Oh I really appreciate Darren with Pawfessionals. He has watched my cats on several occasions ranging from 3 - 30 days. Every time has been positive and the house is fresh smelling/clean when I return. He occasionally will text me an update on how they are doing, he makes sure that I return when I say that I will be back and their payment process is very easy. One time I was out of town and needed a document to be sent overnight to me and he was willing to dig through my files and take it to the FedEx for me. I so appreciate him. Pawfessionals makes it easy to leave and feel comfortable that my pets are in good care.

I have been using Pawfessionals for the past year. Darren has been very dependable, flexible and reasonably priced. He spends the night at my house when I am out of town so that I don't have to board my animals. He even gives my cat medications. I also use him to take my dogs out during the day if I'm not available. I have sometimes called Darren on short notice and he has always taken care of me. I travel easier knowing I can call on him.

I definitely recommend Darren at Pawfessionals! Whenever I have to go out of town, I feel confident and assured that my cat is getting the best care!

Darren has taken excellent care of my cat, Charlie, when I have been out of town on three different occasions. Prior to the first time I worked with Pawfessionals, Darren came for a home visit to meet Charlie. Darren was very thorough during the visit to make sure he knew all information about Charlie's routine. During the time that I have been away, Darren sends updates to me to let me know how things are going, which I always appreciate!

They are super professional and go above and beyond. They have even had to take one of my dogs to the vet. There service allows me to leave town and not worry about my house or my dogs even if I am out of the country.

GREAT! Always frustrated by coming home to an annoyed and pouting cat who had been ignored or neglected by well intended neighbors and friends that I recruited to "check in on her". I finally decided I needed a professional! After contacting several pet sitters that either failed to respond at all or seemed totally underwhelmed with my request for 3 days of cat sitting, I emailed Pawfessionals around 8:30 one evening to see if they could help me. Much to my surprise and delight Darren responded almost immediately via email saying they would be happy to pet sit for me, attached a link for more information about the company and said he would call me the next morning to set up a time for a first meeting. The following morning Darren called, was extremely pleasant and very professional, scheduled a free consulttaion to meet my Darby and pick up keys. Following our conversation I received an email directing me to fill out a pet profile which covers absolutely everything! I was beyond impressed! Since this was my first time using a pet sitter a few days before my trip I was wondering if I should call or email to confirm my upcoming dates when all of a sudden I received an email from Pawfessionals noting the dates scheduled, the sitters name and that visits would be made in the mornings. Today I returned to one very happy and extremely relaxed cat that acted as if she hadn't even noticed I had been missing not to mention absent during a huge thunderstorm! Thank you Darren!! You are wonderful! BTW... as a quick footnote to the next question on this review form, 'would you like to share with your Band of Neighbors?' Although I am not sure how this information is tabulated, I contacted 1 pet sitter specifically because their info showed '10 people near you' have used this company. Wow, Imagine my surprise when they responded that they did not service my area! I'm happy to share my great experience with those 'near me' but I think I'll start placing more weight on great reviews going forward!

Top Notch dog walkers! We are so pleased with the service we received and continue to receive. They are on time, consistent, reliable, and very professional. They are definitely "dog people" and I say this because of the positive ways my dogs respond to them. They are easy-going and we feel extremely comfortable with them in our home and taking care of pups. Our dogs are well-exercised (and I'm thrilled to report that they've both lost weight - yay!). In the several months that we've used this company - there's been no drama - I say this because I've used other dog walking services and the opposite was true. Expensive but well worth the money.

Darren and Rob walk our two labs - 4 times a week (an hour for each walk). We started using them in December 2014 and we are still using them. The walks are not only for stimulation but also for weight loss.

Morgan and Bentley are a true bright spot in our day — they are always so happy to hit the pavement :-) I think we've really made progress getting their weight down. And they are such good dogs with great personalities! Truly a pleasure to walk. Thanks for your kind words!04/02/2015

One of their dog walkers, Mary, is absolutely wonderful. She has been walking our special needs, senior dog for over a year and we couldn't be more pleased. Mary is one of the family. Our dog loves her--we love her. She spends time giving love, is mindful of the surroundings when taking the dog out, and leaves a note of how the walk went. Mary is truly a blessing! The company is well-run and responsive. Walk prices are reasonable (about the same as day care). When we had snow early in March, both the company and Mary contacted me proactively about getting to the apartment. They also willing issued a credit when Mary couldn't get there due to weather. I appreciate The Pawfessionals-Dallas and Mary so much. Thank you for caring for my dog so well!

Love these guys! Mary usually walks my girls and they just love her. Darren is also great and we are comfortable with anyone they would send over. They are all dog lovers too so are patient and great with pets.

They are superb! When I moved into my house, Pawfessionals noticed the need to set up the electronic cat door for me during a visit and did it at no extra charge! The cat areas are always impeccably cleaned and all refuse is taken away. Also, I am called if there are any issues with my house or the cats. I am EXTREMELY pleased with this service! Pawfessionals also provides a lockout service should I ever be locked out of my house. I have never used it, but it is a nice bonus. Rates just went up to $19/visit. This is still much lower than prevailing rates in Dallas.
Description of Work
Pawfessionals visits my cats twice a day for 30 minutes each visit. I engage Pawfessionals every six weeks. Fresh wet food is served, the litter box is cleaned, and the cats are engaged in petting, etc.
