Often there are one to three dogs here at any one time and whenever they hear the name Liam they run to the door and greet him as a long lost friend whom they love. I have often asked at the last minute for him to get them, board them or just keep them for the day and never ever has he said NO! He is always willing to accommodate and go the extra mile even arranging for one of them to get groomed at his house while I was ill. I know the transition has been a bit chaotic but I also know my dogs have not suffered one bit and absolutely love their time with him.

I was a big fan of Grateful Dog Walkers... But the best thing about them is no longer there…read more.. Mackey Scanlan. Not only was Mackey, a consummate professional, he truly loved and cared for my pets, as though they were his own... And, he treated my home as though it were his own. Unfortunately that wasn't something that wasn't upheld by the rest of GrateDog Walkers in this area. I had serious issues with Liam SEVERAL times. I specifically told him that any new person needed to be introduced to myself and my husband, as well as our pets prior to coming into our home. This is something that we do with ALL contractors. It is an industry standard. It did not seem to be an issue when I discussed it with Liam... however, it was completely lost on him when on more than one occasion, he had somebody completely different, show up at our house at the wrong time whom we had never met! I called Liam, and I was assured that Mackey would be the person who would then come back. I actually had to contact Mackey directly to ensure that he would be there the first time this occurred. The second time this occurred, a new person showed up that I had never met, locked a cat who was on Prozac in our bedroom, who, then ripped up a bedroom carpet... Liam claimed that this was impossible, they would have never shut the door, but we were out... This is not some thing that Mackey, who was very familiar with our pets, very familiar with our home, and very familiar with our routine would have ever done. Trying to discuss the matter with Liam, he took absolutely no accountability, and actually put the blame back on me. I have had numerous issues with billing, I've had to reach out on more than one occasion because of it. It's just all very haphazard and unprofessional. It's really sad, because the place where I get my dogs groomed recommended Grateful Dog Walkers specifically because of Mackey, and I got them several new customers because of Mackey... We have all left now. What's worse is, I had actually purchased a gift card for Mackey, and when he could not come to my home, Liam had stated he would come to my home and handle my pet for me. I agreed to that. Liam actually stated that he had picked up the gift card and was going to deliver it to his employee Mackey. I checked with him on three occasions after the last pet visit, he had no clue there was a gift card, no clue of the amount or where it was purchased to. Clearly, Liam kept the gift card for himself. I have no use for such unprofessional persons, the entitlement is beyond reproach. I have a second home, and a very large upscale community, I had very strongly recommended this group, and I am now very strongly recommending to all of my friends and neighbors not to use them until they replace Management here. Smarten up folks! You let an honest, hard worker who brought in clients go to keep someone who sleeps in, doesn't return clients calls, and when they do, berates them and is insanely unprofessional. This is the absolute best example of the Peter principal that ever was! GO ELSEWHERE!! PS notice that it's Mackey's name that is complimented on other reviews... Take the hint people! either clean up your act down here, or simply keep your flagship operation in the Baltimore area

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.

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!

I had written some detailed instructions this time because of certain changes that had occurred since their last visit, and everything went smoothly and exactly as planned. To top it off, Dan actually let me know that I had overpaid them and said that he would credit my account for a future vacation - now that, my friends, is honesty. As far as I'm concerned, they can keep that money as a tip, because they surely deserve it. I am so glad that I selected Dog Day Afternoon as my pet sitting provider. As you can see by the other reviews, they're unmatched in both care and customer service.

He is thriving as a new city family dog and we have Megan to thank for most of that, continually looking out for him, updating us with photos and videos of his fun-filled days, and her extraordinary effort to adjust him to all different types of dogs and people!

I need to start with a disclaimer. Pecora pet was NOT hired because Tiffany is a good friend. I DID…read moreNOT KNOW Her when I hired them therefor this review is 100% business and has nothing to do with friendship. Our friendship came about as we hot to know each other. We bonded. That being said friendship is friendship and business is business. My good friend Tiffany Pecora and her mom Judy Baker Pecora own Pecora's Pet Care, LLC. Tiff took care of D&G while we were away. Let me tell u.. If u need pet sitting USE THEM!! Tiffany is a good friend but treated this like a job separate from our friendship. The pups stayed on schedule, had walks, lots of cuddling. I got pics & updates. She stripped my bed and put on new sheets and pillow cases and made the bed beautifully! She folded all blankets (offered to wash them all but I stopped her OCD lol!) picked up all toys and the house was SO CLEAN! It made coming home stress free. Whether u need a pet walked, let out, boarding, or overnights at ure house USE THEM!! We also used them daily the 1st year of Gia's life. Let me tell you they were saints. Gia peed in her crate almost daily. They would clean the crate, clean her then walk them both without complaint. We asked Gia be hand fed her lunch (we were teaching her to take food gently as well as practice small commands like "sit" & "stay" ) well she did that too (I have security cameras that no one can see and I saw her doing every single thing I asked of her) I felt like I hit some kind of doggy jackpot!! They are the reason I can go out late, go on vacation, know if there's an emergency they will handle it and I never have to stress! I also recommended them to my SIL. A older friend of hers was standing beside in a hospice as his wife was dying. He knew it would be a week or so and HATED leaving her bedside but had a dog at home. My SIL contacted them (Pecora) and explained his dilemma. They moved things, worked extra hours and gave the man updates on his dog so he could stay by his wife and focus on her. He later mentioned that they were a godsend. He would never have forgiven himself if he left and she passed but because of Pecora Pet that wasn't going to be a worry. I swear you will rest easy while away and when u return!

Theifs and Frauds! Stay away! Couldn't even handle a fish. No accountability. Their standard of…read moreservice is, if the animal is still alive, we did our job. We hired this company to care for our rabbit and our fish for 2 weeks. The rabbit had no water in either container when we returned, but was otherwise fine. The fish, however, was near death in murky, slimy, smelly water! (We did the biweekly water change the day before we left.) Very simple instructions were given for the fish (a beta), 3 pellets daily while we are away. While we were on vacation, the employee called saying, "The pump stopped working, the water was foggy, and the fish completely disappeared." She said she even took the items out and couldn't find the fish. Ok, very odd, but what can we do when 2000 miles away? Fast forward, we return home to find the fish apparently had made himself reappear, although pale and dying in an unfiltered tank full of rotting food. The water was so murky from rotting fish food, one could not even see the other side of the tank. 3 pellets a day for 2 weeks=42 pellets. There were LITERALLY well over one hundred pellets rotting on the bottom of the tank and stuck in the filter intake. The pump/filter was completely clogged but worked fine after I pulled all the food out. Apparently she was just haphazardly sprinkling/dumping food in the tank. Certainly not something you would expect from "professionals." We called Tiffany Pecora immediately, obviously irrited, just to be told that "accidents happen" and "tanks always get dirty when food sits in them." And the most shocking comment came in a rude voice "At least your fish isn't dead". What about the fact that there shouldn't be rotting food at the bottom if he was fed properly?! Or the fact that he was said to be missing in a two gallon tank? Anyway, Judy Pecora calls us a bit later saying that we were "lying about all of it and just trying to make money." It should be noted that our neighbor offered to look after them for free. It was never about the money, we were hoping for experience because we care about our animals. We have used services like this in the past with great results. Just stay away from these people.

And yet, they were willing to pay for a vet bill if I chose to take him to a vet. Although the groomer herself was quite upset, the owner basically told us "too bad". Not a good business practice and certainly not one to encourage referrals!
