We have been pleased with their service and have worked with two different pet sitters since we moved last year and were out of the range of our first sitter. Whenever the pet sitters have visited, we always receive regular updates either via text or the pet portal feature on All Friends Pet Care's web site. The pet portal also is used to book visits and ask any questions, and AFPC always answers questions quickly. We are very thankful that our friend recommended All Friends Pet Care, as they really do a wonderful job taking care of our pets!

And when it came time to say goodbye the emergency department for after hours visit was extremely respectful and helpful.

It has taken me months to find the emotional strength to write this review. My beloved bunny,…read moreBahnaynay, was part of our family for nearly ten years. Losing him was devastating. What happened at Pender during his final moments made an already heartbreaking day even more painful. I am sharing this because no other family should ever experience what we did. First, I want to recognize Dr. Angela. She was wonderful. She knelt on the floor with us, spoke gently and compassionately, and helped us understand that further treatment would only temporarily prolong Bahnaynay's life. She helped us face the decision we were dreading. I will always be grateful for her kindness. Unfortunately, the veterinary technician who assisted with his euthanasia showed a shocking lack of sensitivity. Bahnaynay had been in oxygen, and he looked so much like himself, alert, eating, and beautiful. I was overwhelmed with fear and grief. Then, completely out of the blue, the technician said, "I love sticking bunnies with needles." Those were her exact words. I think she meant that rabbits are easier to inject because of their skin, but I cannot imagine a more inappropriate thing to say to someone preparing to lose a beloved family member. Because euthanasia for rabbits was unfamiliar to me, I asked several times for the process to be explained. Dr. Angela had explained it, but I was distraught and struggling to comprehend what was happening. I felt the technician becoming impatient with my questions. I wasn't asking because I wasn't listening. I was asking because my heart was breaking. After Bahnaynay received medication to make him sleepy, I held him on my lap, stroked his fur, spoke to him, and told him how much I loved him. The technician said I should ring the bell when I was ready. When I asked again what would happen next, she said she would take him to the back and "finish him off." "Finish him off." Those were her exact words. I was holding my precious bunny as he was slipping away, and that was how a veterinary professional described the next step. I didn't fully process those words until the following day. Now I cannot forget them. I find that language disgusting, profoundly insensitive, and completely unacceptable in end-of-life care. Then I learned that Pender had donated Bahnaynay's carrier without ever calling to ask whether I wanted it back. I left the hospital sobbing. I had just lost my bunny; I wasn't thinking about his belongings. It wasn't about the money. It was HIS carrier. I wanted to look inside for even a few strands of his fur to keep. A simple phone call could have prevented another heartbreak. Once I could speak about the experience without immediately breaking down, I called Pender and spent approximately 15 minutes explaining everything. The woman who listened was kind and told me someone would call me back. No one ever did. Not one call from leadership to acknowledge what happened. You only get one chance to help a family say goodbye to someone they love. There are no do-overs. The words you choose, the compassion you show, and the dignity you give an animal and the family who loves them become memories that last a lifetime. For veterinary staff, euthanasia may be part of the job. For a family, it can be one of the worst days of their lives. They deserve patience, tenderness, and respect. Bahnaynay deserved a peaceful, dignified goodbye. So did we. My one comfort is that I held him in my arms, petting him and telling him he was loved during his final moments. I will treasure that forever. Dr. Angela showed us the compassion we needed. The technician's words, the disposal of his carrier without contacting us, and Pender's silence afterward destroyed my trust. I will never return. I am not asking anyone to undo the impossible. I am asking Pender to take this seriously so another grieving family never has to carry these memories. Bahnaynay's life mattered. His final moments mattered. And the way we were treated mattered, too.

Archie went to camp with Gina for three weeks and came home a different dog. I'm still a little…read moreamazed. He's a five-pound chihuahua who shakes when someone new walks in the room and basically lived on my lap or behind my knees. I'd worried a trainer would either give up on him or scare him worse, but from the very first day Gina put so much thought into making him feel safe. She texted that afternoon to say he'd already jumped into her daughter's arms. When he barely ate the first couple days and I got worried, she talked me through it and told me he'd come around, which he did. She took him on long walks around the park and the neighborhood to burn off his nerves before she ever asked anything of him. His crate became his safe spot at her house, a familiar place that was all his in the middle of a busy home with other dogs and parrots and training going on. And she started him on tiny, predictable rules, sitting before a door, coming when called, so he always had something he understood to hold onto in a new situation. She explained that for an anxious dog, knowing what to expect is half the battle. She also refused to pick him up every time he got scared, and warned me that part would be harder for me than for him. She was right. Somewhere around the second week he started smiling in the photos. He was hanging out with her little dogs and her family, going on field trips to the park and coffee shops, staying on his place while she walked away, heeling next to her. He knows sit, place, heel and here now, and he does them for me too. The turnover at my apartment took a couple hours and it was real work. She sat me down and explained everything before we ever touched the dog, then had me practice with Archie while she corrected what I was doing wrong. She's kept sending reminders and answering my questions since, including a few dumb ones about shampoo and brushes. Here's the part I still can't get over. We went to a party a couple weeks after he got home, which is a huge deal for Archie. He sat on other people's laps. He licked hands. He barely cowered. Six weeks ago he would have spent the whole night shaking under my chair. Everyone at the party noticed and commented on the change in his demeanor. I was a proud mama that day! If your dog is the anxious type, the one who hides, trembles, won't eat around strangers, or has to be carried everywhere, I really want you to hear this. A lot of trainers are set up for big confident dogs and don't know what to do with a scared little one. Gina does. She never rushed him, never forced him, and never made me feel silly for babying him all these years. She reads a nervous dog and meets them where they are, then slowly builds them up until they can handle the world on their own. That's exactly what Archie needed. I honestly feel like Gina is just getting started with him, and I'm already thinking of when I can work with her again. If you have a tiny, anxious dog and you're on the fence, go with Gina. Archie is a different dog and so am I. Thank you again for everything you did for him, and for me. Archie sends smooches. Sheri

I can't say enough good things about Brandi and Perry Bailey of RSK9. Their work has given my pup…read moreand I so much freedom and balance. Pebbles (blue heeler, 1.5 years old) would never listen to me, would not sit or lay still, and had a lot of other obedience issues that caused her to be stressed or confused. She was a TOUGH dog to train and I was concerned I couldn't find the solution for her to get basic concepts. This view has completely changed since working with RSK9's 3 week program. I would HIGHLY recommend them and their methods - you can tell they genuinely love working with dogs and it's made a huge difference in giving my dog the chance to find real rest at home. They send DAILY updates with photos and videos which was so nice. This isn't a regular class or something you just pay for; it's truly an investment that you and your dog will be using for the time you get to share together. Side note: it's worth doing 3 weeks versus 2 weeks. At the 2 week mark is when Pebbles really started to understand her marks and cues. From here there is so much more that can be refined and Brandi/Perry really capitalize on that threshold being crossed!
