She took care of our cat and dog for 5 days, and sent me updates and pictures of how my animals were doing.

I highly recommend Thrive to anyone who is looking for care for their animals.

Five Stars! I've…read morebeen sending my dog Kaya to Pacific Paw for nearly a year now, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Kaya started with some anxiety around other dogs and had a tendency to pull on the leash, but the transformation since joining Pacific Paw has been incredible. Thanks to their skilled and patient staff, Kaya's walking behavior has improved dramatically. She's now much more comfortable around other dogs, and it's been heartwarming to see her build friendships and enjoy her time out on the trails. She especially looks forward to her 2-hour walks and daycare time with her doggy pals! Every staff member at Pacific Paw is not only friendly and communicative but also impressively knowledgeable when it comes to dog behavior. You can tell they genuinely care about the dogs they work with. A special shoutout to Michelle, the owner--she's been amazing to work with. I even booked private lessons with her to learn how to walk my dogs while managing a stroller, and her guidance made a world of difference. Pacific Paw has played such a positive role in Kaya's life. She's thriving, happy, and so much more confident. I wholeheartedly recommend Pacific Paw to any dog owner looking for experienced, compassionate, and professional care for their pup. Thank you, Pacific Paw!

She came, notepad in hand, and took two pages of notes about the ins and outs of my menagerie, down to the smallest particulars. As an extra bonus, because she is a dog trainer Irene was able to work with -- and make progress with -- the new dog, so when I came home, everyone was all the better for my having gone away and leaving them in Irene's care. My animals are my family, and it's hard to leave them. However I have no qualms about leaving them in Irene's care. I can highly recommend Irene when it comes to taking care of your "pet" family.

My cats were out of food, water, had full litter boxes, and one did not receive his needed, daily medications. i have used Pleasure Point Paws before, and they did what they were supposed to - come to my house and care for my cats while i was away. i am not even interested in why they didn't show. DO NOT TRUST PLEASURE POINT PAWS TO DO WHAT THEY SAY. They failed me and my cats BIG TIME. Does anyone have a cat sitting service they can recommend? I'll NEVER use the idiots at Pleasure Point Paws ever again.

I was very pleased that she was happy to take both my dogs in for the week. I really appreciated her pick up and drop off service because it made preparing to travel much less stressful. Brittany is just as excited (if not more) to see my dogs as they are to see her. I enjoy that they get plenty of exercise and socialization when in her care. She always sends pictures and updates when I've been away. Her prices are reasonable. Brittany is friendly and professional. I have used Brittany multiple times and she is now my initial contact for taking care of my kiddos.

She has been walking our 6 yr old chocolate lab CoCo once a week for over a year now. I would do more but that's all we need right now. CoCo gets very excited when I mention Debbie's name, I usually tell her each morning she is going to see Debbie and she knows she's in for a treat. Debbie sends me pictures of CoCo on her walks which is very reassuring and nice to see in the middle of a work day.. really brightens my day to see our dog having a good time and in good company. Debbie is cautious of other dogs when on a walk with CoCo which I appreciate since CoCo is a little weary of other dogs on lash sometimes. If CoCo ever needs any special attention or anything I know I can ask Debbie and should would be more than happy to help. Also, if CoCo's walk day falls on a holiday or if CoCo is not going to be home on that day Debbie is always so kind to work with our schedule. I would recommend Debbie to anyone :)
