We could not recommend Paws Over The Rainbow more. From the initial email response to the communication after, the service provided was exceptional. The team over there, especially Tine, were incredibly empathetic and understanding. They took the time to hear us and comment back the perfect words during a very upsetting time for our family. When the day came to put our beautiful dog out of pain, Tine was incredible. She helped us through all of it, was very patient and said exactly the right words. She treated our little lady with the utmost respect before and after and we have expressed how thankful we were to Paws Over The Rainbow to everyone around us. Their communication was unbelievable and the service provided, second to none. We later received a handwritten card from the team with some beautiful personal words which really helped us at a difficult time. It was very much respected and appreciated and gave it that personal touch even more so. We definitely felt it was the correct decision to have a home euthanasia over going to the vets, from my own experience it was a much more dignified end that was surrounded with a lot more peace and love, which was made a lot easier with this company. If anyone is at the point that we all think will never come, as horrible and upsetting it is, you are in very good hands with Paws Over The Rainbow.

Tine came to our house to help us allow our beautiful cat Twinkles fall asleep after her battle with cancer. Tine was so kind and gentle. Talking through everything and answering all our questions. We can't thank you enough for your professionalism and compassion during what is such a difficult time.Thank you for the beautiful card and the seeds.

Having to make the heartbreaking decision to let our beautiful boy Nipper go over the rainbow bridge we knew he needed to be at home during this difficult time, Tine came to us and made what was a dreadful time so much more bearable. She was calm and caring, not rushing us but let us go at our own pace. We will never be able to repay Tine for how amazing she was with Nipper and us at this time. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts ♥️

I had contacted Paws Over the Rainbow earlier as I knew that my 12 year old golden retriever was struggling with loosing his strength due to arthritis. I decided that I owed Max a dignified end at home. It turned into an emergency and he took the heartbreaking decision out of my hands. Tine attended and talked me through the process. His gut had twisted and he was in pain. A dose of valium quickly calmed him so we could spend precious time with him. Another injection later sent him over the rainbow bridge to join Aunty Millie retriever and my 5 other retrievers. He was privately cremated and he is back home with me. It was the "best" goodbye.

When our little mate Echo got his diagnosis and we were told his end was coming, we knew we were losing a very special rescue cat. He was far too pretty to be abandoned, but this is sadly how he ended up. Independant and feisty at times in his early years, but always ready for drink of milk or a warm lap, he was truly a one of a kind cat. We knew that letting him pass away at the home he loved before pain and suffering took over was the kindest thing to do. Tine handled the whole process with dignity and kindness and Echo passed away in peace and tranquility in the home he loved and defended. It is always sad to lose a loving companion, but I can certainly say if you wish to do the very best for them till the end then I can thoroughly recommend the home service that Tine offers. Run free Echo our beautiful little mate

There are some people in this world that words cannot express just how much love they hold within their souls. When you come across them you feel it instantly. We felt this deep sense of love and kindness from Tine. A beautiful gentle woman who went out of her way to help us in the most painful time we recently have experienced, 3 weeks ago. Our beautiful beloved 13 year old beagle dog Django, was suddenly diagnosed with Kidney failure and from the time the vet told us this devastating news, two days later he passed. I’m still very much in shock and in tremendous pain. Our boy didn’t suffer because of the gift Tine gave us. Kidney failure is dreadfully painful for dogs and I wasn’t going to let my boy live his last hours on this earth in agony. Instead he was given the deepest love we could surround him with, our voices, our touch, our smells and his favourite song I have played to him for 13 years. Tine was part of this love. She gently talked us through the process and gave us great consideration and compassion during this time. To us, she represented an Angel at our most saddest time. Her bedside manner is impeccable and a gift. A true gift and we will never be able to thank her enough. Our beloved boy lays peacefully in our private woodlands and lays deeply within our hearts, forever. In the end, we gave our boy the greatest act of love we could have ever given to him which was to not let him suffer the pain he would have gone through. I can feel him saying to me “mummy thank you for giving me permission to go.” My heart is completely broken, shattered into a thousand pieces. The love I gave to my boy was true love, a pure love. I bear this pain so he didn’t have to. We will be together again one day, forever. Our most sincere gratitude for your love Tine, we will never forget how you helped us when we most needed. Our Love, Jainey, Sam and Emily xxx

Me and my Nan needed to have our Frenchie Nancy put to sleep as she had reached the end. Tina was amazing from start to finish, she made my Nan who is 85 years old feel so at ease and calm! It was such a peaceful end for Nancy and my Nan can’t stop talking about how much better it made her feel having Tina here. Thank you so much- I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Tine was amazing with helping us give our much loved cat a dignified and respectful ending to a wonderful, long life. From our first call to the team we were treated with immense kindness and compassion, I feel it was the single greatest experience of kindness I have ever had, and the care and love Tine has for animals and their families is deep and obvious. Thanks you again.

Myself and Chris cannot thank Tine and the team enough. Tine made what was the worse day of our lives so much calmer. She gave our little Jess so much care in the brief moment she came into her life. She handled her with so much love and kindness never rushed us in saying our goodbyes. But also helped reassure us that we were doing the best thing for our girl, as much as it hurts us. Taking away her pain came first. The beautiful card from Tine just showed how much she cares, cannot recommend you all enough.
