    David and Michele Nelson of Caring Pet Cremation are the absolute best. They are compassionate and treat your furbaby as if they were their own. I have utilized David’s services several times, and each time, I feel blessed knowing that each of my babies were treated with dignity and respect while in his care. He truly goes above and beyond to help ease the pain of losing your furbaby.Thank you for all that you did for Pluto. Although he was 17, losing him wasn’t easy. Your compassion and kindness helped ease my pain.

    Caring Pet is the most appropriate name for this very responsive and caring service. At a most difficult time when our beloved Belle passed away at home, David personally answered the phone to our very panicked call. His concern and guidance was much appreciated, and his respectful care for our girl was evident from our first interaction to our last. I would highly, highly recommend Caring Pet!

    The owner david is an amazing man. When I lost my baby piggums this past Tuesday he came out and got her and was absolutely caring and considerate! They went above and beyond giving me a part of her favorite blanket, with out me even asking. Absolutely taking all my pets to be cremated here! I already have my piggums back home which is extremely quick, and it wasn’t expensive.Will be recommending to everyone i know for when they lose their furbabies.

    I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible service we received from Caring Pet Cremation during such a difficult time. David went above and beyond for us, showing exceptional compassion and care. David stayed in touch throughout the entire process, so we always knew where Cassidy was, and weren’t left questioning if she was picked up from the vet, etc. We received a phone call a few days later to say our girl was ready. Not only did we receive our beloved Cassidy’s ashes, but David also provided ink nose prints, clay paw prints, fur clippings, and even took the time to save a piece of the blanket we wrapped her in. These thoughtful gestures genuinely meant the world to us. David treated Cassidy with the utmost dignity and kindness, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you for helping us honor our sweet girl with such love and respect.

    I can not put into words how caring, passionate and trusting David & his wife were. When I lost my baby Coraline suddenly on Friday. I called asking if they were able to do the cremation for us. He didn’t hesitate and said YES picked her up for me and had her back to me on Monday. The way they put her together for me is amazing and now i have her home along with keepsakes he made. Thank you again! Both of you are greatly appreciated and I don’t know what I would of done without you both.

    My pomeranian of 17 years passed away 2 weeks ago on a late sunday/Monday morning. I found David on a Google and filled out his contact form. He called me Monday morning and he was so understanding and caring. We brought my dog to him that afternoon and his wife was wonderful and caring as I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to call him and let him not that I would be there in the afternoon. I spoke to David again about 4 days later and the package he put together for me was beautiful and it was so good to have my baby home where she belongs. If you are looking for a cremation service for your pet please don’t look any further and chose David and his company.
