She is reliable, caring and knowledgeable. She works to accommodate my schedule and shows up when she says she will. She gives me updates by text of how my pugs did on their walk and alerts me if she has any concerns about their health. She was also aware on our first meeting that pugs can overheat easily (due to their short noses) and made it a point to say that she would be careful with them on hot days. She came over before I ever used her services for a meet and greet to understand my needs and to meet my pugs. I believe she is expanding her services also to Huntington Beach soon. I definitely recommend her if you need pet care!

She is extremely knowledgeable about both dogs and cats and keeps a very attentive eye out for any irregularities. She is honest and reliable. Can't beat that!

Kat was the first pet-sitter my husband and I used for our 16-month-old Cavalier, Dollie. I was…read moreanxious about leaving her for the first time, but after meeting Kat, I felt immense relief. Kat is experienced, knowledgeable, professional and was a natural with our precious fur baby. While we were away, Kat sent pictures of Dollie and communicated with us about how she was doing. Kat made the separation so much easier and I was able to enjoy my time away, knowing that Dollie was receiving excellent care. I absolutely recommend Kat and her services. We will be working with her again and again! Thanks, Kat, for your care and professionalism!!

We have used Kat to watch our animals on countless occasions. We have had a variety of pets over…read morethe years, to include two birds, one dog, an iguana and two crocodile skinks - all of which she has taken care of without hesitation and without fear. Kat has great experience and a strong background in animal care, so we never worry when they are in her hands. Our pit/lab mix dog does not like too many people, but he sure likes her. We call her regularly for day visits to feed our animals, or for overnight stays when we're out of town. Kat is reliable and trustworthy with your animals and your home.

The house was perfectly clean and the animals happy when we returned. She even gave them their daily medications- not a problem for her. She sends daily pictures and updates, so you can feel confident that all is well. Nothing but praise for Dawn.

We LOVE Riley!…read more She's not just a "dog walker", she actually understands more about dog psychology than most dog trainers! Our dog Nellie is a foster with a nervous personality, she's not your average easy going pup. It's hard to trust anyone with her because it takes a different level of skill and she could bite another dog if put in the wrong situation. When we met Riley it was the biggest relief, she was so up for the challenge. She even worked with our dog's current trainer on her own time to learn more about what Nellie (and other dogs) needed to be successful - how amazing! She uses a great app when walking so you get an email once the walk is completed showing where they went, if your dog pooped/peed and sometimes even a cute photo that will make you smile! We have no worries when we're gone that Riley has everything under control. She is one of the few people we trust with our pup :)

Beware of boarding your dog here! First we were told by the owner (Riley is not the owner anymore)…read morethat we were not allowed to come to the "boarding area" because they promoted pick ups only. I thought that was odd because who would not want to see the boarding facility first. They do NOT offer a 24/7 live cam which also led me to not trust them. I later talked to an employee van driver and he told me and my husband the dogs are kept in the garage in kennels, the bigger dogs are kept in the van in the garage with no air or ventilation AND-where it is dark. We were appalled and horrified. We called the Newport Beach Animal Control and found out Island Pooch doesn't even have a boarding license. Please do your research before you use ANY animal boarding. Island Pooch is definitely untrustworthy and does not care for animals if this is how they are boarding them.

Sylvia is a Godsend, and I mean that literally! While it's too long and too personal a story to…read moreshare details here, I've spent the last several years in a family caregiving situation in which I was unable to have a social life or enjoy my hobbies due to balancing full-time work and caregiving. Recently, I've been trying to reclaim some time for myself, but now I have two senior dogs with medical conditions to look after, and this alone makes it challenging to go out. Sylvia has made it possible for me to do so, thereby basically saving my mental health, haha. Every pet parent wants someone truly reliable whom they can trust, and Sylvia is absolutely that kind of person. She is not just genuinely knowledgeable and experienced, she is also just a kind, wonderful person who is easy to work with. I can't express how reassuring it feels to be out doing something you enjoy, but then also partly worried about your furry friends, and then to get a text update from Sylvia with photos (like the ones attached here) showing your beloved pets fed, medicated, and resting peacefully. I can't recommend Sylvia's services enough, but I also don't want you to book her too often because that's exactly what *I* want to do! LOL

She is a true professional and you can see that in the small details when you return from your trip-- she did an amazing job clearing our litter boxes and vacuumed for us even though we didn't even ask her to. My cat with special health needs has since passed but I still continue to use her since I know my cats are in good hands and they always seem so much happier when we come back now. The price is also very affordable for what you're getting.

It's hard to find someone to watch your cats who specialize in cats outside of a vet boarder. She makes sure the cats are taken care of and that they are eating and drinking and notices any sort of abnormal behavior. Overall, I would definitely recommend Betty and her services.

Betty is absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend her to anyone who truly cares about their pets. The best part is that she is VERY selective about the other animals that she watches and makes sure that your pet will fit in with the rest of the group. Thanks Betty for making Cocos numerous stays enjoyable for both me and her!

Jackie is simply amazing. She picked up our nine month old sheepadoodle, along with her crate and…read morefood and toys, and boarded her for the 5 nights we were away for the holidays. It was our first trip and the first time we needed to board our dog. Jackie followed our instructions perfectly, she dealt with things e hasn't thought about with common sense, and she always checked in by text on a daily basis... she knows how to handle almost any situation and keep your dog safe and happy. Quite frankly, we've owned dogs in the past and had to board them other places. This was the first time we felt no guilt or concern leaving a dog while we were away on a trip. In addition to all that, Jackie's two kids are equally amazing with dogs and provide a fun and playful home away from home. It also assured that our dog was being cared for basically all the time by someone on the team. I strongly encourage anyone who needs to board their dog to use So Cal Pet Pros. Your dog will thank you for finding such a great place for them to stay when you can't take them with you.
