McGraw’s Paws

Jason has been really great walking our dog Bodie. I really like the notes and emails that I receive about the walks. They deserve 5 stars!

So happy to have found Rachel and Jason to watch our two kitties while we’re away! They happen to live on the next block up, which makes it even better. Both Jason and Rachel are very trustworthy and responsible. We received text message updates while we’re away and they even left a few cat toys for our kitties to play with while we were gone. You can tell they both love animals and are very reliable individuals. Would highly recommend!

We have two rambunctious boxers who been walked by McGraw’s Paws for a couple of years. Our dogs love their walkers Jason and Patrick. They deserve all five stars!

Jason and Rachel are extremely trustworthy and caring pet sitters. They watched our 3 cats for a week and I could not ask for better service. Our kitties are extremely important to us, and knowing they are being cared for makes it a little easier to get away. They are meticulous about making sure your pets and your home are taken care of — from attending to your pets to taking out any trash/​recycling/​food cans. I highly recommend them if you’re in the need for a pet sitter/​dog walker.

Our dogs love McGraw’s paws and so do we!
There’s no one we trust more for professional dog care when we’re away.

We have been a happy McGraw’s Paws customer for 1.5 years. Jason walks our dog Chloe every weekday and has become, in a way, a part of our extended family.
Chloe can be a bit insecure even though she is a 65-​pound Shepherd mix. She doesn’t like loud sounds and needs extra TLC after holiday fireworks displays or thunder. Jason handles Chloe like a pro, making sure she gets exercise, mental stimulation and fresh air, all while keeping her safe and happy. He also shows that extra measure of concern if a gate is left unlatched or a door is unlocked and takes the appropriate action. Jason has been extremely dependable and flexible; he even brings packages inside and leaves the occasional witty note about their walks together.
Overall I can’t recommend Jason and McGraw’s Paws enough (I should also mention Rachel who has taken Chloe for a more than a few walks and is great as well!).

Rachel McGraw of McGraw’s Paws makes me wish all other businesses I deal with could take a lesson from her. She is so professional, organized, trustworthy, caring and honest. She has cared for my cats for about 5 years whenever I go out of town. I know I never need to worry about a thing.
She takes careful notes about any specialized care or feeding they need and their habits (one is an escape artist and will zoom out the door; the other hides in weird places). She entertains them with toys she brings during her visits and even the kitty who is scared of everyone likes her.
She is great with pets and equally patient and kind with their owners, answering any and all questions honestly. When I return everything is in good order and she leaves notes about how things went at each visit.

Rachel was amazing with our pup, Fenway. She is exceptionally prepared, organized and professional. Fenway was an older little guy with some special needs who was no longer a good fit for doggie day care. Rachel took fantastic care of him in her daily visits during what ended up being Fenway’s last couple of months with us. We are forever grateful for the loving, tender care that she gave our boy and highly recommend McGraw’s Paws. Thank you, Rachel!

we used Rachel to visit our dogs when we went on vacation. I coudl tell right off the bat that she was very knowledgeable & LOVES animals (I have met a surprising number of people who work with animals who don’t actually seem to like them…). she asked lots of questions about our dogs– info that was important, but I just never would have thought to offer. very organized & professional. she is also very secuity-​conscious & makes sure to do things like rotate lights, open/​close curtains, etc. she would have watered plants & done other house-​related stuff, but we did not need her to.
our dogs actaually escaped while we were gone– TOTALLY our fault for having a shoddy fence– first she tracked them down, then she talked to our emergency contact & gave the lowdown on the situation (we were totally unreachable).
loved the typed up report when we got home– felt like I knew what the dogs were up to & that they were in excellent hands. we will definitely use her for our next trip!

Rachel Rocks! I’ve used her three times and she’s done an amazing job each and every time. She clearly loves animals and was very gentle and attentive to my 18 year old cat. I also have a diabetic cat who needs a shot twice a day. She’s great with administering meds too. I’ve used other pet sitting services in the E. Bay over the last 8 years and McGraw’s Paws is my favorite!

Rachel McGraw knows how to care for pets. An aspiring film director, Rachel sweats the details to make sure your pet gets exactly what it requires. Reliable, trustworthy and competent are just some of attributes that describe her. Fairly priced services, too. From dog walking or just keeping your pet company to basic medical care, including administering subcutaneous fluids to older pets with kidney problems (hard to find!). I’ve used Rachel’s services twice for my elderly cat, and can’t recommend her highly enough. A real gem.

Cannot say enough good things about McGraw! She is awesome my dogs love her more then me I think. Very professional and A sweet person
