Jessika and Devin are extremely professional and leave detailed daily messages with photos so you always know how they are doing without worry. Our cats have gotten to know them and feel very comfortable in their care. You can tell it is a passion for both of them beyond being a business. When we first started using them many years ago, Jessika came over to talk about their services and meet our cats and we felt comfortable immediately that she was trustworthy, knowledgeable and caring. We can't recommend Thoughtful Paws more highly!

However, we did not have any such friends here, and had to look for professional sitter. Michelle was our first and only choice, and we are very happy customers! At first we were afraid that 30min-1h sittings will not be enough for cats that love human company and become sad being alone. However, there is no such problem with Michelle. When we come back after our traveling, pretty often cats do not even bother to greet us, it looks like they do not miss us at all, and that is great! :) Michelle truly cares after the pets, we are always up to date with our fury friends lives while we are away. There is no hassle to exchange keys or to get in touch with her for the upcoming visits. Highly recommend!!

I also appreciate that she occasionally emails important info about cat health as she learns new information.

Our cat loves her - Adriane comes by the apartment once a day to feed him, clean his litter and play with him, and always sends us pictures and emails to let us know he's doing okay while we're gone. Adriane's very knowledgeable about animals and has had great recommendations for any pet issues we've experienced (hair balls, wolfing down food, etc) and it's clear that she loves animals very much. Working with Adriane has been very easy - we communicate over email, she's happy to come by the apartment to pick up/drop off our keys before/after our trips, and has been available every time we've needed a cat sitter. Her daily rate is very reasonable as well! We're moving out of Cambridge in a few weeks and one of the things we'll miss the most is having Adriane to take care of our cat. It's been so nice to know that our cat is in good hands while we're away. We can't recommend her enough. Thank you Adriane!

Paws In the 'Ville is the best in the business! We've been with them since November of 2017, when…read morewe adopted our Jack Russell Terrier, Max. Jack Russells are notorious little crazed beasts, with an intense amount of energy. Having PITV as our walker has done wonders for Max. Elizabeth is his walker and is absolutely beyond phenomenal. She cares for Max as well as (or possibly better!) than we do. He's weird around other dogs, but she has worked closely with him and created an environment when he walks with ELEVEN other dogs in his group, without a hitch. Elizabeth sends us amazing pictures of Max every single time she walks him, and is excellent at communicating with us regarding his behavior (good and bad!). Paws in the 'Ville provides an absolute reliable, friendly service. We were brand-new dog owners when we started with them and Seana did everything we needed to assist us and created a huge level of trust. When we needed to switch walkers after one left PITV, Max had some issues transitioning - barking like crazy when a different walker came to get him and refusing to go with them. Seana worked closely with us until she found Elizabeth to work with Max. We felt completely supported throughout. I can honestly say that PITV is absolutely the best bang for the buck. It's beyond worth every penny we spend to know that Max is in extremely capable hands. Great communication, great community, great owner, great walkers. I can't say enough good things about this company.

They're really easy to deal with and communicate really well. Schedule changes are not a problem. We get text updates after each walk with a little feedback about Harry's development and behavior. We also get a lot of pointers regarding how to deal with certain behaviors. They're not just walking him passively, they're engaging and training him at the same time. The training we do with him is really reinforced by Jordan, Kerry and Melissa and their walks with him and his playgroup. We feel completely secure in leaving Harry with them and he really seems genuinely happy in their company. This service could not have worked out better for us. We would totally recommend these guys for anybody looking for a dog walking service.

She even brought over a sample of dry food for my picky cat baby to try and she's eating it! Shari visited at the same time each day which kept Bea in her routine, which I really appreciate. Working with Shari included a meet and greet with Bea before I left, and she was very responsible and flexible with figuring out logistics with visits, keys, etc. 10/10 would recommend if you're looking for a cat sitter in the Fenway/Back Bay/South End area.
