Found Doug and Dena through an online deal and they were great. Sent daily updates when we were out of town.  Our pups seemed happy and well taken care of. Will definitely use them again when we ho out of town.

I recently went out of town for a few days and left my Corgi in the hands of Doug. He was well taken care of when I was gone and seemed very happy when I came home. Doug is very professional and I felt good about leaving my furry baby with him. He even sent me a pic of my happy doggie after a nice long walk. Their prices are very reasonable and they seem very organized. I’ve already planned to use Extraordinary Pets for my next out of town visit, and would highly recommend their services to my friends.

I work in Orange County and am away from my house all day long.  Extraordinary pets has been walking my dog on the weekdays and it has made my life so much easier!! Dena walks Snickers with other dogs that are similar size which is great because he is by himself all day and loves other dogs. I love that they post pics of Snickers on their website and twitter about the dogs they are walking and things they are doing.  They also send out great information for pet owners through newsletters. Extraordinary Pets really goes above and beyond the basic dog walking, I highly recommend them

Doug has been walking my Guinness for over a month now. Guinness LOVES Doug and I am just so glad to have found Extraordinary Pets! He continues to send me daily update, sometimes pictures (you dont understand how much it means to a working doggy mom) to ensure me that my little furry smelly butts (ah that is Guinness :D ) is doing fine. He also makes himself available last mins if needed help during weekday. He also makes sure Guinness socialize with new friends (furry and human) so that he can grow up healthy mentally. I really am very happy with them, and recommend them to ANYONE!!

(selfishly, hopefully they wont get too busy haha!)

he even lets our owner know how we are doing by texting her when he comes to visit.

I use Extraordinary Pet Sitting twice a day because I am often gone for an extended time on days that I work.  There are so many things to consider when you trust your pet to someone and they go the extra mile to take care of my dog, always!

I looked around and I am so fortunate to have selected them to come to my home and take my dog out for her walks, I am truly thankful for their reliability, honesty, and their love of animals.  They are so sincere and genuine it shows in all the things they do.

My dog is a rescue and they have taken so much extra time to care for her so that she has the attention and socialization with other dogs that she really needs.   It is so nice to see her developing to trust other dogs and people too.

I can’t imagine trusting my dog to anyone else.  They truly deserve the 5 stars.  I have been a customer every week for almost 10 months so they have really been there for us on many occasions.  I am really happy with their service and would highly recommend them to anyone who loves their pets and is looking for the best in care when you can’t be there.

Doug and Dena are amazing. I have been using Doug all year for dog-walking and the occasional pet sitting when we’ve gone out of town and he’s been great with our puppy. They’re professional, trustworthy, extremely reliable, and flexible if we make last-minute plans. An added bonus: they give us a report every day on how she did during their visit. Plus, she loves them so they must be doing something right!

Dena is walking our westie while we are away on vacation. I feel so relieved to have such a professional looking after him. We can relax and enjoy being away, knowing he is in great hands!

My dog is always taken care of and always happy when we get home each day, I trust them very much and know they take special care to make sure he interacts with other dogs and gets plenty of exercise at lunch. They even do last minute visits if you can’t make it home on time so we really appreciate that type of service that you can always count on.

Dena, took the time to come and interview my pet and I, I could tell my little furry friend was going to be happy to have her as his pet walker. She went above and beyond, taking my guy for a little bit of extra time because he is high energy, making me comfortable when at work for long hours, knowing he is safe and well cared for. Weekly she sends me a confirmation on the dates he is scheduled for so I know my little boy will get his walks and wont be forgotten. When I come home, my dog is tired and seems very happy and content with life :) Dena also sends text messages after the walk and leaves a note, which is nice to come home to. Also, you can go on the website and see what your little critter did for the day!! Superb service and highly recommended…

Don’t know what we would do without Dena, we appreciate their excellent care and never worry when Addison is with them. Addison loves Dena and Doug, she actually sits on the porch waiting for them!

They are the nicest people and the world, and treat pets as people not just some animal they have to look after. Every animal that they take into their hands is in the best care possibly available, and loved, no matter how short of time it is with them.

They’re the best! Trustworthy, caring and hardworking.

Doug came to meet my cats on Thursday night then came to my house on Saturday and Sunday to feed them, clean their litter boxes, and give them attention. He also brought in the newspapers and the mail and checked to be sure that everything was all right. The cats warmed up to him immmediately, even the shy one. He text-messaged me both days I was out of town to let me know that they were happy and healthy.

Dena stayed at our home while we were gone and took care of our dog. She walked him three times a day, feed him and gave him all his medications. She also brought in the mail. She kept in regular touch with me to let me know how he was doing.

Dena did an excellent job. Since the first time I used her to watch our dog and home I have since used her for several other overnight stays. In addition, I use her weekly to walk our dog when I am gone for extended periods of time during the day. She is reliable and when I need her on short notice is most accommodating
