It's clear she genuinely loves dogs and takes the time to understand each of their unique personalities and needs. Our dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection whenever she's with them, and we always come home to happy, relaxed pups. Knowing our dogs are in such capable and compassionate hands gives us complete peace of mind whenever we're away. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, active, and genuinely caring dog sitter. She consistently goes above and beyond, and we're so grateful to have found her!

My babies, Penelope and Finnegan, love Vincent! I trust few people with my dogs, but I trust him…read more I've seen other dog walkers with way too many dogs at a time or dog walkers strolling around staring at their phones and paying no attention to the animals they should be watching. Finnegan was a high maintenance, medically difficult, adorable pug. Vincent was very gentle with him in his final days and could help me on a moment's notice. Now that Finn is gone, Vincent has helped Penelope adjust to being an only child and has helped her to socialize with some of the other dogs. She really only liked her brother but I'm grateful that she is learning how to interact with the other dogs in the neighborhood. I highly recommend Vincent to anyone needing dog walking or dog sitting.

Sarah and Maria are the best!…read more I really appreciate them coming through for us at the last minute when we needed help with our pet leopard gecko. Finding reliable reptile care in Orange County is rare, so I'm especially thankful they were able to help. Maria deserves a special shout-out because she handled all the legwork and immediately put me at ease with her reptile experience. From her very first visit, she took care of everything perfectly. 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.

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.

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!

As first time dog owners, training was a top priority for us. We have a pretty high energy puppy…read more(as most puppies are), so we wanted to make sure he started training early on. We also didn't want to go to a group lesson where we would have to re-teach "sit" 20 times if one dog didn't figure it out and ours did. All I can say is that Ryan was the best decision we could have made for training. Our 6 month old goldendoodle just finished his puppy training and is such a good listener now! Since training, he now: -Waits at the door and for his food -Stopped hopping on the top of our couch -Can sit & stay in busy places (one of our trainings was at Fashion Island during holiday time) -Walks with us and rarely pulls on his leash -Can sit, lay down, spin around, crawl, wait, etc. -Goes to his bed or crate when we tell him Ryan is quick to respond over the phone and truly cares about each of his clients' training success. He would sometimes call us in between trainings to check in & see if we were having any training issues/how training was going. I'm certain that if you go through Ryan you will 100% see a difference in your fur child!

I actually felt like training was fun(?!) and our girls were already making massive progress in the hour and a half we spent together. Ryan has a way of making you and your dog(s) feel totally comfortable and confident. He is extremely knowledgeable, energetic and ready to answer any question or concern you might have. Positive Reinforcement training is absolutely the way to go in our experience (we tried other methods but it just stressed everyone out). We HIGHLY recommend Ryan and look forward to building a great relationship with he and our pups in the future. Really looking forward to our next lesson! Thanks again Ryan!
