I've been jumping around quite a bit with the people I pay to watch and walk my dogs on work days,…read moreand that's because I can't really seem to find anyone trust worthy enough. I've had some lie about the service they provide and not actually properly walk and care for my dogs, and others that aren't reliable in terms of schedule leaving me stranded with a job to attend and dogs to watch over all at the same time. Alexa was referred to me by a family member that uses her service and on a day that my usual dog caregiver couldn't make it because of another "family emergency", I decided to give her a call and try her out. To be honest I wasn't expecting much, I've been so disappointed with these services that I was made to think that they all just suck! But that feeling soon came to a definite change! Met with Alexa at my house in Newport (punctual: YES), I found her to be really sweet and genuine. Her energy levels were really high too and she reminded me of a track athlete with her fitness and physic. Her pricing is fair, around exactly what I've been paying so that was an easy transition, but what really stood out to me and really made me change my point of view of these services is the fact that Alexa provided me with LIVE UPDATES and the ROUTE taken along with VIDEOS and PICTURES!! Whattttt!!! Unreal bonus !! I was sold right away! Later on, came home and found everything to have been done perfectly with my dogs. Walked, fed and cared for. In conclusion, my experience was perfect. I'm so relieved to have found Alexa. Being honest, genuine and loving to my dogs goes along way with a customer like myself. Great work Alexa and keep it up! See ya soon!

Alexa and Anna are wonderful, and we trust them implicitly with our little Moose. Moose loves his…read morewalks, and I feel so much better about leaving him knowing he will get a great walk and hang with other pups and girls who love him. They send so many photos and videos and a map of their route every time they walk him. Alexa is very responsive and flexible. We've had instances where we needed walks last minute and Alexa always helped us to make it happen. I feel very comfortable with them and highly recommend.

Wonderful, caring service is all we have ever received from Aloura's Out walking dogs/cat services…read more She loves getting kisses from my two cats, Carmel & Roxy! You get very detailed texts/reports and fun photos/videos on her daily visits. I have used Out Walking dogs/cats several times for my two cats here in San Clemente and each time my trips out of state have been extended on short notice and she is always there to continue to help out in a pinch and they are very flexible. Most importantly, my cats look so at ease and joyful at the attention Aloura provides. If you are looking for the best pet service in the area, look no further. We trust Aloura and her staff unconditionally with my cats and highly recommend her! Thank you Aloura

Out Walking Dogs, Aloura, the owner is the dog whisperer! She's is so loving and the dogs or cats…read morecan feel that immediately. I have 2 small rescue dogs, one had been neglected and possibly abused. This precious little dog loves Aloura! Aloura runs her service like a business, very professional and very organized. Her home and yard is not only clean and neat but a playground for the dogs. She will pick the dogs up from your home, text you photos and updates daily and they will be home waiting for you when you get back home. I had a weeks vacation and this was the first time I have ever used a dog sitter, since it worked out so well I just returned from a 3 week vacation. I was never worried about their care however I did really miss my sweet baby dogs. Thank you Aloura for all your love and kindness, Nancy Bever

Shirley is THE BEST!!! I can't recommend her enough! I've had my dog, Daisy, for 9 years, and…read morehave had several different dog walkers/boarders through the years, and I can say with absolute certainty that Shirley provides the best service I've ever seen. You can tell that she takes her job very seriously, and she has a passion for dogs. She truly goes above and beyond to provide excellent service to me and my dog. And Daisy LOVES her! She gets so excited to see Shirley because she not only cares about her, she takes her on the best hikes, long walks, and plays with her. Daisy always returns to me very happy, and very exhausted. Shirley is also very professional. She always returns my texts/calls very quickly, and always asks what more can she do to provide Daisy with the best possible care. One time when I was out of town, I forgot to leave a key for Shirley. She didn't give up- I called my apartment complex, and she figured out a way to make sure she could get to Daisy to take care of her. I was blown away by how dedicated she was to making sure that my dog was well taken care of. If you're looking for an excellent dog walker and dog boarder, I highly recommend Shirley. You will not be disappointed!

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!!!

Working with Mary and Myrlene at OC Pup Pals has been an absolute pleasure! We've been using their…read morehome check-in and dog walking services for over a month now, and we couldn't be happier. They send photos and detailed updates after every visit, which we really appreciate. A few months ago, we rescued a puppy who was quite nervous around new people and other dogs. Mary and Myrlene have patiently worked with him during walks, and we've seen a remarkable improvement--he's now much more confident and relaxed. What stands out most is how genuinely they care for our dogs, treating them as if they were their own. That's very important to us. Our dogs get so excited when they arrive! We highly recommend OC Pup Pals!

I have a 7yr old, 3lb yorkie named Popeye. He is my whole world! Needless to say, I'm very…read moreparticular in regard to who I leave Popeye with. In the past 7 yrs the only people I have ever left Popeye with is my dad, or Madison. He is small/fragile (he unfortunately has many health problems) and the last thing I want is to be worried about wether he is being cared for properly or not. When I leave Popeye with Madison I know he is in loving hands. Madison is very attentive, compassionate and truly loves your dog as much as she loves her own. She texts updates and pictures of your dog so you can see how happy they are with her. I feel for the amount of personal care she provides she is very well priced. I have friends who "board" their dogs and pay the same, or more, which is absurd in my opinion. I would never board my baby! When Popeye is in Madison's care I know he is happy and constantly being loved on. What more could you ask for?

If anyone knows Madison, I know Madison…read more My name is Lulu ChooChoo. She is always on time for me. She is always kind to me and has a sweet, loving disposition and treats me very well. She smells very good. We go on walks to the park and rides in her car. I am older now and when I don't feel like walking, she doesn't make me! She's of a wonderful person, and I highly recommend her. She never makes me put my tongue back in my mouth either!

We love The Pet Care Crew!…read more Our pup (Ludo) and our kitty (Lorenzo) were tenderly watched by this great group of people for almost two years. This has included everything from tips on dog care (we were new pet parents with a destructive pup who didn't want to walk on a leash), to doggy overnights, cat sitting (including insulin shots for our diabetic kitty), to setting up playdates with our dog's fave friends. The Pet Care Crew is great for everything you are looking for when looking for someone to take care of your furfamily. They are responsible, knowledgeable, punctual, and professional. This includes setting up your dog with a small group of dogs that they get along with and taking them out for good quality time. Aimee took our pup to the beach, parks, basically to all the cool hidden gems you would want your pup to see anyway. She made sure he was socialized and she kept us up to date with regular photos and check-ins. I always felt confident that he was ok when we were off at work, on vacation, or just needed to be out late one night. Love. That's what the Pet Care Crew and Aimee offer that no other dogwalking/pet sitting/trainer/etc offers. She genuinely loved our furbabies. She spoiled them by taking them to the dog treat bar. I knew my dog was happy because whenever she came to the door he would get up and run to her with his tail wagging like a propeller. I knew my cat loved her because he would stay out on the couch instead of hiding in the closet like he did with most any other visitor. They loved her and she loved them back. Basically she is amazing. I wouldn't trust my lil ones to anyone else. Pet Care Crew has become our family.
