Our Satisfied Customers

 

dog walking

"We have been using Paw Paw since October of last year, and have nothing but positive things to say about them. Extremely reliable and professional, always quick with confirmations of walks and with billing. We've also used them for watching our dog over the weekend and that was also a great experience. The walkers have all been friendly and leave a note each day with details on the day's walk. Use them!"

-Neil, owner of Ortiz


"I cannot say enough good things about Paw Paw Dog Walking. I moved to Brooklyn in June 2015, and I was really worried about finding a reliable service for my dog, Finnley. He's an older rescue beagle who is really sweet and still needs a lot of exercise. I was really impressed with our initial meeting and immediately hired them. Paw Paw has been walking Finn five days a week for a year and I never worry about him. I know Finn is well cared for and getting enough attention, exercise (and treats!) to hold him over until I get home from work. They have been really accommodating and communicative. Highly recommend!"

-Mary Ann, owner of Finn

 

"I have nothing but amazing things to say about Paw Paw Pet Care and their dog walkers. My Cleo has a blast with them and their prices are extremely competitive making my husband and I equally as happy as Cleo. Importantly, they are good at following your specific needs - yes I like my dogs paws wiped after walking on the dirty BK streets - and they leave great notes so that I know what 'business' my dog did on her walks so I know what is left for her to do before bed.
I highly recommend Paw Paw!"

-Rachel, owner of Cleo

 

Cat Sitting

"I really love my cats. For many years, Paw Paw took care of our two cats while we were out of town. Paw Paw’s people are ones who cats respond too... and Paw Paw has excellent communication with humans too by always confirming visitations, price (great value), texting photos and leaving a note. Most importantly, we could not have gotten through the past 6 months without Paw Paw, when both our cats got cancer, requiring extra visits for medication and feeding. Paw Paw did a wonderful job of caring for our human-animal family."

-Reid, owner of Bon Jour & BonNu

 

"I recommend Paw Paw pet care very very highly. They have cared for my cats for years. I travel a lot, and it is so reassuring to see the love and attention my cats receive under their care. One of my cats, now sadly passed away, had health issues and Melissa kept me calm when I had to travel, because she observed her closely and noticed any changes. Everyone who works with Paw Paw is extremely professional and loves animals. I frequently get emails or texts with cute photos of my cat while I travel updating me on how she is doing, at the end of each visit I find a meticulously detailed record of each visit, the cat's diet, litter box use, etc. I really cannot speak highly enough of them, I think they are amazing! Their prices are reasonable, and they are always quick to respond and reliable."

-Miriam, owner of Lyla
