    Aurora is the best! She's been caring for our pup since he was just a few weeks old (at the height of his teething/biting phase!). She's reliable, trustworthy, and super communicative. In every picture she sends, our dog looks goofy happy. She even helps with training tips!

    Aurora took great care of my two cats! She always gave them a little love and pets. We were away for a few days and they needed drop in visits a couple of times a day since they're elderly cats on wet food. She made sure they were fed, their bowls and litter were clean and even cleaned up around the litter box. I also got regular updates on the fur babies during the visits. Highly recommend! Make sure to book her in advance since her customer base has grown over the past few months from recurring clients.

    I can't say enough good things about Animal Villa in Anaheim Hills. I've boarded my puppy here twice and also used their daycare service last minute, and every experience has been fantastic. Aurora is absolutely wonderful; her home truly feels like a pet haven. She has everything set up for the animals (leashes, crates, litter boxes, toys), and my dog Jack is beyond excited every time he sees her. He doesn't even know what to do with himself! Aurora sends photo updates throughout the day, which gives me so much peace of mind knowing Jack is having the best time. We even tried her bathing service, and Jack came home so clean and smelling amazing. She's been a total lifesaver when I've needed last-minute care, and I feel so lucky to have found her. Highly, highly recommend Animal Villa if you're looking for someone who will treat your pup like their own!

    I found Aurora and Animal Villa through word of mouth. My dogs had previously been going to Bark City in Huntington Beach, which they love, but one of them is terrified of fireworks and since we were going away for the Fourth of July, that wasn't going to work! Animal Villa has been a game changer. The personalized care and attention my dogs receive puts me completely at ease, and I can enjoy my vacations knowing they're in the best hands. I get texts and photos throughout the day with updates which I appreciate so much! They go on multiple daily walks and trips to the dog park for playtime with other pups. When they come home, I get looks like, "What are we going to do today?" and "I'm bored!"

    My pup Cassian & I had the most amazing experience with the team at Animal Villa! It was my first time boarding my pup for a full week and I was a little nervous to see how Cassian will do in another person's home (he's a little shy). I really appreciate Aurora's reassurance and communication throughout his entire stay. With Cassian's feeding instructions and daily to-do's, I made a Google doc & video with detailed information, which Aurora and her team fully understood and followed. I really appreciate the team following these instructions to ensure Cassian's routine is consistent. Seeing Cassian living his best life at the Animal Villa made me so happy :') Aurora and her team made sure to provide daily updates / photos, and any questions I had would be answered right away. Cassian thrives in an environment with other dogs, so seeing him going on daily walks and trips to dog park made me very happy! After our experience at Animal Villa, I now feel more comfortable planning future trips because I know that Cassian will be in good hands. Thank you Aurora and the team! Cassian also says thank you!

    Aurora is absolutely amazing with my dog Kiko. Eevery time we arrive Kiko is so excited to see him it's clear how much she loves being there. Aurora is incredibly caring at tentative and treats every dog as if they were his own what really sets Aurora apart is how proactive he is when it comes to the dogs well-being. He's great at noticing potential health concerns and even offered to take Kiko to the vet on his own time when he was worried about her the level of care and dedication is rare and so appreciated. I always feel at ease knowing Kiko is safe happy and getting plenty of love and exercise if you're looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond your dog, Aurora is the one to!

    I Highly recommend Animal Villa. They are my go to petsitter. Frankie, my Cavalier mix looks so happy to see them coming and looks forward to all the walks and attention he gets while mom and dad are way. Love the special touch of all the pictures of his adventures. I've used them multiple times now.

    We couldn't be happier with Aurora and the team at the Animal Villa! Our beloved dog, Chubbs, absolutely adores them and gets so excited every time he sees them. Chubbs is very much a "COVID fur baby" - he's used to always having a companion and has never really been left alone. We knew we couldn't just find any dog sitter; we needed someone who Chubbs would not only feel comfortable with but genuinely love being around. Aurora and her team are everything we hoped for and more. They are so sweet, dependable, and attentive, and they truly have a special way with pets. They keep Chubbs happy and entertained with walks, sunset hikes, trips to the dog park - and they always send us the cutest update photos, which makes being away from him so much easier! Every time Chubbs comes home after a stay at the villa, he's in such good spirits--and usually sleepy from all the fun (a tired dog is a happy dog!). We're so grateful we found Aurora and The Animal Villa. It's clear that they don't just watch pets; they love and care for them like family. Highly, highly recommend!

    Alfred had the best time at Animal Villa! This was the first time our fur baby slept somewhere away from us and he did so well! So grateful for Aurora and her services. Definitely recommend! I felt so safe with my pup in her hands, and she sent regular photo updates as well. Alfred made some friends!

    Teddie

    I can't say enough wonderful things about Aurora at Animal Villa !Finding someone to care for my dogs, especially Teddie, was something I was really nervous about. Teddie has a traumatic past--he was abused and abandoned--and as a result, he has a lot of behavioral issues, including biting. It's not easy for him to trust people. But from the very beginning, Aurora approached both Teddie and FiFi with such calm, gentle energy. She was patient, loving, and truly took the time to understand Teddie's needs. I've been amazed at how comfortable and relaxed he is with her now--it honestly brings tears to my eyes. Aurora has gone above and beyond to make sure both of my dogs feel safe and loved, and I feel 100% at peace knowing they're in her care. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly gifted with animals, I highly recommend Aurora. She's been a blessing to our little family!

    Our pupper was so well taken care of and had the time of his life at Animal Villa. They took him on so many adventures, sent over at least 4 photos a day, and made sure he was the happiest boy! We can't recommend Animal Villa enough. We didn't have to worry about our Benji at all while we're out of town and knew he was having fun with his new friends!

    I am truly grateful I found this stay for our pup! We moved to Villa Park and were looking for a place where our pup would be treated well and cared for. Aurora and her team went above and beyond. The home is tailored to pets, it really is like a hotel for them. Anyone who treats our little fur baby with the kind of care they did deserves above a 5 rate! Would highly recommend.

    Aurora's animal villa is fabulous! We are so glad we found her! We were so stressed about leaving our pet while out of town. She updated us several times a day with pics of our dog. He got several walks a day and got to go to the dog park to play! We cannot say enough about how happy we are with Aurora's Animal Villa! We highly recommend their services!

    Meeting the gang!

    Holly's Happy Trails is the very best pet sitter around. We met with Holly at our home and knew…read moreright away she was the perfect person for our doggies. We chose to have Holly come by a couple times a day and look in on our doggies. Holly bonds with you 4 legged kids and treats them like her own. I would trust Holly with my doggies any time. Holly took great care of my doggies while we were on vacation. While on vacation Holly took care of everything with my doggies. We received update pictures every day and sometimes a few pictures a day. We even got a couple videos to look at. Very nice!! She made sure all was clean and well taken care of during her visits. Our doggies were so happy when we got home and they were clean and so was my home even when we have a boy that is a messy eater. Holly's pricing is good for the services she provides your 4 legged kids. Being sure your 4 legged kids are well taken care of is a big relief. Holly will provide that peace of mind you're looking for!! That is a very big deal to us and I am sure you to when it comes to your pets. I would recommend Holly to anyone that wants their 4 legged kids well taken care of in your home. Holly is the very best!!! I wish I could give her 10 stars, she was that good!!!!!

    I was looking for dog boarding at the very last minute and Wendy was very accommodating in taking…read morein my 2 dogs. I literally booked with her 2 days before the stay. My 54 lb Jindo does not do well with strangers, she is all bark but no bite. I was very anxious bringing her to any dog care but Wendy was willing to do an assessment prior to their stay. This was my very first time doing any sort of dog care so I was really worried about leaving them. They did really well and my other dog had so much fun (he's a social butterfly). The main reason I chose this place vs all the other dog boarding is because they offer a "home" living experience rather than a facility/warehouse. My dogs always freely roams the house and lays on our bed, couch, wherever they please so I wanted something similar and Wendy's house provided that. I couldn't bare the thought of them being kept in a narrow sleeping quarter locked throughout the day. Thank you for taking great care of my babies! This place will definitely be my go-to for any future dog boarding.

    August 11th The Day We Lost Louie…read more Our six-year-old French Bulldog, Louie, died from heatstroke just two and a half hours into what we were told would be a four-hour trial day at this daycare. We were told the purpose of the trial was simply to see whether Louie could get along with other dogs. We were never told that he would be taken to a dog park or participate in strenuous outdoor activity. We chose this daycare because the owner told us she owns a French Bulldog herself, and because the daycare had very good reviews. We trusted that our French Bulldog would be understood and properly cared for. What happened that day is something we will never forget. 9:00 AM -- We dropped Louie off for his four-hour trial. 9:30 AM -- Just 30 minutes later, Louie was taken to a dog park for outdoor activity without our knowledge. We had never been told that he would be taken off the daycare premises or to a dog park. The temperature that day ranged from approximately 77°F to 85°F. 10:18 AM -- According to the daycare, Louie vomited after the activity. We were not informed when it happened. 11:30 AM -- More than an hour after he vomited, we received a photo of his vomit. At the same time, we were communicating about payment and completing a reservation for his future stay. We were given no indication that Louie was experiencing a potentially life-threatening emergency. 11:45 AM -- We received a phone call telling us that Louie was not breathing. 12:00 PM -- Louie was pronounced dead from heatstroke. Our dog went into the daycare alive and healthy at 9:00 AM. By noon, he was dead. What is especially devastating is what we learned afterward. We were told that they had never seen Louie breathing so heavily before. We were also told that they had tried giving him water, but he was vomiting. For a French Bulldog, excessive panting, vomiting, and difficulty breathing in hot conditions can be serious warning signs of overheating and heatstroke. French Bulldogs are particularly vulnerable to heat because of their shortened airways and difficulty cooling themselves efficiently through panting. Yet during the critical period when Louie was apparently struggling, we received no immediate warning and no update about his condition. The owner was also not present at the daycare at the time. We later learned that she had a doctor's appointment, which contributed to a delay in communication. While the adults were dealing with schedules, appointments, and communication, Louie was suffering--and we knew nothing. This was supposed to be a simple four-hour trial to see whether Louie could socialize with other dogs. We never agreed to have him taken to a dog park in temperatures reaching 85°F. We never imagined that he would be subjected to strenuous outdoor activity in hot weather. We are devastated that Louie was placed in this situation while in someone else's care. We trusted this daycare because we believed they understood French Bulldogs. That trust was shattered in the worst possible way. Louie was in their care. We trusted them to keep him safe. We expected him to come home. He never did. Louie was not just a dog. He was part of our family, and we will never get him back.
