Paws and Claws Pet Service

This is a great service, and I've hired them several times to look after our two cats. I really appreciate that aside from the basics (feeding, litter box), our cats are petted and played with, and that we're sent pictures of the cats from each visit.

Paws and Claws were excellent during our vacation. They took care of our cat while we were on vacation. They visited our home before we left to meet the cat and discuss the details of their services and our special requests. They were very thorough and noted emergency and veterinarian contacts. Their services included: --feeding, playing (and cleaning up after) kitty twice daily --watering plants --retrieving mail and newspapers They provided daily email updates and photos via their smart phone app. The service was excellent and we definitely recommend Paws and Claws.

Wonderful Experience! Based on Angie's List recommendations we hired Nicole twice in as many months. After our initial meeting, she chose Kellie as the sitter for our two cats. Both engagements covered vacations far from home. I was nervous about how our older, temperamental cat would handle it. Kelli was amazing - just the right balance of concern and understanding. Their online tools make staying in-touch super simple from (literally) the other side of the planet. Don't hesitate to entrust your fur-babies and home to Paws and Claws!

The animals were well cared for and the staff send pictures and emails/text to let you know things have been done.

We used paws and claws to watch our cat Hazel while we were gone for two weeks. They were so nice and setting up an appointment with them was easy. We were very nervous to leave our cat since she's our baby, but they made it easy. Amalia was so nice and sent us the best updates full of pictures of our cat Hazel. She even bought us a new cat scoop since ours broke right before we left! They truly go above and beyond for our pets.I highly recommend their service and will use them anytime I go out of town.

Paws and Claws always does a wonderful job taking care of my pets while I am away from home. My animals are always healthy when I return. I especially like their updates on how the ate and what was done that day. I also like that the same person provides the service each time. Even my super-shy cat puts in an appearance now. I would definitely recommend this service.

they were great

Great service, got pictures & updates everyday. Amalia went above & beyond as one dog got sick. She took her to vet and even cleaned the messes in the house.

Excellent Service

Excellent. The cat is happy, brushed, played with, fed (of course!) and has his litter cleaned every visit. I get a string of great pictures texted to me. They have never missed an appointment.

Perfect. Pet sitter stopped by first to meet the dogs & was vet attentive to their personalities. They now walk my dogs 2x weekly.

We have been using Paws and Claws for about five years. Not only does Hilary send pictures and updates every time she visits our cats, I trust her to water plants, take in the mail, and bring garbage and recycling barrels out to the curb. It's lovely that I don't have to worry about these things while preparing for a trip.

All of the employee's have been fantastic! I've met several of them and they all really care about the job they are doing. My dog loves them all. They are always very responsive to schedule requests, you can keep an on-going dialog through the website and pay them easily online. They communicate very well, and send pix of your pet and fill out a visit sheet online each time they visit. They are very reasonably priced and you get good value ! I would highly recommend them.

Excellent. So detailed!

Awesome. Took great care of our pet's needs.

It always goes well. I especially love the messages and photos after each visit so I know our little guys are taken care of.

Fantastic...Very professional, very friendly! Formed an immediate bond with our pup!

Fabulous. Our cat was not doing well at first (he is a lap cat who, because I am retired, usually gets a lot of attention). Hillary contacted us with updates and we agreed that we should have her visit twice a day instead of just once. Things went much better after that. Hillary was fantastic about keeping us informed about how he was doing and tackling any stains he made because he was (at first) suffering from separation anxiety.

Paws and Claws provided great peace of mind while we were away. We got regular photos of the animals' antics, and updates on their status as well as anything going on at or around the house Nicole thought we should know about. Nicole herself is friendly, attentive, and professional - and you can tell she really loves animals! I would absolutely recommend calling on Paws and Claws Pet Service for pet sitting services.

Nicole, the owner of Paws and Claws has been like part of the family.  I have been using her dog walking services for almost four years and my dog spends weekends and vacation weeks at Nicole's house w/ her kids, husband, and other dogs.  In the almost four years, Mabel's dog-walker has NEVER cancelled.  In all of this time Mabel has only had two dog-walkers and has built long term relationships with both.  All of her staff go above and beyond, they bring in my garbage bins, check the mail and monitor the house.  I get daily updates on Mabel's walks.
Mabel's walker asked if she could take Mabel on play-dates in the neighborhood with another dog!  She is willing to come on weekends if I have all-day plans.
Nicole has responded to every request that I have made.  She is ver professional and really cares about all of the dogs.  Just when I begin to miss Mabel, if she is at Nicole's for the weekend, I get a text update!
I went to pick Mabel up last Sunday after she spent the weekend at Nicole's, and for the first time ever, Mabel may have preferred to stay with them than come with me.  

I have recommended Paws and Claws to several friends, and they all had the same experience.  You can't go wrong!  Very reliable, trustworthy and my dog loves everyone she has worked with!  They have accommodated all of my last minute requests.  

I checked a couple of other services before going with Paws and Claws, but Nicole was so much more professional.  She responds to calls and emails and she came to my home to meet Mabel (who was about 11 weeks old at the time) and then picked the perfect dog-walker.  I will use Paws and Claws for years to come, and you should too!!

Could not have been happier. Kenneling not even an option, with service like nicoles. Would do it again in a heart breat and will. Thanks again! Dogs far better off being in a familiar place in our absence.

To begin, because of a severe illness of a family member in Virginia, we thought we might need to leave town on a moment's notice. We contacted Nicole and she scheduled a visit with us and was flexible enough to be able to jump in if needed. As it happened, we did not need to leave at that time, but we also had a vacation planned around that time. They were able to accommodate us with that, also with very little lead time. It was a great experience! Between Susan and Nicole, our two Scotties were well cared for. Frequent texts and photos were much appreciated and a very nice touch. We have been reluctant to board our dogs because our older dog (7) has never been boarded, and has some occasional issues with other dogs. In addition, he has some anxiety issues too. Finally, our newest dog (1 1/2) is still in a crate and since we are retired, he is not used to being crated for more than a few hours at a time. As a result, we have always tried to use people (friends, relatives, etc.) that we knew to have them stay with them, or have them house-sit so their environment in as undisturbed as we can make it. Being fairly new to the area, we didn't have anyone we could use for this long a period of time. Fortunately, we found Paws and Claws Pet Services on Angie's List and based on the reviews, decided to try them. It was an excellent experience. Our dogs were happy and stress-free. Susan was the primary person with whom they interacted, and she did a great job. Extra visits were provided to accommodate the dogs' schedules of going outside. The house was in perfect shape when we got home. Needless to say, we are very pleased and will most definitely be utilizing them again should the opportunity arise.

It went very well and I was impressed by the detailed note that I got. The cat was in wonderful shape and actually played a little, which was unusual.
