She not only fed Willow, but hung out with her and sent us updates on the Time to Pet app every day! With pictures! Willow hates everyone and she really warmed to Christie. I used to be one of those people who just got a friend to drop in and feed the cat and didn't think a pet sitter was necessary. Now, I will never go back. It was a huge load off my mind to know I had a professional on the job. Christie is a total animal person who obviously loves her job--and it shows in the professionalism of her service. Can't recommend B & R highly enough.

New Years eve my almost 17 yo Pug Maia is having trouble breathing, my vet is closed, emergency vet…read moredidn't open for another 3 hrs. I was in a panic. Then I remembered I boarded my dogs here a couple weeks prior,. I called & was told to bring her in now. Dr Schwarz comes into exam room,gives her a look over then listens to her heart & says I need to take chest Xray now. I knew @ that moment from the very concerned tone in his voice & the look on his face that my girl wasn't coming home. After he gave me a detailed explanation of the X-Ray he brought me to her. 2 of his staff were standing over my girl,one giving oxygen & slowly petting her & talking to her, the other also petting her, it appeared were assuring Maia they were with her. I had to make the decision to let my furbaby go. Dr Schwartz gave her the 1st shot & I was able hold her, hug her, stroke head talk to her, until the end. As upsetting & heartbreaking this was Dr Schwartz (who is not my dogs vet) could not have been more wonderful, compassionate, or empathetic. And this extends to all the staff who were there. I want to say THANK YOU for making this very upsetting situation "tolerable" with the kindness you extended to me, I deeply appreciated it. A few days later I get a sympathy card from Dr Schwarz w/ doggy footprints. Thank you, again Most deserving of a 5 -Gold Star rating

After using this practice for 5+ years, I'm happy to say we moved on. What started as a very fair…read morebusiness turned into chaos. Slowly, things like grooming and boarding shut down, the vet would always come in slurring, stumbling, drunk. Questions stopped getting answered. Appointments cancelled by them. I had tried to make an appointment in late June and was told to just go somewhere else. So I did.... In August I immediately get bombared with calls, texts, emails about how my pets are due for vaccines now. They continued to lie and pressure me about dates (my pets are not due until September). When I asked "I'll make an appointment but can you tell me what just happened for the last few months and why your staff advised me to seek elsewhere?" I was hung up on and never received another notice or message. Something really shady is happening at this poor excuse of a "practice".

Highly recommend!
