I have a 6 month old pup named Ellie who needed some basic obedience training and conditioning for…read morewhat seemed like simulated separation anxiety. I talked to John on the phone about the type of training he thought she would need. Just through the phone conversation I learned a lot about what he was able to do for our family but also for my pup. He gave me some advice over the phone that I could start practicing with her. Even though my zip code was a few miles out of what their website says they cover, he still was willing to travel down to my house for training. He has a package of 3 initial trainings(which he says is usually all most people need) and then additional ones if needed. I was looking around at petco/petsmart trainings but they did not seem like they'd be helpful since theres only one person with up to like 5 dogs and the things they were teaching seemed like stuff I could just find online myself. After our first hour and a half of private session and consultation, my little Ellie has shown tremendous( if not the most I've seen in this short amount of time) improvement! I also actually have a structure of a training regimen I can practice with her now until the next two sessions which are flexible in timing. ALSO, he brought toys, treats, and chews for Ellie to use for her training and to keep afterwards! Great surprise! HIGHLY recommend their in home training with John. He has extensive knowledge on training and understands the way dog's minds work and how they communicate which is very important when bonding and training your dog. It is also private 1 on 1 training so the whole hour and a half is all focused on your dog and it's needs unlike the retail store training. It is all positive reinforcement training so nothing negative! I am already confident that this was worth the time and money only after our first session and about as much as I would've spent on the petco or petsmart training! Sure it is half the amount of classes I'd be getting but the quality covers down. Not trying to knock the big chains, but the training just isn't the best out there. TIP: the phone # on their website was out of service as of 5/18/18 so I'd use their contact section to leave a message and they will call or email you back within a few days

I wouldn't even ask my friends to come into care for my pets! My senior cat always runs and hides ( she has always been a scaredy-cat ) But for the other cat, Marci is the highlight of her day ;) I've been using Marci and her staff/service for about 6-7 years I believe. She is accommodating in every way. No matter if I'm planning a vacation out of state or have a last minute emergency, I can count on her to check I on my Fur Babies! She is very loving towards my cats and treats them like her own...as expected...and I always get updates with pictures, which is an added bonus!! Who wouldn't want a picture of your pet while you are away! On extended visits away, she is nice enough to get the mail, water the plants and check the house for any break ins or if something is out of place. I have not met a more professional ,compassionate,knowledgeable person with such a big heart for animals and their owners! Thank you Marci and staff for everything!!!!

Since our first meeting and subsequent engaging of their services we have found Albert and Precious Paws to be responsive to questions and changes that have come. Albert has helped us figure out the best ways to come alongside our mom to help with daily tasks (laundry, light cleaning, dog poop pickup, etc), but is done in a way that is not overbearing and allows mom to feel respected and not less than because she needs help. We are grateful Precious Paws has come alongside us and mom is now being provided the best help for this time in her life. Thank you Precious Paws! (Ormond Beach, Florida)

Also, the vet charged A LOT, especially because the oldest one is a diabetic and required a daily insulin injection. I found Kathy, who came highly recommended from another pet sitting service that did not do medical and actually had Kathy watch their own pets when they were out of town. She made her 1st visit with us just to do all of the paperwork, meet they "kids", all of which was very thorough! She covered many items, some we did not even think of! She was very pleasant and professional, we were very impressed! She checked in with us everyday with a checklist of what was done and how everyone was doing. The kitties were very happy when we returned. The portal she used for checking in, updates and even photos was extremely helpful, easy and convenient to use. We will definitely use her again for our future vacations! Thank you Kathy for your loving care of our fuzzy kids!
