Management, OC Pet Companions

Ruth Ann Krisa, Owner of OC Pet Companions

Animals need us and we need animals to have a complete and fulfilling life. I have had pets in and out of my whole life and they all have had an impact on the quality of my life.

As an owner of several "Special Need" pets it was always tough to find someone to sleep with my pets while I was on vacation. So what better way to spend my time than to start a Pet Companion business! I decided it was time to give back to other pets the love and companionship they all crave when their family is gone. Every pet I encounter leaves a little paw print on my heart and I will carry that with me the rest of my life and I hope the pets I care for feel the same.

I’ve have always loved animals and had pet’s all my life. When I was growing up, I would bring home stray cats and dogs and tell my mom they followed me. I raised two Siamese cats that lived to be 21 and 25 years old.

I’ve also had cats that were diabetic, and elderly cats with special needs. I know how to administer medication and give shots. Before I started to work for OC Pet Companions I had my own pet sitting business and took care of the neighborhood dogs, cats, turtles and fish.

Last year my husband and I adopted a 10-year-old cat named Huxley from the shelter. Huxley was not adoptable and ready for euthanization since he was a senior cat with health problems. We took care of his health problems and he has given our lives such happiness and fulfillment.

Pet sitting is a rewarding experience that I cherish and look forward to each and every day. Animals provide us with unconditional love. Whenever I walk into a client’s home and there pets start wagging their tail and licking my face because they are happy to see me, it makes my day. Animals are truly our best friends.
