She made the process so simple and truly provided such an enriching and loving long weekend for our dog, complete with many hikes, walks, and swims. She kept us updated all weekend with photos of him, and brought him for our wedding portraits. He was so calm and relaxed, freshly shampoo'd and ready to go! We are so forever grateful to Debby for taking such amazing care of him. It was the best feeling being away from him and knowing he was in such capable and kind hands. We could not recommend Debby enough!! Thank you, thank you thank you!

I was excited to start training here after moving to the area. I signed up for a higher level class…read moresince my pup already had multiple intermediate and advanced classes under her belt at our old facility. But they didn't communicate with me until after I had paid 190 dollars that it was required that I pay another 65 dollars for an online zoom meeting with my dog. I couldn't justify paying 2 dollars a minute for a zoom call for my dog on top of the original fee! I understand an in person consult requiring some cost but 65 dollars for 30 minutes all online was not worth it. Unfortunately I had to request a refund and am looking for other trainers in the area that might be a better fit.

We just added a wonderful but reactive guy to our household. When regular class proved too much for him, Megan came to our home and gave us great support, techniques, strategies and equipment insights to help make life more pleasant for him and us. And speaking of classes, we went through the family dog class, taught by Maria, with our daughter's rescue Rottweiler. It was fun, clear, and made a world of difference for a dog that is now praised as a "perfect" resident of a Denver apartment building! Both Megan and Maria are highly professional, staying current on the best evidence-based training techniques and upgrading their own knowledge. They are also both committed to positive reinforcement training that improves the bond between owner and dog. They offer a full range of classes and individual instruction. They are super!

I recently moved to Maine and contacted Kara's Petcare on the recommendation of my vet. I was so…read moreexcited because it seemed like they would be able to offer daycare for my dogs and some auxiliary training if needed. They also said they did transport to the daycare facility and boarding on occasion. It seemed perfect. I should mention that there are Kara's pet care facilities in Portsmouth, Berwick, and Falmouth. First I was asked to set up a meet and greet with one of their associates at my home so she could meet my pets. It took me many tries to get through many unreturned phone calls, but finally we did set up the meet and greet and that went well. Then I was asked to set up an app and an account before we could actually schedule any dog care. So I set up the app and the account. Then I was asked to drive my dogs to their facility to see if the dogs would "be happy there." So I drove my dogs 25 minutes to the facility. When I got to the facility I was told that they were supposed to stay there for a day assessment and then I should come and pick them up. This was not communicated to me earlier, and I had not budgeted an extra hour of driving back-and-forth. Then they would reschedule the assessment and they would come and pick up my dogs for the day-long assessment. All before any dog care could be scheduled. So, still not on the calendar. So to summarize: you need to go through a long process of scheduling a meet and greet, then you need to have the meet and greet, then you need to sign up for the app, then your dogs have to be assessed to see if they will be happy. I'm just thinking that anyone who's busy enough to need dog care is too busy for this multilayered, multi-step, poorly communicated process where phone calls, texts, and emails are returned only about half the time.

It turned out that he had heartworm and it was not on his paperwork and she was not told. This year has been horrendous for this very sweet dog and for her. He suffered terribly. He completed a long thorough heartworm treatment and had a few good months however he had the heartworm long enough that some of the dead heartworms stayed in his heart. He just died yesterday.
