Testimonials
What Our Clients Say
“There is nobody we trust more than Heather and Eric when it comes to caring for our kitties!! They will love your furry friends like they are their own. Heather and Eric check on our cats daily when we are out of town. They make sure the cats are fed, watered, and have fresh litter boxes. They also spend quality time with the cats and give them the playtime and affection they need when we are gone. Heather even sends us updates on how the cats are doing and often includes a quick picture or two of the cats. I can’t recommend Care4Paws enough! You will absolutely NOT regret using Heather and Eric for your petsitting needs.”
“Definitely consider Eric and Heather to check-in on your pets and make sure they are doing well so you can enjoy your time away! We have used them several times and appreciated the photos we received – a real peace of mind when we travel. They are also awesome humans! And trustworthy too! Definitely can’t go wrong – I highly recommend them!”
“We went on a two-week trip and needed someone to give fluids to an old dog. They did an excellent job. I would recommend them highly for the care of any animal and will not hesitate to utilize their services again when needed.”
“I have known Eric & Heather, the owners of Care4Paws, for 5 years. They have taken care of my cat several times when I was out of town & always did a fantastic & thoroughly professional job, providing the highest quality care. Eric was an employee of the local pet shelter, BENCHS (Blue Earth County & Nicollet County (Minnesota) Humane Society) for two years & Heather volunteered there for several years. They own cats & dogs themselves & it is apparent that they love animals. They made sure that my cat was fed, watered, & had a fresh litter box every day. They also provided the cat with playtime & affection. Eric sends me videos of him playing with & brushing the cat, & the cat clearly loves this activity! Eric & Heather are absolutely dedicated to providing loving care to the pets owned by their clients. I would recommend Care4Paws to any pet owners seeking people to take care of their pets.”
“Heather and Eric took such good care of our boys. They played with them and sent pictures of the boys having more fun than ever. We were able to leave them and know that they would be loved and well cared for. Would have them watch the boys again without reservation! They were fabulous!”
