Okay it is our high five years anniversary-- and am on a whole new set of pets than the original crew (Poncho, Mabel and Rudy.) They do a great job, are very dependable, and love my bad dogs. I am so grateful to have them in my life, I don't know how to manage my pack without them. Nicole, Mark and Sam are grrrreat!!! read more

Paw Benders Dog Walking - Poncho and Rudy, Paw Benders clients. - Dog Walkers Near Me

I'm embarrassed I haven't reviewed Nicole, yet! She's been handling the furry babies (chihuahuas) for something like a year, now. I text her in the morning when I know I can't be home right after work and she or her employee have been available every time. It's so handy. She'll give a report of how the walk went, including if they went potty. Sometimes she'll send pictures. One time, it was cold and rainy outside (the furry babies hate that!) and she let them in the yard to go potty, then just hung out with them, giving them loves and cuddles. And she's so affordable. And she didn't bat an eyelash when we asked that they not be walked with larger dogs, lest they be crushed. read more

I love the care and professionalism they take, not only of my pups but to make sure I have peace of mind that my fur kids will be well cared for while I'm gone. There's nothing greater than peace of mind when it comes to those you care about. read more

Nicole, at Paw Benders is fantastic with my dog Radley! I was new to town and really nervous about leaving him with someone new since he had always been watched by family and friends where I lived before. I was thrilled that Nicole sent wonderful text updates through out my trip, and left great detailed reports about my dog's activities that weekend. I have used Paw Benders to watch Radley for three long weekends recently, and have come home to a happy tired (from lots of attention) pup every time! I whole-heartedly recommend Paw Benders and Nicole! read more

Paw Benders is the best! I work an unusual schedule and can always count on Nicole. Not only is she very flexible, she is great with my dog Beaux! It is very apparent that Nicole cares very much for every animal that she cares for, not only does she give Beaux the outside time that he needs while I'm at work, she also gives him lots of belly rubs :) Beaux and I are lucky to have her! read more

Nicole & Team have been fantastic with my pups! I highly recommend. Willing to help out and change schedule at a moments notice, and my dogs enjoy the walk! read more

While I won't have a chance to work with Nicole due to our location, I still think she deserves an excellent review for the way she conducts herself. She called me back on a holiday and even recommended other agencies based on my location. So sorry I will miss the chance to work with someone to helpful! read more

Like the other legitimate reviewers of Paw Benders, I also am very grateful to have Nicole taking care of our 2 year old Frenchie, Cayman (that's him in the picture). When we got our puppy, we needed to find a reliable walker for him and Nicole came highly recommended. For the last two years, Cayman has gone walking with Nicole and her dogs twice a week and he also stays at her house when we go out of town. A couple of weeks ago we went on vacation for 8 days so Cayman went to "Summer Camp" at Nicole's house. Cayman loves Nicole and going over there and staying with his buddies, Smoots and Dexter. Nicole has always been very flexible and responsive to us and has even driven through the snow and ice to pick up Cayman and take him to her house to spend the night when we got stuck in the mountains and could not get back home. It is very reassuring to know that we have someone we can rely on and a place that Cayman loves to go to. I highly recommend Paw Benders and I know Cayman will have fun staying at Nicole's next weekend when we are leaving town. read more

I don't write Yelp reviews but am doing so just to recommend Nicole and her team at Paw Benders. Not only are they incredibly professional, prompt, and responsive, it's clear they truly care about taking care of my dog. I can't recommend this business enough. Fortunate to have found Nicole! read more

I can not imagine a better and more loving group of people to take care of our dog, Ori! Ori is not always an easy dog to take care of. We got him from a rescue in April and he had heartworms, which meant that we had very particular, and frequently changing, exercise requirements. He was also very reactive towards other dogs, which meant that it wasn't always easy to walk him with or near other puppies. Nicole and the rest of the Paw Benders crew were extremely accommodating to Ori's needs and completely open to our constantly changing requests when they walked him every day while we were at work. My boyfriend and I also have work schedules that change frequently, and Nicole and her team were always able to accommodate them, no matter how last minute we asked for a schedule change. But more than their awesome flexibility and attentiveness to detail, what really makes Paw Benders amazing is how clear it is that they love our dog as much as we do. Nicole would send frequent text-message updates and adorable pictures, and all of her communications put a smile on my face. She answered every text we sent extremely promptly, with tons of detail, and with a great attitude. She even sent us a Christmas card with a cute picture of Ori on it! She approaches her work with a diligence and customer-service ethic that makes it clear that she loves what she is doing and the dogs she gets to spend her days with. We are moving out of her service area now, and I wish we could take her with us! read more

Nicole and her team would walk our dog 2 to 3 times per week for almost a year. They were always extremely accommodating to our schedule, had great communication, and most importantly took amazing care of our pup!! We can't thank them enough. If you live in their area of service we highly recommend Paw Benders!! read more

Nicole was absolutely wonderful with my kitty Waffles! While I was away, she sent me pics of Waffles playing and kept the litter box tidy. It was such a relief knowing Waffles was in good hands! Absolutely fantastic, professional service - I look forward to working with Paw Benders again. read more

I came across a Pawbenders flier in my neighborhood at a time that I desperately needed help. My husband and I decided to adopt a puppy and also have an older dog and a kitty. We both work full time and, although I have a wonderful employer that allows me to bring my baby dog to work, I realized that I still needed help a few times a week. I was a little nervous because I had never used a service like this, but I read a few of the reviews on Yelp and decided to call Nicole. I am so grateful for Pawbenders. The prices are reasonable, they are flexible and most importantly, Nicole and Marna are so kind to my animals and I can tell the animals enjoy their visits. When I come home on the days that Nicole and/or Marna visit, the critters are content and I can tell that they had a good midday break. Nicole always leaves "report cards" that tell me what they did with the animals and if there are any issues, like tummy troubles. I just about died laughing when I came home right before Christmas and found a photo holiday card from Nicole that had pictures of each animal wearing a little Santa hat. She also left treats for the animals and some chocolate for us humans. If you need help with your critters, this is the place to call! read more

Nicole is great! I'm so glad I found her to take care of my dog. She comes once a day to walk my pup while I'm at work. It's very clear that she cares about the pets she walks as much as the owners do. I'm a control freak about the care of my puppy and don't trust just anyone - but I completely trust Nicole! Her prices are so reasonable and she always leaves the cutest report cards AND texts me pictures/updates. I highly recommend Paw Benders! read more

Nicole watched our three, rather energetic and emotionally needy, dogs while we were on vacation for a week. She was very patient and gave them lots of love and attention while we were away. Play, tug, walks, brushing and affection... while I'm sure they missed us, they were happy to have Nicole's attention. A few mishaps (disemboweled toys, counter surfing, etc) were calmly handled, and we greatly appreciated the cleanup and care of the house as well. We trust Nicole, and would recommend her to anyone for dog walks during the day or sitting while you're out of town. read more

Nicole has been walking our dog Louie for over a year and we could not be more happy. She's professional, prompt, reliable, trustworthy, and most important she loves animals. I receive text updates from Nicole informing me what adventures and friends our dog made on his walk- it's so comforting knowing your dog is in safe hands. Nicole and her team are amazing! Highly highly recommend for your furry friends!! read more

Most of the reviews so far have been about dogs. In our case, Nicole has taken care of our cat while we've been out of town with house visits, and has done a great job. So, you can trust her with cat sitting, too. She's extremely professional and highly reliable. I have used the services of several cat sitters in several cities, and Nicole is among the very best. I'd have no hesitation in recommending her to watch your pets. read more

Nicole and Paw Benders have been so great for me and my dog! As this is my first dog from a shelter, Nicole has been so patient with helping to socialize my shy dog, and my dog has really become a much more relaxed and happy. Nicole has also been really helpful as my dog has recently been on some medication, Nicole and her team were great with administering the medication after her walks, and would even adjust their schedule to accommodate the medication schedule. Way above and beyond what I would have expected from dog walking! I could not recommend her and her team highly enough, it's obvious how much she and her team love dogs. They are all wonderful with my dog and it's very comforting to know that my dog is always in good hands. Paw Benders is the best!! read more

I am so grateful to have been introduced to Nicole from paw Benders. Nicole has been visiting my puppy Lucy daily for a walk and some love since Lucy was only a few months old. I return home to a report card noting what happened during the visit and some funny stories. Nicole has also stayed with Lucy while I have been out of town on several occasions. I come home to a happy well cared for puppy and a home that was cleaner than I left it! I completely trust Nicole with my girl and my home. read more

Well it was time to give the old review an update! In the time since my last review, I've moved, put one dog down and adopted the most bat shit crazy dog ever. I ended up hiring Nicole and her walkers 3 days a week for my new pup Reese. To say Reese is a handful might just be the understatement of the century! Despite doggie classes, Reese can be a total spaz to walk on a leash. She pulls at every squirrel, rabbit, cat, bug and occasional car. Nicole and her team follows my instructions great and have been taking great care of Reese for months now. I trust them all wholeheartedly and appreciate all the things they do for me - helping me feed her dinner and turning on air conditioning and fans in my apartment when it's hot out. Her team comes at non traditional hours to help me out with my inconvenient work schedule. I get daily texts regarding how Reese did that day. Nicole and her team are fantastic. Thanks for all your help! read more
