raves & reviews

  • We've had Emily come stay for 24/7 care while we're on vacation and she was just as great as Rici! Constant photos and communication gave us so much peace of mind. We could not recommend them more!

  • We love Paws and Plants! I have been so swamped with grad school, work and well...life, and knowing that my sweet Freddy is taken care of while I'm at work helps me breathe a sigh of relief.

  • Rici has taken care of my dogs for a while now and she’s incredible. I’ve used her for 24/7 care, drop-ins and plant services. She loves my dogs as her own and they adore her. She’s so reliable and her communication is wonderful. She feels like a part of our family and I can’t recommend her enough!
