She not only fed Willow, but hung out with her and sent us updates on the Time to Pet app every day! With pictures! Willow hates everyone and she really warmed to Christie. I used to be one of those people who just got a friend to drop in and feed the cat and didn't think a pet sitter was necessary. Now, I will never go back. It was a huge load off my mind to know I had a professional on the job. Christie is a total animal person who obviously loves her job--and it shows in the professionalism of her service. Can't recommend B & R highly enough.

They did a wonderful job with socializing her and starting her off on training. The facility itself is beautiful. It's very clean and well staffed.

Highly recommend!

I recently saw negative reviews so I wanted to add in- Dr. Weckesser and Dr. Shulman are fantastic!…read more They are always understanding and validating when I have a concern, even if based in anxiety. When my one cat passed and my anxiety was heightened regarding my other cats, they were understanding. They take time to explain things in a way that makes sense. No- the office is not "money hungry." Plenty of times, I have called and asked if certain things are worth coming in for or if can be treated at home. The office will call back in a timely manner, and advise me after consulting with a doctor or tech. They have helped my pets and I avoid many trips (financially great but my guys now hate car rides) Even after moving, I kept coming here. Sure, my cats don't like the car rides but their integrity, skill, and character are worth it. Thanks for everything RAH!

I had such a negative experience at Community Animal Hospital - between the price gauging,…read morereceiving curses on instagram from their underpaid staff, ignorance of Dr. Redden who told me he had no idea what kind of food to give a cat for kidney disease and told me to perform primary research after verbally abusing me (I was told this is his usual demeanor), I was apprehensive with this animal hospital. Talk about a new world! For the first time, my cat wasn't feral in the foyer or with any of the vets and staff at Rhinebeck Animal Hospital. The level of caring, compassion, knowledge, and experience by every one of the staff at Rhinebeck Animal Hospital is stellar. I realized what a sh*tshow Community Animal Hospital is in comparison! Customarily, my cat has to be sedated and contrary to Community Animal Hospital, it didn't take 1-2 days but 1-2 hours to recover. There's a lot more, especially paying 67% less on fees - the estimates were right on target unlike Community Animal Hospital which changes estimates on a whim. Most importantly, I was informed that my cat's lab work revealed a reversal of his kidney disease in the one year since he's been a patient at Rhinebeck Animal Hospital. That's not only a miracle, but a testimony to them!
