Stephen is fantastic! He is friendly, caring, responsible and dependable. We went out of town on a…read morefamily vacation and needed a pet sitter. We have never all together, as a family, left the dogs home wile we went on vacation. Stephen kept in touch with us daily, while we were away. He took the dogs for walks twice a day and sent videos of our happy pups. Our dogs were calm and happy when we came home. If you need a pet sitter, I highly recommend Stephen with Four Paws OC!

My vacation was stress-free thanks to Ruff Life. It was my first time away from my 1 yr old cat and…read moreI was super nervous to leave her. Fortunately I found Eddie and he was very professional and kind. My cat didn't want to come out at their meet and greet but he wasn't worried about it since most cats are like that. After I left she warmed up to him right away. During my trip he took great care of my cat and sent multiple pictures every day, which helped me know she was okay and also helped a lot when I was missing her! I also super appreciated that he put our bins out and checked the mail since it was a longer trip. I will definitely use Ruff Life again.

I can honestly say that I have nothing but positive things to say about the care here at Cats Luv Us. Call and set up a tour and see for yourself!

This place said they offered a large contained space (about 10 x 8 cage) for our two cats. Turned…read moreout they only had access to this large space two of the 8 days we boarded our two cats. The rest of their stay was a box about 4 x 2 for the duration of their stay. When we picked them up, they were both sick: mouth breathing, eyes dripping and listless. Cost us over $500 in vet bills to help them, and over two weeks to recover. DO NOT USE THIS FACILITY! Get someone to come to your home and take care of them I your home. Buyer beware!

At the end of the day our pets won't be caring about how the place looks like as long as they are well taken care of. I wanted to come on here and give my honest opinion since I was looking at their reviews and saw the most recent one and I must say that person flat out lied. I talk to the lady that works there and they only offer morning tours due to their intense cleaning procedures that take place in the afternoon!Unfortunately some people don't respect their rules and just walk in whenever and demand a tour and when they are told no or that it will be short then they get mad and make false accusations! I was checking the place out and it makes sense to ask to see the place in the morning since the dogs are more clam and the employees have more time. The "hole" was actually their drain system that gets opened up for cleaning time after all the dogs go into their rooms. And I myself witnessed the big dogs enjoy playing rough with the kids play slide that they have in their daycare so obviously it will be torn off a bit. But there was not plastic pieces laying around so it safe to say that the toy is strong enough for the dogs. The smell was honestly not that bad. I mean they take care of all animals , so a little common sense would tell you that it will smell like animals. And I can re assure that all the occupied rooms had bedding and water. The lady answer all my questions and made me feel comfortable with leaving my dogs. The place is small and there isn't much to it but it feels homie. They send pictures every day. Also the owner and staff reply really fast and there's good communication. For pet owners that just need simple and chill care this place is for them. Also loved how straight forward and chill the workers are.

f I've been coming to Alicia Pet Care Center for many years,…read morespecifically working with Dr. Matthew Wheaton. I was originally introduced to this veterinary hospital by my dog trainer, Vladae from SoCal Dog Training and I'm very glad I followed that recommendation. Over the years, Dr. Wheaton and his team have taken excellent care of my chocolate Labrador, Bruno. Now with my new puppy, Nico, also a chocolate Lab, choosing Alicia Pet Care Center again was an easy decision. Dr. Matthew is extremely knowledgeable, but more importantly, he is straightforward and trustworthy which is rare and very valuable. Their extended hours, including full-day Saturdays, make scheduling very convenient. They also offer a drop-off service, which is incredibly helpful when things get busy. Overall, a reliable, a bit pricey, but professional, and honest veterinary clinic. Thank you, Dr. Matthew and team.

It's possible their regular vets are fine (hopefully), but their backup vet should be avoided if…read moreyou need to bring your pets here urgently. She recommends unnecessary procedures while using fear tactics, which is a shame. The backup vet was very incompetent. She recommended the wrong solutions and suggested imaging that cannot detect soft tissue issues. She never asked any history questions, examined the wrong area entirely, and jumped straight to worst case scenarios without justification. She spent only 5 minutes on the consultation and pushed for X-rays when in my dog's case, those weren't even necessary. X-rays are not the right protocol for soft tissue issues. I didn't have a choice as they were the only place open that day. A few days later my dog is completely fine because it wasn't actually that hard to fix. He had full anal glands that just needed to be emptied ... and this vet was pushing for X-rays and bloodwork instead One thing worth mentioning, she was very quick to suggest cancer or tumors without proper justification. What she may not know is that intact male dogs actually have hormonal protection that significantly reduces the risk of certain cancers in that area. A more knowledgeable vet would have considered this before jumping to worst case scenarios. This is basic intact male biology that should be understood before making such alarming suggestions to worried pet owners. That's why I usually just bring my dogs to my regular holistic vets in Irvine and Laguna Beach. To be fair, the regular staff are lovely. The vet tech was excellent, agreed with my decisions, and actually helped. So I do believe their regular vets and staff are much better. This one star is specifically for the backup vet. Please be very careful if they assign you to her.
