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!

My husband is out of town 4 days a week and I am gone 11 hours each day for work, so having someone pop over to play with him is very necessary. The Yelp reviews led us to Summer and after our meet & greet, I was really excited about the arrangement! She asked a lot of questions about his history, his training, allergies, etc, and took notes. I immediately felt that he would be in good hands. Zippy was neglected/abused in his previous life and has some fear aggression with strangers, but Summer quickly earned his trust and he is as excited to see her now as he is to see us! The pictures and videos she texts each time she is with him make my day! It means a lot to know that your dog is with someone who loves him as much as you do, and that someone is Summer. Highly recommended!

We had no idea who could watch him on such short notice and contemplated cancelling our vacation. As a last stitch effort, I reached out to my Nextdoor network and several names came up, including hers. Since our dog was a pup and new to our home, I wanted someone with him 24/7 versus dropping in. Kim responded immediately, I met her in person, and called 3 of her references. She is as sweet as could be. We really took a chance letting a complete stranger stay in our home thinking- she could either rob us blind, or turn out great . Kim was amazing!!! She bonded with our puppy, taught him some tricks and literally just loved on him all day while also taking him outside like 10 times a day bc he wasn't potty trained. She sent us pictures daily and would also FaceTime with us. For DAYS after she left, our puppy would go to our guest room and look for her. She is a wonderful and a kind human being who has a genuine love for animals. Hiring Kim for live-in stay while you are on vacation is a no-brainer and something we can now comfortably do knowing our baby is in good hands.

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.

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!

In my heart I know they are safer with her than anyone else. Even when we use a multiple day, 24 hour sitter, we still have Sara come in for the serious stuff, meds, walks, wellness checks. Sara is completely professional and patient with my never ending questions, and litany of instructions for the fur babies while we are away. If you are looking for a professional, responsible pet sitter who really takes the job seriously and cares for your pets, we strongly recommend Care For Curs (Sara). We have never been disappointed.
