Customer reviews for Animal Experts, Inc.
Calvin Stanton
I genuinely love this company. The owners Jeff and Marc are two of the most passionate, knowledgeable, and all around good people you'll ever meet in this industry. You can tell within minutes of talking to either of them that they truly care about what they do and the people and animals they work with. And that energy clearly trickles down to the rest of the team, because every single person I've interacted with at Animals Experts has been just as professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. These guys have been doing this for a long time, and that experience shines through in everything they touch. Whether it's animal removal or any of their other services, the quality and professionalism is always there from top to bottom. They are the real deal through and through. If you so happen to have a dog and live in an area with snakes, please do yourself a favor and look into their snake avoidance training. I cannot stress this enough. What this team does with dogs is absolutely incredible. Jeff, Marc, and the other trainers they have all bring an amazing level of care and expertise to that training, and it could genuinely save your pet's life one day. That alone is worth its weight in gold. There are a lot of companies out there that claim to know what they're doing, but Animals Experts actually backs it up every single time. Jeff and Marc have built something really special here, and they've surrounded themselves with a team that shares that same standard. I will always recommend them to anyone who asks. These are good people doing great work, and you'll feel that from the moment you reach out to them.

Jade came out and did a great job removing a rattlesnake. Glad to hear they either release them In the wild or use them for training.
Provider response
Thank you, Andy, for the great review!<br><br>We’re glad we were able to safely take care of the rattlesnake for you. Protecting both our customers and local wildlife is very important to us. We appreciate your support and your kind words!
SCOTT MEISE
Animal Experts are the best! I had owls in my house for almost a week ... until Marc arrived, trapped and "rescued" these pesky intruders. No more banging inside the windows at 2am, or mess on the furniture and my wife can relax without wondering if they are going to return. Excellent work fellas!
Provider response
Thank you, Scott, for the fantastic review!<br><br>We’re so glad Marc was able to safely take care of the owls and bring peace back to your home. It’s great to hear you can finally relax without the late-night disturbances. We truly appreciate your kind words and your trust in our team!
Joseph L.
Thought I had a critter in my attic, called animal experts they sent someone over the very next day who did an extremely thorough inspection and determined that I didn’t have an animal problem and was kind enough not to even charge for the visit. Just amazing customer service. I highly recommend them.
Provider response
Thank you, Joseph, for your thoughtful review!<br><br>We’re happy we could respond quickly and provide a thorough inspection. Honest and helpful service is always our goal, and we truly appreciate your recommendation and support!

Not good people, do not trust with your home and especially your family.
Jackilyn Lopez
TERRIBLE. I called about wild chicken things and he said they were a private service and that I’d have to pay and I was in the middle of asking where I can call for them and he hung up
Provider response
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Jackilyn. We’re sorry to hear this was your impression, as this does not reflect how we conduct our calls. We take customer interactions very seriously and would appreciate the opportunity to look into this further. Please contact us directly at your convenience so we can better understand what occurred and address your concerns.
Andreyha Seraphin
I called to ask about bobcat removal. The man on the phone was rude, dismissive and unhelpful.
Provider response
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you felt this way, as this is not the experience we aim to provide. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss this conversation further and clarify any misunderstanding. Please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can address this properly.
Chris Calkins
This guy is a hero. He goes the extra mile to make sure the animals are safe. What a winner. “Always take the high road. It's less crowded" --Warren Buffet. This guy lives it!
Provider response
Thank you so much for the review Chris! We’re incredibly proud to have someone who truly cares for the well-being of animals on our team. Your kind words and the quote mean a lot to us. We’ll continue to take the high road in everything we do!
Gillian Kaplan
I had a rattlesnake living under my hay bales almost all summer and we coexisted peacefully. Unfortunately, she decided to get a little too comfy and it was time for her to go. I contacted Jeff and he was at my place in less than 10 minutes and the process took literally 2 minutes. He was knowledgeable about safe snd humane relocation and put my worried mind at ease that she would survive and thrive in her new home. I will miss my friend, but I’m happy to know she is in a safer place for both of us now.
Provider response
Thank you Gillian! We're so glad Jeff was able to help quickly and ease your mind with a safe relocation. We appreciate your thoughtful words!

price is outrageous
Drew Throne
Just called to get an injured animal out of my shop and was immediately turned away even though they claimed to be 24 hours
C Haefner
UPDATE: Once again Marc has brought his caring professionalism to bear on my problem- an explosion of mice! This time Marc has given generously of his time, his knowledge and expertise to provide a solution and the education I need to secure my home and property against future invasions of this kind. Marc and his company have provided me and my family excellent service over the years. I truly appreciate this company and recommend them. (My prior review) This was my second time using their service. In both cases Mark and Jeff we're friendly, knowledgeable, and effective. I highly recommend them.
Provider response
Christina, thank you for your business and review! I am so glad to hear that we were able to make a difference in your pest control situation.
Meg PLATIS
When the bat slid between the cabinet and the wall in the 1” space, we were afraid he’d die back there. A quick call to Jeff and he was at our door in minutes. He had the right lights and tools, and in just a few minutes more, the little guy was on his way to freedom. I hope we don’t have to call Jeff again, but I’m really glad I know who to call.
Provider response
Thank you for your kind words Meg! We’re so glad Jeff was able to respond quickly and safely help the bat back to freedom. It’s great to know you feel confident having someone to call if needed.
Steven Johnson
For some unknown reason a Gila Monster decided to set up lodging in my garage. My health insurance isn't that good, so I called Jeff. He came within the hour, removed Mr. Monster and did it respect and compassion. I highly recommend these folks. Steve - Green Valley, AZ
Provider response
Thank you, Steven for the great review! We’re glad Jeff could help safely relocate your unexpected guest. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation.<br>
Aaron Otis
It's a shame that I can only leave 5 starts for this review, because I'd like to give more. Found a snake in the back yard on a Sunday. I know nothing about snakes so they are all dangerous to me, even the safe ones. I called these guys at around 10 in the morning and they were great. Said they would have someone out there soon. 2 minutes later I get a call from Cass and she's on her way. A total of about 18 minutes after the call Cass showed up. She was AMAZING and had the best time trying to catch a Sonoran Coachwhip snake, the fastest in snake in Arizona. And she got it too! Gave her a good challenge but Cass was all about it. She was able to provide all kinds of information about the snake. How quick it is, all while trying to catch the snake. Dare I say she almost enjoyed it. Great care was given to the snake and I'm sure it's out racing around in a great new home, just not mine. These guys are the best. They are now on my speed dial for the next outdoor "event" I come across. Thank you so much Animal Experts and Cass!
Provider response
Thank you for the fantastic and detailed review Aaron! We're so glad Cass was able to respond quickly and handle the situation with skill and care. It’s great to hear she made the experience informative and even a bit fun despite the unexpected guest. We truly appreciate your trust in us and are happy to know we’ve earned a spot on your speed dial. We’ll be here whenever the next outdoor “event” comes up—thank you again from all of us at Animal Experts!<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
Paige Bucy
Marco was great! He was also very honest with his evaluation of what was going on at my dad’s place! He gave me some tips that I think will be helpful. It’s great to have people like this to help in these circumstances! Thank you again! Paige
Provider response
Thank you, Paige! We're glad Marco was able to help and provide honest, useful advice. We truly appreciate your kind words and are here if you need anything in the future!<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

Prompt arrival and fast efficient service removing a rattlesnake from inside our “snake proof” dog run. We really appreciated the respect and care the handler had for the animal. Will likely get the snake avoidance training they offer!
Provider response
Thank you for the great review! 🐍 We're glad we could help quickly and safely. It's great to hear you appreciated the care shown toward the rattlesnake — and we’d be happy to help with snake avoidance training when you're ready!<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
Zainab Rasool (Zaina)
The phone service is bad, not polite or respectful, the guy that answered was soo impatient and got an attitude as soon as I started speaking, and hung up in my face while I just wanted to know who I may call instead
Provider response

Rebekah Kountz

Shadoww Renfro
Just tried to call about an afterhours question regarding an abandoned animal and the man who answered the phone sounded extremely irritated I was calling and abruptly gave me a number to call and hung up when I asked to let me find a pen to write it down. All I had was a simple question because Google gave me no other choices for 24 hour services. There was no need to behave that way.
Provider response
We sincerely apologize that this was your experience. After hours, we utilize a contracted answering service as the office phone is not able to be answered by a member of our team. We would appreciate the opportunity to speak with you personally and provide you with the service you deserve! To follow up directly, please call (520) 531-1020 or utilize the contact form on the bottom of our website.
Francisco Leon
Contact another company, do not call these people! I contacted them on 7 April and never heard back from them. Now I lost another one of my chickens! I am retired Army and have chickens as therapeutic companions to help with my PTSD and other mental health issues. So losing just one is unbearable and now a bobcat has killed eight. I’ve changed my routine, not letting them out as much or only when I’m around, but this bobcat comes at all hours. Additionally now he killed one through my chain link fence that I have in one part of my coop. When I called they said they would call me back but never did. Had they told me they were not interested from the start I could have explored other options. Maybe I should have told them I have a petting zoo then they would have come out for the publicity. Or maybe it’s because I live on the west side of town. Regardless of their reasoning, due to their insincerity and utter lack of professionalism, I needlessly lost another loved support pet.
Provider response
Francisco, I'm sorry to hear that your experience did not match our customer service standards.<br><br>I want to ensure that we have the correct contact information so please send us your phone number or email address so we can investigate what happened during this call.<br><br>We're committed to improving the quality of customer service and would love any feedback on how we could do better!
Becky O'Hara
Unfortunately, I can’t say the same. We called Jeff 9 days ago and he wanted us to start the work on our own, by actually feeding the critter (and who knows what else) and when I called him the next day when I found the baby restfully sleeping on the top of the porch, he asked me to send over my info. That was 8 days ago and haven’t heard from hm yet!! Very disappointing especially because they came highly recommended.
Provider response
Hi Becky,<br><br>Thank you for your feedback and I'm sorry to hear that we didn't live up to your expectations. We take all customer feedback seriously and will be addressing this with our team internally. If there is anything else we can do for you please don't hesitate to contact us.
Cami Blake
I tried to call to see if they could help and the person who answered the phone was very rude and hung up on me. it was late, but it says 24 hour service and was very rude and unapologetic about not wanting to help.
Provider response
We understand your frustration and ask that you would please give us another call for the chance to make it right. Thank you for your feedback and we hope to service your wildlife control needs in the future.
