Very good experience with Teresa and team. We were happy to receive updates and photos of our pups while we were in a totally separate time zone. Easy to pay and enjoy the pre-visit to learn more about service and have our pups meet. And get accustomed to who was going to be taking care of them. Everything was in order and all instructions were followed. It was so much less stressful on our pets as we went away for a longer period of time to get married and did not need to be worried about What was going on back at the house knowing that we left our pups in good hands!! read more

Teresa has hands down the best dog walking business around. There's a lot of trust involved in letting someone into your home and take care of your animals and she does not disappoint. You can also tell she's invested in good software capabilities making communication and billing super easy. She is absolutely fantastic and I am so grateful for 4 Paws! read more

Teresa and her staff are absolutely at the top of their craft when it comes to pet care. They have always been consistent with the level of quality they provide. From the visit pics, to the emails, to the map of the walk and detailed report of everything that happened, they have continued to impress us. Every one of them treats our "fur babies" like one of their own. The rates are awesome. The service they provide goes so far above just boarding your pet. They come over and actually get to know your pet, play with them, spend actual time with them. With 4 Paws Walker, your pet isn't just a guest in a crate, they're a bored kid at home who's best friend just came over to play for a while. It's awesome to have someone who will take care of your pet on all these levels. read more

Teresa and her team are incredible. They are so kind and caring and treat pets like family. My dog Buddy absolutely loves Mony. He looks forward to seeing her everyday. I am so grateful to have them. Highly recommend their dog walking and overnight pet care! read more

I couldn't be more pleased with your services. Sabine is amazing with our two cats and rowdy lab puppy Luna, and you can count on our business from here on out! We especially love getting a picture of our Luna every time she is walked, and that we can call last minute (sorry!) and still count on you to be there when we need you. Also, we have only asked for a walk for Luna on several occasions to find our kitties have been fed, water changed, litter box, changed, and more. Above and beyond. We are really glad we found you. Do yourself a favor. Call Teresa with 4 Paws Walker the next time you need your babies looked after. read more

So we had already planned to use her over this Christmas weekend, due to some unforeseen issues we had to make a last min change and she was able to accommodate us. She takes fantastic care of our 3 dogs, and keeps us updated after every visit. I can not recommend this service highly enough. Plus she takes the bomb puppy pictures. We've even gotten some of the printed out and framed. read more

We have used Teresa services twice in the last two months now when we have gone out of town. Both times Moni took care of my three dogs as if they were her own, we get pictures via text after each visit and she takes the effort to spend quality time with them. I do know one thing, after we come back in town they look for Moni for a few days. I am so glad we found this service as my wife really doesn't trust just anyone with her "gang". The only negative I can think of is I don't completely understand the pricing as we usually have them come 2-3 times a day. Overall I really don't think it's expensive so really don't worry about it. Trusting people with your dogs and in your home is so important . read more

Teresa came highly recommended and she did not disappoint. We were out of town for a week and simply didn't like the idea of boarding our dog for that long - or at all. Teresa came by several times a day to care for our cat and dog. She emailed us detailed reports each time. These reports were very detailed and included pictures!!!! It is clear that she genuinely cares about our "furkids" as if they were her own. Thank you Teresa!!!! You rock! Phoebe and Shadow miss you already! read more

See all

They did an awesome job with my dog ! I've trusted them two years in a row and it's very difficult to leave the dog at holiday season, but Teresa and her crew are phenomenal! They are professional, they care about the pet and make sure to provide a report and photo Daily,which we greatly appreciate! I would highly recommend them!!! read more

I used 4 Paws for, well, I can't remember how long! Teresa and her staff (particularly Sabine!) have been a part of my pups life for so long they feel like family. After several bad experiences with non-professional dog-walkers (neighborhood kids, neighbors, etc), I found Teresa on Yelp. What a difference! She truly understands the vendor/client relationship and realizes that great customer service is the way to get and keep clients. She and her staff are caring and professional. And very flexible. They understand that work schedules change at, sometimes, short notice and were always available. Unlike some companies, Teresa never made me jump through a bunch of hoops or pay a fine if I had to add or cancel a walk on short notice. I have to travel for business and felt extremely comfortable leaving my dogs at home and have Teresa and her staff pop in 4 times a day to walk and feed them. Teresa always returned my phone calls (*if* I had to leave a message, which was rare!) or emails quickly. If my regular walker couldn't make a walk, Teresa did it herself! She NEVER canceled a walk because no one was available to do it. She treats her clients with respect and clearly loves dogs. I recently moved from her service area and am so sad that my pups won't have 4 Paws Walkers anymore! As I am now discovering as I search for a new company, 4 Paws Walkers is a truly unique service in this area: one of quality and respect and love. I will truly miss that! read more

We never had a back up plan for our dog in case we went out of town and our very reliable friend couldn't dog sit so we went on the hunt. The moment I spoke with Teresa I knew she was what we were looking for for our princess. She kept daily logs (written, text , and email) to up date me on the days events. She even paid a courtesy visit to make sure she was ok and not lonely. She has the extra special touch you can trust. I will definitely use her in the future. read more

Teresa is wonderful! I called her a few days before I needed her for a long weekend. She came out to my home the next day to meet the boys and they absolutely loved her. She leaves detailed notes of their time spent together for when you get home. If your dogs are your children and you worry about them like your kids, then i highly recommend you get in touch w Teresa to help. read more

We have been using Teresa for several years and couldn't be happier! Teresa and her staff are reliable and have been flexible and seem to care about my dogs as much as they do their own. I especially love getting pictures and updates about how the dogs are doing. read more

They care about you pet well being and willing to work with your schedule. Love love love my dog walker.

Love Teresa and the staff! I have been working with her for years now and she cared for my previous English Bulldog as well as my current one. They ALWAYS go above and beyond! read more

I found Teresa via Care.com and boy, I am glad I did! I am a crazy dog mama. By crazy, I mean that I treat my dogs like they are my kids. My standards are impossibly high when it comes to the care of my babies and they just want someone who will pet them.. that all being said, I wish I could box up Teresa and take her with me for our relocation. I love, love, LOVE her and am not above trying to bribe her to visit us. She took excellent care of not only my girls, but me too! I bragged to all of my friends about what a dynamo dog sitter/walker I'd found - no exaggeration! Teresa sent regular emails, texts, pictures and even left daily notes regarding my dogs' activities, whether it was just a feed and walk or a whole week in my home. She let my dogs sleep in bed with her (my older pup woke her up to have a staring contest in the middle of the night, which still makes me laugh.. my girl can be a weird, but sweet, old coot). My younger pup has a little separation anxiety and would sulk when I pulled out a suitcase. Once she figured out that the suitcases meant Teresa was coming to stay with her, I think she was actually giddy to see me start packing and the pouting upon my return completely stopped. I once had a flight delay in coming home, which was no problem. I had an unexpected late work day where I emailed Teresa eleventh hour and asked her if she could feed/walk my girls, which was no problem. I contacted her just days before a business trip to ask her if she could help me out, which was - AGAIN - no problem. Teresa took excellent care of my home and actually vacuumed and cleaned during my trips away. Embarrassingly for me, I came home to a cleaner house than I left. I cannot gush enough about the impeccable customer service and care that my girls and I received with every single interaction and I recommend 4 Paws with every fiber of my being! read more

We adopted our dog back in July and since he is a little over a year old, we wanted to make sure he was walked during the day when we are at work. I heard through another company about Teresa and found out she works in our area. The first time she met our dog, he barked at her for an hour and half! We felt so bad and were a little worried what would happen when she came to walk him the first day. She went home and wrote us an email an hour later seeing if she could come back over the next day. She wanted to bring her dog and for us to meet outside. That meeting could not have gone better! We met outside and our dog fell in love with her dog. He was a little hesitant but eventually let Teresa walk him. We went in and out of the house a few times to get him used to her. For the first week, Teresa brought her dog with her. We did not mind at all, as long as our dog wasn't afraid of her. Teresa's dog was a WONDERFUL distraction! Since that first week, our dog LOVES to see Teresa when she comes to let him out. She puts him on a long leash and lets him run wild in the field. Since he is still in his puppy stage, he loves running and she calls him her "Wild Man"! It is so nice to know our dog is in excellent hands while we are at work. She writes what he did and how the day went every time she walks him in a log book. It's funny to read some of the things that he does while on his walks. Teresa also takes pictures and sends them to us occasionally. She takes some of the best pictures of our dog and can really catch his true personality! We have never had an issue with Teresa and she is totally reliable. We would recommend Teresa to anyone. read more
