working with Kyle again.
Early in 2023 I went searching for a sitter to sit with our Lizzie for a month. I found Lori during my search and I am so happy I did. Lori’s reviews are all five star and I can fully attest as to why. Lori was so friendly and kind and I could tell from the moment she met Lizzie that she would take great care of her. I received daily pictures of her and Lizzie snuggling and I couldn’t have been happier knowing my girl was receiving a lot of love. Lori left our home in wonderful shape (probably better than I left it for her). She took great care and was very conscientious of all my plants. We even came home after a very long day of travel to some wonderful chicken soup. Lori will take wonderful care of your home and your precious pet. Do not hesitate to contact her for your pet sitting needs. I already have her booked for 10/2024 so don’t try and get her then!!!😁
We've had many pet sitters over the years (this is our first time using this app) and Missy is the best sitter we've ever had for our dog and cats. Our pets, particularly our dog, adored her and was really sad to see her go. It is obvious she loves animals and immediately understood the pack dynamics and the pet personalities. She kept the house tidy, litter box clean, and the animals so well loved. Because she was traveling from far away, she stayed with us the night before our trip and the night we came back. It was a pleasure to get to know her. We would welcome her back to our house as a friend or a sitter anytime. Highly recommend!
Andrea was the perfect sitter for our older Italian Greyhound and our shy cat. She followed every request to a “t”, and helped us to feel comfortable and care free for a long zeewoi. The communication of photos and videos were a warm reminder of how well they had been adjusting to our absence. Andrea showed care and consistent compassion for Darcy and Hammy. She seemed to enjoy them and our home as much as us! We returned to an absolutely spotless home, without anything left undone. She thought of everything related to us and our pets, so we could have a seamless late evening return. We highly recommend Andrea for any zeewoi, as she is a jewel. Anyone looking for a “perfect” sitter would be lucky to have Andrea as a trustworthy, considerate and kind person to care for their pets and home.
Elaine was the best dog and cat sitter I have ever had! She was so loving to the boys, kind, reliable, capable and took fabulous care of my two dogs and cat welfare. Walked them every day and would even sing to them (-: I am so very grateful to have had the pleasure of meeting Elaine and I would recommend Elaine to anyone wanting first class care of pets and home!!! We all miss having her around and wish her a fabulous world trip and safe journey back to the States.

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!
