The staff is remarkable! They are hard working, kind, courteous, knowledgeable, and compassionate. The facility itself is well kept & very clean. Safety is a top priority all dogs must be immunized to ensure all dogs are safe. The dog yards are separated depending on the size of your furry friend, the play areas are well maintained heated & cooled to keep the dogs comfortable. They have video surveillance, which is a plus for any owner. Dogs can roam from inside to outside freely & they are supervised with loving attendants who are with the dogs the whole time. They have half and full day packages & overnight stay which I also used. The overnight stay service was outstanding.

Her level of communication is above our previous sitters, she replies to messages quickly and it's so nice to get an update with each visit plus photos. It was a pleasant surprise to come home to a "welcome home" setup, complete with report cards on how the kids did, and a super thoughtful touch was her asking for a touch base to make sure we got home as planned and the pets didn't need any additional checks. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to one of our fur babies last week, and after her drop-in, she left a sympathy card for us with the sweetest note. I never would've expected that and it was so touching. It's easy to see pets are her passion and I'm sure everyone else at Theuerkauf's is just as great, we've only just interacted with Lauren so far. I've already recommended their services to multiple friends!

Courtney is a cat whispering angel. She is a veteran with a dog and cat business in her home. I…read moreknow this is long, but Please, please read on. She needs to be recognized for her kindness and patients with animals and people. If you know me, you know I do not post on ANY social media and usually don't even get on them. I will start with my beautiful, sweet but hell on wheels cat, Cinders. She is a 16 yo Seal Pointe with a beautiful coat that is very fine, silky, floats the in the air, and of course mats very easily. Over the years we have moved several times. She has been groomed professionally twice. She has been kicked out of multiple groomers. One town we had to take her to the vet and they had to surgically sedated her just to shave and groom her, had to do that every year for 5 years to prevent horrible matting. Which of course if very unhealthy (and unnecessary). We have lived here now for 5 years, the vet here refused to sedate her, which is actually good. When I take her to the vet for anything, they aske me to medicate her, and if she is out of it enough they will shave her mats, but nothing else. When they came out with those tube cat treats, I had I genius idea to freeze them to groom her. I can groom her with my husbands feeding for about 10 minutes. Got her acclimated to the shaver, but she absolutely will not let me touch her legs, tail, or stomach, which are the most prone to mats. Desperate, I searched for hours on line, no one does cats and the only ones I could find are the ones we have already been banned from. Then I saw Gentle Paws, and booked appointment on line. She texted me later to thank me for booking and wanted to have more info about Cinders. I have NEVER had that happen. I was completely honest with just to make sure she would actually still see her. Then Courtney asked me to not medicate her. Are you kidding, this will be short and horrible!! very fine, silky, floats the in the air, and of course mats very easily. Arrived at the appointment, she met me at my car, carried her inside for me, and invited me to stay. The grooming area was immaculate, with state of the art equipment I have never seen. She showed me around and told that she had blocked any other appointments so they could get to know each other. We visited for about 30 minutes, Cinders accumulated to her and her voice. No one has EVER done any of those things with any grooming! I told her that my priority was Cinders comfort, and just do whatever she could. She sent me pics and texts to keep me updated. Told me Cinders was done and that she had trimmed her nails, gave her a lion cut, bath and dried. I almost passed out from the shock. I know this is long but I feel anyone that is kind and caring in this society of not caring and even cruelty, should be lifted up and praised. She would like to specialize in just cats, but she rarely gets any cat appointments. Even if you don't get your cat groomed, maybe just book a nail trim or something to help her business. PLEASE, PLEASE help me to lift her up and get this to go viral. Sorry for the book, but I think this amazing woman deserves it. Before, during and after photos. Cinders went outside expecting her usual treat on table, but she had 3 tubes during grooming, so no more for a few days. She then started grooming herself, of course. She is shaved so short because of the mats being on the skin, and to prevent her from getting any more mats for longer. Before you comment, She only let outside with supervision, and grooming.

Rylan has always been fairly well-mannered and is friendly once he gets to know you, but he tends to pull on his leash during walks and now he's learning how to share his house with his arch nemesis - a cat. I expressed my concerns with Julie and her mom and they knew exactly what to do about it. I've tried many different harnesses and collars, but I've never tried a pinch collar because I didn't know how to properly use them and didn't want to hurt him. Julie fit him with one and showed me exactly how to use it and got him to do what I couldn't do in the 4+ years I've had him. I was absolutely blown away at how he reacted to this new collar and the amount of instruction she gave and the reasons behind WHY it works. Her philosophy is that she will not sell anything she would not use on her own dogs, so she has first-hand experience on everything she sells and why her products are beneficial. I will forever make the 30 minute drive to her store becaue of how they treat me and Rylan. If you haven't gone yet, GO!

Overall very good experience and will use them again.
