Paws on Pine saved our lives. We brought our baby home at 9 weeks and being first time pawrents, everything had to be perfect. We knew we had some pretty high demands but we were really concerned about our baby's health. Heather was so understanding and respectful of our needs. Sarah has been our pet specialist for 9 months now and we couldn't have asked for more. She shows our baby so much love, she's reliable, she sends us the cutest pictures and in the beginning she made sure to stick to all of the commands we were training our pup. I don't know what we would do without Paws on Pine. Our friends recently got a puppy and they are now happy customers too! read more

One of my biggest concerns about moving to the city was finding someone to watch my (spoiled) cat. Heather and her team of professionals have put me at ease. They are so organized, accommodating and professional. I can go away with not a worry now. Even if the regular sitter is not avail I know I will get the same service with whoever she assigns. Paying with Chase Quikpay is so easy and I love getting the texts with pictures after each visit! Thanks Heather!! read more

Paws on Pine is the best! The prices are reasonable, and the service is top notch. Heather is extremely professional and always answers communications immediately. You can book her several weeks out, and you'll receive a confirmation message/reminder a few days before. She and her team always send a text with the details of the walk along with pictures taken during. We and our two wirehair dachshunds feel very fortunate to have Paws on Pine available to us in the Financial District! read more

I feel so lucky that I found Paws on Pine!!! I initially searched the internet for some sort of cat watching service for when I go out of town and I stumbled on to Paws on Pine. The reviews said it all so I immediately reached out to Heather. Heather got back to me right away so she could set up a "consult" and come over to my apartment to meet Dolce. I warned her that Dolce is extremely skittish and hides when she hears any new voice, the doorbell, etc. It is just me and dolce in the apartment so she usually does not warm up to anyone -- even my family and friends. When Heather and I walked in the door, Dolce of course hid. Heather started asking me questions about her food, favorite toys, litter box, personality, etc. and was taking notes on her phone the whole time so I knew she really cared and would remember everything. Less than 5 minutes into our discussion, Dolce came out from under the bed and slowly approached Heather and rubbed up against her. I was shocked.. she never does this! She clearly sensed an animal lover and the smell of other dogs & cats probably didn't hurt. Long story short... Heather and Paws on Pine are awesome. They have totally put me at ease while traveling and I feel confident Dolce has the best care. I usually arrange to have Heather visit twice a day when I am out of town and she always shows up during the time frame I request and sends me updates and pictures during every visit! The pictures are great because it confirms how happy Dolce is! Thank you Paws on Pine, you are a godsend and leave me with no worries when I go out of town! read more

Adore Heather and the Paws on Pine staff. She's incredibly attentive, easy to reach, and always understanding of last minute schedule changes. Her staff are all wonderful and while I only use them for dog walking, I would certainly trust with overnight dog sitting. Thank you Heather and Andrew! read more

Paws on Pine is as good as it gets. They are awesome, caring, and easy to work with. I changed the schedule 3 times in one week from my vacation spot and they were on it. I don't know who loves them more, me or my dogs. I just got back to some mighty happy K-9s. Big thank you to the entire team, sweet, caring and thoughtful.....Raphael Santore read more

Paws on pine has been reliable, responsive and exactly what I needed in a dog walking service from day one. I am an ER nurse and often work random shifts, days, overnights. I work different days of the week and Heather and her team are always great at accommodating us. My emails are always answered very promptly. My French bulldog Leo is turning 2 on Thursday and has had the pleasure of meeting many of their pet specialists. At first we met everyone before their first walk with Leo as this was my first time hiring a service and that was easily accommodated and everyone was great. I now know that whoever is sent will be vetted well by Heather as she takes time in picking her team. Leo especially loves Sarah who he sees the most, he will drag me to her when we see her on the street. The best part? Pictures of little Leos face during his walk to break up my always crazy stressful days. read more

Paws On Pine is such a wonderful, caring, sweet and accommodating dog walking company. Coming from a bad last experience with a previous dog walker, I thought I would be more nervous to try another company, but from the instant I met the owner Heather, I knew my dog Berkley would be in great hands. Berkley has a wonderful dog walker, Nick, who sends me the best pictures of their walks every day. I probably look forward to her walks more than she does because I can't wait for the pictures :) They are also super accommodating with my ever changing schedule and last minute requests! It's such a wonderful feeling to know that my fur child is in safe, loyal and trustworthy hands every day. I recommend Paws On Pine to anyone and everyone in the area!! read more

Heather is amazing. I never worry for a second about my dog Gertie when she is in her care. She has a wonderful environment filled with love and is very trustworthy. I count on her for all my pet sitting needs!! read more

Heather is wonderful!! I actually found her on Yelp when I first moved to NYC and needed occasional cat-sitting. I have been so happy with the service each and every time, and am always confident my kitties are getting the same level of care while I am away. Love the super fast response time and photo updates. My cats had some health issues earlier this year and Heather was great with taking care of all their special instructions too. I highly recommend Paws on Pine. read more

Paws on Pine is an excellent service. Heather is wonderful, loving, and so careful! I doubt I will ever use another pet sitting service. Not only is she great to my cat, but she helped me take care of a couple of other things I needed sorted out in my apartment when I was gone for about a month, that had nothing to do with petsitting! Also, this is the FIRST yelp review I have ever posted, and I am happy to do it for her! She is always quick to respond to calls and texts, sends tons of pictures, keeps your home clean, and best of all, my cat doesn't seem to have missed me at all (in a good way) when she had looked after her. read more

I'm so happy I discovered Paws On Pine! Heather is amazing with my two kitties and I don't worry at all when I go away. She takes her time and truly cares for all her critters. With updates and pictures after each visit I love the peace of mind that Paws On Pine delivers. I highly recommend using Paws on Pine for any pet sitting needs you may need. read more

Heather and crew have done and awesome job taking care of out two dogs (and two cats) when we are out of town or call for a last minute walk. We definitely recommend Paws on Pine to pet owners of NYC read more

I've been working with the team at Paws on Pine for over 3 years now, and I only have great things to say about Heather and her team of fabulous walkers. They are always very friendly, professional, and most importantly amazing with my dogs. Heather does a great job choosing walkers that you can really trust with your dogs. I highly recommend Paws on Pine to anyone looking for dog walkers/sitters in the area. They are the best in the area! read more

We have been using Paws on Pine for almost 2 years, since moving to Financial District area. We have two senior cats, one of which is tripod. Mike has been helping us during our trips and we cannot thank him enough. It's making travel so much easier when you do not have to worry about your pets at home. Mike visits them, feeds them, plays with them and sends us lots of communication. Our cats are not big fans of people they do not know, but they now know Mike and feel safe and calm with him. We had used few different services prior and none can compare with Paws on Pine. THANK YOU HEATHER AND MIKE for all your help! We are greatly appreciate it. read more

Paws on Pine have been taking care of our dog for the past couple of years and they are fantastic. Heather is always quick to respond and is very helpful and accommodating. The team at Paws on Pine have provided daily walks for our dog as well as overnight stays. They are so caring and attentive and I always know that Scout is in great hands! read more

My Frenchie Willie has stayed with Heather at Paws on Pine twice now. Heather is professional, friendly and LOVES dogs. Her prices are reasonable and fair. She offers pick up and drop off service and even has dog seat belts in the back seat. She is thorough and when I was away, I received several texts with photos throughout the day, so I knew Willie was safe and happy. To have that peace of mind is priceless. I would def recommend Heather for walking, sitting services! read more

When we go on vacation we know that our puppy is on vacation too and quite honestly probably likes being w/ Heather more than us haha.. Heather is one of the most loyal, giving, caring, awesome people I've ever met. She truly cares for all animals. I would 100% recommend her!!!I If you leave your pet with her you can rest assure they will be in a safe, fun and happy place w/ Heather and her sweet dogs. read more

Highly recommended. Can be out of town and know our cat is safe and well looked after. Its always nice to get the daily text slide show.

We've been using Paws on Pine for about 6 months now and they have been GREAT! Our kitty takes medication 2x a day so his care isn't super easy and I get stressed about it. I know I can trust the crew and Paws on Pine and they have always been there on time, taken care of pills and everything else. We've had Sarah, Sam and Heather all come in and each time they send a nice status update with a bunch of pics. I love that. It means everything to be able to trust the crew. A great operation all around, highly recommend. We won't use anyone else! read more

Paws on Pine is really wonderful! Super trust worthy and easy to work with. 2 very important qualities in my book. Can always count on them in an emergency or a scheduled booking. They (especially Sam) take care of my pup (Harlem) with love and care. I would, and have, recommended them to anyone who needs a dog walker. read more

We just moved to the financial district and I was nervous about how our 5 yo Yorkie would adjust. Xavi has been absolutely great with her. Very communicative and sends daily pictures as well which brightens my work day! Heather was also a breeze to work with and get everything set up. Would definitely recommend paws on pine! read more

Heather is amazing. She is very responsive to requests and almost always has arrangements made instantly. At least on two previous occasions I've had to travel for work on short notice, and Heather was on hand to make arrangements for my two little cats to be taken care of. Katie F. is great too, she gives my cats lots of attention, sends photos (with fun captions to boot!), makes sure the litter box is clean and all in all makes sure that the cats are very well fed and watered. I recommend Paws on Pine to all pet owners downtown. read more

I travel a lot and need someone I can trust and rely on to take care of my furry family. I only use Paws on Pine. They treat my kitties as part of their own family so I know that they are completely loved and cared for when I go away and this is no easy feat with my two fur balls. I get daily pics twice a day along with updates so I know that they are doing well. Heather, the owner, and all of her pet specialists are animal lovers and most have their own pets so they understand how important it is to all of us pet owners that our furry family be as comfortable as possible when we can't take them with us. I will only use Paws on Pine for as long as I am a pet owner, and that will be for forever. read more

Heather and her team are wonderful. Flexible, accommodating, reasonably priced. Most importantly, I trust them with my dog. I love getting text re-caps and photos of her walk so that I know everything she did. Highly recommend Paws on Pine! read more

We had to relocate to the Wall Street area during renovations on our Upper West Side apartment, so we needed a new dog walker for about 3 months. Paws on Pine was everything we could have asked for our 1 yo Sheltie. read more

I wish I could give Paws on Pine 10 stars. We used paws on pine for my puppy Josie's "puppy visits" and dog walks once Josie was vaccinated. For the past 8 months, Heather and Caitlin have taken amazing care of Josie. Receiving daily texts and pictures from Caitlin about her walks with Josie never failed to brighten my day! Caitlin always went above and beyond to make sure Josie was well taken care of, from refilling her water to cleaning up any messes she made inside. It was obvious how much Caitlin cared about Josie, and I knew I was leaving Jo in good hands with her. Heather also truly cares about the dogs. She checked up on Josie when she was sick, and was always willing to give us guidance on dog ownership. Heather was always very accommodating, and helped us schedule additional walks for Josie on numerous occasions. Heather's service and team are incredible; we are so spoiled from our experience with Paws on Pine. The only drawback is that Paws on Pine hasn't made it to Brooklyn (yet??) ! read more

The absolute B-E-S-T!!!!! Melissa and Xavi have been walking, loving and dog-sitting my 2.5 year old Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Murphy since he was 10 wks old. They have loved him like their own pup and I know that he loves them like family too. I know that Murphy loves them too because if we ever run into them on the street, Murphy goes crazy with uncontrollable excitement. They always send lots of pictures after each visit with a full report on their visit. Getting their texts and pics are a highlight in my day and gives me such peace of mind. I know that they will take the best care of him. I trust Paws implicitly and know that my Murphy is getting the best loving care with every visit. I can't say enough about them and 1,000,000% recommend them! I've referred a number of people in my building to Paws on Pine and they (and their dogs) love them as much as Murphy and I do. read more

The team at Paws on Pine can be trusted to go well-beyond the 'tangibles' of what most other pet care services provide. Chief among the 'intangibles' for me is, does the care giver take every opportunity to bond with your pet and create a lasting relationship? The curator, Heather, takes her craft seriously and insists on making the experience as great as it could be. Going on vacation guilt-free relative to how your pet is doing in your absence is such a relief, it actually enhances your vacation. For your cat, or dog, or urban alligator, Paws on Pine is the only number you'll need. read more

Heather & her Paws on Pine team are absolutely incredible, they truly are animal lovers who treat your pets as if they were their own. We have worked with them for over 2 years consistently. We started using Paws on Pine when our puppy was 10 weeks old for puppy play dates before he had his shots to go outside. Then we graduated to walks and have used all of the services at this point (walks, play dates for a few hours, overnight stays). Every aspect in working with Paws on Pine has been extremely professional, personal and so easy. Heather is super responsive and easy to communicate with, scheduling walks for the week have been so simple and we've never run into an issue with not having coverage. We love the fact that our dog walks with the walker alone, he has formed a very special bond with our walker (Jennifer) - she is like a second puppy mom to him. We get a text every day with photos and updates on the walk. At times when our dog was acting a bit off Jennifer even notified us right away so we knew the situation. That level of love and care that Paws on Pine has for the pets is truly amazing. We feel 100% comfortable and safe whenever our dog is with Paws on Pine and we have had zero issues or complaints across our 2+ years with the team. There aren't enough amazing things to say about Paws on Pine - we highly recommend them for any dog walking or sitting needs, you'll be very happy and your pet will be even happier. read more

My pup and I have moved around enough to know finding a great and reliable dog walker is clutch!! We have been so lucky to have found this with Heather and her Paws on Pine staff. Heather is extremely responsive to our needs and requests making working with her a delight! Caitlin has been our walker the entire time (about a year) and she provides such incredible love and care to my dog, Roxie. Roxie is more excited to see her than me :) I've worked with some unreliable walkers in the past, which made things stressful when I wasn't sure they got my messages for a last minute walk, etc. I never have worried once with Heather and Caitlin. I can't recommend Paws on Pine enough, you'll be so glad to work with them! read more

I almost don't want to leave this review, so that everyone is always free to watch my dog! I have left Sugar with Heather since the company started years ago, and I always feel very comfortable. She is such a sweet person and my dog, who normally hates being without me, really seems to enjoy it there. Recently, I had a last minute trip and needed dog walking, and it was no problem. I have dealt with other companies before who didn't show or didn't send updates, and I never had those issues with PoP. I'm always updated with photos of how Sugar is doing. The company is extremely professional and well managed. Thanks Heather + team! read more

LOVE Paws on Pine. Autumn is amazing with our two pups. They absolutely love her. Heather, the owner, is very accommodating with last minute schedule changes and is easy to reach. read more

We were recommended to Paws On Pine by our dog trainer, and we couldn't be happier with them. They really came to the rescue when we found ourselves 3 days away from Christmas travel without a sitter for our two Jack Russell Terriers. The POP owner, Heather, arranged for us to meet a sitter that same day who had just become available due to a cancellation. He was professional, courteous and a great communicator -- we received several texts and photos each day with updates. We came home to two happy dogs, and our apartment was immaculate. It has been a pleasure working with Heather and her team -- we enthusiastically recommend Paws On Pine. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! Can we give more than the 5 stars that yelp allows??? Heather is beyond easy to work with, professional, sweet and a true animal lover. You can absolutely tell she is doing this for the love of animals and their owners. She is super flexible, and i never ever have to worry again. I know if there is last minute change.... Paws on Pine to the rescue! Now on the Max's walker Mike.... OMD- Max and Mike could not be any cuter together; Max totally adores him. We have run into Mike a few times in the neighborhood and Max goes BALLISTIC!!! The boys have 2 walks a day (that works great!) and after each walk I get an update and pictures. I really look forward to the pictures, as do my co-workers, the bright spot of the day for all of us. It's clear they love each other and are having a blast. So a great businesswoman and a super fab walker and no more worrying...What more can you really ask for???!!! read more

The absolute best in pet sitting! They've been looking after my cat for 5 years every time I leave the city.. super professional, responsive, caring and dedicated. They truly love animals and take several photos each visit with an update. I couldn't ask for a better pet sitting experience and recommend them to everyone with a pet! Ten stars. read more

Paws on Pine did an excellent job of taking care of my cats while I was out of town. They kept me updated with daily photos and notes so I felt at ease the entire time I was away. And Heather made the whole process incredibly easy. I'm a fan. read more

Love Paws on Pine. Heather is great, and helped facilitate a walker for my dogs. Sam is amazing, my dogs love him. I have one dog that can be a little indifferent towards people, but she loved Sam immediately. My dogs were very well taken care of while I was away for the week. The doormen in my building commented on how great he was with the dogs when I returned. I will def continue to use Paws on Pine and Sam for any future travel plans I have. read more

While I haven't actually used the service yet, Heather has been incredibly responsive. When I first reached out interested in a cat sitter, Heather called me right away to talk to me about her company and answer any questions I had. Whenever I've emailed Heather to ask questions, she's responded within a couple hours. I look forward to using Paws on Pine when we go away on our next vacation! read more

We had such an amazing experience with both Sam and Heather from Paws on Pine; I honestly can't say enough good things about them. Sam was absolutely wonderful to our sweet dog Bella. He texted us adorable picture updates and "potty reports" every day, and I could always tell that Bella was happy Sam came over. Heather was really responsive and flexible with our changing weekly schedule, and payment was super easy. We are moving out of FiDi to Brooklyn, but I truly wish we could take Sam and Paws on Pine with us to our new home. Bella is definitely going to miss him :) If you ever expand to Carroll Gardens, we'll be your first customer! read more
