I contacted Bid Dawg'z via Yelp. Jill was very helpful in recommending which service Clyde would need and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. The dog walkers came the day before his first scheduled walk. Eric and Zach were awesome. Clyde (my doggie) warmed up to them instantly. I was gone from Friday to Monday. They walked him twice a day for an hour. They sent me photos of him during his walk. He looked like he was having a blast. I am definitely hiring them again.

We were SO lucky to have stumbled upon Big Dawgz Pet Biz. There is NO ONE else we could trust our fur babies with when it comes to letting someone into our home and handling our kids for a walk while we are away. (We are very particular about that) All I can say is that they treat our boys like their own and that is a peace of mind you can't buy anywhere. Their handlers are specially trained and experienced in dog walking, doggie health, and doggie training. By the way, they take pictures of your pups while you are away. We received a personalized book filled with beautiful photos of our babies. I can't believe how much we've learned about our Charlie and Hugo when we were not home... If anyone needs a dog sitter or dog walking service... I urge you to meet with Big Dawgz Pet Biz. They service many areas in OC and are expanding. They are very intimate with dog lovers and the community such as "dog whisperers" like Vladae and Ceasar Millan. We our fam @bigdawgzpetbiz2007

She came daily to care for my cats while I was out of town and she went above and beyond. She spent more time with my cats than any previous sitter. She spent about an hour daily including feeding the cats and giving them fresh water, cleaning the litter box, taking in mail/packages, adjusting lights and drapes and just giving the cats love and attention. Each day she would send many pics and information about my cats. On the day we flew back we didn't ask her to take care of the cats since we were arriving home late that night but she asked to stop buy and refill the foods/water and clean the litter box just to keep everything nice and fresh for them. We are so impressed, we would never use another cat sitter.

I can confidently say that our two cats were comfortable during Tiffany's care. Daily videos from her put our mind at ease that all was well.

Tiffany's Pet Care is highly recommended!

And I was able to enjoy my vacation worry-free, with the knowledge that he was happy and safe.

Highly recommend!

Putting my GSD Zeus through Saul's board & train program was the best decision we could've made!…read moreZeus was a very anxious pup, was incredibly reactive to other dogs & had a bite history. It made it very difficult for me considering I'm 5ft tall & he is abnormally tall & 105lbs. Our mail goal was to work on Zeus' reactivity & anxiety. During the program, Saul updated me with pictures & videos as often as I requested. I was never concerned about Zeus' wellbeing because I knew Saul was taking great care of him. Once the program was over, I couldn't believe the progress my pup had made! He was physically fit, obedient & definitely less anxious! He now has reliable commands that I use on a day to day basis and have truly given me my sanity back. The foundation that Saul set made it possible for me to continue his training back at home. Obviously there's always work to be done, but it would never have been possible without Saul. Before the program I wouldn't even be able to take a nice walk with Zeus, now, we have amazing park days where he roams around off leash living his best life. Before, I couldn't be 50ft away from another dog without my shepherd completely freaking out. Now, we're able to do our training right outside a dog park & not have him completely embarrass me the whole time. If I had to, I'd do it all over again. Zeus lives a much happier life & I have my sanity back. Having a GSD is not for the weak, but having a trained GSD will really change your life for the better. I always make sure to thank Saul for all he's done for us. If you're looking for a dedicated, knowledgable trainer, you've come to the right place. 10/10 PS. Zeus turned 2 during this time & Saul bought him a birthday cake!!

We sent our pitbull Voltron to Saul at Ravenous K9 for a 7-week board & train, and I can honestly…read moresay it was one of the best decisions we've ever made for her -- and for us. Voltron had issues with reactivity, and we were at a point where we knew we needed expert help. Saul not only worked with her daily for nearly two months, but he also involved us in the process, listening to our concerns and goals with genuine care and respect. He's incredibly kind, always patient, and never once made us feel rushed or pressured into anything unnecessary. Every session was focused, purposeful, and rooted in compassion for our dog. What really stands out about Saul is that he truly cares. It's not just about obedience or commands -- he wants your dog to thrive, to be confident, and to feel safe. He treats every dog like his own, and it shows in the progress we saw with Voltron. She came home calmer, more responsive, and so much more at ease with the world around her. Saul also offers boarding services for those times when you just need someone you trust to watch your dog. He gives each dog plenty of one-on-one attention, and knowing our dog would be in such good hands gave us total peace of mind. Not only is Saul an amazing trainer, but he also uses some of what he earns to help run a rescue that gives other dogs a second chance at life. Supporting someone like that -- who is both skilled and selfless -- is a no-brainer. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog with love, treat you with respect, and deliver real results, Saul is hands down the best trainer around. Ravenous K9 gets our highest recommendation.

The top words I use to describe Paws Up are Loving, Contentious, Responsible and Dependable. I highly recommend Suann of Paws Up! When I come home my pets are relaxed, healthy and happy to see me. As if I had been here the whole time and returned from the store vs being away for weeks. For me, Suann feeds, cleans the litter boxs, actively plays with the cats, gives fresh water and puts kitty entertainment on the TV when she leaves. I feel relaxed knowing Suann is taking care of and loving my pets while I am away.
