In my experience her passion for doing the right thing in the many social -causes she supports is one of the few things that comes close to her heart and skill with Dogs (and all your little creatures, for that matter). She has YEARS of experience and is hands down the first call I would make in West Seattle for any care I may need for my amazing 8 month old Viszla-family member, Peter Parker!

We hired Lucky Pawz for overnight care for our dog and cat over a holiday weekend and she did a great job. The house was just as we left it and maybe even cleaner, and most importantly the animals were happy, healthy and well fed. I'd definitely recommend Lucky Pawz! We will certainly be back again.

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!!!!

Each time we travel, they care for our three cats, Max, Earl, and Sherman, and we always return to healthy, relaxed, and very happy kitties. Kirsten's attention to detail is outstanding. She keeps their food and water fresh, replaces the Litter Robot liners, takes out the garbage, and tidies up little messes so everything looks great when we get back. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing that not only are our pets in loving hands but our home is also being looked after. It is obvious Kirsten truly cares about animals and our cats clearly feel comfortable with her care. Coming home to calm, content cats after a trip is priceless.

Xandra at Four Paws did drop-in visits for me during a four-day weekend to care for two cats. It…read morewas a great experience and the cats were relaxed and happy when I returned. 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.

She spent a LONG time with me (and I felt bad immediately after) for my consultation. Think, an hour. The kitty (Mushy!) came out after about 45 minutes of hiding and probably only because I was there so Mushy felt safe. There was a few sniffs, no successful pets from Brittney, and a good bit of cowering and sidling by me from Mushy. Fast forward to Brittney's cat sitting visits. On the THIRD VISIT (and I do TWICE DAILY visits due to raw pet food, so only a DAY AND A HALF), Mushy came out of her own volition! She was tempted out with treats (thank goodness she's a treataholic), but for her to come out when I'm not there is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Brittney has managed to befriend my SUPER DUPER SHY KITTY in just a day and a half and I'm absolutely FLOORED. Mushy is now coming to meet Brittney in the living room with no treat tempting required! One day, Mushy even met Brittney at the door one day! My cat's going to forget who I am when I get home if she's this happy with her sitter! ;) Brittney also knows the trials and tribulations of a traveler with pets. She knows that I'm a worrier and even sends me pictures of my Mushy from EACH VISIT so I know that 1) Mushy is being taken care of and 2) Mushy is happy (most important). I know Brittney has bonded with Mushy so I'm absolutely relieved to have found such a GREAT cat sitter (who lives BLOCKS away from me!) who takes such phenomenal care of my kitty cat. I know that going out of town is always stressful for pet owners, but I can now travel with peace of mind because I know Brittney is doing a fantastic job. :3 Nothing beats coming home to a happy kitty!!! MEOW! :3

She also minds the house: -You can be reassured your plants will live. Mine did. Despite my best efforts to kill them myself, she helped them survive until I got back. -She takes in the mail -She can turn lights off & on as you request for when she is not at the house -She lets you know if anything is amiss In all, I love & appreciate how much Sue truly CARES for the pets she watches. It is very reassuring to a pet parent while away!
