I feel blessed that I found this place!

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.

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!

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!

I was introduced to Shannon 2 years ago through a friend who uses her services. Shannon is like…read morethat Veterinarian or car mechanic that once you find, you count yourself lucky to have, and you don't let go of. She is affordable, has 20+ years in the business as a Professional Vet Tech, your dogs trust her immediately, and you genuinely feel you can trust her too. My wife and I have 2 dogs : A 15 year old rescue that requires pills morning and night for her arthritis, and ear drops once a day for a chronic ear issue that must be kept at bay. Our other dog is a diabetic min pin who has gone blind due to the diabetes and occasionally now will sadly have seizers (not just anyone can care for these type of dogs) . Neither dog does well outside my home/yard these days, or with strangers. So boarding was not an option whenever our family needed to leave town I had to bother a close friend to come over daily and work around their schedule, etc. And I didn't trust the neighbor kid to follow through on timely feedings. Then I was introduced to Shannon. She is actually more affordable than a kennel/dr office, comes to my house twice a day walks, feeds, and medicates the dogs and my dogs never have to leave the house (A stress free situation for us all). And I feel safer about her doing this than a friend because she was a trained Vet Tech for years. We actually have Shannon do the ear cleanings and nail trim too. She comes to us, I don't have to load everyone to the Vet! And she charges is about the same as the Vet does! It' a life saver. You'll love her too.

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.

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.
