I highly recommend Ugly Dog Adventures in Orange, California. Jenn, the owner, is incredibly…read moreknowledgeable and clearly passionate about what she does which carries over to all her team. I enrolled my two, two-year-old rescue dogs in their comprehensive boarding/training program and on-going daily pack walks. The results have been fantastic. Not only were their command-response established , their unruly habits were corrected and their overall behavior became much more balanced and manageable. If you're looking for someone who truly understands dogs and can make a real difference, Jenn at Ugly Dog Adventures is the one to trust.

Leaving our dogs Jax and Frank for a whole week was something we were honestly nervous about…read morebecause they've never stayed with anyone outside of our family before. From the moment we dropped them off, the entire experience put us completely at ease. We received constant updates, photos, and messages from Wendy and Madison, letting us know how they were doing, which meant so much to us and made being away from them so much easier. It was clear they were genuinely cared for, loved, and treated like family the entire time they were there. Seeing Jax and Frank happy, comfortable, and well taken care of gave us so much peace of mind. You can truly tell OC Paw House cares deeply about the animals they watch. We are beyond grateful for the care they gave our boys and will absolutely be using them again in the future. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive place for their dogs!

I've known the person in charge of this company for years and she has always loved animals, not…read moreonly her own, but others fur babies as well. She is a class act, a great person, and very understand of animals and their behaviors. She knows what she is doing and is very communicative. If you're looking for someone to be a companion with your dog and go on fantastic pack walks, look no further! This place is golden. I would only trust 3 places with my babies... OC Lucky Dogs, SoCal Dog Training (Vladae), and Banfield Buena Park (where I am personally lucky enough to donate my time and work / be with animals) ... 10/10 service 10/10 communication 10/10 safety 10/10 fun for the dogs I love finding good people!

Let me just say this: I trust OC Lucky dogs with my golden baby more than I trust most people with…read moremy coffee order. My dog, (a 70-lb goofball with zero spatial awareness and the emotional range of a toddler), is my baby. I don't leave him with just anyone. But the team at OCLD? Total pros. From the first meet-and-greet, they were calm, confident, and totally in tune with his energy before bringing him around any other dogs. They took the time to understand his quirks, his terrible leash habits, and even which dogs he vibes with on the trail before taking him out. What really blew me away is how seriously they take safety. Leash checks, paw inspections, water breaks -- it's like he's walking with a trained bodyguard. They even texted me once to let me know he had a little paw irritation and shortened the walk so he wouldn't overdo it. WHO DOES THAT? Legends, that's who. When Leanna does pickup/drop off she comes in and has a full conversation with my cat and makes sure she gets belly scratches. Plus, they send adorable pics, which is obviously the only thing getting me through my 2 p.m. work slump, and often end up as my phone background. On Bensons birthday, he was wearing a crown in all the photos with his friends- could you ask for anything cuter?!! Bottom line: they love animals, they know animals, and they treat yours like their own. Benson gives them 100/10 pup cups, and every dog should be an OC Lucky Dog!

From the very first phone consultation, my wife and I already knew that we wanted to work with…read moreCathy. Truthfully, after meeting her for a tour of the place, that only further solidified our trust in her. Just from her vibes alone, you can tell that she cares so much about your furbaby and their needs. Unlike other boarding services, Cathy greatly prioritizes the comfort and well-being of all the animals that she takes on. My wife and I were going to be traveling out of state for 2 weeks and needed boarding for both our dog and cat. Normally, Cathy specializes with boarding dogs, but she was gracious enough to offer us a room in her home to board our cat. She absolutely did not have to do that, but we are eternally grateful that she did. Our cat basically raised his little dog sister, so they have a very close bond. Cathy even made the arrangements so that they could intermittently spend time together throughout the day and sleep together at night. My wife is especially anxious when it comes to having other people watch our babies, but Cathy alleviated all those concerns. She was extremely communicative and would regularly send photos and updates. Frankly, if there is anyone you should trust with your furbabies, it's Cathy. There aren't enough kind words to describe how amazing she is. Without a doubt, we will be clients for life and recommending her to everyone we know. Thank you again for everything Cathy!!

She has a beautiful yard, with plenty of room for them to run around, smell, and be in the sun. When I went for a meet and greet, they didn't want to go home!

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!

From last-minute emergency trips to canceled vacations, they've always handled everything with such grace and flexibility. Jennifer and Gaby have become like extended family to us and our cats. They were there for us when our older cats needed extra attention and medical care, and now they're caring for a new generation of energetic kittens who are quickly growing into big, mischievous boys. No matter the situation, they show up with genuine love and compassion. The communication is always clear, timely, and reassuring--we always know how our pets are doing, and it's obvious from the photos and updates that they're not only safe, but truly happy and well cared for. There's nothing quite like the comfort of knowing your beloved pets are in such kind and capable hands. We are so grateful to Jennifer, Gaby, and the entire team for the years of support, care, and love they've given our furry family. Highly, wholeheartedly recommended.
