I adopted a puppy from them recently. I went in on a Saturday and did all the paperwork. I was…read moreexcited to be able to take home this precious little guy. he was only 7 weeks old. I noticed that he was not eating anything when he was at the adoption place. and would just go to his bed and fall asleep. I thought it was because all his brothers and sisters had got adopted and he was missing his litter mates. when I got him on the Saturday. He still had not ate anything. I figured it was stress and anxiety from being in a new environment. However, that was not the case. by Sunday he could not keep his balance and would just lay in his bed. I knew something was not right. Monday morning i called VCA and told them the issue. I had an appointment with them that Monday in the afternoon but wanted to get my little guy in asap I was scared and worried about him. VCA took him back and advised me that he was sick and needed to stay with them. I then got a call that same after noon and was told he did not make it. VCA was so wonderful and said that he should have been sent over to be looked at before they sent him home with me. So please please when you adopt a puppy or kitten from this place make sure you get them checked before you take them home. I am heartbroken that I lost my little guy. thank you so much love at first sight for making me an emotional reck and making my first experience with you a disaster.

Really sad that I have to leave a review like this…read more We walked in to meet the kittens and I fell in love with the little orange one. I come from out of town and also work for the airlines so I have travel benefits. Not to mention, I also work with a nonprofit where we transport animals from one state to another for foster and adoptions. When I told the woman at this adoption center my situation, she explained that all the animals there needed to be covered with VCA across the street for a full year. And that if I wanted to take the kitten, it would be about $900 That. Is. Insane. So we walked across the street to VCA for clarity. Not only were they shocked that we were told $900, they also seemed confused so they called the woman on the phone. Upon speaking with her, they explain to me that she will not adopt out to anyone who lives more than an hour outside of Nashville. And that the fees are $750 for 1 year of medical bills at VCA. We go back across the street a second time and ask the woman if we could get her a letter from my veterinarian explaining that the kitten would be in perfect hands and if we could please adopt her for a reasonable flat fee and take her elsewhere for care. The woman changes her story AGAIN and says that she won't adopt the kitten out because she only has 2 and wants to stay open through the weekend. That I can try another facility since it's kitten season. Are you serious? The fact that there are people like her who claim to care about the well-being of their animals, when in actuality it's just a money making business, disgust me.

I was lucky enough to get a tour OFSDS and this place is unlike any dog shelter I've ever seen, It's truly a sanctuary. They only cater to senior pups that we're either turned in, found, or the owner is no longer capable of caring for the dog. Every room here has a purpose; there areas for dogs who are missing limbs, blind or going blind, large outdoor areas for bigger pups, and even an indoor sensory area for dogs who are sensitive to bright lights and loud sounds. In this same sensory section is a water tank with a treadmill inside to help overweight pups get lean. They also have a huge restaurant sized kitchen, where they prepare and create food for dogs with dietary issues. I could go on forever about Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary, but you really should just experience it for yourself. They are always looks for dog loving volunteers!

Following a death in the family, we needed last minute dog care, ASAP. I had to leave town, but my…read morehusband was staying to work. Unfortunately, he has a 35 minute commute which meant he would be gone for 10 hours a day. We didn't want to board them since he'd be there overnight but don't have anyone we felt we could impose on to walk the boys. Enter Google.... which lead me to Critter Care's website. I called Kimberly and explained the situation. We made an appointment for the next morning. As soon as we met I felt comfortable with her being in our home and taking care of our dogs. We've never had a pet sitter before and I wasn't sure how I'd feel allowing someone to come in our home without us being there. She put my mind at ease and was very attentive and overall has a calming nature. The dogs liked her right away, which I took as a really great sign! Since we have pugs, we didn't necessarily need them walked. What they really need during the day is a potty break and loads of attention. I could tell this wouldn't be a problem with Kimberly as she'd owned a pug in the past and knows their dispositions. We initially elected to have her come once a day, though she typically will come by twice. Once we realized how long the dogs would be alone, I called her to see if it would be possible to change plans. She was very flexible and accommodating despite the fact we changed times on her a few times! She's quick to respond to phone calls or texts if you don't get her on the first try. We are just so thankful to have found Critter Care and were pleasantly surprised at our last minute arrangements. If you live in the area, there's no other choice you should be considering. Her prices are very reasonable and it's so nice to be able to have your pets cared for at home where they are comfortable. Kimberly is the greatest and we will definitely be using her again.

Overall Kimberly treated our animals well. If you hire her to come twice a day, she will come early…read morein the morning and then again in the early afternoon. The dogs were fed and exercised in the back yard for probably 20-30min. We did have one experience when one of the pups pooped in the house (which is not normal), but then again they are used to going out 5 or 6 times every day. As far as how she treated us as customers, that could have been better. She sends text messages letting you know that the dogs have been out, which is nice, but if you do not text her back she has a bit of a come apart. She also requires that you let her know when you've made it home. I thought that was a little weird, but I could understand that she was looking out for the dogs best interest. In my experience she will come out on short notice, but she let me know it was inconvenient and that I "should do a better job of giving her notice."... okay, point taken... I also noticed when I got home that our furniture would be moved ever so slightly. Like the recliner or the rug would just be pulled away from where it was 1 or 2 feet from where we had it. I thought that was a bit weird too, but the dogs were okay so it wasn't a huge deal. We finally had an instance a couple of weeks ago where my wife and I were off to North Carolina to get married. This time we brought the dogs with us, but I have a couple sugar gliders that needed some attention while we were gone. I called her on the way to North Carolina just to go over the instructions I left her. While on the phone with her I realized that I had forgotten to leave her a check. I asked her if I could drop her check off in her mailbox on our way home in a few days. She agreed with not issue. On the day we came back from our wedding, she began blowing up my phone demanding that we bring her check to her as soon as we got home. She sent condescending texts explaining that we "should have known better", asking repeatedly when we would be home. I wish I saved the texts she sent, they were unprofessional and a little crazy. Those texts came as a shock to me because we had used her services probably 5 or 6 times in a 8 week period. We paid every time. We were not knew customers, yet she treated us like we were her misbehaved children all over a $51 check... By the way we did pay her as soon as we got home, exactly as we said we would. I wish she would have just said "no" when I told her that we forgot the check, because we could have easily just gotten a friend to take care of it. Over all, if you need Kimberly's service on short notice, I would give her a call. If you need someone long term, keep searching!

Out of the many cats (5+) that I have owned over the last 25 years, I have never had a cat who would not allow a vet to assess them so I was not used to the idea of sedating them. When I realized this was needed after going to a couple of different vets, I relinquished so that my fur baby could get the care she needed. The Nashville Cat Cllinic has a vet and techs that are experts in their profession for many years and are the best ever. They handled my cat seamlessly so my cat was not distressed at all. I also learned that my cat was being underdosed and not medicated properly to diminish her anxiety and stress when traveling. I was also taught how to really work on her eating and weight. And after 8 years of having my cat, there was not one vet clinic that told me she was microchipped! (I was given the cat from my neighbor and the cat never goes outdoors.) This is truly the place to bring your feline. With the attention, care and love we have for our cats as owners, why not take them to a place designed just for them. Make your appointment today!
