Brenda did a fantastic job! She knows exactly what our dog needs. I very much appreciated the frequent photos and videos. Seeing our dog so happy at Brenda s house made our vacation better knowing she was well taken care of.

Xin took great care of our dogs! She was very communicative throughout their stay and even kept us updated with photos & videos. We were a little nervous about boarding them at first but overall had a great experience with Xin and will definitely use again in the future if needed! Thank you Xin for treating our 3 frenchies with such love and care!

Home for the Holidays
Shelters and rescue groups across America run Home for the Holidays in the lead-up to Christmas each year. However, Irvine’s Home for the Holidays Pet Adoption Fair, hosted by the city’s Animal Care Center, has become a much-anticipated annual event. While the focus of the event is on helping cute canines find fur-ever homes, there’s also plenty of fun games and activities that dog owners can enjoy with their pooches. There are gourmet food trucks, pet-related vendors selling a huge range of products, a silent auction, discounted microchipping and more. A donation of $2 per person or $5 per family is suggested to get you into this furry holiday event.
