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.

My dog, Max, and I travel quite a bit. Sometimes? I just need a break. I found Carolann, at…read morecreature quarters, through a personal referral. Once I provided her our vet records? We were in! Now, Max loves people. But, he is a little persnickety regarding dogs. He is only 45 lbs, but, he's pretty sure he's the toughest guy around. Sometimes? He gets up in the face of a really big dog, and I worry that he will get his butt kicked. We arrived that morning? To several much bigger dogs. I was concerned. The place was clean, and well organized. There was a sofa area, with a big screen tv! Max loves to watch animal channel or cartoons, so this was a big deal! There were bunk beds, tons of toys, and tons of space inside this new looking barn type structure. There appeared to be a grooming area in the back, but I forgot to ask. Out back, there was a fenced in area for play, with other dogs out there messing about. I was gone all day. Halfway through the day, Carolann sent me a text with a pic of Max playing in the yard. She said he was fun, and very sweet, and not picking any fights at all. That was good news! I stayed away, and had my me time for almost 9 hours. When I returned? He was happy, smiling, and yes, worn out. He was not dragging me to leave and get into my car. All that is great stuff! And the price was very reasonable. I will take him back when I return to the area, which I plan to, almost every year.

We went camping on the coast of Maine in October 2020. We parked the Airstream at a campground in…read moreSearsport and went hiking every day. Our two dogs came along on the trip - a 13 yr old blind springer spaniel and a 3 yr old King Charles Cavalier that eats acorns and has had 2 surgeries to remove them from his GI tract. They could not hike with us (there are many oak trees around Penobscot Bay), so we took them to Lyndsey for 6 daytime appointments while we went to Acadia and elsewhere. We can't say enough good things about Lyndsey. She is warm and personable. She took a real interest in our dogs and their well-being. She walked them and watched out for them during their stays. She texted us during the day to update us on their condition. She was flexible when we were early or late for drop off and pick up. In short, she had empathy for our dogs and for our vacation plans. If you are headed to the Penobscot region, board your pets with Lyndsey. You will be glad you did!

We have used this kennel for several years and have only good things to say. Heidi, the owner, and…read moreSteph, an experienced staff member, are knowledgeable, patient and obviously LOVE dogs. A few years back, during a heat wave, Heidi actually bought out the local WalMart of kiddie pools for the dogs! The dogs get indoor playtime in the gym. They get outdoor playtime, too. Heidi believes a tired-from-play dog is quieter and less anxious. How right she is. It is rare that we hear repetitive or deafening barking at this kennel. At other places ,the workers often don ear protection before going back to the cages. Their groomer recently gave our 2 dogs the best clips they've ever had. It's saying something when our dogs literally leap out of the back of my car and RUN into the kennel. (We used to have to drag them into Acadia Woods Kennel....that should have been a sign :-( ) Rather than having an adjustment period when our dogs return home, they are settled and normal: it's like they never left.

I boarded my two cats in the largest cage, which is $32 dollar a day, that is what they told me…read more No one told me the price of the cage was $62 dollars a day if two cats were in one cage. Two week $896 dollars!!!!! I was already renting the cage, so I was charged for two large cages for two weeks. I called twice to talk to the owner, who was not there when I picked them up. No response, all you can leave is a message, and THEY DO NOT RETURN YOUR CALL! I feel this is bad business. BEWARE of their sneaky price gouging and not being up front with pricing. I will be spreading this news to all my friends with fur babies! Buyer Beware of these unrealistic prices!

We would pick her up and she was a "hyper-fit" but soon settled back into our home routine after reassurance, a shower and much brushing. We picked her up yesterday and she was so glad. She was also shining clean and had been brushed out , toenails trimmed (really well). She was less stressed, even when coming home into the house. She was glad to be home as always but way more comfortable with being gone. We had a repair man stop by today, and for the first time ever, she didn't run out barking and trying to scare him off, she was watchfull, but not threatening .

Something is off at this place. I took a Pomeranian there and he was put with large dogs. He had…read morerecently had a hind leg fractured, had had expensive surgery and rehab. He was on all 4 legs when I took him in. The pressure from the big dogs or the jumping around badly hurt his leg and now he is on 3 legs. I think I have to start all over again and get him to the surgeon he saw this spring. I cannot put my finger on it, but I suspect the staff has not had training or they lack questioning skills when a new dog is presented. Like a doc's office: is the dog on any medication? has the dog had surgery recently? is the dog allergic to cleaning solutions? Just basic inquiries might have helped determine the small dog should not go with the big dogs.

I absolutely LOVE the work Danielle does at the Dog House…read more Giving my little yorkie Lola a bath is not a pleasant experience; I can't even imagine how it's possible to get her to hold still long enough to trim her hair and the like. Knowing this, I didn't have high expectations for her first haircut, because I know how hard it is to handle such a tiny wiggly little puppy (who despises water and shampoo, and clearly believes the blow dryer is a torture device). Danielle has got to possess some sort of magic doggy-charming power! Lola came out looking like a million bucks, sporting the most perfect puppy cut I could have asked for. I still don't know how she got the cut so even and perfect. And, she did exactly what I asked for, which was to leave enough hair on the top of her head for the classic yorkie top knot (which she so graciously did for me before Lola left). As I live in Boston, I unfortunately can't bring Lola here as much as I'd like to, but when I do get home to visit my family I'll always be scheduling an appointment for her at the same time... I have yet to find someone who does as good of a job in the city.
