A personal message from our founder
Welcome to Creature Comforts Great & Small
A letter from Paul Flotron, Owner & Founder
Dear Creature Comforts Family,
As the owner and founder of Creature Comforts Great & Small, LLC, I am writing to share the story, heart, and passion behind the customized professional pet care services we have proudly provided to our community for the past 17 years.
This website is the fruit of my labor, born out of a profound passion and lifelong love for working with animals. I invite you to step inside, explore our world, and take a personalized tour of our digital home. I encourage you to become truly engaged with us: ask questions, share your own experiences, and celebrate your love for animals by reading our brand-new blog. I am incredibly excited to step into the role of content creator and writer, bringing my decades of animal expertise directly to you. Even better, I invite you to become a part of our community by submitting your own stories and articles to be featured on the site!
Our Foundation and True Calling
My journey with animals began in early childhood, raising and showing Miniature Schnauzers in competitions throughout Texas. Inspired deeply by Dr. M. Scott Peck's book The Road Less Traveled, I began dedicating my adult life to animal welfare, pet therapy, and pet ministry in 1997.
In 2008, I established the Noah's Ark Animal Lovers Group at Grace Church. Laying this groundwork ultimately led me to answer my true calling. In 2009, I made the conscious choice to leave my corporate background in international trade, sales, and marketing to focus fully on professional pet care and putting perfectly tailored doggy adventures and field trips into daily practice.
Unparalleled Safety and Trust
We take your animal companion's health, happiness, and well-being with the utmost seriousness. Creature Comforts Great & Small, LLC is fully insured, bonded, reliable, and trustworthy.

What Real Clients Are Saying
Our clients travel with total peace of mind, knowing their pets are having the time of their lives. Here is what Ryan and Chelsea Klamen recently shared about their experience:
"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! Paul takes the absolute best care of him. He takes him on fun adventures and makes him feel so loved. We can now travel happily knowing our dog is on vacation too."
