Testimonials

Joanne and Precious Cat 12/7/2011 Pawsitive Steps has taken care of my sweet Precious Cat several times since March, 2011. Every time, they provide her with excellent and loving care. They always play with her and love her up! They also send wonderful text updates and pictures! Precious’s interactions with Pawsitive steps have brought her out of her shy little shell too. Precious used to be super shy to strangers until Pawsitive Steps came along. She’s no longer The Shy Little Kitten.
RatePoint Reviewer 11/29/2011 I just wanted to let you know what a terrific job Cissy does.  She intercepted a problem with the sprinkler system, and I was so glad she was on the case.  Of course, I can tell Moby and Sara had a great time as well–they were calm and collected when I got home after 5 days away. Regards, Linda
Brooke 11/21/2011 I took a weekend trip and had Pawsitive Steps come over to walk and feed my Georgie while I was gone. I was grateful Monica texted me every day to report on her visits. George got to stay home and still see his friends in the neighborhood, and I knew he was in good hands.
Allison  – Nashville, TN 11/14/2011 I could not be happier.  My first experience with Pawsitive Steps was excellent.  I got daily text updates from our sitter, Brittany, and I could tell she really does love animals.  I felt good about the care our dog was getting.   Lola, doesn’t do great with boarding, so it was nice to know I wouldn’t be coming home to a stressed-out dog.  It was really nice to be able to come home on a Saturday afternoon and not have her held hostage for another two days at the vet or a kennel.  I would recommend Pawsitive Steps without reservation – they’re professional and caring; the total package.
Hogans Dad 10/26/2011 We have been using the Pawsitive Steps Team for about 6 months now and have been so happy with the level of attention our 10 year old golden, Hogan receives, not to mention his parents. Reserving our dog sitter to come to our condo online is so easy and convenient. We can write our notes online and special request like this one which I wrote tonight before our trip out of town this weekend. “Please send picture text to parents and give him a peanut butter bone!”   Our dog is old and does not want to run around outside, instead the Pawsitive Steps team hangs out with him inside, rubs his belly and plays with him for a while. You can absolutely trust Mahalie and her team, dont waste your time looking for another pet sitting company, you can count on this one.  Nick S.   
Courtney Dial 10/25/2011 I’m so thankful for finding Halie, Sarah, and the Pawsitive Steps team. They’ve been nothing but professional, and I feel so much better knowing my puppy has someone coming to take him on a walk when I’m out of the house on busy days. As a growing puppy, he needs that “romp + play” time and Sarah has absolutely stolen his heart! He loves having her come take him out! I’m so excited to have found Pawsitive Steps! 
parker 10/24/2011 Let’s be honest here, yes Halie and her team are great with dogs and are super friendly and those things matter but what I really want to know is can I trust you with my dog and a key to my home. The answer with Pawsitive Steps is YES! These girls have been great and we feel super comfortable leaving for days at a time knowing that our pups will be taken care of. My trust isn’t easy to earn but Halie and her team have done it!
Brendan 6/30/2011 Halie and her team run the most professional, reliable and friendly pet services I’ve ever worked with.  I moved to Nashville about 9 months ago with my rescue pit bull and didn’t know what to do, given how much time I’d be spending away from home at work.  I found Pawsitive Steps online and they took care of everything, helping me with the adjustment, working through my schedule with me to find the best way to keep my little girl happy and stimulated throughout the day. They were always there for me, no matter what and I’m hugely grateful to them.  I cannot recommend this company highly enough- a true gem in Nashville.
Carla 6/16/2011 I went out of town for several nights last week to a wedding out of town. Elizabeth stayed with my miniature/standard dachshund, Harley. Harley does not like to be boarded, so when I found pawsitive steps I was very happy. Elizabeth stayed overnight at my house with Harley…she also came by several times a day to check on Harley, play with her, and let her out to go to the restroom. When I arrived home on Sunday night, Harley was very happy! She seemed like she had a great time and was not stressed I had left her! I also was glad to see the “dog walking report card” that Elizabeth had filled out each day to fill me in on what Harley had been up to on a daily basis. I am so glad I found your service, I will definitely recommend them to friends and relatives.
Kristen & Donald Ouellette 6/16/2011 My husband and I recently got married at the Historic Cedarwood, and because they are pet-friendly, they recommended that we check out Pawsitive Steps for pet taxi and wedding day dog handling services. We couldn’t be happier! We were thrilled to have Pawsitive Steps coordinate and handle our girls during our big day. Jennifer did a great job as she taxied our big girls (Lab shepard mix, and a German Shorthaired Pointer) to and from the ceremony site, handled our (somewhat excited) girls for the ceremony, and she made sure that they were well taken care of. My husband and I didn’t have to worry about a thing, and we were able to enjoy having them be a part of our day without feeling the stressors that sometimes go with dog handling.
RatePoint Reviewer 5/19/2011 I love so glad I heard about Pawsitive Steps. I can finally relax knowing that even when I am gone my little girl will be taken care of. Amber is so sweet and I know Ruger just loves spending time with her!
jeanie 5/15/2011 I’m so glad I found pawsitive steps!  Halie is so organized and professional.  Amber watched my girls and I was totally impressed, she is very accommodating!  You can tell they both really love animals.  My babies seemed happy when I returned and the house looked great.  I can breathe easier knowing that pawsitive steps is out there for me and my girls!
IconNashville 5/12/2011 Mahalie has always taken great care of my dog and has very reasonable prices.  I have and will recommend her to all of my friends for years to come.
RatePoint Reviewer 4/30/2011 Jennifer was awesome, even sent me pictures of our fur babies, letting me know that were okay.  Thanks so much!
Lisa Vaughn 1/7/2011 Jennifer & Mahalie are wonderful pet-sitters!  Mahalie went out of her way to provide me with emergency pet sitting for my JRT.  We were first-time customers and everything went smooth as butter!  Jennifer was there for my dog several times daily and I could be out of town and enjoy my trip knowing that my dog was being cared for lovingly and professionally.  These girls have really got their act together.  Use the services of Pawsitive Steps with complete confidence that your pet will be lovingly cared for in their own home, without the hassle and anxiety of being “boarded”.  Thank you from a new customer who is extremely glad to have found you!
Carolyn Snider 12/30/2010 Have enjoyed Pawsitive Steps and I would be delighted to recommend them to anyone…However,  the number of “rules” for using the software and service is beginning to be intimidating..My dog Sophie is always well cared for and the trust level is very high..No problems mate except the software .  Thanks Carolyn Snider
Shannon Schwarz 12/30/2010 Halie has been great with my dogs. She even came over to meet them before we went out of town to make me feel more comfortable. My Min Pin is a diabetic and Halie had no problems giving her insulin twice a day. Other pet sitters and day care refused to give injections. I would highly recommend Pawsitive Steps to anyone needing excellent care for their pets. 
Foxy Brown 12/20/2010 They are awesome.  Have been a very satisfied customer for the last six months.  They are very professional.  They are very punctual and our dog loves the walks.  We have never had any problems.  Halie always emails or calls back immediately if there are any questions or concerns.
Elise Veazey 12/14/2010 I have been very happy with Pawsitive Steps.  While out of town I can rest easy knowing my “babies” are in good hands!
Anna 12/14/2010 I am so glad I found out about Pawsitive Steps. I adopted a puppy from Love at First Sight, and Halie came highly recommended from their staff and veterinarians. It was absolutely the right choice. Halie is extremely professional and an expert in organization and communication. Halie visited me at home for a consultation and took a lot of time to make sure all the personal needs were met of my young puppy. She then visited my house with her neighborhood walker in the first week so they could then be trained in my particular specifics. As my puppy grew older, they still visited my home for the 30-minute “walk” but changed the activity based on my needs for the day (feeding, playing, walking, etc). They always left a positive and informative note about what they’d done during their visit that day.   I will also say that Halie never missed an appointment and always came within the requested appointment time frame. Even on rainy, cold, or snowy days, they were able to make it.   Halie is extremely responsive to different owner’s needs and will quickly email, call, or text back to answer any questions I had or inform me of any updates regarding service or charges. The online system also made it easy for me to review, edit, and change any appointments, as well as pay electronically each month.   Overall, I am so glad Halie and her team were able to be part of my puppy’s first year. I am certain they are just as in love with my little dog as I am, and provided consistent care as if they were taking care of their own animal, or even family member.   Thank you Halie!
John L. 10/25/2010 Halie and her team have been taking care of my dog Lincoln for several months. They are great, and give me tremendous peace of mind when I can’t be there with my pup.
RatePoint Reviewer 10/23/2010 Fantastic service.  Short notice, or scheduled a week in advance – they come reliably & on time.  On-line scheduling system & billing make it real easy to work with.
RatePoint Reviewer 10/12/2010 Love that I have a service that comes to my house to take care of my dog. They are always available, even last minute.
Amy D. 10/10/2010 Darby looks forward to Halie and her staff walking her during the week.  I know she’s in good hands while I’m at work and it gives me peace of mind.
Mary and Maddie…and Toby 10/10/2010 Halie and her staff are wonderful!!!  They are very caring and patient with my 13 year old lab.  I know Maddie is in good hands with Pawsitive Steps!!  Thanks so much!
Nestle & Melissa 10/8/2010 Nestle LOVES her new friend Jennifer.  The daily “report cards” are great and I don’t know what I’d do without Pawsitive Steps!  Thank you for taking such great care of us!
Molly P. 10/8/2010 Keep up the great work Halie.  It was wonderful to meet you and you are a pleasure to work with.
