Paws to Consider is an absolute lifesaver! They've been taking my dog on midday walks for the last few weeks and consistently they've been super professional, communicative, and just overall wonderful with her. She looks forward to her walkies and is content and nap ready by the time she gets home. Scheduling through the app is super easy and the walker always leaves detailed reports and pictures of how the walk went. Seriously so grateful to have them in my neighborhood!

These people are just great. Very professional and reliable! I went away for a few days last week and had them care for my kitties. They gave me really nice updates every time and did everything I asked them to. I just adopted my kitties around six months ago, and this was the first time I went away since then. They did hide from the cat sitters most of the time, but the sitters still sat down and waited just to give them a chance to get some pets or play. I really appreciated that. I will definitely use Paws to Consider next time I go away!

Paws To Consider walked my dog Ollie for almost four years until I moved out of their service area. They are one of the best dog walking services in Boston in my opinion. Ollie is a difficult dog, and they met him where he's at and took extremely good care of him. I never had to worry about how the day would go for him when I had a walk scheduled with them. Even on a day when Ollie had an accident in his crate, they cleaned it up, ran the bed through the washing machine, and gave me a detailed report about how he seemed to be feeling before and after the walk. They truly treat your dog as if it's one of their own. We miss them already! Shout outs to Kaylee, Andrea, Colleen, and Christina - you guys are the best.

PTC is a great cat sitting service! They did such a great job putting us at ease when we had to leave town. They are so communicative and make sure to send pictures whenever they visit so we know how our cat is doing. I highly recommend their services.

Highly recommend Paws to Consider! We've used them for over a year now for dog walks and they are amazing with communication, scheduling, and providing updates and summaries of walks. Any time I had a last-minute question or schedule change, they were super responsive. Our dog is also reactive, and they were great about introducing new walkers to him so that he was comfortable and working with him on his walks. We also used them for dog and cat sitting, and felt so comfortable knowing our animals were being well-cared by the Paws Team in our absence. Moving away, so we're sad to no longer be working with them!

Paws to Consider is a great service for dog walking and pet sitting! They take the time to get to know your pet before any service. Their walkers are patient and the team is helpful and prompt with scheduling and questions. The pictures they send of our dog on his walks and the updates brighten our day!

Can't recommend Paws to Consider enough. We unfortunately just moved out of the area and will miss working with them greatly! They are extremely responsive and flexible, making scheduling and rescheduling super easy. And the team was so caring with our dog Bristowe. He is very wary and nervous around new people, and they have always been so understanding and helpful in finding walkers that he is comfortable around and who loved him. Thank you SO much to Paws to Consider - we will miss you lots!!
