I'm so happy to review this wonderful service, and my doggie is even happier!…read more I was walking my dog 7 days a week for 5 years and then I broke my arm a month ago. UGH! I knew I had to get my Beau his exercise so I researched and found Game Time. Amy and her crew have been GREAT!! I was a bit concerned because of Beau's reactivity to other dogs, but they know how to handle it--probably better than I! Beau loves his walks with his upbeat and joyful walkers and Amy is so quick to respond to any questions I have or changes I need to make. Communication has been so easy. Such a relief!! Gets my highest recommendation.

I hate to have to leave a bad review, but I had a really horrific and stressful experience here. I…read morejust moved to Austin and was looking for a boarding sitter for work travel. Initially I had a hard time coordinating with Lisa including canceled and delayed meet and greets and not receiving email docs needed until days later. I made it work because she had great reviews. It was a holiday weekend and I had to call my vet the morning of drop-off to get vax records for one of my two dogs, which I informed Lisa of. We agreed we'd chat in the morning around 9 to finalize details once I'd gotten the docs from the vet. She proceeded to send me multiple, essay-length emails that night between 4 and 6am about how she couldn't take Desi without docs and how she felt I didn't understand, and she couldn't "trust" me. She also accused me of not finalizing drop off or pickup details, which I had already discussed with her. Her messages were erratic and repetitive, and almost aggressive and condescending, referencing "boundaries and communication" while she was the one emailing me in the middle of the night! When she could've just called me the night before if she was so concerned. Even when I sent the records to her in the morning, she continued to berate me about her intake process over text, accusing me of not sending them even when I told her I did. I have had many sitters in various cities and never experienced anything like this. Thankfully a neighbor volunteered to watch them. Needless to say, this was all incredibly stressful the day of an important work trip. I was really astounded by this level of customer service as a former small business owner, and would never want to leave my dogs with someone like this.

I really wanted to like this company's services, but I didn't find that they were detail oriented…read moreenough for my cat and I. An important message that I sent was missed, which led to my cat's waste collecting over a period of days in the tub, and with my cat eventually peeing on my bed (he is beyond hygienic and selective with where he goes to the bathroom). Even with the missed message, I would think their noses would lead them to the tub? It absolutely stank when I got home (there was also dried cat vomit in the bathroom - I just live in a studio). And I then had to spend hours washing everything on my bed, getting Urine Destroyer, etc... really not ideal after getting home from a trip. This is in addition to lights being left on, pill pocket pack not sealed after use, and litter and garbage preferences not followed. Also, I would have preferred they contacted me when my cat decided not to eat his medicine the first day, than to decide how to handle it on their own, although their idea wasn't a bad one. They are perfectly nice people but I would say that if your cat requires anything beyond basic care (throw food in a bowl and scoop box), look elsewhere. Details and communication are important. I communicated some of this to the company and they offered me a free visit in the future, which I thought was a bit presumptuous. They did play with him and actually spend time with him (instead of feeding and dashing), which is something I do appreciate.

We've been using their services for awhile actually a bit over a year. we frequently used them when…read morewe went to vacations to pet sit our cat. We have one cat who we love dearly, and one visit they completely left our cat endangered and the owner of this company (which says a lot about the company itself) took ZERO accountability, not only that we found our account inactivated by them which means they are refusing us service after a mistake they made- and we can no longer even contact them. They left our Patio balcony door- we live on the third floor in an apartment WIDE open with our cat who can clearly open the screen door that was slightly open. That is SO dangerous. We have a ragdoll who don't have much reflexes and he could fall and die from such a height, or even escape or jump out and seriously injure himself. They left the door open and left the keys inside with no way to get back in while we were on vacation. Then we got one text saying they left this door open and we were shocked when we checked our pet camera. This is ABSOLUTELY unacceptable. The only apology we got from this horrendous accident was "i apologize." She didn't call once, and if we hadn't seen this text message promptly i feel as though she wouldn't even have cared and went on their day. DO NOT TRUST YOUR BELOVED PET WITH THESE PEOPLE. You've been warned!!! This was over memorial day weekend and nobody was even in the leasing office to help which is super scary. Bad experience overall from a pet sitting company we've been trusting for awhile now which is so disappointing. I can see now they don't care about pets.

Monday through Friday they come over to our apartment while my fiance and I are at work to take they boys out on a walk and train them. We have seen huge improvements in the past few months since we began services with them. Not only do they take the time walk and train our pups, they also leave us a report on how they did daily in a green folder they provide. Overall I could not be happier. Our lease is up in November and we will be sure to move somewhere in their service area as we want to continue to use them!

We consider Christina a true blessing to our family. Her love for our pets mixed with her dependability, knowledge, high ethics, and professionalism has created a special bond that we hope will continue for many years to come. Finding Christina has eased our anxiety about using traditional kennels for our boarding needs. Our dogs have far less anxiety, as well as enjoy staying in the comfort of their own home. Sometimes we've used her for the normal pet sitting with visits throughout the day, but prefer her overnight care to ensure our pets are safe and sound throughout the night. Again, we have greatly enjoyed the service and will continue to use Paw Prints for all our pet needs!

If my dogs weren't already used to their walker, I'd leave. Changes as of late have made this…read moreservice less than what it once was. No longer send email updates on walks. They no longer send photos to us as proof of walk and validation our dogs are happy. Rather than send photos to the owners, they take photos which are relayed back to corporate. I'm to believe this change is somehow beneficial to me? They have stated they no longer have the capacity to manually relay photos to clients, but ARE able to manually relay photos to corporation. A tad counterintuitive and certainly not focused on customer. They've also stated having a lock box at my house makes me more secure because they no longer hold onto keys. Sure, unless someone takes the box, their employees access my house after hours, etc...It's the same situation as before except more people have access to my keys than before. OH, and every update they give us online are EXACTLY the same day after day after day. Clearly, my dogs do not pee and poop the same number of times weeks in a row. They continue to insist clients love all their changes and fail to acknowledge any decrease in service as a result. It's "my perception," which clearly doesn't matter and is dismissed as a minority view rather than at all validated. What was once a good business has taken a hit. UPDATE: NO phone calls. No responses from the Dog Butlers. Having now talked to friends, found out they've dropped Austin Dog Butler.

Their service is extremely efficient and the care the give your animal is top-quality. When you sign up,their team makes an initial visit for your dog to become acquainted with their new walker. Halfway through the year, the individual walking my dog changed and the process went very smoothly (the old walker even introduced the new walker to my dog so he would have a familiar face for the first introduction). I could not be more pleased with the service from Austin Dog Butler.

4 YEAR UPDATE: These guys are so great. Deanna is ridiculously and awesomely accommodating and…read morereally took a ton of time to revisit with my boy (and my new girl!) when I moved to a different location and needed a new sitter/walker. She really let's me talk as much as I need to feel better that all bases are covered (even when I know I talk way too much). Deanna is very concerned over her clients satisfaction and the happiness of our furry children. My new sitter is Nicky and so far I'm really happy with her. She saw my dogs on time, sends me photos, texts me about them and even grabbed my trash for me. She accommodates any silly or piddly request of mine with no problem. THANK YOU! :) I have not tried their boarding/overnight services yet but I can confidently say their walking and playtime visits have always been great. Deanna and Brian have even covered for their sitters on the extremely rare occasion an emergency happens and the sitter can't show so that I am NEVER left high and dry. I can't appreciate that enough! Call these guys. They are great. They will find a sitter you are happy with and make sure you are comfortable (because let's face it these are our kids with 4 legs).

Leigh was A-Mazing! In the past, we boarded our dogs and were a bit hesitant to use an at-home dog…read moresitting service. The thought of having a stranger in our home while we weren't there was a hurdle for us. When Leigh came for the preliminary visit, we instantly knew that having her watch our fur babies was a great choice. They liked her immediately, which does not always happen, and my husband and I knew that our dogs would be much happier in their own home under her care. Near the end of the meet and greet, she asked if we would like her to take out the trash, water the plants, or pick up the mail! Honestly, I was floored! Not only did the standard and even holiday price cover both dogs, was less expensive than boarding, saved us a trip to drop them off and pick them up, but she was also offering additional services. Oh, and I certainly did NOT miss that kennel smell on the dogs when we returned home. Each visit we received an update on how our dogs were doing along with pictures of their smiling faces, which we shared with our family while we were visiting. Leigh was always on time, extremely professional and I would highly recommend using FETCH! Pet to anyone needing someone to watch over their pets.

Sit means Zap! If I could leave negative stars, I would! I…read moreenrolled my puppy in the 3day camp and by the end of the day she was confused, anxious, disoriented and visually shaken. I still regret it a few years later. She was being buzzed for behaviors she didn't understand. It was punishment rather than training. The trainers drank the kool-aid and are inexperienced, The group classes were an absolute mess. Owners were confused and just zapped away without proper training and guidance, I pulled my dog out immediately. If you truly love your dog, and want to learn proper communication, consider positive reinforcement. The only situation I 'maybe' consider this is a pup with aggressive behavior. Otherwise, I would NEVER recommend this type of training. NEVER.

The owner does need to be diligent with taking their dog to the trainings (we kind of fell off at the end but it was okay) but as long as you stick with it, your dog will learn new skills and will be better behaved than before. We can literally walk our dog without a leash now, I never thought that would be possible. She will sit in her place when people come over and we are always getting compliments on how good she is. We can do things in the front yard and have her stay in the garage and she won't run after other dogs that walk by or other other people or children. She has learned to stay in her place for as long as we need her to be. It's funny because she was a really wild dog before and now that she's trained everybody loves her. overall the training here was worth it and we are really happy that we did it!
