I have used Immediate Relief Pet Services since my dog Mars was an 8-week old puppy. This has mostly been Mars going on Axton's group outings, but I've also called on Axton to let Mars out for a walk or feed him when I've been in a bind. Axton's group outings gave Mars time to be active during work hours, instead of sitting in his kennel all day. Spending time with Axton was also instrumental to Mars' growth into a socialized dog. Mars had a jump-start on socialization BEFORE taking puppy classes, which gave him confidence around other dogs. It also let him get used to being around people who weren't his owner for long stretches of time. But the things that set Axton apart are his personal attention to your dog's care and needs, by going above and beyond: * Axton texts updates after each outing, describing what Mars did during the outing, which dogs Mars played with, and letting me know Mars is home and safe in his kennel. I also get 3-4 pictures of Mars enjoying his outing! * When Mars was a puppy and still working on bladder control, Axton would tell me when Mars had last gone to the bathroom, so I could better time my departure from work and know that Mars wouldn't have an accident. * Axton was also able to feed Mars food or medicine when needed after his outings, at a small extra charge. * Sometimes Axton would notice things that I hadn't caught on to, and alert me to them ("Your dog's harness might be a bit tight, you could probably loosen it"). All of this to say, Axton/Immediate Relief has been an amazing part of Mars' life, and a great relief to me as a pet-owner who works 9-5. If I need someone to help with my dog, I will absolutely be calling Axton first. read more

I've been using Immediate Relief Pet Services for almost a year. Axton takes my goldendoodle Zelda out on playdates twice a week while I'm at school, where she gets to run and play with other dogs. She LOVES these outings, and when Axton comes to pick her up (I've been home a few times), she is more excited than I've ever seen her! Axton is one of her favorite people of all time. Axton also feeds my chickens, cats, and fish when I am out of town. These visits don't just consist of a quick entry to put food in their bowls. Axton spends time with everyone, giving love and attention to each one. Litter boxes are always spotless when I return as well. After each visit or outing, Axton sends me a text with photos (they take the best photos of your pets ever!), an update on what they did during the visit or outing, and any additional info - this has included bringing in packages from the front porch, returning the garbage cans after pickup, and putting away a grocery order I had forgotten about. It's obvious how much Axton and their partner James love all animals, and the care they give to their clients' pets is above and beyond all expectations. I trust them completely with the care of all of my pets, and as long as they are in business I will never go anywhere else. read more

We have been using Immediate Relief Pet Services for several years now and couldn't be happier with them! We have three cats and two small dogs and it used to be we would come home from vacation and the cats would all be highly annoyed with us for being gone so long (they are HIGHLY social cats) and at least one of the dogs would be a complete anxiety-ridden mess. Ever since Axton took over it's like we've never been gone at all. They obviously consider him family and we are so grateful knowing how much they enjoy him. One of my absolute favorite things is that he sends pictures of their play time with a detailed description of how everyone was doing after each visit. My little dachshund especially is my baby so I just am able to enjoy my vacation time all that much more because of these little updates. He's reasonably priced, has never once not been available, even last minute, and is just lovely to work with. As most of our boys are getting up there in years too I know that if there comes a time that they need extra care I can absolutely trust that Axton will be super diligent and attentive to their added needs. I would recommend Axton to anyone. Your pets will thank you for it!!! read more

I've had the pleasure of knowing and working with Axton in personal and professional settings since 2013. I've never met anyone with as much passion and dedication to animals as Axton has. I don't feel it's a stretch to say that I would trust them not only with my animals life but with mine as well. The pictures they take are consistently amazing! The updates are heartwarming and reassuring! The level of professionalism with they're own personal touch is evident from the moment you first meet them. I would recommend Axton to anyone looking for any kind of animal care taking. Axton has done amazing work with my dog, my cats, and my rats. Even during the last days of some of my rats life they've been a constant source of sollice and support which to me is going far above and beyond what I've ever experienced or expected from anyone else I've ever worked with. 10/5! read more

Axton is truly wonderful with animals. They're kind, patient, compassionate, and you can tell they genuinely care about the pets they're looking after. One of the things I really appreciate about Axton is that they don't just do the basics and call it good. They pay attention to each animal's personality, routine, and needs, and they're willing to go above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. They're also thoughtful with special instructions, like feeding routines, medications, or pets who need a little extra patience and care. And I love that they'll do things the animal actually enjoys, like taking them on walks or to places they love, instead of treating pet care like a checklist. I'd absolutely recommend Immediate Relief Pet Services to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and genuinely good with animals. read more
