In this Covid mad Summer we decided to staycation at short notice and Caroline came to our rescue again for a four day break. Keys were picked up from a neighbour, the house was left very tidy and the dogs were safe and secure in their own home with their own routine. I would not hesitate in recommending Caroline to any pet owner. She is reliable and everything you would want in someone when looking after your pets. I'm just a bit disappointed that we have now been spoilt for any future vacations!!
Steve and Carolyn excelled in communication and took great care of Ziggy while I was away for the long weekend. They kept me updated with photos. When I returned home, I found Ziggy happy and relaxed. Thank you both so much.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 29.99 per visit, $20/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Jaimie is THE BEST. My dog loves her. Not only is her kennel great but her training works like a charm, she’s been helping us train our pup since she was 3 months old. We did one lesson of leash training and me and my pup were able to finally go on a hike with no pulling! If you want good, effective training, go here. Also a great place to board your pup if needed for vacation. Thank you!!!
Cannot say enough good things about Jamie & Main St. Kennels - as a nervous pet owner with two large dogs, its always a challenge to find someone to pet sit when we want to get away. From the moment we pulled up, our two shy dogs gravitated towards Jamie and seemed to feel right at home. She came highly recommended from a family member, and we are so grateful to have found her. Thank you Jamie for giving us the peace of mind to be able to enjoy our vacation, and for taking such great care of our furry kids :)
I think I’m more nervous than my dog. I felt very comfortable to leave my dog with her. Her genuine care and love for pets can’t be denied. Pricing is very reasonable too. Love her!
My terrier mix Molly loves Jamie like a 2nd mom. I never worry about Molly when she’s with Jamie. We drive 30 minutes to Main Street Kennel even though there are closer options. We’re lucky to have found her.
Jamie has been taking care of our dog for close to 10 years. At one point he even stayed 6 weeks! He is well taken care of and happy there. When he returns he acts the way he always is, happy and well behaved. One time we left him elsewhere and when he returned acted fearful and different. It took him a few days to act like himself again. Never with Jamie! She treats him as her own. She is very trustworthy and accommodating . I have called Jamie at the last minute and she always helps me out! He also comes back clean and well fed. I’m addition, I have texted Jamie with questions and she always takes time to respond to me. We totally trust and recommend her!
Jaime and her son are true dog lovers and take such good care of our dog. We hired Jaime as a trainer for our yellow lab when she was only 9 weeks old, and she has been super helpful with advice, tips, and overall training guidance. She is a real dog whisperer and has a perfect touch with dogs. They trust her. We've also used the kennel service to drop off our dog for the day or even for extended trips of 1-3 weeks. She receives excellent care, plays with other dogs, is fed well, and walked daily. Our dog is always super excited to see Jaime when we drop her off, which proves she receives great care there. Dogs don't lie. Even after a 3-week trip, our dog came back clean and fresh, and went right back to her routine at home the same day, no trauma or erratic behavior. Jaime always washes and brushes our dog clean and nice after overnight stays. All we needed to do was agree on a time when we'd pick-up the dog and stick to that schedule. Even during the pandemic, Jaime was very accommodating. She operated by appointment only for safety reasons, which we greatly appreciated. We've used Jaime's services for almost 2 years now and we never have to worry about what to do with our dog when we have plans, Jaime is always there for us. It's like a day camp or sleepaway camp for our Freyja :)
Simply the best! Jaime did an amazing job not only training our dog, but sharing thoughts and insights with us about our dog's care and training. They take terrific care of dogs there! I would encourage anyone who loves there dog to provide them with the best training and boarding available in the area-Main Street Kennels!
Jamie Casale is absolutely the best there is, bar none! My dog is a nervous little guy and has pretty severe separation anxiety but, I can truly say, he comes back from his stays with Jamie seemingly more relaxed and happy than when he left! He loves his stays at Main Street Kennels and I know he is in good hands whenever we are away. Highly recommended!
My dogs always are happy when I leave them there and when I pick them up.
I don’t know the first thing about training a puppy - but what I did know was that I fell in love with this sweet face from day one and I knew I could give her a great home. Little did I know she came home and went from sweet little Lucie to crazy Lucille who would not stop nipping at Sadie! I know it’s just a puppy being playful - but then she would nip at me, my kids and Chris and her nip turned into a bite and it hurt. Like I said , I know nothing about training a puppy but I wanted to give her a home. That said, i am super grateful that Debbie introduced to the “Dog Whisperer” of Mendham. She took Lucie for two full days and here’s the thing that I realized - she really got Lucie to understand that what she was doing was just wrong behavior and she corrected her. Lucie is not a bad girl she just needed to be taught like “oh wait - I’m not supposed to do that??? Omg I’m sorry!!!!” It was like a light went off in her head and she had her “ah ha!” moment! Jamie literally understands how the dogs think and the best way to communicate with them and in her own dog whisperer way explains that is not nice and not acceptable behavior! Lucie came home from Jamie boot camp and had zero interest in nipping Sadie and as a bonus is sleeping in her crate! Jamie is my hero!
