Visited Caring Paws this morning with our cat Minny. I could not have been happier with the service. DrJess is was terrific with Minny, so much so that her calming influence was noticeable immediately.

Highly recommend Caring Paws

Dr Jess and the team took such great care of my big fluffy boy! I had never seen him so comfortable in a place he wasn't familiar with. Thanks so much :)

A huge thank you to Jess and her team for taking such good care of my dog! Jess recently performed surgery on my dog, removing four lipomas, one of which was located in a very delicate area near her eye. Jess's skills are truly exceptional; the surgery was a complete success, and the wound is healing remarkably well, with almost no visible scars. I feel incredibly relieved and touched. Jess and her assistant are incredibly friendly, patient, and full of love for pets. Every interaction made me feel that they truly treat animals like family. Jess even worked overtime on weekend evenings to update me on my dog's lab results. The whole process was professional yet heartwarming, inspiring complete trust. I wholeheartedly recommend Jess to all pet owners! I’m incredibly grateful to Jess and her team for taking such wonderful care of my dog. Jess recently performed surgery to remove four lipomas, including one located near my dog’s eye — a very delicate area. Her surgical skills are truly exceptional. The recovery has been amazing, and the incision marks are barely visible. Jess and her assistant are both extremely friendly, patient, and genuinely caring towards animals. Throughout the entire process, they made us feel supported and reassured, and it’s clear they treat every pet like family. I highly recommend Jess to any pet owner looking for a skilled and compassionate veterinarian!

We recently had Kyle undergo surgery at Caring Paws, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care he received from Dr Jess and the entire team. From the very beginning, Dr Jess and the staff were incredibly professional, friendly, and reassuring, which made the whole experience much less stressful for us. What truly stood out was Dr Jess personally calling to check on Kyle regularly after the surgery. That level of follow-up and genuine concern shows how much she truly cares about her patients and their recovery. We are very thankful for the outstanding care and compassion shown to Kyle, and we highly recommend Caring Paws and their wonderful team to anyone needing veterinary care.

It’s honestly hard to find a good vet, but Dr Jess and the team were amazing. They performed my dog’s vasectomy and took such great care of him from start to finish. He was relaxed, happy, and honestly looked like he had the best time there, it didn’t feel like a vet visit at all. Highly recommend.

Dr Jessica is an extremely caring and dedicated vet. Her love of animals clearly shows in the level of attentive care given. Jessica provided regular updates on my dog's condition. Gave clear instructions for at home meditation. Her follow up phone call to check on my dog's progress, shows her dedication to her animal patients.

Dr Jess was such an amazing vet and the most caring person. Her knowledge enabled her to explain all our options ensuring we were fully informed which made us all feel so much calmer. Her care of Digger was exceptional and nothing was too much trouble to keep him comfortable. Highly recommend her for the care of your fur babies.
