Testimonials

"Caroline and Paula have provided my dog with WONDERFUL care. I have had my dog since he was a puppy and he is now over 7 years old. I consider him my child and treat him as such. Before a year ago, he had never been in a kennel or watched by anyone who was not a close friend or relative. I was very anxious to hire anyone and let them come into my house and take care of my baby. I tried a couple puppy sitters prior to Pawsitive Strides and never used them more than once. It was clear that other puppy sitting services did not care about my dog, this was just a business for them. With Pawsitive Strides, I know my dog is being loved and taken care of as if I were home. I will never hire anyone else. It is easy to schedule appointments, I receive detailed notes and pictures from each visit, and most of all my dog is content when I come home. Sometimes I think he'd rather see Caroline or Paula when I come home after being away. I would highly recommend Pawsitive Strides to anyone who cares for their pets like I do!

Additionally, the care Caroline and Paula provide extends beyond their visits. My dog recently went through a major surgery, after which they contacted me several times to make sure he was okay and progressing well. This is the love for animals you can't pay someone to have!"

"I would like to highly recommend PAWSitive Strides as a great provider of pet care services. They have been working with my two shelties for the past year and have been reliable, courteous and protective of my dogs, and respectful of my house. They are also listed on the Keene's Pointe Homeowner Reviews at the Keene's Point Community Association Website as a highly regarded service.

My dogs, McKensie and Princess are two shelties who always look forward to their walks with Paula during the week, and miss her when she is not here on the weekends.I have also used their overnight service for holidays and found them most respectful of my household and my precious pets. Again, I would recommend PAWSitive Strides without hesitation."

"Paula and Caroline have provided exceptional care for our two great danes, Max & Duke. We rescued them at eight months old as a package, they are now seven. Duke is deaf and completely relies on Max for support and guidance. It has always been initially hard for them to be trusting to any strangers, but in meeting Paula & Caroline it was clear they had made new friends.

It's apparent that Pawsitive Strides truly strives to give the best care possible for our pets. Case in point; they had their first overnight stay, Max hurt his foot bad enough that Caroline had to bandage it to stop the bleeding. She took such great care of them and upon our return the house was in order and Max and Duke were happy boys! She had even made a folder with their photos and a full progress report. Above and beyond! In closing, I have and will continue in the future to recommend them to anyone who is looking for genuine animal care."

"We started using Pawsitive Strides after having a poor experience with our former petsitter. We were really looking for someone who would take care of our dogs and also respect our home. And we were so lucky that we found both with Caroline! We hate to leave our dogs while we go away and really didn't want to kennel them - we are so relieved that we know that when we leave, our dogs will have the care, petting and love that they rely on from us when we are home. We have actually had our plane arrive early and met Caroline at the house and it was clear that both of our dogs adore her - which was so amazing to see as normally we wouldn't see that. We will use Pawsitive Strides as long as we can and would certainly recommend the service to anyone! Thanks again for taking such great care of our babies!"

"I am so happy to have found PAWSitive Strides. Paula is so caring and dependable, it is a big relief to know that my dog, Paris, is in her care. The quality service PAWSitive Strides provides is far and above any other I have used. And they are lovely people on top of it. Every pet is lucky that gets to see Paula every day!!"

Balinda DeSantis - Orlando, FL

"PAWSitive Strides took excellent care of my two dogs while I was away. The level of care that my pets received put my mind at ease since I knew that not only did they receive their daily feeding but they also received love and attention! I would recommend PAWSitive Strides hands down."

Amy Jones - Gotha, FL

"PAWSitive Strides took great care of my cats. I was out of the country and it was great to know they were being well cared for by kind and responsible people. Highly recommend the company to pet lovers."

Molly Hug - Orlando, FL

"I want to thank you for taking such good care of Sassy. She was so relaxed when I got in last night, a stark contrast to the stressed demeanor she exhibits when I pick her up from a few days at the kennel. The photos you took are darling, and getting a brief note from you daily just to say she was well really made a big difference to me. I did not worry about her in the least, and usually I do when she has to go to the kennel. Thank you again."

Christine O'Neal - Orlando, FL

"Just sending this message to let you know how pleased we were with PAWSitive Strides. Paula did a wonderful job with my little darling Kara and made me feel like I was leaving Kara in loving hands. With Kara just being 8 months old and on her first camping trip I would not have felt comfortable putting her in a kennel when we visited the parks. Thank You."

Dave and Betty McKim - Edgewood, MD

""Caroline, I would just like to thank you again for the first class service that was so personal and comforting to Ceilidh. We came to Orlando knowing that our little pup needed looked after if we people folks were going to be able to have a good time with Mickey, Shamu and co. I think you can tell that we treat our little bundle of joy as if she was our only child (errm... maybe that's because she is!), so there is no way our vacation could be enjoyed unless we had peace of mind that she was being cared for.

From the day of the first meeting, it was such a pleasure to meet yourself and Brian and to see how caring you were towards Ceilidh. Your continuous concern over pricing for your service was very touching and showed that you were more concerned about delivering a service than just doing a job. That to me was fantastic.

I would highly recommend you to anybody who is visiting the Orlando area with a pet. You made our vacation one to remember and Ceilidh had a ball. The fact that you made your schedule meet ours (which was just off the cuff!) was first class customer service... especially as we are only visitors and were only providing you temporary work. We were simply over the moon with your care and services and would love for others to know.

Thank you again and lots of licks and kisses from Ceilidh."

"I want to Thank you both for the excellent care and attention you gave "my girls" Angel & Lil' Sister during my trip. I knew from our meetings that you both were dedicated to the well being of animals. I totally enjoyed my vacation because I knew the girls were in expert and loving hands. Angel, as you know, is tempermental and set in her ways and often suffered when I was away - her strangeness hides her really tender nature. And Sister, being an adopted little girl, seeks approval from everyone, needs reassuring regularly.

What a delightful return - to find "the girls" relaxed, happy and contented. Again, Thank You Both for your wonderful service. I look forward to using PAWSitive Strides in the future when the need arises."

Carol Breitbard - Orlando, FL (Bay Hill)

"Thank you so much again for your services! You really do live up to your slogan, I wish I had found you sooner, the difference in service is night and day.  Have a wonderful new year and we will be calling you again as well as highly recommending your services."

Jorge and Veronica Palacios - Orlando, FL (Hunter's Creek)

"When we use Pawsitive Strides as our pet sitting service we are able to enjoy our vacations without any concern for our pets. Pawsitive Strides takes such good care of our pets that I believe the pets really miss their visits upon our return. Our dog, Goldie, actually sat at the front window watching for Pawsitive Strides’ arrival the day following our return. Pawsitive Strides must spoil her more than we do. It is a pleasure to know that our pets’ needs are met with such professionalism and care. I would recommend Pawsitive Strides to any animal owner looking for the best care for their pets!
