I used Kara's Pet Care for a week when my husband and I went on vacation. I had never used a dog…read moresitter before and was a little anxious about leaving my 12 yr old and 10 yr old golden retrievers with someone whom I nor my dogs knew. Before the visit, Kara the owner came to my house to meet me and my dogs and totally put me at ease. Then I met Morgan who dog sat for us. She was so professional, kind and loved the dogs and the dogs loved her. Throughout my trip Morgan would send me pictures of my dogs walking, playing, etc. We are going on another trip and have booked Kara's Pet Care again. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants their fur children loved and cared for while away!

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.

Looks like I am the first to review this wonderful business -- which I highly recommend! KT's was…read morevery thorough in their evaluation of our pets' needs during our initial meet and greet. I was concerned that our dog might give them difficulty as he can be aloof with strangers, but he LOVED the sitter and she was great with him. Our cats loved her as well! KT's went above and beyond with photo updates of our pets. We came home to a happy, healthy crew. I will absolutely be using KT's again for our petsitting needs and would not hesitate to reach out to them for other services as well.

If you're at your wits end with your dog's bad behavior, you've come to the right place. I can't…read moresay enough good things about Rob and his Dogs Listen To Us training program. When I contacted him about our 7 month old beagle Bullet, I was at the end of my rope! He had numerous behavioral issues from the time we brought him home at 8 weeks old. He displayed resource aggression over objects, never listened to anything we said, wouldn't come when called, pulled terribly when walking on leash, constantly walked the floors, slept very little, howled loudly and continuously whenever we put him in his crate, etc. In short, he was completely wild, uncontrollable, and was making our lives miserable every day. By the time I contacted Rob, we had already tried having a trainer come to our house for weekly sessions and completed PetSmart's puppy and intermediate training classes with little to no success. When I spoke with Rob on the phone, it was the first time since the week we brought Bullet home that I truly had hope that he wasn't a lost cause. Rob explained his board and train program and the techniques he uses thoroughly, and I was immediately impressed and felt confident in his knowledge and abilities. Even more importantly, he told me that he definitely believed he could help. When we hung up, I actually began to believe that Bullet's bad behavior could change, and it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. During the training process, Rob brought Bullet home for weekly sessions with us so we could see what he had learned and participate in his training and learn along with him. Every session, Bullet's behavior got better and better, and we were always very pleased with the progress he had made. Those sessions were invaluable to us because of how much we learned about how to maintain his training after he came home. Rob even kept him for two extra weeks at no additional charge because he didn't feel Bullet was quite where he needed to be with his training and wanted more time to get it right. Bullet has been home almost two weeks now, and we are absolutely amazed at how different he is! He listens to and obeys commands, he comes whenever we call him, he heels very well on walks and doesn't pull on leash, he sleeps during the day like he should, sleeps in his crate all night and never whines or howls, and is just an all around good boy. He's so much more content, relaxed, and obedient than he was before Rob's program. Bullet is honestly like a totally different dog. Now we truly enjoy being with him instead of feeling constantly irritated and on edge all the time. Bullet has gone from being a source of constant frustration to being a source of constant joy and companionship. Rob, we can't thank you and Dogs Listen To Us enough for how much you've helped Bullet to become the good dog we sincerely hoped he could be.

Rob has improved the quality of our daily lives with our two dogs more than we can perhaps…read morecommunicate in words. After being hesitant about the investment for private lessons, we quickly realized what a tremendous value it was. We told everyone we knew after that first session that we would have paid the full fee if that first session was the only session. Our golden retriever, Huck, was quickly renamed by our friends and family as "good boy Huck" for his rapid transformation. We can now take him into just about any situation with a relaxed mindset and confidence that we have control over him on, or off the leash. Rob's no-nonsense approach put us at ease and simply worked. Our private lessons took place at our house, a couple of other locations "in the world" and ended with dog introductions at his house with some of the board and train dogs. Rob worked to deliver on every single thing we told him we were concerned about when we spoke with him before we started lessons, sometimes remembering concerns that we had long forgotten. We're now taking what we learned in our sessions with Huck to train our now 4-month-old puppy in the same way. We recommend Rob to everyone we possibly can, and will continue doing so every chance we get. Thanks, Rob!

You purchased an 8-Week training package on 3/14/24 and did not attend your first lesson until 5/29/24 (76 days later). In the contract that you signed and requested a copy of, you acknowledged that all training services expire after 180 days, as our training packages typically take anywhere from 1-2 months to complete, depending on which package you purchase. During the first lesson, your dog Memphis attempted to bite up the leash at the trainer, and unfortunately bit his own tongue. This injury was not caused by anything that the trainer did. Your second lesson was not had until 6/14/24, 16 days after the previous lesson. During this lesson, your dog broke its nail. Your dogs nails were extremely unkept and long, and this is overall an extremely common injury for dogs with long nails. We have never hidden the fact that we utilize balanced training methods, which is the reason why you came to us in the first place. Memphis was extremely aggressive and was attacking the roommate in the bus you were living in, which is the reason you sought out our services. $2,500.00 was a large investment that you made and didn't prioritize. You had our contact information and did not once express any concern until yesterday, 104 days later. We wish you and Memphis the best and hopefully Memphis' aggression resolves.

More Photo 1 in review by Lauren Ayers Book online Elizabeth Nagine 2 reviews After having a consultation I was advised to do a 2500.00 training plan wich consisted of 8 hour long training sessions. My first session was extremely hard to sit through but even harder on my dog. My dog wich is a 5 yr old husky mix mouth was bleeding and spraying everywhere. The trainer informed me that it was a superficial injury and was nothing to worry about. My dog continued to struggle with the method until the hour was up and I brought him home. My dog didn't eat and struggled to drink water for 4 days afterwards. Brought him to the vet and he was checked out and sent home. I then waited a few weeks before going back but i really wanted to trust the process so i tried again, THIS time the session was basically the same method but this time my dog was even more terrified. He ended up getting his nail ripped off and again bleeding and I was again told that it was a common thing and not to be alarmed. My dog ended up limping for the next week with no improvement so again we went to.the vet where he showed to have an infection in his toe from the nail being removed. He ended up on 3 rounds of antibiotics which took two months to complete. This is when my vet advised me to seek out other training methods & that this was clearly not beneficial nor healthy. When I reached out to green mountain k9 to ask for a partial refund since I paid 2500.00 for two hours of inhumane training and a slew of vet bills they informed me that not only am I not getting any sort of refund but I have also forfeited my other 6 lessons (that they NOW say could have tried a different method with) with them due to the time on the agreement had lapsed. So, that's what my dog and I got from green mountain k9 for 2500.00. This isn't the last they'll see or hear of me. & I do not recommend a company that pushes you to have no choice besides to either risk the health of your dog or lose the extreme amount of money that you gave in trust. The ethics here is so wrong. I do not recommend this company.
