The While You R Away Story

While You R Away® was founded in 2000 by Michael Klein & Linda Valentine of Ladera Ranch, CA who left the corporate world in pursuit of their dream - to create and market the most professional, caring, & successful in-home pet sitting services company in the United States.  In early 2005, While You R Away® was registered and trademarked with the US Patent Office.

In late 2005, Michael & Linda teamed up with Ladera Ranch neighbor (and pet sitting client), Steve Blazier.  Their goal was to expand their services throughout Orange County, CA and eventually nationwide.  Shortly thereafter, Steve decided he would launch While You R Away® - Irvine as an Owner/Operator. So, on March 6th, 2006, the second location was born. Combined, the two locations, serve more than 500 clients and over 1,100 pets.
