Romeo at 19 1/2

Chrystel came to our home at least once a week over the last two years to administer sub q fluids to my precious cat, Romeo. We would often need help giving him pills as well. We could not have found a better person to help with Romeo. Chrystel is kind and very patient. Also she understands the roller coaster of emotions we go through when our pets are in their final years of life. If it were not for Chrystel's expertise and commitment to our cat, Romeo would not have made it to 19 1/2 years. Not only do we miss Romeo but we miss seeing Chrystel weekly. Needless to say, we highly recommend Chrystel for any pet sitting or hospice care needs for your pet.

If it weren't for Chrystel I would have had a terrible time on my recent vacation. Just days before leaving my kitty became seriously ill. I had to wait for the test results and, in fact, the veterinarian ended up calling me while I was in Milan with the diagnosis. Chrystel took over everything. She communicated with the vet, made sure he obtained all medications, kept me updated 2x daily, sent pictures & even videos so I would know he was okay. Without her, a trip to Italy, planned six months earlier, would have been ruined. Instead we enjoyed ourselves. Thanks again Chrystel! All my kitties love you almost as much as I do

Rupert says "Thanks Chrys!!

See all

This update is a bit overdue (this happened last year in April of 2025), but it's been a very tough…read moretime. The first couple times we used Sitter4Paws we had a really great experience with the sitters that were assigned to our senior, diabetic cat. Last year, my mother unexpectedly passed away, and our regular cat sitter was unavailable for half of the trip home. We booked Sitter4Paws the second half of the trip, and let them know about the circumstances and requested sitters that had seen Jodie before so that we could rest easy during a very difficult time. Of course we know that can't always be accommodated due to scheduling, so for the first visit a new sitter came to see Jodie. On the evening of my mother's passing, we got a text from Sitter4Paws that the sitter felt he may have made a mistake with our cat's insulin dosage. It was revealed to us that instead of giving her her normal 2.25 unit dose, he gave her 22.5 units - ignoring the taped off/labeled syringes, our explicit written instructions in the app, and additional photos/diagrams of what a full syringe should look like. Thank god he realized his mistake, otherwise our cat would have slowly died alone in our apartment - and this would have happened immediately after losing my mom. I understand mistakes can happen, but the fact that a sitter was uncertain with potentially life-threatening medication if administered improperly and didn't even think to reach out to us first was quite shocking. Sitter4Paws took full responsibility, admitted their mistake, said they would take steps to make sure something like this would never happen again, and covered her 4 day ER stay, but it never should have gotten to that point. Again - we did have great sitters who took care of our cat wonderfully - but the uncertainty of who you can get especially with medication involved means that we can no longer recommend this service with confidence.

He was really worried about his hair not growing out nicely but I told him that he's received this haircut multiple times before by other groomers. Little did I know that because my dogs breed has a double coat, cutting into it will cause the inner coat not to grow out. Thank you for teaching me about my dogs coat and what is best. I appreciate the transparency and care you have towards the care and needs of our babies. Now for the experience: Louis came out looking fabulous! He smelled amazing and I could tell they treated him nicely. They left his tail fluffy which I loved. Any style or cut you're looking for this place can do it! A little on the pricey side but it's worth it for our fur babies!

I originally left a 4-star review for this place, but I'm updating it after multiple visits and…read moreunfortunately, my experience has gone downhill. To be honest, I felt pressured to write my first review just to receive a discount, which already didn't sit right with me. I usually prefer to wait until I've had a few visits before leaving feedback. At the time, everything seemed fine the cut was good, and I liked how the master groomer handled my dog. However, during my most recent visit, I specifically asked them not to cut my dog's eyelashes. (Was growing them for a photo shoot) When I picked her up this past Friday, they had clearly cut them anyway. This was upsetting because I gave clear instructions, and they were ignored. I called to address the issue, and while the person on the phone did apologize, it felt very dismissive more like "what can we do for you?" than genuine concern. There was no real accountability, and it felt like it wasn't taken seriously. Over the four visits I've had, I've also noticed a pattern of upselling services and pressure tactics. On top of that, I've been told that tips given to employees don't actually go directly to them, which is very concerning. What really sealed it for me was being asked, after leaving a 4-star review, why I didn't give 5 stars. There was no appreciation just expectation for more. Because of all of this, I'm changing my review from 4 stars to 1. Honestly, if I could give zero, I would.

My…read morehusband and I have very busy schedules, so it's a huge help knowing that when we get home in the evening, our two cats have already been fed and their litter box has been cleaned. I can now spend quality time cuddling and playing with them. Abby is amazing. I truly appreciate how attentive and thoughtful she is with my fur babies. What stands out most are the little things she does. She pays attention to each cat's individual personality and routine, and she asks questions whenever she's unsure rather than making assumptions. That level of care gives me tremendous peace of mind. I'd definitely recommend Abby to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter.

Abigail and Bryan were amazing with our dog, Blizzard. They stayed overnight, took him on walks,…read moreand even brought him to the park which he loved. They were super consistent with sending photo updates, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Blizzard is a large breed malamute, so it's not always easy finding sitters who are confident and experienced--but what really stood out is that they also have experience with large dogs. That made a huge difference for us. They followed all of our instructions, including administering his medication and reinforcing his commands, which we really appreciated. They were also comfortable using the tools we provided, like his prong collar, which honestly made me feel even more reassured that they know how to properly handle bigger, stronger dogs. They left the Furbo camera on in the living room as requested and were overall very respectful of our home. It's honestly hard to find sitters you fully trust, and I'm so glad we found them--especially having both of them stay with Blizzard. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!

The facility is very clean, and it's clear that the staff genuinely care about every dog in their care. The trainers are kind, attentive, and treat each pup like family, which gives us so much peace of mind. Whenever we travel out of state, Dog Den is our first choice for boarding. We love that they provide cameras so we can check in on our fur baby. The staff keeps everything clean, changes the towels regularly, and makes sure she is comfortable and well cared for throughout her stay. On days when she just needs some extra playtime and socialization, daycare is the perfect place for her to have fun with other doggos. We also love the photos update that were given throughout the day. We highly recommend Dog Den to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and trustworthy place for their furry family member!

The facility itself is very well equipped, with more than 100 rooms. They also have separate isolation rooms in case a dog gets sick, which helps prevent illnesses from spreading to other dogs. I thought that was a huge plus. All new dogs are required to provide vaccination records, and they also do about a 20-minute temperament assessment before joining. Based on each dog's personality, they arrange suitable playgroups instead of just mixing all the dogs together. The staff are also very professional and attentive. They keep daily records of each dog's eating habits and bathroom activity, which really gives owners extra peace of mind. Overall, it feels like a very responsible and well-organized place for dogs.

They took extra effort to ensure no other issues ever transpired and have been very true to their commitment. Regarding the dog/cat services we rely upon, the peace-of-mind and security afforded to myself and my family is well worth whatever fees Happy Paws needs to continue running. My pets are very comfortable with them and well tended. I had a dog that was terminally ill and it always broke my heart to leave for work, but I knew he was in good hands until the end when he finally crossed the rainbow bridge. I have a new pup and once again he is quite happy with every visit and my cat has also deemed them very worthy of her presence throughout this time. We have worked primarily with Jeremy and he has been very reliable, even reaching out to me about my own schedule when I spaced out any updates that he was expecting.
