Just had to update my review for Ready Pet Go as their services remain consistently detail-oriented, conscientious, and stellar after more than 5 years -- most likely longer. (My records stop at 5.) I love their customized check-lists (which help me be a better pet caregiver), the hand-offs to ensure all's well, heartfelt kindness, and deft handling of the unexpected. It's a pleasure working with professionals at the top of their craft -- and the ultimate peace of mind when I travel. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. read more

Ready Pet Go Professional Pet Sitting Services - Quincy & Eli give Ready Pet Go 4 paws and 2 enthusiastic tails up! - Pet Sitting Near Me - Irvine, California

I recently hired Steve and Ready Pet Go to watch my cat while I was out of town for two weeks. It's a big deal to entrust your pet and your house keys to a stranger, but the consultation process Steve does in advance made me confident he and Ready Pet Go were the right choice. Steve and team were super professional, prompt, and communicative. Steve and team sent regular photo updates and even kept a written log of every visit. I'll definitely continue to use Ready Pet Go in the future whenever I'm out of town and need a trusted person to take care of my cat. Highly recommend! read more

Steve was such a help when I had to leave town unexpectedly. He came and did the requested visits to my cat. I received text updates and photos of my Mugsy to keep me informed. The apartment looked great when I returned home! You can tell Steve took the time to follow any instructions and go above and beyond with care. I would definitely recommend Ready Pet Go for pet sitting and care! read more

Steve has been our go-to professional when it comes to taking care of our cats & dogs & we trust him more than anyone to do the job. He truly loves animals and you can tell he is passionate about what he does. In fact, Steve had an incredibly important role in our wedding day, where I made the ridiculous request of asking if he could drive our dog to the wedding & back so the dog could be the ring bearer--which he did!--the dog was the star of the show, of course!! We highly recommend Steve for anyone looking for a pet sitter especially if you're looking for someone to treat your pets as if they were their own. Thank you Steve for caring for our furry family members so wonderfully!! read more

I so appreciate that I have found Steve to provide care for Sarah, my elderly JackRussell/Beagle. Having his loving, professional service available has allowed me the freedom to get out of the house more often, and for longer periods. Sarah is not suited (at all!) for daycare or boarding situations, and Ready Pet Go is definitely the answer--I can now leave with total peace of mind knowing that Steve will be visiting my home to provide care for her. Sarah was completely comfortable with him as soon as she met him, and I highly recommend his services. read more

Contacted them to arrange for a regular weekly dog walk for my American Pit bull terrier, and was told "Unfortunately, pit bulls are on our list of breeds we don't accept. Good luck." My dog is sweet and is a great walker. He is well trained. How sad in this day and age that someone cannot only discriminate, but also turn down regular business. Would never recommend them. read more

Recently I had to go abroad for a week, I was looking for a pet sitting service for my 2 furry friends. I used to go travel with them everywhere since I've adopted them 2 years ago, but 12 hrs of flight would be too risky fo them. When I moved to Irvine a couple of months ago, I've seen a car parked with an ad like "pet sitting service" -- it turned out that was Steve's car :) -- and I took a photo and saved his number, I thought I would need that service sooner or later. And finally, the thing happened, so I called Steve and asked a free consultation. By the way, Steve is super pet friendly. My two furry friends Cici(Maltese) and Coco(Maltipoo) are a bit barky, but Steve knows how to make friends with them. So they just became friends while the consultation goes! He introduced his services, and I chose the 'travel plan'. I got brief instructions to prepare before I leave. One-page guide is really important not only for Steve but also for my dogs. Even though he is a pro, he's not familiar with my dogs as much as I am. As he asked, I tried my best writing that guide as much as possible -- feeding, potty, going for a walk and so on. While I leaved, Steve sent me some email updates with a photo! It looked like they had good times. And when I came back, I was so satisfied with his daily notes!!! Steve wrote down everything he did for them!!! That was awesome! I can guarantee that no one can beat this kind of pet sitting service! I will try to stick with Cici and Coco, but if I have a situation, I will call Steve again. read more

Steve & his team are the best. We've used them for years and recommended them to friends and everyone has been happy with the service. We love the little notes they leave each day so we can see how our pets were when we get home! read more

We met Steve in 2006 as we had the need to have Pet sitting while we travel. We are extensive travel and we require the utmost care and love for our Cats. Well let us say that Steve and his company is second to none. He and his team not only care and love for our cats, he has saved 3 of our past 4 cats lives. 1st - He aided in caring for our DSM 17 year cat with renal failure by administering daily subcutaneous fluids daily for 2 years. Casey lived a normal healthy 3 additional years because of Steve. 2nd - He identified that Bella our DSM female had urinary bleeding while cleaning the liter. It saved her life of 2 very large bladder stones. 3rd After Casey passed on at 20 years old we adopted Oreo. A loving rescue who's biggest vice is he loves to talk, and we mean talk daily hourly and loudly. Oreo one day went into Inflammatory bowel disease attack where he could not eat for 2 weeks. After emergency surgery to give him a feeding tube, he was fed via that tube for 6 weeks until back to health. Steve was right there daily changing the litter and feeding Oreo while we were at work and giving him his medication. Oreo is back to full health and no longer needs to be fed. He's eating like a champ. Needless to say we would and don't trust anyone with our feline companions except for Steve. His company does the general stuff but you have to know that because of Steve's company and their service we employed While You R Away daily for 5 years!! Everyone should have a Steve and WYRA in their pet's life! read more

My boyfriend and I recently had Steve pet sit our cat during a trip we made to New York. He was absolutely fantastic and made us feel at ease the entire time. I was worried about leaving our little kitty alone during our trip as she needs medication twice a day and isn't alone that often. But Steve made sure she was taken care of. Steve is very meticulous and detail oriented and makes sure he takes care of your pet just as you would. He asks questions we didn't even think to address during the consultation, making us confident with our choice. He sent us pictures during our trip and let us know she was doing just fine :) we were actually able to enjoy our vacation knowing our cat was having a great time at home. Thank you Steve! We will absolutely use ready pet go for all future trips and have already recommended him to others! read more

I read the one star reviews for this company, especially Steve, and am completely shocked! If you actually read them you'll know they are not at all warranted. Steve and everyone at his company has been more than amazing to us and our entire family of pets. We've known about his services for a while but just recently started using him since we moved to the OC. He comes by for a complimentary consultation to get to know you and your pet, in my case a Scruffy little mutt, and to go through your animal's routine with you. He makes sure to check out your place and make any accommodations necessary. They also administer medications for free when you're away on vacation. While we were away, Steve sent me picture updates and messages regarding Scruffy and what a good boy he was being. They also leave you a report card on how he did on walks and how much food he ate, mood he was in, etc. I cannot thank him and Megan enough for being such amazing caretakers of my mutt! I will definitely be using them in the future and highly recommend them to others. read more

We have been using Steve and his team for several years and they are the only ones we trust with our pets. They are great about taking the dogs for long walks, feedin them, and providing their medication. They did the same for our cats before they passed. They are compassionate pet lovers, and it shows. They leave a great report from each visit so you know what's happened. We trust them 100% with our home and our pets! read more

I've used Steve and his team since 2009 and I've never been disappointed. Consistent, reliable, trustworthy. One of my dogs takes a long time to warm up to new people, but he liked Steve right away. I'm very picky about who enters my home and I have high standards on how I like my dogs taken care of, and I've never been disappointed. Highly recommend Steve, without reservation. Call or email him now! He is very prompt in getting back to you! read more

The best pet sitter I have used and its been nearly 10 years that I have been using them. I never worry about leaving town. RPG is dependable, responsible and thorough consistently. My cat is well taken care of every time. Many thanks! read more

My dogs might like Steve more than me at this point! Ready Pet Go is always professional, accountable and personable. I trust them 100% with my dogs. Highly recommended... read more

Ready Pet Go! is a dream come true for pet sitting needs! My husband and I were agonizing over where to leave our two dogs over a lengthy Christmas vacation this past year. We no longer wanted to leave our pets for long stays at local daycare for a variety of reasons and were searching for alternatives. The pet sitters we met via online sitter sites seemed unreliable. Fortunately we discovered RPG via a car decal and thought we'd give it a shot. We met with Steve that same weekend and he is incredible! He spent over an hour with us during his first visit to meet and learn more about our dogs (they loved him immediately) and their needs. We are very particular about our dogs' routine which was no problem for Steve. He was extremely detailed and takes thorough notes to understand how you care for your pups. He also answered our "tough" questions really well. After hiring this service for our 10 day vacation and being highly impressed with the attentiveness, we decided to use RPG regularly for daily walks and weekend getaways. Every interaction I've had with an individual at this company has been nothing short of exceptional. I am always blown away by the quick follow up on every text or email. In addition, payments are super easy and straightforward. We trust this service implicitly! Thanks to everyone at Ready Pet Go! read more

My wife and I used Ready Pet Go for the past year and all I have to say is they are the best! They are very professional and thorough in all categories of their business. Scheduling is easy and our dogs are always tired and happy at the end of the day! I cant even tell you how many times they saved us in a pinch when something came up and we had to be gone unexpectedly. If you are looking for pet care, you found the best! read more

We just moved to Irvine and did not know anyone who could take care of our cat for 2 weeks while on vacation. We ended up chosing While You R Away Pet Sitting since it is a business and not a private pet sitter. Steve came to meet us within a few days of our first contact by phone. He was very friendly and took his time to go over all the details. They took good care of our cat and our plant and we did not have any issues at all. During the trip, we had email updates as well as report cards that were filled out daily. Now we can have peace of mind every time we travel and have to leave our cat at home. Another great thing about dealing with a business is that they take credit card. read more

Steve and his team were amazing!! We have a high maintenance boxer that Steve managed flawlessly!! We relocated to Long Beach so we only used Steve's services for 30 days, but he treated us like he would a long term customer. He gave us peace of mind knowing our 4-legged friend was being taken care of over a holiday weekend and daily dog walks throughout the week. Thank you so much Steve, we will miss you!!!! read more

The staff at Ready Pet Go has been watching our furry family members for over seven years. Our dogs are always so excited to see them. Thanks to the RPG team we can travel and never worry about their well being. Steve and Megan are amazing! We highly recommend them to anyone needing care for their pets! read more

I am a business professional that balances work and life and my life would not be so amazing without my fury kids! I recently moved to OC from Pasadena and needed to find another sitter for my regular travel. I found Ready Pet Go on Yelp and made a call. Steve got right back to me and booked an appointment for meet and greet. I have two dogs and a cat. My little dog is 16 and can't see or hear well and my other dog is a rescue with anxiety over vets. Probably because she almost died and had to live there for 3 mo before I found her and brought her to her new forever home! My cat is a rescue too as a kitten and bring raided with people and dogs he thinks he is the combo of both. Eating with his paws like a human on the counter and riding on the car with his sister to run errands! Steve was so professional had everything organized, paperwork and recommendations. And my kids took right to him! His organized business works great for me as a busy executive that travels everything is booked, scheduled and handled via email and text. I get a report card each week of their visits and what they did while mom was working. I can't tell you how comforting it is to be able to enjoy my career and have some one care for my pets like I do when I am gone! They are able to stay home stress free instead of being boarded and stressed they are happy and well cared for! Thank you Steve and Team for being our extended family . read more

I decided to get a toy Maltese ended up getting 2. ( brother and sister ). I wasn't sure how I was going to manage 2 puppies while working and living alone. Most importantly trust a stranger in my home with my new babies. I called and emailed a few dog sitters in Irvine area, Steve was the only one to take the time to call and congradulate me. After meeting with Steve, I felt very comfortable and didn't interview anyone else. He sends pictures, writes a report on how they interacted during their visit. He cares and puppies are clean, and happy when I get home. I highly recomend Ready Pet Go. Thank you Steve. read more

Don't bother calling this service if you can't promise that you'll use them frequently. I called for service once a day (for three days) at $30.00 a visit. The owner would only visit 2x a day..$60/day. Although the price was double, I understood his reasons, and accepted this program. However, he then he made it very clear that my $180 was an inconvenience to him if I couldn't promise to use him frequently. He quizzed me about our amount of travel, and when I communicated that this was a special trip, we are not in a position to travel frequently, he pretty much cut me off. I'm certain that if he had been more gracious, I would have found a reason to use his service again. I am more disappointed by the way I was treated than the fact that I don't have a person to watch the critters! read more

Steve and his staff are FANTASTIC. My wife is a non-practicing veterinarian and has very high standards for anyone who looks after our pets. We have a dog who eats everything and an 18 year old cat with kidney failure that needs subcutaneous fluids. There is a negative comment in the review section that Steve is a "control freak". This is not true. Rather, Steve wants to know every detail about how to optimally take care of your pet in your home environment. He wants to do things the way you want them done. If you want your pet cared for properly, you WANT this attention to detail. This approach gives me peace of mind that I don't have to worry about anything being done incorrectly. With Steve and his staff, I have 100% confidence that my pets and my home will be looked after well and without problems. I don't worry about them while I'm away. Steve and his staff also clearly care about the animals and providing them with love and quality time. I recommend them without reservation. read more

Steve, Megan and the crew at Ready Pet Go are super friendly with my pets. My cocker spaniels are always happy to see them and they always give top notch care. I recommend you use Ready Pet Go for their personalized service for all your pet sitting needs! read more
