Paws Away Pet Sitting Reviews

Paws Away provides a wonderful service. We've had Julie do pet sitting for us for years. All of our cats have enjoyed interacting with Julie, and we love that we can be confident about their care while we're away. While not needed for our recent trip, Julie has also done a great job in the past of getting our cats to take their meds. (Doesn't hurt at all that she is a qualified vet tech)

I have been using Julie for 13 years and I cannot tell you how much she has helped me and my pets. I am so grateful for her being in the pet care business and for all the knowledge she has passed along to me both from her veterinary assistant background and many years caring for animals. I have a lot of pets with special needs. She has come up with amazing ideas to help me accommodate them during our visits. She cares for them better than I do! She is so attentive with them and they are disappointed when I come home because they want Julie to keep visiting. She is reliable, professional, and has extensive experience and so you are basically getting a free animal behaviorist on every visit. I am so incredibly grateful to Julie for all the care and ideas she has given me to accommodate dogs I have had with special needs and ideas for keeping my kitties engaged. Thank you Julie!!!!

We have booked Julie as a cat sitter for the past couple of years for our two cats and have been pleased with her services. She does a free initial visit to get the lay of the land and meet the pets. Her app is very user friendly - you can book there, get daily photos/updates, and pay invoices easily. Her rates are reasonable. She is conscientious about following our cats' feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, cleaning up any pet messes, and watering plants/checking mail while you're away. I would recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting services.

Julie is great with our senior cat. She sends daily updates and pics and we always feel comfortable knowing he is being taken care of by her. Julie also brings in the mail, waters our plants and fills the outdoor bird feeders. We definitely recommend her!

We've been requesting Julie's services for almost 2 years and I truly cannot say enough great things!! She sticks to our cat's feeding schedule and routine which is so appreciated since we all know our pets internal alarm clock on when to eat is crucial to them! We get prompt updates in the app (which is also super user friendly and easy to pay/communicate through) the updates include photos for each visit, which we love. It's what I look most forward to when waking up while we are away. Most importantly I never feel judged by Julie when I leave all of my (probably) overly detailed instructions because it's the best way to cope with my anxiety of leaving my sweet girl. We always come back to a clean litter box, happy cat, and our house the way we left it. I absolutely trust Julie with our cat and in our home.

I have been working with Julie for years to take care of my kitties while out of town, and she is amazing! Incredibly reliable, prompt, and detailed. She always sends updates, and we come home to happy cats.

Julie is by far the best petsitter I could ask for, and with as many times as I have moved that is saying a lot!<br><br>I have used her for many years, and I always know that I never have to worry about my pets. She takes such good care of them that I think they like her better than me!<br><br>She always has great ideas about how to adjust various items in the house to make it more comfortable with the dogs when I am gone, and she had come up with the idea to have the tv play soft music and flash pictures of landscapes and animals to keep the animals calm. <br><br>I had a dog that had been moved around a lot between animal shelters and adopters who returned him, and Julie had some wonderful suggestions about researching the breed and using interactive toys along with lots of walks to help him acclimate.<br><br>I am so lucky to have Julie as my petsitter!<br><br>My dogs almost break down the door when they see her through the window and know she is coming to walk them!

Julie watched our chinchilla for a week and we felt very comfortable that everything would be taken care of, and it was. Will use again.

Paws Away has cared for several of our dogs and cats over the years. I always feel confident that the animals are receiving great care. Communication is always good. I can highly recommend Paws Away if you want to be away and have great peace of mind.

Julie does the best job at taking care of our two kitties! We never have to worry while we are away, she is extremely reliable. She also picks up our packages, our mail, takes our garbage cans out. I don’t know what we’d do without her!

Our cat is very fearful of strangers and with Julie he completely came out of his shell!!! After a few visits, he was greeting her at the door and seeking belly rubs. She did a great job taking care of him while we were gone and knowing she would come by (even in the bad weather) was a great comfort to us. I can't say enough positive. We will definitely use her again in the need arises!!

I have relied on Julie from Paws Away Pet Sitting for over a decade to care for my cats. As a veterinary technician, she has lovingly tended to my older cats who have, at times, needed medication, injections, visits to the emergency vet clinic, and hospice care. She plays with my younger cats. She has brought in the mail, watered plants and kept the bird bath filled when I've been gone for extended periods of time. She leaves me a note about how the cats have been so I know exactly what is going on. I rely on her knowledge and judgment. Julie is personable, caring, very knowledgeable and reliable. I trust her explicitly and highly recommend her. Just please don't keep her so busy she is no longer available to take care of my cats!!

We have used Paws Away Pet Sitting for at least 15 years to care for our cats and home while we have been out of town. Julie has been reliable in ALL ways by treating our kitties with the best of care. Eventually, as is often the case, our first batch of cats required medication and special care. We were comfortable and confident that Julie had training and experience with administering meds as well as knowing if one of the animals was still not doing well. That level of care put our minds at ease when we could not be home. I cannot say enough good things about Paws Away Pet Sitting; this household of people and kitties give it many thumbs up!

Julie has given us peace of mind about leaving our three dogs whether it is day sits or when going out of town. When we return from being gone during the day, or from overnight travel, our pups are happy and content.
