Dan is so fantastic. I went with another company first and wow what a difference. Dan is very professional. He cares about the animals and it shows. 100% will use Plunkett’s solely because of Dan. I cannot sing high enough praises for him. So knowledgeable!!

I called for service as a new customer and received a return call the very same day. Serviceman was in my area the next day, so I was able to get very quick service. Serviceman was prompt, professional, friendly, knowledgeable and answered all my questions.

Thank you Plunketts for having an amazing customer service staff. From the first person I spoke to (I believe it was Robin) to Cole who came out to our house, your service is top notch. Cole got the job done in a timely and professional manner!
