How can such an aggressive man be a care taker of precious fur babies. I had seen an interaction…read morewith Jay and an employee of another company and the words that came out of Jays mouth were shocking. This gentleman was just doing his job and delivering his packages. We all know how hard these delivery people work and I could not believe the disrespect from Jay. Jay had so much anger inside of him and cursed the poor employee out for being in his way. I was in complete shock. Human beings should not treat each other in such manner. Jay has lost my respect and I have shared this interaction with my neighbors and friends. Please do yourself favor and find dog walkers who are warm and kind hearted. Jay has major anger issues. It was embarrassing and scary.

Not only does he take amazing care of our dog, but he also stays at our home when we're away, which gives us so much peace of mind. He treats our dog like her own -- daily walks, plenty of playtime, and constant love and attention. We always get adorable photo updates, and our house is just as tidy as we left it when we return. Knowing our dog is happy, healthy, and loved while we're gone is priceless. Highly recommend Matts Way to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and truly caring sitter!

This was my first time ever leaving my dogs with a professional dog-sitting company, and I was…read morehonestly nervous. Ever since my older dog was diagnosed with diabetes, it has been so stressful trying to find someone I can truly trust to care for her. I knew I needed someone reliable while traveling out of the country, and I'm so grateful I found this company. Maria was incredible--she sent multiple photos and updates every single day, which meant so much to me. She was thorough, attentive, and I could genuinely tell how much my pups adored her. It was such a relief to be able to fully relax on my trip knowing my dogs were being loved and cared for as if they were her own. Highly recommend!

One of our cats has severe separation anxiety and having Sarah there has been the only thing that's allowed us to travel! Sarah is immensely kind and respectful of our place, always leaving it spotless. She cares for our babies and home as if they're her own. She always sends pictures and updates and allows us to be away from home worry-free! Our whole family (especially our furbabies) loves her. Highly recommend!

I learned of Ela/Pawminded through a friend whose pup had trained and boarded with her. Her review…read morewas glowing, and I was excited to have Kohl, my rescue husky mix, trained while supporting a new female-owned, female-run business. Kohl loved his two weeks with Ela, and she was great about sending daily updates and communicating regularly. Kohl came back 1000 times better on his leash and made major progress on the laundry list of things I asked Ela to work on. Her video updates help train dog owners so that clients can maintain her methods once their fur babies return home. This is the essential part of training - training must continue in the home as well! I had a million questions after Kohl returned home to me, and she has been incredibly patient and thorough in answering them. Would highly recommend Pawminded to anyone!

I am so happy I found this place - was recommended by someone through word of mouth. It is wide open space for our dog to run, and I love that because it is SO much better than her being boarded in a room with 50 other dogs. Staff will send you updates - and we always get a picture of our happy dog with other happy dogs. Staff also sends a report card. Always respond asap when I reach out and ask how she's doing.

We love OC Dog Ranch... our dogs love it even more!!! We have boarded all 3 of our dogs (2 labs and…read more1 golden retriever) at the Ranch and one of ours has also stayed and been trained (1 lab). All of the Dog Ranch staff are amazing and truly care for all of the dogs. The property is a dog dream come true. The multiple acres are filled with play yards that include a swimming pool, play structures, etc. Every time I bring a dog to be boarded at the Dog Ranch something has been added or changed to improve the property. I love the new fence heights that were installed most recently (I have one jumper ). I give the OC Dog Ranch the biggest tail wags you've ever seen.

The staff at OC Pet Companions continually go above and beyond to take care of my pets, and I can rest easy knowing that my pets are well cared for when I am away.

They're genuine, trustworthy people who really care -- not just about your dogs, but about making sure you feel at ease while you're away. They always show up when they say they will, listen to every detail, and handle everything with care. We have two big bullies and one small Frenchie who don't always get along, and they manage them so well. They truly understand dog behavior and body language, and they just get it. Whether it's keeping the dogs calm, safe, or happy, they go above and beyond -- without you even having to ask. And on top of being amazing with our dogs, they're incredible house sitters. Every time we come home, the house is cleaner than we left it. They take out the trash, clean up after themselves and the dogs, and always leave everything spotless. This is a family business that's honest, experienced, and full of heart. Not many people out there like them. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets (and your home) like their own, you've found your people. Highly, highly recommend.
