To be honest, a lot of the magic is in the client wrangling. The product isn't so much "pet care" as "confidence that your pets are being thoughtfully and attentively cared for by someone that appreciates all their wonderful qualities." There's inherently a certain artifice to the detailed communication, the (high-quality!) photos of gamboling cats, and the kind observations. But boy, I ate it up, and I imagine most other people with pets would too. It's incredibly comforting to know that your animals are in good hands.

We've hired 4 Paws on and off for 4-5 years for our wheaten terrier, Daphne. Xandra has always been…read morean excellent communicator and a prompt scheduler. The caregivers have always been wonderful, especially more recently when we needed 3 walks in a day during our wedding. We needed someone trustworthy so we wouldn't have to worry about whether there was an issue on a day when neither of us would be available in case of an emergency. Everything went smoothly and Daphne was happy as she could be to have walkers and friends visiting her throughout the day. The update reports and photos are also nice for peace of mind. We wouldn't hire anyone else for dog walks or daytime care. They're excellent and reliable.

Also I love that it is independent and family owned and run. Sarah is the best! Also the one negative review isn't fair AT ALL as they clearly specialize in small dogs only. I don't recall weight size limit (just ask them!) but my Maximo is accepted at 20 pounds. Also they do require a day trial test to assess if it's a good fit... BECAUSE THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE HERE!!!!

I am very picky about who I trust Dahlia's well being with and she couldn't be in better and more caring hands than Lacey. She is very experienced and really tailor's her approach to the needs of each dog she walks and cares for. Dahlia is reactive on leash to other dogs and reacts to cats and also has a lot of fears and anxiety but her confidence has grown and she really looks forward to her solo outings with Lacey. There are so many words I would use to describe Lacey: professional, kind, dedicated, caring, patient, thoughtful, creative, resourceful, dependable, and most of all trustworthy.

Trustworthy, knowledgeable and compassionate are a few words to describe this team. Kristin - the owner - is gifted with animals, she truly cares and gets to know them. She is observant and has made an effort to patiently work with my pup's less desirable traits. After only a few weeks in her care he was noticeably calmer around other dogs and she shared her techniques with me, even offering to join me on a walk to demonstrate. In addition to offering reliable - and reasonably priced! - walk or vacation care, Dog Star has been a resource for recommendations on all kinds of pet-related situations. Kristin saw us through the loss of one beloved dog with grace and understanding, I don't think we could have done it without her. The whole team seems to genuinely love their work and their work loves them right back, with slobbery kisses!

The owner of Lucky Paws, Susan, called me back quickly and said that while she was already booked, she would help me try to find a replacement.

Despite the fact that I wasn't yet a customer, and that Susan was already booked, she went above and beyond to make sure I had someone to care for my pup.
