If you live in Alpine, you already know how special Natural Instincts is…read more Angela is truly one of a kind. Her love for animals is obvious in everything she does. I constantly see her going out of her way to help reunite lost pets with their families, posting across multiple community groups, scanning animals, and doing whatever she can to help. Today, while driving my daughter home from school, we spotted a tiny Chihuahua running in the middle of the road. We immediately picked it up tried to find its home. Unfortunately, we couldn't figure out who the owner was so we took it straight to Natural Instincts. Angela scanned the dog for a chip, and when none was found, she took photos of it, posted in local groups near where the dog was found, and before long, we were able to locate the owner. What really touched me was that she didn't just scan and send us on our way. She gave us a harness and leash so the little pup would be safe and secure while we searched for its family. This is who she is. This is how she runs her business. Natural Instincts isn't just a pet store. It's a place run by someone with a genuine heart for animals and the community. The shop is absolutely adorable, they offer grooming, and when we were there, we even saw two beautiful black kittens available for adoption. We need more businesses and more humans like this in our communities. If you can, please support Natural Instincts!

When I called to schedule an appointment for my mini Sheepadoodle, I was questioned about why it had been five months since her last visit. She is still a puppy, I prefer to keep her coat longer, and I regularly bathe and groom her myself. I also clearly stated that she was not matted. However, upon arrival, the groomer immediately began checking her over as if expecting to find matting. She did not I then explained that I wanted her to maintain a sheepdog look while having her coat shortened slightly for the warmer weather. When I picked up my dog, she had been completely shaved down and nothing like what I had asked for. Even more upsetting, she appeared frightened and anxious. I have never seen her react this way after a grooming appointment. She stayed glued to my side the entire evening, which is very unlike her. The groomer chose the quickest option without regard for my instructions or my dog's comfort. I expected professionalism and care, and unfortunately received neither.

We had a 7 day trip to Kauai during the thanksgiving week which tuned into 10 days due to plane delays. Matt and Alicia were there every day twice a day to take care our our precious dogs. They gave the dogs much needed attention, every morning and night. They fed them and made sure they were safe for the night. When we didn't come home as planned due to delays they were there to make sure the dogs were taken care. Alicia is very professional and took pictures daily updating me on my dogs well being. Matt played with them and my dogs just licked him and loved him. I was very pleased with Family Pet Sitting and I would highly recommend them. We don't go many places due to having the two dogs. I would definitely use their services again.

They are a wonderful family of loving kind people who have lavished my pets with attention. They go above and beyond, bringing in packages from the porch, making special gifts for my pets and family. I can't say enough good things about them.

He got excellent care, from the front desk to the prescribed lab work. Living in the backcountry this was my 4th experience with snakebite. I know what the costs are, and they were definite in line. Antivenin is VERY expensive (approaching $1,000 per dose), and has a short shelf life. Most vets don't have it in stock, and the Emergency vets are super expensive. Cooper spent the night. I got two calls from them updating me on his condition. He was stabilized and his labs came back good after the first antivenin injection. I picked him up the following afternoon. I am very grateful for the staff and the quick attention he received. My total cost was $3000. I know-- yikes. But like I mentioned, I've had 4 dogs snake bitten over the years. This was not unreasonable at all; I expected more based on those previous bite treatments.

Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances, we were not able to complete our eight-week training plan, but Cara was completely understanding and refunded me for the remaining sessions. I was beyond grateful that she was so understanding of situation. Cara has a genuine love for animals, and it shows in every interaction. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and results-driven dog trainer, look no further. I'm so grateful for the transformation in my dog's behavior (even in the short time we spent training together) and I would recommend Cara for anyone struggling to train their dog basic obedience, or develop a relationship with their new puppy, and much more!

We love the learning environment she fosters for the kids, and the small details. I've notice such growth in my toddlers since she's been around.
