"Louise provides such an invaluable service, and was extremely empathetic and kind during what was an incredibly difficult time for me. My cat, Kim, had always been nervous when going to the vet. I was so glad when I found out that I didn't have to say my goodbyes in a place where she would feel even the slightest bit scared. Instead, thanks to Louise, my beloved cat was able to pass in the comfort of her home, surrounded by those who love her. While I miss Kim to an indescribable extent, I am so grateful to Louise for what she does and her compassion. I cannot recommend her enough."

"We are so deeply grateful to Louise for the incredible kindness and gentleness she showed to both our darling Tiger and our family. Louise ensured that our heartbreaking goodbye to Tiger was as peaceful and dignified as it could possibly be. Her calm, compassionate presence helped not only Tiger pass with comfort and love, but also brought a great sense of peace to our entire family. Louise is an absolute gem and we will never have enough words to fully express our gratitude to her. Thank you Louise, from the very bottom of our hearts."

"Louise was so kind when I had to say goodbye to my cat Maggie from the moment I spoke to her until the end. Maggie was always stressed going to the vets so for Louise to come to my house was so great. She even sent me a message the next day to see if I was OK & sent a card which was very thoughtful. She is a wonderful person to whom I am so grateful."

"Louise came to our home to guide Gypsy on her final journey. I can't thank her enough for making such a difficult time peaceful and calm. Gypsy left us pain-free and surrounded by family that loved her.
Louise's kind and calm demeanor made the experience less difficult."

"Sometimes in life we are lucky to meet ordinary, everyday heroes. I would class Louise differently, she is an extraordinary, ordinary everyday hero! She does a hugely difficult job with boundless support, compassion, and empathy, for four legged and two legged alike. Did I think I would need her services a month ago, certainly not. But if our very precious dog Bruno was to have to go on his final walk, I couldn't have asked for a better person to guide him on his way. He's at peace now, and I'm more at peace for being with him to the last, in our own home, with nothing but birdsong, love and kindness in the air."

"Louise is the most compassionate and kind person.
Last Saturday she came to us as our beloved Pip was ready to go on the rainbow bridge and Louise helped her and she did everything for our Pip to be comfortable and also she was very kind with our children who were devastated because we had to let Pip go.
We thank you soooo much for everything Louise and the card we received today was so kind."

"Louise is such a caring vet, it was lovely for Benjy to be so cared for. It made a traumatic experience so much easier."

"Louise came to our house when Todd was facing his final journey.
I initially spoke to Louise when Todd received his diagnosis. She was kind, calm and empathetic. We spoke about his diagnosis, what I wanted for him and how she works.
After a few short weeks, we needed Louise to help Todd gain his wings. She was gentle with and loving to Todd and so kind to us. She encouraged us to take time with Todd and explained each step.
I especially appreciated that she wasn’t known to Todd, so he didn’t feel fear when he saw her. That was hugely important. I really recommend her to support anyone through this really difficult time. Thank you so much Louise."
