Paws N Claws is a professional pet sitting service first established in McKinney, TX - and then expanded to Florida - by husband & wife team Jeff & Donna Carpenter.
Our main goal is to keep all animals safe, healthy, and happy.
Paws N Claws provides you with the peace of mind that your pets will be cared for in the comfort of your home while you are at work, vacation, or for any reason.
We offer custom in-home pet sitting services and dog walking as well as house sitting services. We have customized packages to meet your specific needs.
So leave your fur babies in our reliable hands and enjoy yourself. Give us a call today for your free consultation.
Your initial consultation is free of charge. We will meet with you at your home to answer any questions you may have, and discuss which service options work best for you and your pet.
We will fill out paperwork and collect keys during this visit. If you require a second consultation the charge is $30.00.
Daily Dog Walking provides your dog an opportunity to get exercise, personal attention, affection and play while you are at work or busy with other errands. Research shows that dogs who have enough exercise feel less stress, exhibit fewer signs of separation anxiety, and have a healthier social temperament. In simple terms: a walked dog is a happy dog. When you hire Paws N Claws , we will tailor a dog walking program that is customized to meet your dog’s specific exercise needs.
Potty break visits are great for your senior dogs, or puppies that are in the potty training process.
Paws N Claws are puppy professionals. We will make sure your pups get the potty training they need, so you don’t need to come home in order to avoid an accident.
Potty breaks can be quick walks or yard time – whichever you prefer.
Going on vacation? Paws N Claws offers professional housesitting services for your pets who prefer to be pampered in their own environment.
We will provide the highest level of care while also maintaining the usual routine, familiar surroundings, and stability. Our main goal is to make sure your pets and your home are safe and secure while you are away.
While your away, Paws N Claws can stop by and make sure everything is A-OK. We will water plants, rotate your blinds and lights, anything else that makes your household appear inhabited as usual.
We’ll pick up your pet and drive them to wherever they need to go and back: a vet appointment, grooming appointment, a play date at the park… wherever it is they’re going, we’ll get them there and back home safely.
We require as much notice as possible to accommodate scheduling. Please feel free to reach out in an emergency and we will do our best.
Laura Vogel, Happy CustomerI can tell Jeff did a great job, Sweet Pea (my dog) calmed down within an hour after we got home. She was traumatized the other two times we left and took ... days to get back to her old self. This time, just a few hours. I love LOVE Paws N Claws!! You guys are wonderful!
Chelsea OeschOur cat, Misty loves the extra attention and love she receives from Jeff. He is able to offer personalized care while we are out of town. Jeff helps us by having one less things to worry about when traveling out of town! Thank you for everything!
Robin HawnJeff was great with my 3 babies! My dogs ages are 4,9, and 13. They took to Jeff immediately. He stayed the night with them and they even crawled in his bed with him! Bella, our 9 year old, takes medication, Jeff had no problem making sure she took her pills when she was suppose to. One of my dogs will have accidents in the house occasionally- I showed Jeff what to use if it happened, he knew exactly what to do. You can tell he truly loves animals. We will definitely be using Paws N Claws again! I can relax better when I'm away.
Jeff KohnleWe had an emergency last week had to go out of town that day. I texted Jeff from web site and he responded right away and took care of our pets that day.
Stephanie DukeThank you for taking such great care of our pets, It was like we were never gone.
David SynderJeff was recommended by a friend but he had not used Jeff yet so at first I was reluctant but, once I met Jeff & Donna I was very comfortable with them. Jeff did a fantastic job & exceeded my expectations. We were gone for 8 days. He sent daily texts, pictures & updates. When we got home the house was like we never left it. Floors were cleaned, sheets washed, bed made, garbage and mail taken in it was like we never left.
Sharon and Mark WeidemanJeff is the only one Princess likes outside of our family. When we are gone Princess loves having Jeff around!
Diane MccartyI had a dog walker for 9 years so at first I was reluctant if Rambo would adjust to a new walker. He bonded with Jeff in his first day. I now tell him in the morning Jeff is coming to walk him today and he perks his ears up like he understands.
Michelle CaballeroAs soon as I met Jeff and Donna I immediately felt relief knowing that my dogs would be in good hands. They are both kind and genuine dog lovers. My husband and I have crazy schedules and they have been so flexible with us when we need to make last minute changes. It’s not easy leaving our dogs for long periods, but I feel better knowing we have a pet sitter who is giving them good care! Thank you Jeff and Donna!
Marti SelgertMy 2 dogs were so lovingly cared for while I was out of town! I never worried about them as I knew Paws N Claws went above and beyond my expectations from previous care. I highly recommend them.
Casey EdwardsMy pack of 3 can be quite the handful. One of them takes a while to warm up to new people and Jeff had had such patience with her. And he plays ball with my big guy to make sure he gets enough exercise. We recently started using Jackie after Jeff moved to Florida and she has been just as great! You can tell they really care about the dogs which is very important. They also keep me updated with pictures/texts on each visit.

Corbett and Cheryl LeachWe have two airedale terriers who do not like to be kenneled. We used Jeff and Donna several times over the holidays.and our dogs loved them. The dogs were not stressed at all. We appreciated the daily texts updating us on our fur babies. We will definitely be repeat customers.
Dana HackleI felt confident my dogs were well taken care of over the weekend while I was out of town. Randy was so nice and sent me pics and kept me updated on my babies. Highly recommend their services.

Teresa & CindyJeff & Donna are great pet sitters. They take good care of our babies.
I developed my passion for animals as a child, growing up on a farm in Idaho. I left home to play football for University of Nebraska. Then I coached at Nebraska and several other universities. For twenty-five years since, I’ve been working in the sports technology industry as a regional sales manager, traveling and doing business with every college in the USA.
Donna and I have always been pet and animal lovers, and have had many dogs and cats in our home over the last 20 plus years. We currently have 3 dogs in our household: two rescues, Traveling has required a great deal of coordinating how to take care of our dogs while we’ve been out of town. When we would take our vacation for over a week or more, I hated leaving them at a boarding location, out of their environment. We discovered there was a real need for this business.
I’m thankful to be at a point in my life where I can retire early and pursue turning my love for animals into a business that Donna and I can enjoy together. We have the desire to cater to your pet’s individual needs. I promise we will care for your pets in a manner they’re accustomed to with service that is reliable, personal, and honest.
I've been an entrepreneur since the age of 27. I've owned and operated two antique and design stores in McKinney since 2000.
Working with people and delivering excellent customer service has always been a passion of mine. Jeff and I live busy lives with our family which includes our dogs Brewster, Scruffy, and Dexter. Two of them are rescues and they are all now seniors.
Over the years I've helped people with special needs pets. I know how hard it is to find someone with the expertise and knowledge to properly analyze and address their issues, if they arise. I have been pet sitting for friends and family for years and I'm so excited that I've been able to turn my passion into a full time business. I truly enjoy the company of pets and I look forward to providing you the utmost in care for you and your four legged family members.
I can’t remember a time in my life where I wasn’t around animals growing up all around the US. To date, I have moved 19 times in my life as a corporate brat and them as a VP of Marketing for a variety of Fortune 50 companies. The constants in my life have been my faith, my wife and the unconditional love of my dogs.
I’m thankful to be at a point in my life where I can devote my time and energy to taking care of your loved ones in the peace and quiet of your homes.
My wife, Jackie, and I thank you for the opportunity to take care of your babies.
We promise we will care for your pets like they are our own in a manner they’re accustomed to with service that is reliable, personal, and honest.
I have spent the last 39 years of my life taking care of and loving my babies, both two and four-legged named Randy (husband) Ryan (son), Lauren (daughter), Zoey-Rose, Halle-Jo and Elle-Rose.
Our lives have been so enriched by the unconditional love and loyalty of our fur babies. They have been instrumental in the lives of my children.
Working with people and animals is my passion. My passion for people has led me to become a Stephens Minister and to lead a bible study group at Preston Trail Community Church in Frisco. I have also had a chronic pain ministry that provided encouragement, hope and joy to men and women who were having a tough time.
I'm so excited that I've been able to work with my husband and manage the Paws ‘n’ Claws location for Jeff and Donna Carpenter.
We feel privileged to care for your loved ones.
