Linda and Michael, two seasoned professionals with years of management experience, made a bold decision to leave the corporate world behind in 2000. Their shared passion for pets led them to embark on an entrepreneurial journey, driven by a desire to create a business that would cater to the unique needs of furry companions.
Having endured frustrating experiences with boarding facilities, they recognized a glaring gap in the market and set out to provide a solution. Their vision was to establish an in-home pet care service that would allow animals to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own environments, ensuring their well-being and security.
With an unwavering commitment to excellence, Linda and Michael founded While You R Away in 2000, initially serving the Southern Orange County, Ladera Ranch, and surrounding areas. Over the years, their business has grown to become a trusted name in the pet care industry, renowned for its expertise and personalized approach.
At the heart of While You R Away's success lies a deep understanding of the unique needs of each furry client. Linda and Michael have dedicated themselves to building long-lasting relationships with their clients, ensuring that every pet receives the utmost care and attention.
The family's passion for animals extends beyond the business, as their daughter, Lindsey Valentine, has been an animal enthusiast from a young age. With a diverse background that includes veterinary technician work and her own dog training business, K9 Revamped, Lindsey specializes in obedience and behavior modification. Her extensive experience with a wide range of pets, from horses to dogs, cats, hamsters, a blue and gold macaw, as well as a bunny and chinchilla, has equipped her with a comprehensive understanding of animal behavior.
Lindsey's involvement in While You R Away has further strengthened the company's commitment to providing exceptional service. Through her networking efforts and collaboration with other professionals in the pet industry, she has created an invaluable network of resources, enabling the business to offer insights, information, and referrals to trusted 5-star service providers.
With a shared dedication to excellence and a deep-rooted love for animals, Linda, Michael, and Lindsey continue to shape While You R Away into a premier pet care provider, ensuring that every furry friend receives the utmost care and attention they deserve.
