Screencap from 2015 of one of Michaels texts.

Update 2022: Never saw his update so here is mine since he forgot about us. Didn't want to have to bring receipts but here is a screen cap from many years ago. This was one of the "nicer" texts to us, a seemingly nice apology. The others he sent he was very insulting to us (and it would be very embarrassing to him if shared which I will be nice and not share) once we started to question him more and start having our Guardgate call us when he actually came in/left VS when he told us he visited; which he said he didn't like us treating him like a child but if you sleep in on a job and several other times are documented coming in late and leaving quick then yes we will have to call you to check in because we are worried for our sick old dog and this was not under our agreement else we wouldn't have picked him for our care service. Unfortunately his judgement calls were bad as well, who would prioritize a dog just having an accident in a house VS a dog who is dependent on insulin or any medication? Definitely do not recommend this pet service for any dog that requires medical attention or you want someone to actually treat you respectfully when they were the ones who failed their job. Clearly from peoples' other later reviews that has not changed for him. Thankfully we had that Guardgate system that keeps track of when people enter and leave so we could see his tardiness and quick visits so we could receive help from my friend on the side. I feel bad for any person who trusted him for the at home service and didn't have someone to actually check his times and get extra help to watch their dogs. Hopefully he has worked on his business and doesn't treat dogs like a cash grab and is more responsible and respectful. I can't say though because we made sure to never use him again and warn all of our friends.

See all

After moving to Orange, I needed a cat sitter right away and had Christina recommended to me on…read moreNextDoor by multiple people. I am so grateful I found her! She recommended our vet to me as well, and I have been so happy with the vet she suggested! She actually gave multiple recommendations so i have back ups if needed. She's cared for my 3 cats multiple times and I can tell my kitties love her, which is the most important thing! She always sends me pics and keeps me updated while I'm away. She cared for my senior cat when she was sick and in her final week and gave me detailed updates so I knew when to cut my trip short to some home to her, cared for my new kitten, cleaned up broken glass and a lot of kitty barf, cleaned up when ants where going after the cat food, and showed my kitties lots of love! I always come home to empty trash cans, clean litter boxes and happy kitties. She even gave me a housewarming gift and gifted my kitties Christmas treats and toys! Christina is wonderful and I trust her 110% with my kitties and my home. I appreciate her so much because as much as I miss my kitties when away, I have peace of mind knowing she's there to keep them happy and safe! When my kitties broke a vase and she came in to broken glass everywhere, she let me know right away and made sure my cats were OK and had no cuts first, then did a wonderful job cleaning up (I didn't find any glass when I got home!) And she's just a nice person too - whenever I'm on the phone with her, we always end up chatting about her kitties too, so I know she's truly a "cat person" (which not all my pet sitters have been.) Cannot recommend her enough! Be sure to schedule as early as possible, she's so great the holidays and peak vacation times always book up quickly!

Christina has been a fabulous pet sitter for us the past 5 years. It's hard to trust anyone with…read moreyour babies, but she makes it so much easier. Professional and detailed, she makes sure all the necessities are in order before she needs to come, and then makes sure all your concerns are managed while she is there. Reassuring photos and messages are just icing on the cake, but the truth is in the happy healthy pets you have when you come home. We have 2 cats and 1 kitten and just came back from a 12 day trip. Cats had just been through some major health issues, and I was Sooo glad she was there daily keeping an eye on them, and knew exactly who my vet was and was even familiar with the local vet ER. She's responsible reliable and caring. Just ask our Cats!

They got us the flight we needed and helped us through all the steps, told us what we needed to do and when all the way till the end! Having an English Bulldog it was terrifying to try and get her to Hawaii cause that's a long flight and flat faced dogs are difficult to crate but they comforted us and said that she would be safe and they didn't disappoint she arrived safely and we couldn't be more grateful! If you're reading this and end up using them for your animal get ready for exceptional service from people who take the time to know you, your pet and your needs!

All major airlines refused to ship my Staffordshire Bull Terrier because of his breed. Even though…read morehe's the sweetest dog--more likely to run from butterflies and chickens than hurt anyone, and amazing with kids, he was still considered as an "aggressive breed." and not suited for any civilian travel in cabin or during under due to him also being considered short nose. We were PCSing from Hawaii, and even MilFlights wouldn't take him last minute due to breed. In a panic and google search, I found Jeff with Furry Freight who contacted me back immediately after my request for information. He was able to accommodate us extremely last minute--literally a day before our flight after multiple failed attempts with the other major airlines. From start to finish, he came up with multiple courses of action to make sure our dog got as close as possible to our destination within the timeline we needed. The handler who picked up our dog from our home was fantastic. He was calm, great with our pup, double-checked all of our paperwork, and made sure we were confident before sending him off. Both the handler and the company kept us updated with pictures before the trip, during progress checks, and even after he was loaded. They also followed up to make sure he was picked up at the final destination. Communication was absolutely top notch. Even with the Hawaii-mainland time difference (and my stress of forgetting it sometimes), Jeff answered every call and text within minutes. Military PCS moves are stressful enough--adding pets in Hawaii with breed restrictions and weather limitations makes it even harder. Furry Freight truly took a huge weight off my shoulders, and I'm extremely grateful for the care and service they provided. I would 100% recommend them to anyone needing reliable, compassionate pet transport.

OC Paw House - Celebrating Rocky's birthday

OC Paw House

(114 reviews)

It pains me deeply to write this review, but I believe our experience needs to be shared with other…read moredog owners who may be considering leaving their pets with a dog daycare or boarding provider. It has been exactly one month since we lost our beloved French Bulldog, Louie, to heat stroke after leaving him with OC Paw House in Tustin, California. We dropped Louie off at approximately 9:05 a.m. for what was supposed to be a four-hour half-day visit. The purpose was simply to see how well he interacted with the other dogs before we considered boarding him there for a week later in September. I believed I had done my due diligence as a responsible pet owner. The business had more than 100 five-star reviews, and I could not find even a single review below five stars. They also had many photos of french bulldogs on their social media. That gave me a great deal of confidence in leaving Louie in their care. Unfortunately, what happened that morning is something our family will live with forever. At 11:33 a.m., I received a photo and text showing Louie with several other dogs. In the photo, what appeared to be Louie's vomit was clearly visible near his front paws. When I later examined the photo more carefully, I noticed that it had been taken at approximately 10:18 a.m. That timeline is extremely important. Wendy, the owner, later told me that Louie was having difficulty with the heat while at an unshaded dog park on an approximately 81-degree day. She said that after about 5-10 minutes, they decided to take him back to the house. The house is approximately an eight-minute drive from the dog park. Yet I did not receive a phone call telling me that Louie was in serious distress until approximately 11:45 a.m. I was then told that he was not breathing. That leaves me with a question I still cannot get past: What happened between approximately 10:18 a.m., when Louie was apparently already showing signs of distress, and the time I was finally contacted? As Louie's owner, it is devastating to think that he may have been struggling for an extended period of time without receiving the urgent intervention he needed. In my opinion, what happened demonstrates a serious lack of training, judgment, and emergency preparedness. This is especially troubling because Wendy told me that she owns or has owned a French Bulldog and understands that Frenchies do not tolerate heat well. Brachycephalic breeds such as French Bulldogs are widely known to be particularly vulnerable to overheating. Afterward, I obtained a report from OC Animal Care. Based on my reading of that report, I learned information about the business and its licensing status that I did not know when I entrusted Louie to their care. The report also contains statements regarding overnight boarding and the individuals who provide dog-walking services that, in my view, do not match my understanding of how the business was represented or operated. I encourage anyone considering this business--or any dog daycare or boarding provider--to verify its licensing, insurance, training, emergency procedures, supervision practices, and experience caring for your specific breed. Do not rely solely on online reviews. I wish I had known to ask more questions. Louie was not just our dog. He was part of our family, and losing him this way has been heartbreaking. I am writing this review because I cannot change what happened to Louie, but perhaps sharing our experience will cause another dog owner to ask the questions I wish I had asked--and potentially prevent another family from experiencing the loss that ours has endured.

August 11th The Day We Lost Louie…read more Our six-year-old French Bulldog, Louie, died from heatstroke just two and a half hours into what we were told would be a four-hour trial day at this daycare. We were told the purpose of the trial was simply to see whether Louie could get along with other dogs. We were never told that he would be taken to a dog park or participate in strenuous outdoor activity. We chose this daycare because the owner told us she owns a French Bulldog herself, and because the daycare had very good reviews. We trusted that our French Bulldog would be understood and properly cared for. What happened that day is something we will never forget. 9:00 AM -- We dropped Louie off for his four-hour trial. 9:30 AM -- Just 30 minutes later, Louie was taken to a dog park for outdoor activity without our knowledge. We had never been told that he would be taken off the daycare premises or to a dog park. The temperature that day ranged from approximately 77°F to 85°F. 10:18 AM -- According to the daycare, Louie vomited after the activity. We were not informed when it happened. 11:30 AM -- More than an hour after he vomited, we received a photo of his vomit. At the same time, we were communicating about payment and completing a reservation for his future stay. We were given no indication that Louie was experiencing a potentially life-threatening emergency. 11:45 AM -- We received a phone call telling us that Louie was not breathing. 12:00 PM -- Louie was pronounced dead from heatstroke. Our dog went into the daycare alive and healthy at 9:00 AM. By noon, he was dead. What is especially devastating is what we learned afterward. We were told that they had never seen Louie breathing so heavily before. We were also told that they had tried giving him water, but he was vomiting. For a French Bulldog, excessive panting, vomiting, and difficulty breathing in hot conditions can be serious warning signs of overheating and heatstroke. French Bulldogs are particularly vulnerable to heat because of their shortened airways and difficulty cooling themselves efficiently through panting. Yet during the critical period when Louie was apparently struggling, we received no immediate warning and no update about his condition. The owner was also not present at the daycare at the time. We later learned that she had a doctor's appointment, which contributed to a delay in communication. While the adults were dealing with schedules, appointments, and communication, Louie was suffering--and we knew nothing. This was supposed to be a simple four-hour trial to see whether Louie could socialize with other dogs. We never agreed to have him taken to a dog park in temperatures reaching 85°F. We never imagined that he would be subjected to strenuous outdoor activity in hot weather. We are devastated that Louie was placed in this situation while in someone else's care. We trusted this daycare because we believed they understood French Bulldogs. That trust was shattered in the worst possible way. Louie was in their care. We trusted them to keep him safe. We expected him to come home. He never did. Louie was not just a dog. He was part of our family, and we will never get him back.
