I needed a groomer for the summer months while staying in Rangeley and Country Mutt was recommended. We were greeted by Melissa who listened carefully to my requests.

While waiting I witnessed many happy clients picking up their dogs and a great doggie daycare environment. The boarding kennel area featured large spaces and was spotless. Highly recommend!

I am super appreciative of High Peaks Pet Sitting and the special care that Brandy gave to my dog…read moreMoki. Moki is 11 now and suffers from arthritis, but still loves to be super active and get out and play. I was away out of town for one long weekend with my boyfriend and we asked Brandy to take Moki for a hilly hike and I couldn't have asked for better care. Brandy was meticulous making sure she had all of Moki's essentials before they left. She put together a little care package with water, snacks, poop bags, leash and of course Moki's favorite ball. Brandy was also very careful about what type of meds Moki might need in case she was sore when she came back and we discussed Moki's favorite way to take her meds too. You could really tell Brandy had lots of prior experience as a Vet Tech the way she was so systematic about it all. However, the special bond Brandy formed with my dog after only meeting her for such a short while before we had to leave and go out of town was really the most impressive thing of all. Brandy really loves animals and she has a special way about her that makes them respond very positively to her too. I couldn't believe how attached Moki was to Brandy when we got back and also how good Moki looked with no limping or soreness even though they had gone for a pretty long hard hike together, as per my request. Brandy said that she had even given Moki a little mini doggy massage on her back legs, which was wonderful. Moki seemed so happy that she had gotten to get out still even though Mom and Dad had to go away for the weekend. Brandy provided exactly the type of service I am looking for in a pet sitter. I wouldn't want to give anything less to our family's fuzzy best friend.

This shelter is the best. They are a non-kill shelter and take tremendous care of their animals. The cats are housed in individual cages but are given free run of 2 rooms with cat trees, a sofa, and toys during the day on a rotating basis. Kittens have their own room. The dogs have indoor/outdoor runs. We visit sometimes just to get a "kitten fix." The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I could go on, but you get the idea! They work on a tight budget so donations are welcome. We give every year and get to have our names on a kitty cage. Just a plug for a great small town shelter!!

I have many wonderful things to say about this place! 1. I…read moretook in an abused, neglected dog and went broke paying for an emergency vet visit - so when she needed yet more veterinary attention not only couldn't I find any veterinarian within an hour of Bangor that was taking new clients and/or wasn't booking out MONTHS. Another emergency vet visit wasn't financially possible, I was devastated and desperate. When someone suggested a place in Cornville, ME I called Meadow Woods and they took the time, effort to find the soonest time they could see my dog. 2. The veterinarian that saw my dog had decades of experience. He made the experience the less frightening, etc as possible for my dog and came up with a treatment plan. 3. I was preparing myself for a large bill while checking out, then couldn't believe the amount I was charged for everything! I paid a fraction of what I'd have paid at any other vet clinic! Oh and they automatically filled the prescriptions the vet put my dog on, had them in labeled pill bottles and ready to go when I checked out! The visit fee, a rabies booster, a steroid injection, RX flea treatment, oral prednisone (steroid), oral antibiotics and a new pet charge...the total was just under $200!!!!!! My dog had been evaluated and treated by an emergency vet and a 'regular' vet, both did the same things which produced pretty limited results. At Meadow Woods the vet quickly stated that he was certain what was wrong and what my dog needed - and a matter of days later my dog wasn't in pain anymore, started healing and everything! Cornville is way out of the way for most Mainers. The drive there and back took us over 3 hours but it was DEFINITELY worth it. I'll be using Meadow Woods from now on.

Doggy Stylez / The Dog Bus is a new (less than one-year-old) small business in the Carrabassett…read moreValley. The owners, Ellen and Steve, offer dog walking near Sugarloaf Mountain, where similar services are quite rare. How it works: They pick up in the morning from Sugarloaf and surrounds, hike / walk and drive with your pup during the day, and drop off in the afternoon, around when the lifts close at Sugarloaf. There's a lot of driving, which anti-car dogs may not love, but I think the dogs get a fair amount of exercise as well. Good solution for active pups who own humans skiing at Sugarloaf. I don't send any of my little ones off with strangers easily, but Ellen and Steve are clearly dog people. Communications about daily activities could be better (they sent a walk log on the first day, but didn't thereafter). Prices are reasonable, especially given their proximity to a ski resort and the fact that they're probably the only providers of this kind of service in the vicinity. Good folks (who are accomplished professionals in areas outside of dog walking, as well), good business. We are grateful to have found The Dog Bus / Doggy Stylez through word of mouth and hope it sticks around for as long as the owners want to be in business.
