Please feel free to submit your personal comments about the service you have received from our office staff, owners and sitters.
I was a bit skeptical when I switched dog walkers/pet sitters, but I cannot be any more pleased with our dog walker. She is attentative to the dogs, makes sure they don't overheat, lets me know if anything is bothering them during their walk, and leaves thorough notes. Everytime I come home, I go straight for the note to read my story for the day. I couldn't have asked for a better dog walker or dog walking service and would HIGHLY recommend HappyPaws to anyone who loves their dogs as much as I do.

My husband and I first used Happy Paws last December when we went away for a long weekend. I had contacted them about taking care of our cat Orka. I was soon called by our assigned pet sitter Karen. Karen came to our home before our trip and went over all of the details of Orka's care. Karen was wonderful and being able to meet her in person and speak with her about Orka gave me much reassurance in knowing that he would be well cared for while we were away. When we returned from our trip, I found detailed notes left by Karen that outlined her visits with Orka. I appreciated that extra information a lot. Because Orka is a very social cat, it was nice to know that Karen not only fed him and cleaned his litter, but also stayed with him a while. We will be going to the beach this summer and I have already made arrangements for Happy Paws to care for our cat Orka again. And I have specifically requested Karen. Thankfully, she was available! I am very grateful to Happy Paws and Karen for giving our cat such fine care and giving us peace of mind that he was in good hands. Thank you.

We are so very pleased to have found Happy Paws and the good people who run the petsitting service....we are grateful for thr loving care provided to each of our cats (and even to us when we worry about one thing or another)...Karen has been the keeper of our "babies" and she is a wonderful auntie to them all..it is a joy to be able to trust people like Karen to have such empathy and caring...it was important for me to let everyone know how "happy" we have been in dealing with such fine examples of those who go above and beyond what is expected of them to be certain things go well in our absence...

My wife and I use this service everytime we go out of town, and they are fantastic! Even when it is last minute, they somehow find a way to meet our needs. Our cats sure are lucky to get this kind of attention when we are away from home...sometimes I think they want us to leave so they can see the sitter again!

First of all I would like to start out by thanking the two people who made my 1st experience with a pet sitting company my best experience, Mary the owner, and John my sitter! They are the two of the most caring people you will ever meet. John my sitter went above and beyond by not only taking excellant care of my cat but also doing the little things he didn't have to like watering my flowers so my fiancee, now wife did not have to worry about them dying. He left detailed notes regarding his activities while he was there, (which he did not have to) which to me was above and beyond what I thought we would get! I would like to highly recommend their services to anyone in need of pet care, whether it be a day, or weeks as mine was! I personally could not have asked for more and will definatly use there services the next time I am in need!

We could not be happier with Happy Paws. They are really great and my cat is so happy to have someone come and play with her while we are gone. They are very trustworthy and have great rates. We will continue to use them for as long as we live here. I would recommend them to anyone with a pet.

Thank you, Happy Paws!! We didn't know what we were going to do when our former house/pet sitter moved away. Now with Happy Paws, we can truly enjoy our vacations knowing that our older 'baby' is being well loved while we are gone!!

Where would we be without Happy Paws? When our Vet refused to board our dog because she had a series of seizures, we thought that we could never go on vacation again. That is when Happy Paws came to our rescue! They explained that pets feel much more secure when they are in their own space. For the last five years Happy Paws has provided us with a pet sitter / house sitter for our week long summer vacation, and our dog Kirsten has had no problems adapting to each new sitter. We still hate to leave her, but we rest easy knowing that she is left in very loving and responsible hands. Thank You Happy Paws!

My beagle, Charlie, has been a member of the Happy Paws Club for nearly six years. He and I couldn't be happier with the care he has received from his sitters -- and with the professionalism of Happy Paws management. A+. Five stars.

I cannot express the sense of confidence that I have in the Happy Paws Pet Sitting Service. Having used their services for several months, I have been exceptionally pleased with the flexibility, professionalism, and ability of the service to provide care that is safe and reliable. I have two Boston Terriers, one of which I acquired recently. Gracie looks forward to the visits she has with our pet walker who comes to the house during the days while I am working. I am so very happy that I found this wonderful service!!

Carol was great - - she and Shereo really hit it off wonderfully! Thanks for all your assistance in creating a comfortable departure and return for me and my dog. I look forward to using your services again in the future.

Happy Paws Pet Service was the perfect solution for our pet sitting needs. My family was new to the area and temporarily living in an apartment, which was very unfamiliar for JD, my "son" and hound mix baby. Mary and her staff took care of us and bent over backwards to meet our changing needs. I knew that JD was in the very best hands. Britta and Krista are life savers. And special thanks to Krista for all her help and really making JD know he was safe and loved. Happy Paws is the Ultimate in top quality pet sitting service!

We use Happy Paws on a fairly regular basis while out of town on business, and when we are on vacation. We have had one good experience after another. Our sitter has taken such good care of our "babies" that I can always feel assured they are "safe" in her hands. Thanks!

We have an older dog who doesn't get around very well any more, and needs to be walked while we are at work. Our sitter has been very reliable; she visits every day for a mid-day walk, and spends the rest of her visit time giving her the love and attention she needs. Our "baby" is 13 years old and doesn't do much playing these days, but she loves her sitter and really enjoys the time they spend together.

My kitties love their sitter! They know they'll get petted, and fed, and loved. They're 18 years old now and need daily pills. It's good to know I have a sitter who has no problem making sure they get their medicine. I also know my children will be happy when I get home. Gretchen looks forward to being brushed every day. And Benny knows he'll get to drink from the bathtub faucet after he eats. And when I walk in the door after a trip I wonder if they've even missed me!

Using Happy Paws for a daily walk for our dog gives us peace of mind at work, knowing that our dog will not be uncomfortable waiting to "go out." We know that his daily visit breaks up his otherwise long, lonely day and he gets the exercise, play, mental stimulation, and love he needs to be happy and healthy. The price is right for knowing you are giving your dog a better quality of life! Our sitter loves our dog like one of her own, and gives him personalized love and attention. Our neighbors even tell us how nice our sitter is and how happy our dog is when he is out with her.

Bark, Happy Paws has been visiting me for almost a year now. (I wish my mom would get my sitter to come everyday. But she has spent too much money on that silly cat Hodge's eye recently. Really, he would have been just fine with one eye in my opinion.). Anyway, I have had other humans walk me during the day, but never one who spent as much time with me as my sitter from Happy Paws. And she even notices if I am not feeling well (did I mention I am 14...though you wouldn't know it by looking at me...see my picture under "Our Dogs" on this website...oh, all right, I was a FEW years younger in the photo...so, I was 13 years younger all right?") She has gone the extra mile when I haven't been feeling well and I have heard Mom mentioning to friends how pleased she has been with the care given by Happy Paws and how much happier I am when she comes home if my sitter has been to see me that day.

Meow, I have been allowing Happy Paws to walk my dog, Katie, for almost a year. Having just read Katie's post, I must say the retched dog is most ungrateful. So fixing my eye cost $2000...I am worth every penny. Anyway, I just wanted to say that Happy Paws took very good care of me while I was recovering from 3 eye surgeries. (if you have ever tried to put ointment in a cat's eye you will appriciate what my sitter went through),even going so far as to call my vet when my human did not leave adequate instructions. You may see MY picture under "Our Cats" on this website. I am a little thinner now...it is beastly hard to eat in an Elizabethan collar. (By the way, Happy Paws, if you read this, you only caught me because I LET you catch me.) I can honestly say I like Happy Paws almost as much as I like my human. I allow Katie's sitter to pet me and make a fuss over me everytime she walks Katie. (Any cats reading this will have noticed that it makes humans feel SO special when one allows them to make a fuss over you.) Now Happy Paws, a little catnip would not be unappreciated for this very nice post. Cats NEVER do anything for free.
