We've been using Love Those Paws since 2015 to watch our cockatiels when we go on vacation. It is much less expensive than boarding them at the vet and less stressful for the animals. The sitters vary but all are enthusiastic based on the reports they leave. After every visit the sitter leaves a note of when they came and left and what they did. They also usually text us an update and a picture of our birds. We come back to a stack of reports. The sitter stays a while after the food, water, and paper are changed to make sure the birds aren't acting weird, and I hear that some singing goes on. We've never had a problem and have be accommodated at very short notice when we want to go away for the weekend. I highly recommend this company. 1/27/20 Update: Just used them again during a ten day trip to Hawaii. I'm pretty sure our birds are in love with Alex, who came for most oF the visits. Now they are just stuck with us. As always, a great experience and we love being able to travel without any worries. read more

Love Those Paws was great from the moment I messaged them for a quote until I returned from vacation. Stewart guided me through setting up a time to go over all the particulars. Despite me typing up a whole instruction sheet, he insisted on walking through again just to be sure (which is very reassuring). The actual pet sitting was spectacular. The pet sitter who was assigned was Kim. She spent plenty of time with the cats and made sure they were well cared for while I was away. The visit reports they leave are really cute as well. Could not have gone smoother! I'd also like to add that they were available with very short notice (3 other pet sitting companies were unable to handle our request). Also want to add that Stewart (when he came for the home visit) was wearing a mask and gloves to protect against COVID (a welcome sight). Pet owners would should have their minds at ease if they select Love Those Paws. If I go on vacation again (few and far between these days) I would definitely use them again! read more

They were not able to take on new clients for training at the moment, but the lady I spoke with took the time to give me some tips over the phone. I recommend them for all for services. They truly care about the well fare of the animals. read more

Love Those Paws has been a great service.They have taken care of my dogs at a very reasonable price and they always leave a note letting you know what activities they performed on that day. I would recommend them to anybody that needs a dog walked. read more

These people are bold. This could be why the rest of their Yelp reviews are five stars. Just got an email from the business owner, which seemed to be attempting to guilt me into editing my review: "Our company provides a livelihood for more than twenty individuals and their families. We would really appreciate it if you would reconsider the review of us as a company." read more

Nothing but good things to say about LTP. We lived in Columbia, MD and had a dog from 2010 to 2013 (almost 4 years that we used their services) and they were always great. Annette and Stewart are very responsive to emails with questions and got to know our dog very well. Their walkers were always on time and gave Lilu good walks. If we hadn't moved away from their service area we would still be using them read more

I have been using Love Those Paws for almost two years now. I have three dogs and one is very old. They have always been responsive and gracious. I have called them and gotten same day service which is helpful because sometimes I need someone to come at short notice. Highly recommend!! read more

I wish I could give more stars! Love Those Paws is a wonderful family-owned business that has done wonders for my pup. Stewart, Annette and their walkers treat Molly like she is a member of their family, which is something you won't find at some of those bigger companies. Every week I bring Molly to their place for daycare and they make sure that she isn't just bumming around or, worse yet, kept in a kennel - they walk the dogs upwards of three miles and let them play all day! By the time Molly gets home, she's dog tired. They are super understanding about the chaos of life as well. When I was really sick and called Annette at 10pm to have someone help me take Molly out, she personally showed up within a half hour. I have never experienced that level of concern from any other company. One thing to mention is that because they are a family company, they can only accommodate so many dogs - they individually vet every dog for personality and aggression, they don't have walkers leave the Elkridge/Columbia area and they sometimes have to turn people away. In my opinion, it has made them a better company and it certainly makes their daycare a much more positive atmosphere. So if you get turned away, don't get discouraged. See if they'll add you to a waiting list - it's worth the wait! read more

I've been using Love Those Paws for two years- daily when my younger dog was a puppy, and occasionally now. It's so nice to know that if I want to go out to dinner or something after work, I can schedule them to come in, and then not have to feel guilty. The dogs are noticeably calmer when Love Those Paws comes. Stuart is super prompt about calling back to confirm appointments, and keeping track of whether or not I want the dogs fed. I also love the notes the walkers leave about what they did with the dogs. read more

They have always come through for us when in a pinch and very happy with their service!

I contacted Love Those Paws at a stressful time in life. My father had fallen ill and was unable to walk his beloved dog. I was in a hurry to find a solution, otherwise I would have to board the dog which would further upset my Dad. Within 5 minutes of contacting Love Those Paws I received a call from one of the owners, Stewart, who made arrangements to come meet my Dad and his dog the very next morning. By the following day they had him on their schedule for regular walks. They've now been walking the dog for several days, and I have nothing but positive things to say. His dog is definitely getting a good work out and enjoys his time with the Love Those Paws staff. I'd give Love Those Paws 5 stars not only for their dog walking services, but also for their compassion and totally willingness to accommodate us quickly during a time of need. Would highly recommend--you won't regret contacting them! read more

We have been with Stewart & Annette for almost 2 years and they are by far the best dog walking and doggy daycare providers we have ever worked with. The dog walkers are punctual, courteous, and trustworthy. I never have to worry that my dog won't be taken care of. They really have a love for animals that shows through in their commitment to providing quality care for your pet. read more

Love Those Paws is a great dog-walking service; the only reason why I am leaving them is because I am moving out of their area. However, I've been their client for almost two solid years now with regular walks for my dog Ben. There has never been a time when Annette and Stewart could not accommodate my schedule and/or emergency visits, including during the holiday season. My dog enjoys all of their walkers, they leave nice descriptive notes about the walks, the prices are reasonable, and I have never had a cancellation ever. They have even called me up during snow storms to see if I needed a walker. I am going to miss them, and I wish them the best. I highly recommend them! read more

We used Love Those Paws for 2 years when we lived in Elkridge. The owners were very attentive and communication was fast and easy. The walkers that came always did a great job and wrote notes on how the pet was after every walk. We had a camera for our security system and it confirmed they stuck to their 30minute commitment, sometimes they stayed even longer, which we appreciated! We highly recommend and trust them with our pets. read more

We've been using this service for 5 years. Stewart and his team are truly wonderful. Reliable, caring, responsive and professional!!!

We have been calling on Love Those Paws for about a year to take care of our cats and just love the service they provide. They have great sitters that show a lot of care and attention to our little babies. One of my cats has a health condition, needing medication daily and all the sitters have been very capable of administering the medication and taking care of her. And they leave notes at the end so you know how they've been behaving which is a really nice touch. Unfortunately, we're now moving out of town to San Fran and the cats will miss their favorite visitors. Highly recommended to anyone in the area. read more

My husband and I have used Love Those Paws for our beloved Maggie for about 2 years now! We have been incredibly blessed by their service! They're incredibly responsive and easy to schedule with by email- even with short notice requests! They took such wonderful care of our Maggie! The walkers were reliable and left detailed notes each day about the walk. We knew she was very well cared for. Incredibly trustworthy and wonderful people who love to serve your four-legged family members! We highly recommend to all! read more

These guys are reliable, flexible, and reasonably priced. I have hired them a number of times to feed my cats while I am out of town. They also make scheduling and visits very convenient since they have a key to the house and instructions on file. It is very reassuring to know that my kitties are in good hands when I am away. Definitely hire these guys. read more

I've been using Love Those Paws for a few years and have nothing but good things to say about Elisa and Stewart. They are very responsive, even with last minute requests, and will help with other things to care for your kitty (e.g., obtaining litter and food if needed ). Both my kitty and I love them! read more

Stewart and Annette have been fabulous additions to our family! After moving, our little guy began experiencing some separation anxiety which isn't ideal when you have to go to work! Finding Love Those Paws was a lifesaver for us. Our guy is well cared for and happily tired at the end of the day. We even had a special need for our family and Stewart and Annette worked with us to accommodate that need. We love Love Those Paws! read more

Went out of town for a week and left our 1 year old Pitt/boxer mix puppy and our 16 year old cat alone for the first time. The owner met with us and took notes on our routines and set everything up. Throughout the trip, communication was very quick and we were even able to extend our trip with no issues. When returning home, our babies acted like themselves and seemed completely content. We were left a daily message about their walks and we are totally impressed with the service given. For two people that never leave their pets alone, we could not have asked for anything more! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

Best dog walking service ever!!! Very professional, caring, and flexible management and staff. Totally satisfied.

Moving to a new home and area is always so challenging in finding new care for the most beloved members of your family. Love Those Paws was a trusted resource that we found by reading these reviews. We are so happy to have made that call a year ago. They have taken very good care of our lab and our cat when we have needed to be away and they are always so friendly and available. They leave the cutest notes to know how our pets were each day. The level of customer service is above in beyond especially when it comes to care for your pet this is the only level acceptable. We are sad to be moving again a year later as we know it will be difficult to find a service that comes close to what we received with Love Those Paws. Thank you for taking care of our pets! read more

If you're looking for a reliable dog walker who will give your pets the same level of care you would - look no further. I will not trust anyone else with my girls, this company is just the absolute best. Stewart is great and has a true passion for pups, and his team is the same! I'm so grateful to have stumbled across them, and my doggos are too! read more

I have nothing but good things to say about everyone at Love Those Paws. We've been using their services for about a year now. We have someone walk our dog many weekdays while we're away at work, and it's such a relief to know that he is able to get some love and attention while we are away. Every day when we arrive home there's a note waiting. Everyone has been very respectful of our home as well. Very very happy! read more

Can I give them 6s? It's a little nerve racking allowing people you've never met, to come in to your home when you're not there. I need not have worried! This company definitely fills a need for the traveler, but more so, my kitty children love them! Highly recommend! read more

I have never written a Yelp review, but I am writing one now because they certainly deserve a good one! I have used their service a few times now. The first couple times, the job was done without much to complain about, but obviously didn't make me wanna go out of my way to write a Yelp review since that's clearly not something I do. This last time, however, they saved the day for us! We had made a mistake and realized that we had requested service starting the day after we were gone, and our cats would have gone a whole day without being fed. However, they accommodated our last minute (literally 10pm the night before we had to leave) request and came the next day! Not only that, one of our cats had to get a medicine and the instructions for medicine and food changed a few times as we had to try different kinds for his allergy. They were so great with following all the different instructions. Our cat's ulcer was in better condition than when we left him! Cannot recommend their service enough!! read more

Seemed nice but they don't cover my area but was impressed at how quickly the took to respond.

My dog Kadon and I love LTP. They are professional, responsive and reasonably priced. They do all they can to accommodate last minute changes, even agreeing to same-day requests. I would very highly recommend them for any and all dog-sitting needs. Thank you. read more

I really enjoyed this service! I used them a couple of years ago and would use them now except I moved out of their area :(. I really liked that they made a contract with me, left reports after each session, and gave me a price ahead of time so that I could leave a check before I left for a trip. I'd highly recommend them! read more

Love Those Paws has taken care of my cats during business trips and vacations over the past five years. One could not ask for better care. They are compassionate, responsible and reliable. We are moving and I'm sorry that I won't be able to partner with them for our cat's care in the future. read more

I have been using "Love Those Paws" for at least 2 years now and I absolutely LOVE them. Traveling is no longer as stressful because I know my dogs are being taken care of by some awesome folks. I always come home to happy dogs and enjoy reading their daily report cards. Annette and the crew are always responsive to my requests (sometimes last minute) for services and really take awesome care of my doggies. Nothing but top reviews for this company!! read more

Love Those Paws does such a great job with Jetta and Hailey. They are a quirky pair of dogs and the walkers that come to the house always give them a good walk, a treat, and some love. Thank you!!! read more

We've been working with LTP for several years now and they've always taken great care of our dogs. On our last vacation we had Austin stay overnight at our house to take care of our dogs and cat and he did a great job, even weathered a big storm and 2 days without power. Definitely recommend Stewart and Annette to fellow pet owners ! read more

Flexible, trustworthy and dependable. My dogs are always well cared for and not stressed. I highly recommend this service.

New Dog Owner: I've been thrilled with the personalized attention given to my dog and to me. I've used the service once or twice a week for about 4 months. I am a first time dog owner and they have been very informative and patient with my questions. The owners of Love Those Paws have done a wonderful job reminding me that it's time to schedule walk(s) for the week. They use email for this and/or will give a gentle phone call reminder when scheduling has slipped my mind. The walkers leave personalized notes after each walk and follow directions from our intake conference to a tee. The owner came to my house to meet my dog and took copious notes on his care prior to agreeing to take my dog on as a client. I felt immediately comfortable with his knowledge and care and recommended Love Those Paws to another dog owner who was in need of care for her puppy in a very short turn around time due to circumstances beyond her control. Four paws up for this company. read more
