PDR Paws & Pads

Powell is the best! Very professional, highly reliable, reasonable rates, and she loves our two dogs! We give her our unconditional highest recommendation.

I met Powell through a friend of a friend. She and I got to chatting, and she told me that she has a dog walking and sitting business. I said, «Awesome! I have 3 Great Danes and a spaniel mix, and I need a sitter and a walker for them, for when I go out of town.» That’s a LOT of dogs to care for and exercise, so I was worried if she could handle it. Plus, my dogs are like my children, so it was important to me that they are cared for by someone loving, compassionate, and competent. I later asked the mutual friend who I met Powell through, «Can I really trust this Powell girl with my dogs while I’m out of town?» He said, «Yes! She’s a great person, and completely trustworthy.» Fast forward several months, and Powell has now taken care of my dogs (spent the night at my house, fed, cared for, and walked them) on two separate occasions now (I was out of town for several days in a row, per each occasion). And not only did she do a GREAT job with the dogs, and handled them well (my roommates reported back to me with these facts), but the dogs love her and get super excited when she comes around! Powell also kept me up to date each day with how my dogs were doing. So that totally put my mind at ease while I was out of town. In addition to how great Powell is with animals, she has excellent social skills with people too. She is sweet and very personable! I highly, highly, highly recommend Powell to anyone who wants their animals cared for, loved, and exercised, and/​or for those also wanting their home looked after while they’re out town.

If you have pets, you NEED Powell in your life! My cat recently fell very ill and I desperately needed help and advice in addition to my vet visits. Powell came to my rescue and talked to me at length about my cat’s ailments and problems. I could immediately tell that she knew what she was talking about.
She made a house call to come and see my cat and give me her advice (which was right by the way!). She took so much time out of her day to come and see me and even sit with me at urgent animal care! She is extremely knowledge, kind and compassionate. I cannot express my thanks enough to her for supporting me through this hard time. She shows genuine concern and interest in my cat’s well being, follows up regularly and is there for me when I text with updates.
Powell is awesome, period. If you need someone for your pets, don’t bother looking for someone better because you won’t find them.

Powell’s PDR Paws & Pads is THE BEST!!! I feel so lucky to have found this service soon after moving to LA. I have 2 cats and frequently go on short trips. Powell is very professional and provides excellent service for a fantastic price. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and very caring; I don’t worry about the kitties at all when I’m gone. I’d highly, highly recommend PDR Paws & Pads to anyone seeking pet sitting services. LOVE!!!

Powell is AMAZING. She was highly recommended to my by a good friend who knows how I am about my animals. I was not disappointed.
She asks all the right questions, is very personable and to be very LA for a moment, has a great, calm, energy about her.
Powell texted me with questions during Lulu’s stay with her, kept me informed as to how she was doing and completely put me at ease. I can’t say enough good things about her.
I think the most traumatic thing about Lulu’s very long stay with Powell is having to come back home to me and my children. She’s that good.
So good in fact, I’m entrusting her with my non-​hairy children (kids), who also fell madly in love with her.
If all the amazing reviews don’t convince you to use her, call her. After one conversation you’ll understand what we are all going on about.

Powell is the best.
I recently hired Paws & Pads to look after my cats while I was out of town. At the initial consult I was very impressed by all the questions she asked, the time she spent talking with me, and the concern she had for my cats. While I was away she sent photos and text messages to update me on the kitties, and when I returned home, there was a note on the table that gave a full report. Powell genuinely liked my cats and they warmed up to her quickly — even my little Emo cat who keeps a distance from everyone. When I returned home from my trip, both cats were relaxed, happy and well fed.
I’d recommend Powell and PDRP&P without hesitation to anyone looking for a top-​quality, conscientious, friendly and responsible cat sitter! I’m sure I’ll be calling them again in the future.

I have FINALLY found the best dog walker/​pet sitter in. LA! I have 2 big dogs and a cat.
2 very well behaved pets… and one is a complete menace! Powell has been excellent in not only pet sitting for me when I am out of town and giving me peace of mind, but also excellent with helping me with some behavioral issues with one of my dogs.
She is super responsible and a true animal lover. She dots her i“s and crosses her t“s when it comes to caring for your pet. My pets love her and I am so happy to find someone I can trust with my furry family when I am away!

Powell is amazing and she really cares about your animals. I recommend her as your pet concierge because she does go the extra mile. What I found with her service is that she is extremely attentive and ask the right questions to ensure your pets have the best experience. Her consultation was so detailed that I knew she really has been doing this for a long time. She offers great dog walking services and my pets get all the attention. My dogs have a little anxiety with other dogs so its nice that I know she doesn’t walk 10 dogs at the same time. She only spends the walk with my dogs and I feel this personal touch goes above and beyond other dog walkers. Thank you Powell for such great service! Definitely recommend her!

Very professional, and caring attention for our HIGH-​energy dog. Definitely give Powell a call for an interview. She’s personable, and knows how to handle dogs. When I’m on travel, I need someone I can count on to exercise our Australian Shepherd so she’s a good citizen when my wife gets home from work. A tuckered-​out dog at the end of the day is proof that the job was done right. Highly-​recommended.

We recently hired Powell to care for our new dog while we were away on weekend trip which was then followed by two week vacation. We returned to find our dog in great spirits and warm-​hearted updates on all her activities during our absense. During our extended trip, Powell went overboard to check in with us when she discovered an event of concern. Powell did an outstanding job and probably provided better care for our pet than we do. We were very, very pleased with PDR and Powell and recommend her to anyone who wants outstanding care for his or her pet. You can’t do better than Powell.

Powell was the first dog walker we’ve hired to walk our 2 Maltese dogs. My wife has had the same bloodline of Maltese in her family for 4 generations, so the dogs are less like pets, and more like family members. So, you can imagine entrusting these «pets» to someone else always seems to be met with trepidation. Powell, however, has helped to quell those fears.
Powell shows up before to meet you and your pets. She explains how she works by not walking 10 dogs at one time, only your dogs so that there isn’t any doggie drama. This also helps your pets feel a little more loved than they would if they were with 10 other dogs.
She gives you a packet with information about her and her company. She also is very detailed in getting as much information about you and your pets as she can. We left for a weekend, and upon our arrival, Powell had left a note detailing each pet’s experience, how long she played with them, how long she walked them, and how many times they pooped.
More affordable than a kennel, less stress on the pups, and less stress on us. Highly recommended.

Powell is always punctual and responsible in everything she does. I have been working with her for a couple of months, and she really goes out of her way to be helpful.
She even showed me 2 leashes that can be used for dogs that lessen the stress on the body when a dog runs while on the leash.
She literally brought these leashes to me so I could see them myself before purchasing. This was just one example where she goes «above and beyond» to provide great customer service.
I definitely recommend Powell and Paws and Pads.
