Posted on Laura DevynMarch 31, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am so happy I hired this company. Scheduling is easy, employees are reliable and responsible and they genuinely care for my pet. Best of all, they are each and every one of them kind to my elderly mother, which means the world to me. This company does a great job, I’m very very happy!Posted on Lindsey BarchentMarch 16, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Hands N Paws! They are reliable, flexible, and clearly care about the pets they work with. Communication is consistent and their app makes scheduling visits and sharing preferences very easy. The photos and updates after each visit are wonderful and make it easy to see how happy and well cared for my dog is. It gives me great peace of mind knowing I never have to worry when my dog is with them - they’re the best!Posted on Cassandra HovanecMarch 13, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am BEYOND please with Hands N Paws. When I was researching companies who could provide pet care for my fur babies, I came across Hand N Paws and read all the wonderful reviews, which is why I selected them. Let me tell you, they 100% live up to the hype! With only a few visits, I already feel so comfortable leaving my babies in their hands. It literally feels like I’m leaving them with trusted family! Their journal entries are amazing and they provide so much feedback about the visit with photos, which is even more reassuring! 10/10 would recommend their services and can’t wait to continue to use them in the future!Posted on Michelle NguyenFebruary 23, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. HNP were wonderful and took great care of our dog Phoebe. They followed instructions and asked for clarification when they needed it. We loved getting their journal updates and pictures. I especially like that at the end of the trip, that they have you indicate to them that you’ve returned safely. One of our neighbors told me that she’s never seen so many people caring for our dog like that before and enjoyed seeing them walk by her window everyday. Thanks so much to the team!Posted on Christopher BrooksFebruary 22, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hands N Paws has raised the bar for dog care everywhere! Everything about our dog walking and dog sitting experience has been nothing but exceptional. Communication and preparation for visits is seamless and their app tells us when they are on their way, have arrived, and we can communicate with the dog walker if there is urgent communication. Our dogs, one of which who is a lover of everyone and another who takes a kind, understanding person to gain trust, both love every single dog sitter and dog walker. This has been especially meaningful for our dachshund who needs people who understand dog psychology and dog anxiety to thrive. We couldn't have found better people who use that use that knowledge of how to overcome that dog anxiety - within two visits, he is know so excited for them to come every time! They read through our preferences for care and follow them in an exceptionally detailed way. They are super respectful of our house and not only put away packages, but even put away frozen food from a package in our freezer! After each visit, they send the best possible care summary. You can also trust them to take care of your dogs and house if there is any possible dog medical issue or issue with the house - when this happened our dog walker was super on top of things, efficiently troubleshooted the situation, and even a Hands N Paws manager was calling and texting us at 8 PM on a Saturday to ensure our dogs were as safe as possible. I have never trusted a dog walker/groomer/daycare as much as Hands N Paws and I give the highest possible recommendation!Posted on Beth KagelFebruary 8, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A friend of mine recommended hands and paws about 3 years ago and I am so glad she did. The team is friendly and warm. Very easy to work with and accommodating especially when I had an unexpected emergency. My dogs are in love with one of their employees. I am so glad that I found them. They are like family.Posted on Sherri MacikDecember 25, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hands and paws was fantastic...arrived on time and sent awesome updates and pics of my 2 1st pet visits!!!Posted on Sarah FlukerNovember 30, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have used Hands N Paws a few times now and they are seriously wonderful. If you’re an anxious pet parent (I may be as anxious as they come!) this really is the best way to go. They were always on time, did above and beyond what was expected while we were away, and our cats adored them all! Even our very shy cat managed to be comfortable enough to come out, which was a huge deal for us. We looked forward to reading the journal and looking at pictures every morning/evening after their visits 🙂 I actually worked for a similar company (in a different state) for years, so I have always been very selective and particular about pet care standards. Hands N Paws checks all the boxes and the owner Benny is professional, really nice, and most importantly understands that pets are family members and deserve to be treated as such! And prices are SO reasonable!Posted on Tish FrizNovember 20, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Effie had her first visit today. I just read all the notes from Jake's visit with her and I am blown away. Benny - thank you so much for creating such an amazing thing. We have really truly struggled to find people that we trust with our animals just even for simple things like this, and I have personally dog sat for a very long time and I so understand how important that trust is. I just really wanted to say thank you and I'm so glad that we were able to connect with you guys sooner than later. The ease of booking the detail of notes the journal he provided. My husband and I are just so insanely grateful for this wonderful business you have. The peace of mind that my 14 year old lady will be taken care of with such attention is more than I could have asked for.Load more
