When we concluded that our beloved Luna's time had come, we knew we couldn't take her to the vet's…read moreoffice. Through some karmic Google searching, we found Dr. Lou, and from first contact through helping carry her body to his car, we knew we had found the right person to help us with this difficult, but necessary, task. I have always felt it is my sacred duty as a pet owner to make the difficult decision my pet can't. While I've done this before, it was always in a vet's office. We made a special request of Dr. Lou with respect to time and location, and he didn't hesitate to accommodate us. Luna made her transition on her terms, and ours. No fuss, no struggle for Luna. No stress, anxiety or regret for us. It was as joyous and beautiful as something so sad could possibly be. There is nothing we would change about our experience. Dr. Lou is doing sacred work by bringing his very special and unique gift directly to the pet owner and the pet. His generosity, compassion, and care for both pet and owners are evident. If you find yourself struggling with this decision, struggle no more.

5 stars all the way! We will never use another pet-care service…read more We found their company online and emailed just days before our trip. Kristy, (owner/operator), was wonderfully responsive and helpful in setting up our pet sitting experience. We traveled for 10 days and never once worried about our 2 (fur babies) cats, Jack and Sally. Joleen, who cared for them daily, sent regular texts with photos and updates. She was amazing and went above and beyond to ensure our cats' comfort, (and ours!). She was funny and quick to respond, just like a close family member! We knew Joleen took great care of them when we returned to find them, (and our home!) just as content as we had left them. My husband and I were extremely impressed with Beyond Barks.

Kat was reliable, efficient, and immediately struck up a trusting connection with our 'boys'. It was challenging work for her, because she had to administer an inhaler treatment twice a day to one of the cats, Marlow, despite not having known him before. She did an absolutely wonderful job. He was actually in better shape and coughing less, after we came home than before we left. Both cats looked happy and relaxed. The cat area was left clean and tidy. I will look no further next time we need cat care. We also loved the photos and updates we got each day....it helped us relax much better while away!

Dr. Phillips provided hospice care for our cat, Sher, during the last months of his life as he battled cancer and, as a result of her excellent and thorough care, we had a few extra good months before we had to say our final goodbyes. When the time came to say goodbye to our fur-baby, we also greatly appreciated how patient and gentle Dr. Phillips was with him and us. You can tell that she genuinely cares. She made what was a very difficult day a lot better by being so understanding and supportive. Dr. Phillips even sent a handwritten card to us afterwards, which was so thoughtful and kind. We are so thankful to Dr. Phillips for everything she did for Sher, she is truly one of the best vets we have ever met!
