Because of his training background, we felt comfortable leaving our girl with him and knew he would be able to handle her when she got anxious. Ultimately, we were able to enjoy our much needed get away to Dana Pt and experience stress-free dining and activities while there. Thank you, Bruce! We will definitely be calling you again!

Over the 4 years my brother has owned this dog, he has never trained or socialized him and the dog was becoming territorial and aggressive in the room at the facility. Bruce did an amazing job with the dog, restoring the dog's confidence and getting him to obey commands. Even when my brother refused to cooperate with the lessons, Bruce continued to think of ways to help the situation. I would recommend PetsFriendForever without hesitation. Bruce is wonderful with the animals and is very good at communicating with the owners.

Fortunately I found Eddie and he was very professional and kind. My cat didn't want to come out at their meet and greet but he wasn't worried about it since most cats are like that.

During my trip he took great care of my cat and sent multiple pictures every day, which helped me know she was okay and also helped a lot when I was missing her! I also super appreciated that he put our bins out and checked the mail since it was a longer trip. I will definitely use Ruff Life again.

Unfortunately, I had to edit my drafted five star review down to a four star review because I feel…read morelike I was bait and switched. We are relatively new to OC Pup Scouts starting in Dec 2025, and have gone through the temperament assessment and puppy training, but now that we've "graduated" to the pack walks, they've changed their prices and increased them 10%. Seemingly nominal, but this should have been disclosed or at least acknowledged upfront when asking about the program and pricing. The walkers and admin have been great, and my pup seems to really enjoy the walks. It's just feels a little icky that they probably knew about the price increase and conveniently left it out when vetting the business. Maybe I just had unlucky timing with it, because they did say this price increase was the "first in years". I get it, cost of living goes up. I just wish they had been honest and upfront about it (or at least honor their quoted pricing for another quarter or two), hence the removal of a star. I was looking for a service where my pup could safely interact and socialize with other dogs, not necessarily for the walk itself, so I found what I thought would be a good pick in OC Pup Scouts. The pack walk services are great. The handlers all seem friendly and genuinely nice people. They will pick up your pup from your chosen location and drive them in a van to a park where they embark on an hour long walk at a time. I especially love that they provide you an update/pictures of their walks. The pups all seem to enjoy their time together. There have been a few last minute schedule changes that range from a few minutes to an hour delay, but they've been pretty consistent about communicating these. This is also to be expected when your clients are... well dogs, but I only mention it to warn others to be flexible. Overall, I'm satisfied with the services rendered. I am happy I found OC Pup Scouts, and would be happy to recommend them for their pack walks. Hoping that the prices remain stable for the foreseeable future, and they don't pull a Spotify and jack them up every year.
