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.

Absolutely purr-fect experience at Furever Friends Family. From the moment I contacted them to the…read moretime I picked up my fur friend, it was clear that this place is a wonderful place for pets and their humans. First off, it's impossible to find someone to groom a cat in this area. We had a situation and desperately needed help with our long-haired Siberian. Unlike every other groomer we contacted, Furever Friends Family couldn't have been kinder, more generous, or more accommodating. They squeezed us in for a same-day appointment without hesitating. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely love animals. They took the time to understand my cats needs, her personality, and ensured a tailored grooming experience. My usually anxious feline felt at ease almost immediately (and seemed to like them more than me!) The grooming itself was top-notch. My cat came out looking like a show-stopper. Additionally, the space is spotless. You can tell cleanliness is a top priority! I can't recommend Furever Friends Family enough. If you want a place where your cat will be treated with love and come out looking (and smelling) fantastic, this is it. Five enthusiastic stars!

The two guys I met are just great - they love dogs, very friendly and just the type of folks you feel safe and confident with when leaving your dog. They treated my dog very well and as any dog owner can tell you - you know immediately from your pet's reaction that you are dealing with genuine love for dogs. I don't know what (if anything) happened. I am also not a vet and cannot say for sure about cause and effect, but I know my 3 year old Lab very well and know what works and what does not work. When we arrived we had two packs of our dog's food. The guy who received her seemed somewhat surprised that we were bringing food. We picked up our dog at 7pm. By the time we got home, our pet began with severe diarrhea. She kept us up half the night and needed to go out frequently. At one point she was unable to control herself forcing a house cleaning at 2am. The problem lasted until the morning when her digestive system has been completely emptied. Okay... maybe a virus, I don't think so. Her temperature was normal and there was not vomiting. I have previously seen this in my dog two times. On both occasions it was the result of giving her food for which she was not accustomed. Again, I don't want to pin something bad on what seems to be very competent and real good folks. However, I do not think I am making a mistake. My dog either got a hold of another dog's food, my instructions were not followed, or one of the guys with all good intentions gave a treat that did not sit well. The reason I left the food is because I am aware of how my dog reacts - perhaps I should have impressed this more, yet they too should have been more careful. So, in the future please consider the importance of what is being fed to a pet. With that said, I would in a second bring my dog back. I do think that this is a quality boarding and day facility.
