We've been using this service for 2-3 years now - both for dog walking and for boarding. We've had…read moreno issues and our bulldog loves having someone come over and take her for a short walk in the middle of the day when we're both at the office. They will leave a note about what your dog did and it's very easy to cancel walks if you end up staying home. Our dog is super friendly and sweet but not the best mannered - meaning she jumps and pulls sometimes on the leash and they've never mentioned it to us as a problem! When on vacation, we typically have one of the sitters (we use the same one typically who lives down the street), come pick up the dog and her food and she stays at their house. She is definitely well loved and taken care of and they've been great to communicate with. My only comment is that it can be expensive when you have the dog staying in one of their sitters' homes but our dog is part of the family and hates being home alone. So for us, it's worth it but others might find them coming to your house a little easier on the wallet. They also offer a service where you can have them take your dog to their grooming salon for a bath, nails, ears cleaned, etc. Very convenient for those of us who are too busy to do it ourselves!

We've been using Tails on Trails for the past 9 months and our experience has been absolutely…read moregreat. Our dog is quite nervous and anxious, but all of the walkers truly understand dogs and have been incredibly patient with her as she develops trust with new people. They knew how to make her comfortable. The benefit of using a company instead of Rover is that when one of the dog walkers moved on to a new career, the company had a new employee ready to take over so I didn't need to spend time searching for a replacement. Tails on Trails is very reliable and they take great care of the dogs. I'm not sure why some of these older reviews are negative, but that certainly hasn't been our experience at all.

I…read morewould have nail trims and sanitary trims a couple of times a year. all of a sudden when I went to make an appointment, they insisted on scheduling the works starting with a bath. I explained that we are on a fixed income, and I can't afford all of that on a regular basis. so, they basically told me if I don't get the full service on a regular basis they can't schedule my cat anymore. I find this unacceptable. As a general rule, cats don't need baths unless they soil themselves or get into something messy. I have had her belly and underside shaved if she had some mats, that was fine. I am very disappointed with PP and their treatment to a customer who had been coming to them. I think their main concern is making money.

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!

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.

I will not bring my dog, Delta, here again. A few reasons why so that you can consider them before…read moreboarding your pets: Picked up Delta at 1645 2/22/22 1. My dog was either not fed or not given the food I provided. When I arrived, I was given two bags of food back. I provided enough for 2 feedings each day during his four day stay. Unfortunately, Raymond, the manager did not know why this was the case. 2. No one called me to report blood bowel movements, nor was he given timely potty breaks. I noticed that Delta's anus was really dark, almost dirty looking. As soon as we got outside, he urinated for so long that I could tell he hadn't been in hours. The bowel movement that followed was runny and bloody. I realized the "dirty" look was due to dried blood. Delta strained to poop three times after that and blood poured and pooled from his butt. I asked Raymond had this been reported to him. He said no. 3. The workers did not notify Raymond that Delta was pooping blood, nor did they notify me so that I could get him medical treatment in a timely fashion. Raymond called to inquire, and the workers said they forgot to tell Raymond. Delta had a blood bowel movement that morning, evidently hadn't been out to relieve himself, therefore they didn't witness any more instances. 4. In the same breath as the apology from the workers, they told me my dog was being a "bad boy", trying "attack" other dogs. The two women working that morning called me directly to apologize for forgetting to report the issue. They shared that they had a dog that required special attention due to wounds and old age, had day care pets coming in, and that Delta was being a "bad boy" trying to "attack" and bite the other dogs from the other side of the cage. Getting him back inside and away from the other pets was really difficult, they said...So that's how they forgot to notify report a potential health concern - it was a lot going on to include my dog's behavior. I simply thanked them for the call, but my question is...My dog is pooping blood at this point. Not bloody stool, but actual blood, and he's trying to "attack"...why wasn't I called? If they couldn't care about his health, I'd think they'd care about the safety and peace of the other pets. My dog is not aggressive. He acts no different from other dogs who are playful and want to "get at" other dogs. But he is a one year old pit bull. This is the one opinion I'll provide in all of this: If he wasn't a pit bull, his behavior wouldn't be mistaken for "attacking" other dogs. Pit bulls can't jump, bark, or chase other animals without being judged harshly. Delta will pull me in an attempt to approach other dogs...to play. If he was being aggressive, something was wrong, but he shouldn't be blamed for any of this.
