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.

I took my 2 beautiful Pomeranian dogs to her because it's super close to my place and she took me in short notice but it was the most horrific experience I had in my life with any service providers. Beside the fact that she have no idea about cutting hair , she shaved them to skin no blending and holes every where you look. I literally was about to cry when they came back, you can see in the photos and videos , she also work in super dirty place and my dogs came back all their skin with ticks and fleas and they never ever had one before ! When I contacted her and asked my money back instead of apologizing and send the money she had the balls to tell me " you don't know me and be careful for you life " attached messages photoscreen. I have no idea how she have good reviews I guess it's all fake or it's people that don't care about their dogs but I strongly suggest to STAY AWAY!!

I went back here for the first time in about 7 years. I 100% no longer recommend this business. It…read morehas went downhill dramatically. I should have known when I called to make an appointment and I could barely understand the woman that picked up with all of the dogs barking in the background. When I arrived, the smell of urine was so incredibly pungent it burned my nostrils. I had a KN95 mask on to protect from COVID and it still stunk terribly. There were multiple dogs trimmings all over the floor around her grooming table. It looked like she may live there, as there were stairs leading up and they had water jugs on all of them. There was residential furniture, etc. Her clothing was covered in so much hair. I understand that she's a groomer, but these were large chunks of hair. The place was cluttered and messy. I almost turned around and walked back out, but I figured that I had already gotten my arthritic old lab into the car and brought her in, let's just get this over with. Just a quick nail trim is all she needed, can't be too hard, right? Wrong. It is one giant room and the 9 or 10 dogs in cages and behind a baby gate room divider all barked loudly. So loudly that when I could not hear the woman helping me, she pulled her mask to the side and began talking super loudly/almost yelling, about a foot and a half from my face. Great. Hope she doesn't have covid. Then she told me that I would need to hold my dog for her. I've never had to hold my dog before at a groomer, but okay. She had me hold her on the filthy floor. I felt gross kneeling on it, as it badly needed a cleaning. She had clippers and a file. She decided to use the file, commenting that her nails were pretty short already. Not true, she was well overdue for a clipping. Her nails were all hitting the floor. It was super fine and did hardly anything. I commented that K&A usually uses a dremel file on her. She says she has one too. She gets it and returns. I tell her she is overdue for a nail trimming, as her nails are all hitting the floor (hint, hint). I also tell her we're trying to quick train her, so please go short. She says she doesn't want to cut her. I said no, just go until you see the white circles. She's a chocolate lab and has dark claws, so you can trim safely until the center of the nail shows some white. She didn't do that. The second file is also super fine/dull. It's taking for-ev-er. My dog is getting hot and somewhat antsy. The temp was super warm in there. I was sweating a bit. She finished a paw and the nails were still too long. I let her know they were still touching the floor. She did go back and redo those. She told me that she normally works on the table and it is easier to see what she is doing up there. I told her that is fine, if she wanted to do that, we could move her. She then tells me that I would have to hold her, she wouldn't collar her to it and I would need to accept responsibility if she fell. WTH? I'm not a groomer. I've never done that before. Let's stick to the floor. When she finally finished, they no longer touched the floor, but barely. It was only $11 and yet I feel ripped off. She had me use the back door to leave (to avoid walking through the frostbites drive through lane). She warned me the dogs would bark (as if they had ever stopped). The larger dogs barked, 2 more showed up and all 3 lunged into the plastic baby gate room divider that pushed forward/was unsecured as these dogs lunged toward my poor dog and she held them back. My dog was frightened. Never again. Why 2 stars? She was nice. That's the only reason. I left with a splitting headache and my nostrils have literally burned ever since. I didn't know urine could do that. It was awful. Never, ever again. Don't do it. BTW, K&A is great, as long as you ask for one of the owners. Their employees can be a bit hit and miss for nail trims. Still SO much better than this place.

Due to his temperament and age, we are highly selective of who takes care of him. We worry about his safety; and that of the dog sitter. We were referred to Home 2 Paws by a family member. We gave them the key to our house, some quick feeding instructions, and wished them good luck. We were absolutely delighted with the professionalism and care of Home 2 Paws. They gave us updates on their visits and even send us a few pictures of our dogs playing and relaxing. When we returned home our house was clean and the dogs were perfectly happy. We will definitely use Home 2 Paws again and will recommend them to our friends and family in the North Austin area. I think even Arnie would agree.

I can't recommend Wise Tails enough!…read more Before finding them, I'd already spent a lot of time (and money) trying different training approaches without the results I was hoping for for my 3 year old dog Sweet Potato, so I was honestly pretty hesitant to invest in training again. I researched for hours, talked with multiple trainers, and ultimately chose Wise Tails because of how knowledgeable, thoughtful, and genuine Cassie and Plennie were from our very first conversation. They took the time to understand my dog, my concerns, and helped me figure out what would actually be the best fit. One of my biggest goals was stopping my dog's jumping. After not seeing her for five weeks during training, I was fully expecting our reunion to be chaos. Instead, she stayed in her place and didnt jump at all. I genuinely couldn't believe it. It was one of those moments where you realize the training really works. I was also very nervous about using an e-collar. I had a lot of preconceived ideas and wanted to make sure I was doing right by my dog. Cassie and Plennie were incredibly patient, answered every question I had, and made sure I understood exactly how and why it was being used. They never made me feel pressured--they built my confidence every step of the way, and I now feel completely comfortable using it appropriately. Beyond the training itself, they're just wonderful people. I happened to do this while recovering from surgery, and they were incredibly understanding and flexible whenever I needed accommodations with scheduling and pickup. That kindness meant a lot during a stressful time. It's obvious how much they care, not just about training dogs, but about setting owners up for long-term success and doing things the right way. I'm so grateful I trusted them with my dog, and I'd recommend Wise Tails to anyone looking for trainers who are knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly invested in both you and your dog.

He would playfully attack anything he could get in his mouth, including us. My kids, especially our 5 year old, became afraid. We couldn't keep a dog in the house if it wasn't safe for our little one. We started working with Lhyra twice a week but quickly switched to a stay and train program (4 weeks). Lhyra made a world of difference! She was able to read him and understand his issues. Buddy came home with self control and it is AMAZING! We can trust him to be alone with our 5 year old. He is a wonderful family dog and we couldn't be happier. Lhyra was always available to us throughout the process. She kept us updated on his progress, including videos and photos. Now that Buddy is home, she follows up with us to help us maintain his training and I can contact her if we have any concerns or questions.
