Posh Paws provided dependable excellent care of our many fur babies over a long weekend, coming to our home twice a day to provide custom loving care. Communication was frequent and thorough, and included photos of our dogs at play. Thoroughly professionally, our caregiver was also warm and personable. We were able to travel knowing our animals were comfortable in their own home and cared for well. Highly recommended. Will definitely use, again.read more

Posh Paws provides amazing service! We were distressed because our regular sitter was no longer going to be in the sitting business and I had work trips coming up soon. She recommended Posh Paws, as she knows how very important our furries are to us and how much trouble we'd had in the past finding a sitter we loved and trusted. Posh Paws has been a great experience in every way. Very professional, up front and transparent about their policies and fees, and having the portal as an internal information hub and easy communication method is brilliant. Our sitter was amazing and our furries adore her! The updates and pictures from her make being away from home a little easier because we know the kiddos are in great hands!read more

on 9/20 i fell and broke my left shoulder. I had never needed a dog walker before---but I called Posh Paws and spoke with very nice lady. The two young ladies who did the dog walking for my beloved little Geogia were wonderful. She loved Tammy and Marissa and they were so kind and collected my mail for me and took out my trash. I suffered another fall due to low blood sugar two weeks ago and it was quite a setback and the girls once again were there to help. I will never forget their kindness and help to myself and my baby girl. A wonderful company and the owner is excellent and very kind. I would recommend them to anyone and even told my physician and surgeon how nice everyone was. Many thanks to Posh Paw staff from Jeri Burchread more

I absolutely love Posh Paws Pet Care! They are amazing at loving my baby just as I do. It was so easy to set up my account and pay for services online. They always take such good care of my Wurstel and he loves his visits. I always get pictures of him while he’s out on his walks. It was such a relief to find them and a piece of mind knowing that they would be there when they said. I highly recommend them to anyone!!read more

As a veterinary technician, it's extremely important to me that my furr babies be kept safe and happy while I'm away from home. Posh Paws/Tammy did exactly that and I never felt like I had to check in with her. She kept in contact and sent me updates that made me enjoy my vacation and time with friends even more enjoyable! I will recommend Posh Paws over and over again! :)read more

Posh Paws is outstanding! They agreed to care for our new puppy over Christmas and they did an amazing job. We are also utilizing their training services and have been so happy and pleased with the results. They are always so loving towards our little one and they truly care for her like she is their own. They are truly a God send!read more

We recently hired Posh Paws to take care of our pets while we were away for spring break. They came three times a day to walk and play with the pets. We were blown away by their level of professionalism and courtesy. The App was so convenient and useful and made it so easy to communicate with the caregivers that were checking on our home and pets. We were hesitant at first, as this is the first time we've ever used a professional petsitter, but the peace of mind we felt knowing they were well cared for was so worth it. And the picture updates were fantastic! I highly recommend Posh Paws to anyone that's looking for daily, or vacation care for their pets. We will definitely use their services again!read more

I cannot recommend Posh Paws enough! They watched our two dogs while we were away for a week. One dog is very personable but has separation anxiety and usually won't eat the first few days we're away, the other is very shy. Posh Paws was most attentive to my dogs' needs and they were all friends in no time. The day we were to come home our flight was cancelled; we had to spend an extra night away from home. Posh Paws immediately added another day to the schedule. I don't know what we would have done without them. It's so nice to go away and know that your babies are in good hands. We will definitely use them again!read more

So our German Shepherd got sick around Mid June and we were struggling to get home to take her out....when someone recommended PoshPaws Pet Care to us. I’ll admit I was nervous at first but once we met with Carolyn King and saw how fast our dog bonded with her we knew we were it great hands. We have been having her watch and take our dog out for over 2months now and my dog loves her and we love her! ❤️ They are truly the best and we couldn’t be happier with Posh Paws and Carolyn watching our fuzzy. Also, I know our GSD is having a great time because on the days we don’t have her normal schedule with Carolyn we hear about it????read more

We were totally satisfied and elated with the care and attention that the Posh Paws folks gave to our 2 cats. Tammy was the employee that spent the most time with them, she gave daily updates with photos (she visited twice a day so we received updates twice a day) and listed specifically what she did and how the cats were doing. This was done with emails and also was easily accessed via their on-line app. You could tell that she truly loved her job and thoroughly enjoyed taking care of our dear pets. We had been kenneling our cats, but after trying PoshPaws as a trial (really more for how the cats would do) while we were away for 2 back-to-back long weekend trips, we have no plans to ever kennel them again.read more

Posh Paws exceeded my expectations! I have not been able to leave my little dog for years as there was no one I could trust. Tammy came for a meet and greet and I knew she would be great. We had Tammy here for 3 overnights, Tammy was so good with my dog that I don't think she missed me at all, she sent tons of pictures and checked in with me more than I expected. She was wonderful!! Christy was a pleasure to work with getting me set up as a new overprotective dog mom! Thank you Ladies!!read more

We contacted Posh Paws on a pure chance when our cat was ill. There are not enough stars to express the graditude and love we have for this company. They cared for our Sam like he was their pet. We now also have a dog and use them for daily walks and will continue to trust them with our fur family members.read more

This was my husbands and my first time hiring a professional company to sit for our pups and cat. Before it was only family we trusted. Took a chance and everything went perfectly. I can’t say enough about how happy we are with Posh Paws! Meeting way before our trip to introduce Jenny, Daphne, and Bonnie to Tammy instantly made me relax. Tammy took notes and made sure she knew where everything for the pets was located. The daily updates and pictures put my mind at ease while we were away. It was so hard to leave our fur babies but the updates gave me peace and the pets were happy and staying in routine while staying in their own home. Couldn’t have asked for more. The process of scheduling and meeting and payment was so smooth. We will be using them again for an up coming trip in June ?read more

i am new to this area and wanted someone dependable for my two cats. Tammy was wonderful. She treated my cats like her own and even played with them. She also gave them some treats and toys. My cats who are not the friendlies to strangers, allowed her to pet them. Tammy is very trustworthy and trustworthy. I will have them watch my animals anytime. Very dependable. She sent emails to me on every visit along with pictures. I didn't feel like I was away at all. Do not hesitate to hire this company.read more

We are new to the area and were planning a short getaway. I needed someone to care for our two cats while we were away. I found Posh Paws online and I can’t say enough about them. Our sitter, Carolyn, now feels like part of our family. She went above and beyond to not only take care of our cats but our home by bringing in the mail, trash can and cleaning up after our cats. I love the app and the great communication. Their prices are very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again. Thank youread more

The service we received from Posh Paws far exceeded our expectations. This company is not just some random stranger you hope takes good care of your pet! They came over to meet our babies and asked all the questions and took all the notes and even put a lockbox on the door and gave us an app! When they left I was confident that if something ever happened to us these people could properly care for our pets because they knew everything there was to know about them. They showed up everyday on time and left us detailed feedback about their visit and sent the most amazing pictures of our pets! This service was worth every penny because I could enjoy my vacation with out worry for the first time ever! Thank you Posh Paws!read more

Posh Paws far exceeded my expectations for caring for my two cats. You not only get the best care but you receive daily updates with pictures on a conversation log you set up every time they visit. This was very helpful while I was away to see my cats happy and being cared for. Tammi and Sherri were amazing with my cats. My one cat for 10 years now will always hide under the bed when someone comes over and I am receiving pictures of her out and about and playing with these ladys. That's never happened!! so thanks again Posh Paws I can finally think about traveling more.read more

On the first day of our trip we received photos of our babies with big smiles on their faces. Our pet care taker also was able to get a picture of our cats which normally stay in hiding like most cats. This small gesture made us feel at ease that our animals were in very good hands.

I switched to Posh Paws after being disappointed with a now-out of business petsitting service, and this was the best decision I've ever made. Tammi and Christine have been my sitters for my last few trips, and their attentiveness and care for my kitty Figaro has been outstanding. Every visit, they send me a note with a bunch of pictures, which gives me great peace of mind when I am away. I highly recommend Posh Paws for your pet sitting needs. You won't regret it!read more
