Paws to Consider

I hadn’t left my dog Bizzy with a sitter in years and was very nervous about going away this weekend. Paws took Bizzy for a few walks prior to this weekend trip, and I was very impressed by the communication and pictures I received. This weekend, Kaylee watched him while I was away and sent me lots of pictures of a happy Bizzy! She was also very patient with me when I (repeatedly) checked in to ask how he was doing. Having her staying with Bizzy allowed me to relax and enjoy my weekend away. I came home to a relaxed and happy dog, and Bizzy and I will definitely continue to Paws for walks and dog sitting!

Best dog walking service around...and we vetted a bunch before deciding to go with Paws to Consider! Our dog had daily walks with Paws to Consider over the course of our 1. 5 years in Boston and every single walker they provided was wonderful. Our very energetic dog was always tired and happy after her walks; the walkers were very reliable, respectful, and conscientious; and they sent the best email updates and photos. We were so sad to leave them behind when we moved out of Boston; we highly recommend to pet owners looking for great care! More...

Paws To Consider is a wonderful dog walking service. Their walkers are professional and friendly, on time and really seem to love my dog. Cricket can be a little difficult to meet, as she has a stranger/danger reaction sometimes, but Paws does a great job of introducing new walkers to Cricket. They are great, and help me out so much with my sweet dog. Also, their level of and clear communication is fantastic. Couldn't be happier with these guys! More...

Paws is fantastic. They’ve been walking my (rambunctious, 80 lb, doesn’t-like-other dogs) Labrador for the past year. They’ve been so great to work with as our apartment building is a pain in the neck to get in and out of as well, and they’ve never even suggested giving up on us :). Super reliable service and my dog loves his walking buddies. More...

We are so thankful that we found Paws to Consider and their amazing team! The thought of someone other than family/friend(s) walking our 10 year old dog made me so nervous. But Paws to the rescue! Our pup was very reluctant at the beginning, but they knew just how to coax him, work with him to trust them, and they were beyond patient/understanding. We cycle through 3 different walkers, based on availability, and they all are so wonderful (shoutout to Jana, Mark, and Jonnie!). We have been using them for a few months now and are loving the progress they have made with our dog. Also, the online portal is a dream and makes scheduling, communication, and paying invoices a breeze. I highly recommend giving them a try for your pets needs when you can’t be there. More...

We utilize dog walking services for our Goldendoodle puppy. We have found them to be exceptional! Excellent communication, Extremely organized, Reliable dog care are just a few of the things we like best. Our puppy can be difficult at times on walks and anxious around strangers. Jana has been extremely good for our pup. I always have peace of mind when I go to work. I love the report cards we get with photos. They are caring, professional and flexible. Walks are solo or with 1 compatible dog. I love that about them. It’s definitely a more personalized approach and they are very thoughtful with transitions when it comes to introducing our pup to other dog walkers they build in additional time. More...

Our neighbors recommended Paws to us three years ago and we have been scheduling occasional walks and sitting for our dog, Jack, since then. The shelter where we adopted Jack would only release him to a forever home with no other dogs since he was surrendered due to his aggressive behavior with other dogs. None of his walkers/sitters at Paws have reported any problems and frequently seem to do a better job of controlling his behavior than we do. Paws even recommended a harness which Jack seems to be much more comfortable with than the collar we were using. We love the frequent updates that the walkers/sitters provide after each walk including lots of really great photographs, maps of the routes walked, and number of bowel movements. It would be difficult to leave Jack in a kennel and we feel much more comfortable having the sitters from Paws stay with Jack at our home. We’ve always found our home as clean, orderly, and secure as we left it. All of the walkers and sitters at Paws have gotten along so well with Jack that we haven’t had to worry and sometimes even get a bit envious. We would highly recommend Paws to anyone. More...

I have a German shepherd rescue with some attachment issues and anxiety. She won’t easily go on walks with people she doesn’t know. Progress has been slow, but I do appreciate how patient the paws team are in working with my dog, and helping her come out of her shell and learn to trust other people slowly! They’ve been so willing to work with me, try various strategies for getting my dog to walk comfortably with them, and also sharing their expert opinions based on all the other shy dogs they walk. Highly recommend without reservation. More...

Kat and cat got along famously! My kitty is very social but quite anxious, and so I really did not want to leave her in a kennel while I was on vacation. So I turned to google and found Paws to Consider for cat sitting, rather last minute too. I am so glad I hired them - the portal made it easy to set up, and getting pictures and a message from Kat each day made me feel my cat was well taken care of and happy, so I could really relax and not worry about her. The real proof was in the pudding though - when I came home last night, I did not get any of the usual silent treatment cattitude! She was happy as a clam. I'm relieved to have a cat sitting service to turn to for all my future vacations. Thank you, Kat and Paws to Consider! :) More...

I have been using Paws to Consider for several months and truly cannot speak highly enough of them. Casey and Cat are my dog's primary walkers/sitters and have consistently gone above and beyond. My dog loves seeing them every single time and they take excellent care of him, whether that's refilling his water, giving treats, playing after the walk, or cleaning him off if it's rainy. The usual walk services have always been great, but what really motivated me to write this review is that Casey recently alerted us to a possible health concern with our dog that she noticed during a walk, which led to us seeking vet care and getting the problem diagnosed and treated very early in the course. I don't know that most walkers would go out of their way to do so, or that they would even know what to look for (we hadn't even noticed this problem ourselves). It's clear that Casey and all the staff at Paws care deeply about the wellbeing of their canine clients, and I can't thank them enough! More...

Nothing is more important to me than my 2 girls! Paws to Consider has been my dog walker for about 6 months. They are always professional, reliable and super easy to communicate with including for schedule changes or additions. They send a report with pictures after every walk, which can make my day when the Zoom schedule is especially busy. Last week they stayed with my girls while my husband and I were out of town. Sophie was just great with them. I could tell they felt secure, loved and not at all stressed by our absence (and one is a Covid puppy!). We came home to happy, clean and brushed dogs and a spotless house. I really strongly recommend the whole team! More...

We started using Paws to Consider for our pup Oli in September when we all went back to work and school and realized we needed extra hands to help out with care. Joel and Mark were extremely responsive and handled our concerns with Oli like pro's. They really understood the unique needs of a puppy who had not been exposed to a lot of people and was very used to his family being around him all the time due to the pandemic. At first Oli was very nervous as he has been around all new people. Mark took the time to come to the house with Allison to meet Oli and take him out for a playdate. Oli instantly bonded with Allison and looks forward to seeing her every week! Allison is amazing with Oli and always sends us a detailed message of their time together including the best pictures of our boy. This makes me feel so good as a dog mom and helps to offset the guilt I feel about leaving Oli home alone for the day. The staff at Paws to Consider is extremely professional and reliable and we feel that not only our pup but also our home is in good hands with their staff. I would highly recommend them to anyone with a dog or cat that is looking for care! More...

Paws to Consider is the best dog walking company in JP! For the last few years we have had the good fortune to rely on their daily walking services for our elderly pup who has some minor medical issues and as a result, some special needs and requests. Joel and the team are responsive and all requests were implemented and accommodated. A couple of times on short notice, we emailed and they were able to add sessions. If they can make it happen or accommodate a special need - they will! When you find people that care for the critters in your world the way you would and want - and they respect your place and your belongings, they become family!
