Caroline was an exceptional pet caretaker. She kept us updated with pictures and constant communication. The dogs were showered with love and attention. I couldn t have asked for a better experience. I ll definitely book with Caroline again.

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.
