Rosemary Klein

Valued client of more than 16 years. Prominent corporate attorney and senior corporate executive who has served as General Counsel for major corporations. Recognized as one of the Most Influential Business Women by the St. Louis Business Journal.

Paul, the owner of Creature Comforts, has been providing services for my two dogs for a number of years. He provides a wide variety of services. On an ongoing basis, Paul takes them for walks in the park, does obedience training and helps keep the yard clean. He also takes them to the vet and groomer. Paul also stays at the house and watches them when we are out of town.

I highly recommend Creature Comforts. Paul is the best of the best! First, my dogs absolutely love him. Paul spoils them to death. They actually wait at my front door for him to arrive. Paul is trustworthy, dependable and passionate about animals. When we are traveling, I have such a sense of comfort that my dogs and the house are being well-taken care of. Paul communicates every day on status, sending pictures and giving general updates. Paul goes the extra mile.

Nancy Fox

St. Louis's own creative genius who loves to write and create brilliant musicals.

I've known Paul since he first started Creature Comforts Great & Small 17 years ago, and I can recommend him without hesitation.

Paul was there for me with my two aging Weimaraners, and I always knew they were in the very best hands. Over the years, he's also cared for my next two dogs, and I continue to rely on him whenever I go out of town. That kind of trust is earned, and Paul has earned mine time and time again.

He is 110% reliable, responsible, and truly amazing with animals because he genuinely cares about their well-being. His compassion, professionalism, and dedication give you complete peace of mind.

If you're looking for someone to walk your pets or care for them while you're away, Creature Comforts Great & Small is exactly who I would recommend. Your pets will be treated like family, and you can feel confident knowing they're receiving exceptional care.

Sallie & Gerry Guerra

Legal eagles par excellence who lead with the absolute biggest hearts.

Paul Flotron is the animal whisperer! We have had the good fortune of having Paul care for our dogs over the years and he was amazing! Paul is thorough, detail oriented, conscientious and so kind and loving to people and their pets. He is such a pure hearted human being and the animals he cares for sense that immediately. Paul is a real blessing to all of the lucky people, both furry and human whom he serves with such joy and care every day. The only bad thing about Paul is that he can't be cloned. We need many more of him on this earth. Thank you Paul!

We are so fortunate to have Paul to watch our french bulldog. Our dog stays with Paul as a VIP guest while we are away and he is always so happy and loves being with Paul!

Jay & Ruth Rainey

Highly prestigious private school heads who are absolutely wonderful individuals.

We were referred to Paul, of Creature Comforts, by a neighbor for dog walking services. It was very easy to coordinate a meet and greet so that we could learn more about his background and let him meet our dog. It was immediately clear that he was professional, knowledgeable, caring and loved working with animals. We needed occasional dog walks for our golden retriever, and each time we requested a walk, he responded to us promptly to confirm. After each walk, Paul sent a video and/or pictures to document their time together. I honestly think anyone would be lucky to have Paul care for their animal. I had complete peace of mind using his services!

Bobbi & Tim Breckenridge

The very most caring, amazing family.

I'm so grateful my dad introduced us to Paul! He has been walking our golden for a few years and he often dog sits for her as well. Paul is one of the kindest and most generous people I have ever known. He has always accommodated us even with super short notice. We can count on him no matter what. We feel so fortunate to have someone so amazing taking care of our Poppy girl. She gets so excited to see Paul each time and it warms my heart. He's extremely knowledgeable and so natural and loving with every dog. We recommend Paul to everyone we know. We trust him and consider him to be family now. We even tell our Poppy "Uncle Paul is here!"

Joyce Kramer, Esquire

Highly skilled, respected and gifted attorney, and a huge animal lover who cares deeply for her animal companions.

Paul has been walking, house sitting, loving and caring for my two Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers for about two years. In sum, Paul is a unique, dedicated, responsible, knowledgeable, understanding, concerned, trustworthy, faithful professional.

Specifically, Paul is an animal lover, who has bound his love to his work. Always concerned and aware, he is there if and when you need him. His concern for my pets, his constant considerations of what is needed and his interest in making his work the best it can be, continue to amaze me.

His charges are very reasonable and I recommend him without any reservations.

Creature Comforts is like an assured peace of mind when my husband and I travel, which has been quite frequently. Paul Flotron is amazingly professional and reliable. He always keeps us posted of how the dogs are doing and also keeps a really neat log of details for our return reading.

I would highly recommend Paul to anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced, wonderful companion and caregiver for our dogs, and genuinely the most hardworking, trustworthy person I know. He goes above and beyond to assure our fur babies and home are well cared for.

Tracy L., CRNA

Valued clients for over 12 years. Tracy Lanes is a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist who practiced at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and the St. Louis VA, served as Chief Nurse within the 932nd Airlift Wing, and holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Air Force Reserve, with additional service in the U.S. Army Reserve.

I am very lucky to be one of Paul Flotron's clients. I met him in February 2014 and hired him to walk, feed, pet, take care of, massage, and sing for my two dogs, Pumpkin and Spice. My job requires me to be away 3–4 times a month. My little dogs have adopted Paul as 'theirs'. Whenever I know Paul will be coming to feed and walk them, I tell the dogs 'Paul will see' them and they wag their tails.

As a pet care provider, Paul is the best. I have had others who scared my dogs, or simply let them loose in the backyard without walking them for socialization and exercise. Paul always provides feedback on my dogs' activities which I appreciate. The best thing he does is take pictures of the dogs and texts or puts them on Facebook so I can feel at ease. My puppies are always happy, smiling, and giving kisses in the photos Paul takes.

Rest assured, your beloved pets are in great hands with Paul Flotron, and I worry a lot less about leaving my dogs for work or vacation when Paul takes care of them.

Barbara and Matt Carswell

Matthew (Matt) Carswell is a prominent business executive and former corporate attorney, recently retired as the long-serving President of Flanagan-White Express and Flanagan-White Delivery. Barbara Carswell is a respected leader in the St. Louis philanthropic sector, currently serving as CEO of the YouthBridge Community Foundation of Greater St. Louis.

We entrust our two dogs, Annie and Henry, to Paul, who takes them on daily outings, and who moves into our home and takes care of them when we go out of town. On the daily outings, Paul provides the highest level of care with lots of love and attention, vigorous exercise at varied parks in the area, and regular training. Paul also provides a written daily summary of each day's outings.

When we go out of town, Paul commits a high percentage of time to being at home with and providing attention to Henry and Annie, in addition to the continued daily outings. We also receive daily texts with pictures and updates describing each day's activities, and have the great comfort of knowing that our dogs, and our home, are in great hands.

Besides personally witnessing Paul's devotion to Annie and Henry, their highly enthusiastic reaction whenever Paul arrives makes it clear how well he takes care of them. We've been very fortunate to have great pet caregivers over the years, but Paul is head and shoulders at the top of the list. He is also very reasonably priced considering the level of care he provides. We would highly recommend Paul to handle your pet care needs.

She has been with Unity Hospice for over 20 years, originally joining in November 2005 as the Corporate Director of Volunteers, where she managed volunteer programming for the St. Louis, MO, and Collinsville, IL offices.

I was able to witness not only the spirit Paul brings to the situation, but also the organization and teamwork. Paul has recruited an army of volunteers to help him in this endeavor to make a difference in people's lives. These individuals have touched patients in our own hospice settings. When words are too complex to reach across limitations occurring in the minds of our patients, Paul, his army of volunteers and pets cross that barrier with their energy and spirit of love!
