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!

We've been using Love Those Paws since 2015 to watch our cockatiels when we go on vacation. It is…read moremuch less expensive than boarding them at the vet and less stressful for the animals. 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 have been so thankful to Dogthrive and the care they take for my pup. Chico, my dog, is my baby…read morewe don't have children so he really is my child. We took Chico here when he was a puppy to do a temperament test and he did great and came back so tired which was amazing for us! We continue to take him here and he is almost one. I can only speak to the daycare as I have not had him groomed or boarded here yet but our experience has been very pleasant so far! There are many bad reviews for dogthrive but I feel like a lot of them come from unrealistic expectations. Chico for one is an excited piddler and as he's gotten older it's gotten a lot better but there have been times he's come home smelling like urine but it's always been explained why and was usually, "A new tech walked in he got excited and peed a little then rolled over to get a belly rub and rolled in the pee before we could grab him to clean it up." This has happened at home so it wasn't just a story they were telling us. They also have explained that they tried to clean him up and sprayed him with puppy deoderizing shampoo spray which I haven't seen with other daycares do. Since he is going into a place with lots of other dogs I don't expect him to come out smelling like he just got a bath so I think some expectation management helps with that. Just recently I have been shown why I love and will continue taking him to Dog Thrive. For one we were walking around a farmers market and a person steps out of their booth and asks, is that Chico?! And at first I was confused because I didn't recognize them but Chico did and they immediately let me know they work at DogThrive and they love playing with him and how much they enjoy having him there, they proceeded to get on their hands and knees to give Chico some love. For someone in their off time to not only recognize him but go out of their way to tell me they enjoy time with him and for him to have such an amazing reaction to seeing them outside of the daycare setting shows these people really love these dogs when we aren't with them. Secondly, I had some potential plans that would require me to board Chico that weren't confirmed yet so when I dropped him off for daycare I provided food and toys just in case and explained the situation. They were communicative and very understanding that he may or may not be boarded. I didn't end up needing to board him and picked him up at the end of the day. I realized I was charged for boarding anyway which makes sense since I made the reservation and was set to board. When I called and told them of the charge they not only refunded me for the boarding but also for the day of daycare (that he did partake in). How amazing is that? I love the staff and have nothing but amazing things to say about how well Chico has been treated here! If you don't mind the occasional necessary bath from a day spent playing and having fun then this is the place for you and your pup!

This was the worst experience I have ever had with dog boarding!…read moreI signed up for the VIP service to board my dog for a few days. My dog was returned to me with a huge bloody wound on the top of her head. Nobody contacted me to tell me what happened or when.

I had to take her to the Vet and due to an infection of the wound she required a medical procedure, antibiotics, and paid medication. I will NEVER use or recommend The Pup Camp - stay away!

I LOVE that it's all women, it makes me feel 100000x more comfortable. They always go above and beyond. At least once or twice my girl has had accidents in the house (those puppy days) and they've cleaned it up! They keep a notebook at your house and you get a note each time - which is really nice to come home knowing she took care of all her business, or even if they noticed something concerning. I've even had one of the owners/managers text me immediately when they've noticed something REALLY concerning. I have a Furbo camera so I sometimes end up seeing them bringing her back into her bedroom, and it's clear they love her just as much as I do, and it's clear Annie loves them. I have sacrificed other things in my budget in order to have them come 4 times a week, and it is completely worth it for the peace of mind I get during the weekday. ADW was recommended to me, and I am SO glad. I don't think I could recommend them enough.

I…read moretravel a lot for work and they cat sit for me often, leaving notes behind about my little guy's activities. I used to be very anxious about leaving my house for extended trips but they bring in my mail and check around the house for any 'gifts' my guy has left behind. One experience comes to mind as a huge help. I was on a plane coming back from London and my kitchen ceiling started to flood. They found a bucket in the house and put it under the drips, called me, and sent a video to my phone. When I landed I was able to schedule a plumber right away to meet me at the house. By having the bucket in place they prevented untold damage to the kitchen and basement. They've been easy to schedule and work with and respond quickly to e-mails. When I come home my little dude is always happy, well fed, and has plenty of water in his dish. If I wasn't moving far away, I'd definitely continue using their service.
