Uncle Jay is a go-to cat sitter. I recommend his business without a moment s hesitation. 10/10,…read moreseriously. He has been taking care of my cats since mid-2020 when I ended up taking in a stray kitten that a friend-of-friend had found. It wasn't the ideal time to take in a cat; I was a nurse working 12 + hour shifts during a pandemic. But the "cat distribution system" (and my impulsive heart) decided for me Uncle Jay has been excellent, trust worthy, communicative and thorough from the start... and those are traits that have remained steadfast over the last four years. I've used his services multiple times now for: (a) a late minute check in on my freshly spayed kitten while I had to work, (b) my twice yearly king weekend to visit my family on the East Coast, (c) longer trips that have taken me overseas, and (d) other short trips I've taken. It is clear that he understands cats & treats them well and with respect, and that they like and respect him back. I wouldn't doubt that he probably cares for my cats better than me! It is a stress relief to know that my two (yes, I got the 1st one a friend) are safe and sound while I'm away. Other pluses: His online booking portal is easy to use. He brings in packages and lets you know they have arrived. Bonus: Uncle Jay is very skilled in cat photography! His updates always include a variety of excellent pictures.

Jay takes playtime and cuddle time seriously and it makes me feel much better knowing that our girl is getting some love while we are gone. Uncle Jay also continues to be fastidious about tidying and refreshing her water and wet food. Thank you, Uncle Jay!

We have now known Sen, Alex, & team for about a decade, and they have helped SO much with our…read moretraumatized found on the streets chihuahua mix. When I had our kids and they suddenly started toddling around, our dog got really scared and Sen helped me develop a plan to keep the dog and toddlers safe without having to rehome our dog. Now our kids are older and through using tips from Sen they have built trust with our dog, and I think that she is having just about the best life she can possibly have. After some bad experiences at other places and trying to trim her nails ourselves, we now drive 40 mins each way every other month to have Sen file/trim our dog's nails - and we wouldn't trust anyone else to treat her with such care and respect. Everyone we meet while waiting there also has nothing but praise for Mister Beever's team, and we have gotten to know several other members of the team who my children (big horse fans) have now come to admire and trust. I always recommend Sen to anyone looking for a dog behaviorist or trainer or anyone who is at the end of their rope with their dog or cat - he's just the best, and his team is amazing. I also want to mention that when we had a family medical emergency a few years ago I asked if we could board our dog with Sen & Alex. Our dog is safe and loved and actually calm & happy sometimes now, which is a miracle, AND I wouldn't leave her with most people because she is still a reactive traumatized chihuahua mix who doesn't do well with change. Sen & Alex didn't have space but said they would work with me to figure something out since they'd known us for so long and I was so panicked about figuring out details. We ended up not having to board her at the last minute, but I was so grateful that despite having PACKED schedules and lives they were willing to help me troubleshoot. Oh, and one more thing - Sen takes the BEST photos! This is our beloved pup - and Sen took this photo during a training session years ago. It remains one of my favorites of her because it captures her personality - intense, food-focused, smart, and a bit of a goofball. Thanks, Mr. Beever's Paws & Claws!

Sen and Alex and the crew have taken care of our sweet and high-ish needs pup for 7 years. Their…read morecare of our dog, and also the human end of the equation, is exemplary. We've had moments of emergency needs and the team has bent over backwards to support the whole family through some tough moments. They've also been a second home to our doggo when her humans are out of town, and the pep in her step when she gets to run into the MBPC home is a testament to the dogs in their care. The humans who work here are big-hearted, and their thoughtfulness and love of what they do is matched by the high levels of expertise and the high standards they set for pet care. Is it possible to say enough about how great the whole team is? Probably not... but here are some highlights: Training: Sen worked with us on our dog's fear/anxiety response to other dogs when on leash -- mostly helping us understand how to change our behaviors to better support our doggo. The clarity, understanding, patience, and support Sen offered were hugely helpful to us all! Boarding/Day Care: What a joy to be able to leave our beloved doggo someplace where we never worry or wonder if she's ok. Does she come back exhausted and clearly well-socialized and well-taken care of? Hell yes. Do we get tons of glamour shots AND action shots of our doggo while she's with MBPC? Double hell yeah. Truly, their care is exceptional, as is their communication with the humans involved. Nails/Ears: Our dog loves her "spa days," even when she's a little fussy about her ear cleanings. It's never a real challenge for the MBPC team, and she loves to see the whole crew. If you're lucky enough to be in the MBPC family, you are truly in with the best. We moved out of the area recently and have not been able to find anyone else even close to meeting the high bar Alex and Sen have set.

One of them has very typical chihuahua type personality 'challenges'. He's incredibly loyal to us, but has intense separation anxiety and is extremely timid/fearful of anyone he does not know. He can even be fear aggressive at times. My other chihuahua loves people, but is very aggressive around other dogs. Combined, they can have the worst of all dog personality traits - making it nearly impossible to find dog sitters/walkers they can work with. Finding Nicki was like an absolute godsend. She is incredibly personable, trustworthy and a complete professional. But most importantly, she has a clear passion and talent for working with animals. I have never seen my two dogs take to anyone like they did to Nicki. Her patience, skill and keen understanding of dog behavior made for an incredibly positive experience for my dogs and for me. Nicki took wonderful care of my two babies and my house while I was out of town. She indulged all my crazy, paranoid instructions and called me while I was gone to give me a detailed status report. If you're in need of some one to care for your dogs while out of town, or if you just need a dog walker I can't recommend Nicki enough.

Sadly (but not surprisingly) our sweet old guy died while we were away. Colleen was incredibly kind to us as we absorbed this news, and followed all of our wishes to the letter. She took his body to the cremation center and handled this loss for our family with great grace. Her tenderness and solidness during this time speaks to her capacity for real care. Our other cat, a younger, relational and attention-seeking kitty, was incredibly well cared for in our absence.
