Posted on David RayAugust 31, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used hands n paws and they have been great. My dog loves to see new friends. They walk the dog, refill her water bowl, feed her and they many other things they can accommodate. I would recommend.Posted on Abigail SimmonsMay 27, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the absolute best experience with Hands n Pawz. Benny is super responsive, kind and organized and Emilee, our sitter, was exceptional. I am admittingly a high maintenance/anxiety dog owner and it is VERY hard for me to leave my dog with anyone. From the start I was put at ease with our communication and my updates from Emilee let me know that my dog was not only safe, but having the time of her life with her new friend. I was actually able to relax while I was away and cannot say enough good things about my experience. I have already booked again with them! Very thankful for you guys!Posted on Jessica HillmanMay 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Benny and the HNP team goes above, beyond, and then some. All of the walkers we had help us thus far have maintained an expert level of care along with fantastic communication. 10/10 highly recommend!Posted on Lauren ChristopherMay 14, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been with this company since the beginning. These folks are the real deal. You just want someone that will care for your pets like you would and give you peace of mind while away. They care so much and are genuinely kind. I will always use them.Posted on Sarah HagovskyMay 6, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with H&P and our cats (who are very shy) loved them, too. The team showed up daily in the timeframe requested and provided comprehensive updates that helped us enjoy our vacation with peace of mind that our babies were being well cared for.Posted on Carole WeissMay 4, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful reliable service. Highly recommend!Posted on Trina DallasMay 3, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am truly happy with Hands N Paws! I had to go out of town for a month and the daily pictures and notes were a great comfort while I was away. The people went above and beyond as it was the beginning of spring and an ant invasion occurred that they informed me of and were able to lay traps for while I was away! I came home to no ants AND my two cats were happy, healthy, with no signs of stress! Personal touches were also included but I won’t ruin the kind surprises. I will absolutely be using Hands N Paws again, a trustworthy and reliable company that goes above and beyond expectations! My sincere thanks to Hands N Paws for a wonderful experience!Posted on Kierstin ConleyApril 24, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had a great experience with Rebecca! The pups love to see her and love her excitement and enthusiasm. I am so thankful to have the team to help care for the pups when we need the assistance.Posted on Michele BertoiaApril 24, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband recently passed and so I needed to find a company who could care for my cat and dog while I am away from home. My initial impressions and first experience with Hands N Paws couldn’t have been better. They have been kind, responsive, and clearly focused on the animals and ensuring a safe and comfortable experience. Looking forward to having a long relationship with Benny and the team!Load more
