Jessica and her team will absolutely change your life. My husband and I were very nervous about…read moreleaving our "child" with a trainer, but after lots of research (and crossing paths with Jessica several times), we finally decided to meet her. A close friend had already used her services for training and weekly pack walks, and their dog loved it. That gave us the confidence to take the leap. From our first visit, Jessica was patient, kind, and answered every question we threw at her. She's passionate about animals, and it shows. She has the perfect mix of love and structure (helping dogs gain confidence) while also teaching them to respect their owners as pack leaders. Our one-year-old Brittany had a rough start in life, so we knew training would be extra important. With Jessica's guidance, she can now return when called, walk calmly on leash, hold a "place" command for long stretches, and thankfully...no longer jumps up on everyone. The changes have been incredible. The biggest thing we learned is that it's not just about the dog--it's about the owners putting in the consistency and following through with Jessica's instructions at home. Do that, and you'll see results. We're singing her praises to family and friends. Our dog absolutely adored her, and so did we. 10/10 recommend...life changing!

They also are "people-people" and can help owners better understand and support their dogs. My elderly mom has been using their dog walking services for many years, and not only does Sheba absolutely love her walks (and is better behaved while walking), but I also appreciate knowing that every week my mom is seeing extremely kind, friendly people who have come to know her and care about her as a person. One of their dog walkers also recognized when my mom wasn't doing well one day and helped her to call my sister! Their dog day care and dog socialization services are also top-notch. A trainer myself, I have referred many clients to them, and everyone I know has been thrilled with how well their dogs have done. I recommend them without hesitation!

Everything! Dr B. has been taking care of our dogs since we moved to Austin 14 years ago. We…read moreunfortunately lost my dog 6 months ago, a month shy of his 18th birthday. We firmly believe that if it weren't for Dr B. we would have lost him much sooner. He treated our dogs like they were his own and always made himself available when Max needed him.

I had great experiences with Furry Godmothers several years ago when I lived in a different home,…read morebut hadn't worked with them since. When a recent trip came up and our usual house sitter was unavailable, I was delighted to see that the 'mothers are still around and still loving on Austin's pets! Thanks to Jody for checking in on our cat daily while we were away. She is AWESOME at communication. First, there were a few emails and a questionnaire to get the ball rolling, then she came and visited our home and pets and gave me a few ideas for making the experience of being left home alone far less traumatizing for our cat. While we were gone, she sent a few email updates and a photo, including a request to inform her when we returned so she would know that we were okay and our pet was too. AND she emailed the next day to check in on our cat and make sure everyone was happy. Each time, she made us feel like our cat was the most important pet in the world -- which is exactly how we, as pet owners, feel! I can tell you that this is an uncommon level of care and communication, based on my experience with other pet sitting and boarding arrangements here in Austin. The rates were great too. I'm very grateful to the Furry Godmothers and so is our kitty! Thanks Jody!

I left my kitties in the godmother's capable hands for a week this summer. Since my cats are…read moreex-ferals and super suspicious of any newcomers, she apparently saw very little of them (they are excellent at hide and seek). So it wasn't too rewarding for the godmother. Nonetheless, all of our kits were safe, sound, well-fed and happy upon our return. Plus, she left us a very entertaining journal of their activities during our vacation-- and she tidied up after the little rascals. I'll definitely use the godmother(s) again whenever necessary.

I just want to say that Dr. Rodriguez at West Lynn Vet was amazing to our family this past year…read more She diagnosed a rare condition that had negatively altered our dog's behavior, demeanor, body and enjoyment of life. It had stumped two other vets and cost us a lot of money. They seemed to want to do endless tests and try endless things that never helped. Dr. Rodriguez took one look at her and knew. She seemingly miraculously gave us a lot of our old Sophie back. It was seriously was like living through one of the medical mystery stories in the New York Times Magazine. And sadly, just a few months after getting her (and us) some relief, she expertly guided me through the decision to let our dog go with kindness, knowledge, and sincere empathy. She stayed late to help us. And I'll never forget how she said sorry to Sophie and rubbed her paw before euthanizing her. What a doctor. I can't recommend her more.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about every person on this team. We found out in June my 9…read moreyear old Bernese Mountain dog has cancer. We were recommended to Dr. Weinstein by our primary vet. From the first moment we met with him, I knew we were in good hands. He explained everything thoroughly and even caught a heart arrythmia before getting surgery. The cardiology team was able to stabilize her heart and were SO communicative during the entire process. Dr. Weinstein provided us with resources to help with funding, let us know he was always available via email, and truly made a super scary situation feel less scary. Fast forward to her surgery day, the nurse, Travis, made us feel so comfortable dropping her off letting us know he would be with her until 6 PM and answered my 100 million questions. Her surgery was so quick and Dr. Weinstein then called us again with an update on how it went. That night we received an update text message from the nurses Jessica and Travis with a picture of our girl. When picking her up, Fame gave us an incredible rundown of how everything went, very clear instructions on how to take care of Sadie post op, and once again, answered my 100 million questions with patience. We even got a hand painted bag all the nurses signed and a little stuffed toy. I truly cannot thank this team enough for not only their exceptional care but the customer service aspect as well. It is heartbreaking to hear your dog has cancer, but this team truly goes above and beyond to make it as painless as possible. Thank you all so much. We are so thankful for you all!

My pup underwent radiation treatment initially back in December 2025 and they not only the most economical option I came across regarding treatment with an oncologist, but the level of care for my pet....the customer service was extremely on point. And the treatment worked! Unfortunately, remission only lasts so long and I went right back to them to inquire about following up and I was taken care of immediately and with the same level of care I experienced previously. I've read some negative notices on this thread and I don't discount anyone's previous experience. This is a business that has to deal with extremely sensitive situations and very sensitive times in people's lives and largely, insurance doesn't cover what we need for our pets. I'm fortunate enough to have the means to cover the expenses, but what I will say is VCA was extremely accomodating to my circumstances when other oncologists I approached definitely treated me as a cash grab. I usually don't write reviews, but felt compelled to put in a good word to support a local business as is typical here in Austin. When I see good people doing good work, especially during a time of hardship for me, I'll do what I can to spread the good word. Thanks again to the team at VCA for taking care of my pup and giving her an extension to her life, I'm forever grateful for your work and efforts.
