Mark J. Asher adopted his dog, Payton, from Pet Orphans of Southern California, and happens to be the author of three incredible pet photography books. His first, Old Friends, features portraits of senior dogs along with their longevity secrets. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) had this to say about the book: "These animals jump from the pages, warm the heart, and inspire the soul." His follow-up, Barking Up the Family Tree, was featured in People Magazine's Holiday Gift Guide. In his new book, Bark & Ride, Mark explores a world where dogs can drive!

This is an incredibly well run business for Vacation Pet Care or Daily Pet Care and Walking services for people who go out to work. "We love ‘em when you have to leave ‘em," says owner Michael Landa.

The Pet Staff recruits only employees who passionately love animals and who can meet stringent hiring standards. They must also know pet First Aid and CPR and administration of medications. Of course they are bonded to protect you against breakage or loss. And… unlike a private pet sitter, if something unforeseen occurs to prevent the sitter from coming to your home, there are others, equally qualified, ready to take over the schedule. So… give them a call and say the referral came from Pet Orphans. It’s a win-win-win deal!
