Summer at Big Kahuna Pet Care is a sweetheart. She spends time giving your pets TLC. She sent…read morepictures of our beloved kitties every day, and showed she got to know them, their unique personalities (which our former petsitter did not do- she did not even remember their names). Summer has many years as a vet tech and it shows. She is knowledgable about cats and the different medical issues they can have. She took great care of our sweeties, sent many updates, and even watered our roses!

My husband and I adopted our dog Paisley at the end of August and needed someone to check on her…read moreduring the day while we're at work. Summer is seriously a life saver. She is so patient and comforting with Paisley who has lots of separation anxiety issues since we got her. Summer sends me updates when she's with Paisley and pics so I know our little girl is doing ok. I feel totally comfortable having summer in our home and with our dog. If you want someone who will love and take care of your precious pets just as you would I highly recommend contacting Summer.

I started using Rise and Bob because they were the local dog walkers that also happened to be…read moreneighbors. It turned out to be the best decision ever!! They always treated my dog with so much love and personal attention. It's what any dog parent could hope for. She went totally above and beyond for me several times when I got stuck at work and my dog needed to go out. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Wonderful people with big hearts who seem to love and treat your dog just as much as you do!

The couple that own this company, Rise and Bob, used to be my neighbors. They were really nice but…read morekind of neurotic about their dog. They cooked him his own food, made a homemade garlic tincture for flea-prevention, and took him to a homeopathic vet. They made me feel like a bad dog-owner in comparison (I share my steaks, let them sleep on my bed and walk them all the time, so I'm not all bad...) Anyway, one day they told me they were starting a dog-walking business and I thought, "There were never more perfect people made to be in the pet caring business." I immediately signed up. (I even used to work at a vet, so for me to trust someone with my animals is huge!). They are the most wonderful pet sitters I have ever come across. My dogs, Ethel and Chiquita, are 10 and 8, respectively, and I have never entrusted them to anyone in the entire time I've had them (which is their whole lives). But Rise and Bob care for them better than I do. A few times I've had to go out of town and they've visited my girls at the kennel to take them for walks. They also are very observant and let me know when one of my dogs had worms (and I used to work at a vet!! I should have been the one to notice!). Anyway, I can't recommend these two highly enough. They are just awesome.

What a gift to have Shirley watch your dogs or walk them when you can't! I have known Shirley for…read more15 years and she is so caring, dedicated, trustworthy and fun! She is an awesome pack leader! As my trainer, no one could inspire me to do 150 Burpees like shirley can! She brings that same love and leadership to watching dogs. She has fun with them and gives them the leadership and exercise they need to keep them happy. My two Bearded Collies are on the picture on the left. Just look at those "smiles" with Shirley! I never even have to give a thought to how my dogs are doing when Shirley has them....happy!!!

Shirley walked and took care of our two dogs for this past summer while we were vacationing in…read moreNewport. She was thoughtful, loving and caring with our dogs. She went out of her way to work around our summer plans to make things work for walking and caring for our dogs. She even hand fed one of our dogs who was ill. She has a positive attitude and was such a pleasure to work with. I will be using her everything I am in the area!

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.

I can't believe it's taken me this long to recognize and leave a review for Jessie and her team at…read moreWalk'n Wag'n. They have been such a blessing and I am so extremely grateful for such an amazing team to love and care for my baby. I've used them for both dog walking and in home sitting services. Leaving my baby in dog form is never easy, but they made the entire experience completely stress-free. Jessie, Janice, Jennifer (Kenobi's J-girls) genuine love for dogs shines through in every experience we've had with them. They kept me updated with thoughtful communication, photos, and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. Knowing my baby was not only safe but truly loved and cared for meant the world to me. They are dependable, trustworthy, and treat our babies like family. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog walking or pet sitting services in OC. Thank you Jessie and team for caring for my Kenobi as if he were your own!

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

I found Sylvia when I was looking for a more experienced pet sitter to help with my cat with…read morechronic kidney disease and FLUTD. 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.

Holly's Happy Trails is the very best pet sitter around. We met with Holly at our home and knew…read moreright away she was the perfect person for our doggies. We chose to have Holly come by a couple times a day and look in on our doggies. Holly bonds with you 4 legged kids and treats them like her own. I would trust Holly with my doggies any time. Holly took great care of my doggies while we were on vacation. While on vacation Holly took care of everything with my doggies. We received update pictures every day and sometimes a few pictures a day. We even got a couple videos to look at. Very nice!! She made sure all was clean and well taken care of during her visits. Our doggies were so happy when we got home and they were clean and so was my home even when we have a boy that is a messy eater. Holly's pricing is good for the services she provides your 4 legged kids. Being sure your 4 legged kids are well taken care of is a big relief. Holly will provide that peace of mind you're looking for!! That is a very big deal to us and I am sure you to when it comes to your pets. I would recommend Holly to anyone that wants their 4 legged kids well taken care of in your home. Holly is the very best!!! I wish I could give her 10 stars, she was that good!!!!!
