As an animal lover, I have worked as a volunteer for 5 shelters/rescue groups, wolf handler for…read morepack of 6, caregiver to retired movie star animals including 6 penguins. Not to mention previously employed as contract worker for 2 Pet Sitters in Orange County companies. Penny's gift for befriending and caring for my 2 dogs eclipsed even my experience. In the 2 years I've served as guardian for a feral golden retriever, Maddy, who was rescued in Taiwan I had never been spent a night away from her. Permitting anyone other than myself to even hold even hold Maddy's leash (she bucks like a bronco) Maddy refuses to be touched by anyone but me. My other dog, Skippy, loves everyone but I dared not allow him to be walked as they've never been separated. So what beside feeding and potty pickup could a pet sitter do? Here comes Penny who had Maddy eating out of her hand at first visit. Say what? Penny has a near magical way with animals and found creative ways to engage my fear driven dog. Penny proceeded to bring her pets, Oreo and Snickers, to turn every visit into a doggy play-date. Then she brought 2 friendly pups she was pet sitting and made my backyard a small dog park. (Penny had my authorization to do so. Daily she brought treats and toys to my furbabies and sent multiple videos showing the 6 dogs playing together. Rather than feel guilt spending Christmas away, I was glad that Penny opened the horizon of comfort for my feral dog. Her first visit during Christmas rush, whereby I'd expect 20 minutes in my home, resulted in an hour plus visit. Upon my return I only wish I could afford Penny 's services to continue to acclimate my fear driven Maddy to learn to trust humans. Penny's prices are reasonable and a bit higher than some, but what with gifts for both me and my pups over Christmas, and her self-motivation to put my dogs' need beyond paid time to sit, made her the best deal available. I'll never settle for less as long as Penny is available! * Expect videos or pictures on each visit **Penny's contract advises she does not accept aggressive dogs. But shy or fearful pets are her forte.

I've found this business through a pet sitters website, and decided to contact them to interview…read morethem. I met Shannon. I found her to be lovely, responsible, reliable, honest, and trustworthy. I've been using their pet sitting services for 2 1/2 years, now. Shannon takes great care for my almost 18 year old, Ragdoll Cat. My cat adores her! Although, she's a special needs kitty, Shannon assured me that they would take great care of her while I'm away. I have found their prices to be a little high, but this service is worth the peace of mind. They pick up mail, scoop cat litter, feed, water, brush, and administer medications. What they do not do is administer IVs, which my Kitty needs 3 times a week. I'm very happy with their services, and I gladly recommend them. I've dealt with Linda very little. Shannon is a gem! She responds quickly, while I'm away to check in, and sends me photos of my fur baby! Be specific on what you need for your pet or pets, and it'll get done, if they can do it. And book way in advance, if you know your vacation dates. They do get booked! While You R Away Pet Sitting are professionals, and I feel at ease with professionals! They are worth every penny! Thanks for reading, Yelpers!!!

When I first spoke with Lynn, she suggested that her son, Jared, meet Briar before we left. At their very first meeting, Jared was able to take Briar for a successful walk. We met with him several more times before our daughter's wedding, and with his calm, patient approach, Briar became more comfortable each visit. By the time we left for the wedding, Jared was walking all three dogs together--and Briar didn't even need her muzzle. I can't thank TLC, Lynn, and especially Jared enough. Jared was absolutely wonderful with all of our dogs, and his kindness, confidence, and understanding of Briar made all the difference. He completely eased our worries about leaving them while we were away, and we're so grateful that he'll continue helping us work with Briar. If you're looking for someone who truly understands dogs and goes above and beyond, I highly recommend TLC Pet Sitting. Thank you, Lynn and Jared, for your exceptional care and for giving us such peace of mind!

We made a trial visit to her home and our puppy fit right in. She goes above and beyond while caring for her dogs. Sends pictures, makes daily local dog park trips, walks, spoils with treats and even helps with some training issues. She truly loves what she does. I feel like our puppy is at a family members house while we are gone. I love that our puppy is in a home environment and is cared for in an individualized manner. She really gets to know each of her dogs. Romey loves going to Aunt Gails and really misses all of his furiends when he comes home. We are so blessed to have found such a wonderful second home for our puppy. We never worry about a thing when we are away.

I would give her more than five stars if I could! I highly recommend Critter Sitters for reptile pet sitting. We'll be bringing our dog in for pet sitting next time, and I'll definitely be back with another review--but for reptile care, you're absolutely in great hands with Maria. Steve R.
