Unfortunately, our 12-year Cat, Barney, was at end of life. He was making that decision for us,…read morealthough, we wanted him to stay with us longer. Years ago, we made the decision to have our pets put to sleep at home without the stress of them going to our Vets in a carrier, along with us, having privacy with our grief. We'd used another service twice, but decided to go with Dr. Maria Kuty and her wonderful Staff, after reading their reviews, and they were on our Vet's list of those that do Home Euthanasia. Dr. Kuty was able to come out on a Friday to meet with us and help Barney on his way. Dr. Kuty was so amazing, professional, CARING and informative, I can't say enough about her. When it's our Cat Wilma's turn, we will be using Dr. Kuty.

Maria and her team are very compassionate and supportive. During a difficult time, they made the…read morecrossing of my cat Minou over the rainbow bridge very meaningful and sacred. I found Dr. Kuty's (Maria) company the day Minou showed me signs that he was ready to sleep forever - I looked them up on Maps and their company was the first to show with nothing but perfect feedback. I sent them an email first, it was a Sunday and at around 5 am, I received a response. I called them and although I was on hold for a while, I eventually spoke to someone who was nothing but supportive and compassionate. Never did I feel judged or hurried. I was crying my heart out and could barely talk - their patience and support was so helpful in easing a pain so intense. Maria arrived on time at our home. She, just like her team, was very supportive and compassionate. She took time to get to know us and Minou - she showed genuine kindness and love for animals (and genuine compassion for grieving pet parents). The whole process never felt rushed. Minou my cat never winced as the medicines were given and seemed to have been comfortable with Maria being there. From beginning to the end - up until Minou's cremains (in a beautiful urn and paw print tile) came back home. I'm so thankful for At Home, At Rest Pet Euthanasia. They're truly people you want to be on your side during these times. Minou was home, in my arms and took his last breath of his Mama's scent and hearing his Mama's heartbeat.

I had scheduled an appointment for the end of the week, but was checking to see availability almost daily. The team never made me feel like it was an imposition and their policy of cancelling 4 hours ahead was reassuring. But as I saw my dog decline day by day, and the morning off he didn't want to eat - I decided to called early morning hours to see if there was availability that day. Dr. Karen Vine was patient, compassionate and empathetic, walking me thru step by step the process. And her examination of my dog made it more reassuring I was making the right choice at the right time.

Last year, my family had to say goodbye to our two senior dogs within a six month period, and both…read moretimes the experience was handled with deep compassion and care by Dr. Ami Hensley. She gently walked us through every step of the process, explained what to expect, and gave us all the time and space we needed. Her calm presence and kindness made all the difference and it was because of such a positive first experience working with Dr. Hensley that it was no question who we would work with when we had to say goodbye to our second baby. Choosing an in-home service allowed our dogs to be comfortable and surrounded by love, and we are so grateful for the peaceful goodbye they were given. I would give 5+ stars without hesitation to Restful Paws and would recommend them to anyone facing one of the hardest decisions a pet parent has to make.

About an hour later, I did a walk in visit and was greeted by Karina who was also very kind and helpful as well. She was very patient as we gathered previous medical history from past clinics. She assisted us in the exam room and was also very calm to make sure my boy wasn't more anxious than he already was. Dr. Rao helped us today and we loved her! She radiated positive energy, was patient, caring, and didn't try to push any other work needed on us besides what I originally came for (unlike other places). Karina then answered my millions of questions about future appointments and reviewed the price breakdown for everything. Definitely pleased with my visit and am now at ease making this our primary vet care. Thank you Karina and Dr. Rao!

Because of another health condition, we've been taking our dog to a specialist at Beacon for the past several years. With both services, our experience has been excellent.

I wanted to shoutout the staffer who helped us, Kass, who was very friendly, responsive and respectful and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. There are some options when a pet passes.

They had a room available to us to say goodbye, we even brought our other dog with us to say goodbye. The have a variety of package options (custom urns, etc.), we had our own plans in mind but Kass was not too pushy in trying to upsell options. When you dropoff a pet for cremation, they say they will turn that around in 7-10 business days, I think they did it in 6. It feels a little weird to review a pet crematorium, but we have another dog at the moment, and we'd consider using Golden State again.

From the unexpected very first phone call the day before, they patiently walked me through the process while I was extremely emotional and overwhelmed. They were calm, kind, and never rushed us. The gentleman who met us at the hospital to transport our baby was thoughtful and respectful. We chose a private viewing and cremation, and while it was more expensive than other options, I wouldn't trade that experience for the world. When we arrived at the facility early the morning of, before the viewing or cremation, we brought breakfast as a small thank you for their compassion. They were genuinely surprised (said it's never been done before), which only spoke further to the selfless care they provide. We were given a private room set slightly away from the reception area, which provided much needed privacy. The room was simple but serene, with a couch, tissues, and a infant changing table style setup. Our baby had already been peacefully laid on the changing table with a small blanket, as if he was just sleeping. Being able to close the door, take our time, hold him, talk to him, cry, and say goodbye without interruption meant everything. They then carefully explained and showed us each step and allowed us to choose how involved we wanted to be, which we deeply appreciated. The whole process only took a few hours and our soul baby was rested in a nice temporary urn while we waited for our custom one. Our requested paw prints, nose prints, and hair clippings were also ready and prepped for us. This was our second time losing a fur baby, but our first experience with this company, and I truly cannot imagine handling such a loss any other way. Highly recommend.

She neither rushed us, nor painfully prolonged the experience. She listened to us carefully and took the extra step of discreetly making notes as we shared about Gus. With these tidbits, she sent us a very thoughtful and personalized card. We still have it. We will be forever grateful to Dr. Wensing for guiding us through losing our beloved dog.

Our sweet girl's health declined very suddenly...she couldn't sleep, was struggling to breathe, and her heart was failing. We were faced with the difficult choice of going to a vet clinic or finding an in-home euthanasia service. We found Heaven from Home and reached out to Dr. Wensing. Although she was initially fully booked, she took the time to speak with us and even recommended other in-home services to try. Unfortunately, none had availability, and we were preparing ourselves for a traditional vet visit...something we knew would cause our already fragile girl a lot of anxiety. Then, Dr. Wensing called back. She had a cancellation and could come that same day. It truly felt like a blessing. She arrived with such compassion and calm presence, and because of her, our girl was able to pass peacefully in the comfort of her own home, surrounded by her family. It meant everything to us to give her that kind of goodbye. We could not have asked for a more caring, professional, and humane experience during one of the most heartbreaking moments of our lives. If you are facing a similar situation, I cannot recommend Dr. Wensing and Heaven from Home enough. We are forever grateful for the kindness and dignity she gave our beloved companion in her final moments.
