Paws To The Ground

On December 7, my then current dog sitter told me that she had to cancel my boarding reservation for Wilson (Wheaten Terrier pup) scheduled for December 22 — 28 when I would be flying home for the holidays. I had to scramble to find a service provider who had availability during that timeframe and who I could trust. Then, Christmas was saved when I found Paws to the Ground. I am thorough when it comes to evaluating service providers for my dog. Amanda from Paws to the Ground was very accommodating to my requests. She was not only willing to meet me at a neutral location, but she also made time to invite me to her house where she would be keeping Wilson. I met everyone and every pet that would be coming in contact with Wilson during his stay. After our first meeting, I had a really good feeling about Amanda. She is a true animal lover, especially dogs. She answered all my questions honestly, even the tough ones. After the second visit, I knew Wilson would be in good hands do I booked the service. She picked him up from my house on the first day of his boarding. Amanda texted me pictures along with their activities every day — lot’s of running and exercise. Now this is where Paws to the Ground completely exceeded my expectations. After super early flight back and a two hour layover in Houston, I finally got back to Austin. I drove over to pick Wilson up. Amanda, to my surprise, had Wilson groomed that morning. When I saw him, he smelled great, had a scarf around his neck and a smile ear to ear. That just made my day! Amanda is a true professional and Paws to the Ground delivers a high-​quality service. This experience motivated me to cancel my current dog walker and hire Paws to the Ground for ongoing walking services. If anyone has any questions about my experience with Paws to the Ground, leave a comment to my review and I’ll get back to you.

Leaving my dog and cat home while I went out of town for Christmas was very hard for me. They are my children and I am VERY picky when it comes to who I choose to take care of them. I will definitely trust Amanda to care for them again! She was fantastic. You can tell she has a true passion for animals. I loved getting picture updates of both my dog and cat. She was also very accommodating to my dog’s knee injury and activity restrictions. I highly recommend! Thanks again! :)

Like all of the previous reviews, I agree that Amanda goes way above and beyond, and I would give her all the stars on Unilocal if I could. I have had several dog sitters before, and she is by far the best. After I had last minute changes to my Christmas plans and couldn’t bring my dog, my regular sitter was booked and referred me to Amanda, who had a last minute cancellation. Boy did I luck out! I knew as soon as we spoke that we would be friends, and she loved my old crotchety dog with certain «behavioral issues» that would send most people running for the hills. Of course my dog loved her, and I was able to enjoy Christmas away from home with the peace of mind knowing my dog and home were in excellent hands. She’s an absolute lifesaver and I called her my «Christmas Miracle!» I have already called her again and will definitely continue to do so in the future. Thanks, Amanda! You rock!

Amanda is fantastic. She had very reasonable rates and was phenomenal with my dog. In addition, she continuously sent me pics to show how he was doing. She obviously loves dogs very much and is very accommodating to any requests. I highly recommend using Paws to the Ground.

Amanda is phenomenal. She genuinely cared about my dog Sasha, and she kept me very well up-​to-​date. It looked like Sasha was having a blast and I could tell how much she enjoyed her stay when I picked her up. Very highly recommended!

I would highly recommend «Paws to the Ground» for any boarding or dog walking services you need. Amanda has dog sat for me on numerous occasions and each experience is better than the last. She updates me with pictures while I am away and I feel so relieved to know my dog is getting a lot of TLC while I am gone. Great rates, amazing service, and wouldn’t trust my pup with anyone else!

If I could give Amanda 6 stars, I would. We found her through a website designed for neighbors to network and ended up hiring her as a pet sitter for our cat Samson over the recent Thanksgiving holiday. Not only did she accommodate our very specific requests for when to visit (Tues, Wed and Friday only), and provide extremely reasonable rates ($ 50 for three visits), she sent us picture updates of our «son»! Samson is not an easy cat to handle – cantankerous and borderline aggressive at times to strangers – but surprisingly things seem to have gone well for both Amanda and Samson! Huge relief. She even sent us a picture of her sweet son Kyan petting Samson on the head, which kind of blew us away. She also took care of Samson’s litterbox which is no easy task considering he is a big, BIG boy. We returned to our home in perfect condition, and she had even turned the heat on for us during her last visit since the temperature had dropped considerably that day! Amanda did all of this with enthusiasm and the utmost professionalism.
Finding a competent, affordable, trustworthy pet sitter is truly priceless. I’m glad to say I’ve found mine. Thank you so much, Amanda!
