With 61-5 star reviews we’d love to partner with you for complete peace of mind
Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.
Lifelong pet lover, longtime pet sitter!
Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
Spending life's adventure caring for your animal loved ones, big & small, w/ TLC
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Caring and loving pet-sitter.
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Fit and fun "young" retired couple offer peace of mind while you are away!
Everything was great even though they were here for some unfortunate circumstances (hurricane and extended power outage). Sent frequent updates and our cat seemed to like them.
Experienced housesitters looking to travel and make some furry friends!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
WFH researcher excited to provide quality care to your furry loved ones!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Experienced and zeewoi with excellent references!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Intrepid traveler and animal lover
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
Experienced sitter, 5-star reviews. Meticulous, quiet, non-smoker.
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
The Hound and Tabby Nanny is ready to take care of your fur babies.
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Retired professional gardeners available to care for your home, garden & pets.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
We've had many pet/house sitters over the last few years and Cat and Eugene will reside at the top of the list of favorites! From my first email with Cat I knew I liked her. She has all of the qualities of a good house and pet sitter: Reliable, a good listener, organized, flexible, caring, and honest. She and Eugene arrived exactly on time for our pre-sit visit, where they got to meet Maya and become familiarized with the house. It was a delight to visit with them and become comfortable knowing Maya would be in good hands. Our scheduled dates changed somewhat and they were extremely flexible and easy going about the changes. Upon our return home, we found the house pretty much in the exact condition we left it in. I can tell that great care was taken for Maya and for the house. Maya seemed to still be looking for them the next day, wandering around the house wondering where the other people who loved her went. I would recommend Cat and Eugene for anyone looking for reliable, kind, respectful, caring, tidy, and honest sitters. If I am lucky, I will get to have them back to sit for me again.

My partner and I recently used a cat-sitting service, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience! The entire process was seamless and accommodating, from booking to completion. We had Griz as our sitter, and she exceeded all expectations. Before our trip, Griz visited our home to meet our two kitties. Both are usually quite skittish around strangers, but they immediately warmed up to her—letting her pet them and even rubbing against her legs. This gave us so much confidence that they’d be in great hands, so we booked a 4-day service. One of our kitties needs 3 medications daily so Griz visited twice a day to feed, medicate, and play with them, and we were so happy to receive regular updates with pictures and notes about how our fur babies were doing. These updates were such a comfort and allowed us to truly enjoy our trip, knowing our kitties were well cared for. We highly recommend this service, and Griz especially, to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive sitter for their pets. Thank you for taking such good care of our little ones! Thanks again Griz!!
I've worked with the Comforted Kitty a couple of times now and they are stellar every time! I never worry about my cat, Lewis, who has some medical issues and needs pills every 12 hours. The company and the sitters are incredibly responsive especially on their custom app, which makes it easy to update info about my cat's issues and needs. They are easily the most trustworthy cat sitters I've used! I highly recommend their services.
Love the Comforted Kitty! Julia was amazing with Archie and Penelope….she even fed Penelope under the bed because my little scared kitty wouldn’t come out. Archie became a purr monster as soon as she came over. He loved her! Excellent, quality care. I never had to worry about them while I was away. Highly recommend!
I have 3 cats and needed someone experienced and trustworthy to watch them while I was away for 4 days. The Comforted Kitty was exactly what I was looking for. I love that they want detailed information about each of your cats and that you can meet your sitter prior to the sitting. My sitter was Julia and she was fantastic! I could tell she loved cats and also had lots of experience. While I was away she sent me detailed updates with photos and videos. I felt at ease knowing my cats were in good hands. I will definitely be using The Comforted Kitty again!
I have five young cats who are all new to me, so I was very nervous about leaving them for an international vacation. As soon as I discovered The Comforted Kitty, all of my fears were abated. The process of setting up an account took a fair amount of time, which demonstrated to me how seriously The Comforted Kitty takes their responsibilities. Prices are a bit higher than other cat-sitters in the area, but this company is worth every penny. Our caregiver Shauna was INCREDIBLE. She sent me updates with every visit that demonstrated both how well she was getting to know my cats and how much she cared for them. I could see their happiness and health in every photo. Not only will I use The Comforted Kitty for every future trip, I will plan the timing of vacations based on Shauna's availability. I simply couldn't be happier with my experience.
Jen K. did a wonderful job of looking after both my cats in April 2023. She addressed all their needs and took time to play with and entertain them. I especially appreciated her thoughtful and regular communication and all the many great photos she sent. The boys were very content when I got home. She really put my mind at ease while I was away and that means a lot. I found the Comforted Kitty pricing to be reasonable and their service excellent. I would happily recommend Jen and CK for your pet-sitting needs!
Shauna did a great job taking care of my cat. She was communicative, sent lots of pictures, and left the place clean and cared for.
Jen took wonderful care of my cat while I was away for a week. She did everything I asked and more. I was able to enjoy my time away and returned to a very contented kitty. Highly recommended.
I've been using TCK since I moved to LA and am so lucky to have found it! Jen is an excellent sitter who I trust implicitly to care for my 2 cats. She is extremely communicative, sends the funniest and most detailed updates, and the cutest photos. When one of my cats started off aloof toward Jen, she went out of her way to find ways to bond. I couldn't recommend Jen and TCK more!
I had never used a professional pet sitting service prior to this experience, but I was not disappointed. I hate leaving my pets, it makes me anxious and I always worry about them spending so much time without people around. Ericka did a great job making me feel comfortable prior to me leaving my two kittens for the first time for a week over Thanksgiving. Then while I was gone she did a great job following my directions and keeping the kitties happy, healthy, and engaged while I was gone. I got photos directly after each visit, plus I have cameras in my apartment so I could see in real time that she was doing exactly what I asked on each visit. Additionally, there were no hidden fees or surprises where the bill was concerned. I said exactly what I wanted, then got a written invoice that very clearly explained what services I would receive and for what price. While it is expensive, that was expected because of the upfront, clear pricing, which I greatly appreciated. Overall I was very happy with the experience and will not hesitate to use it again in the future.
Happy Heart Pet Care and TEAM!!!! Is there any other substitute? I don’t think so!!! When it comes to my Pixie girl, I have a very difficult time trusting. Happy Heart put all of my concerns to ease. They are always accommodating and able to watch my little girl, even at the last minute. I highly recommend giving them a try, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Anna Marie
I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful Anna Marie is with our pup, Lucy. She’s extremely knowledgeable about how to care for dogs, flexible with my timings, and just an overall pleasure to talk to. We recently picked Lucy up from a 16-day stay, and not once over that period was I worried about how she was doing. Anna Marie went above and beyond - she sent frequent photos and videos, brushed her out daily, worked on commands, and even took it into her own hands to figure out what food Lucy needed when she was being a picky eater. To tell you that I was such at ease knowing she was in Anna Marie’s care is an understatement. I am so grateful to have found her and Happy Heart Pet Care. Don’t think twice about booking your pet here!
I am an EXTREMELY over protective Dog Mom to my 5 yo French Bull Dog Brodie. I have been searching for a dog sitter and trainer for him as long as I can remember, but I’ve never been satisfied leaving my fur baby until I found Happy Heart Pet Care. I will say I love to spoil my boy and only the best will do, however, this also meant he got away with a lot more behavioral wise then he should. So I needed to find someone knowledgeable that I could trust with my boy… I haven’t been able to find someone reliable that not only had the experience to help train Brodie, but that I felt comfortable trusting to care for him. Anna Marie checks all the boxes. She not only has helped with Brodie’s training, but I trust her to care for him as if he was her own. She is truly our dog nanny! Brodie loves Anna Marie and he has become such a better behaved boy since he was introduced to her training and care. Having a person who not only will train your dog, but love them the way you would is priceless. He respects her and she has a great relationship with my boy teaching him with obedience training and socialization. All the dogs she cares for are very well behaved so he has her pack to learn from as well. She also is a great resource for a number of suggestions and advice with regard to your pets health and well being. She is always the first person I call or text to ask any questions with regard to his health or needs, which is invaluable. She is one of the most kind and understanding people I’ve met in LA and I have no doubt I would ever find someone who cares or loves Brodie more as a trainer or dog nanny than her. Needless to say I highly recommend Happy Heart Pet Care. Your life will be easier with your dog if you use her, trust me!
So grateful to have found Happy Heart Pet Care--they are the best! I have an adopted pound dog who is super skittish (and bark-y) with new people and for the past 4+ years, has not been comfortable with other dogs. She LOVES Anna-Marie and Matthew and, after just three visits, she is already changing in wonderful ways--less skittish with new people and excited to play with other dogs, which I never thought possible. Anna-Marie is incredibly kind and accommodating, thoughtful about introducing new dogs to their environment, and thoughtful of skittish human owners, sending them photos of their happy dogs. I contacted them because of the consistently amazing Yelp reviews (a rare thing), without realizing they're on the west side of LA. My dog and I are way on the east side, but still travel there because knowing my pup is safe and happy with people she loves and who genuinely care is worth everything.
Matthew and Anna Marie are both so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about dogs. Their love for our 9week old Darcy is so heartwarming! I certainly had my concern leaving a young puppy with other people for a week, but Matthew and Anna Marie stayed very communicative. They also helped me on getting to know/adjust for a puppy. I could see Darcy was so well cared for through photos/detailed text updates. Truly appreciate their existence 💙
Anna-Marie took care of my 1 year old shih tzu puppy, Tater Tot, for almost 3 weeks while we were away. She was wonderful as she was very flexible with drop off/pick up times, and gave Tater Tot lots of love but also trained him! Tater is much more calm and well behaved now! He was brushed everyday, made many new dog friends, and enjoyed his walks. Anna-Marie updated us with cute photos and videos of him and we can’t wait to have him back with her again!
Where do I start? So thankful for Matt and Anna Maria. Matt has been a life saver with behavior modification with my sweet girl Cocoa. Cocoa is a hyper-vigilant rescue pit, with a few social challenges. Matt not only was able to with patience and professionalism, earn her trust, and help with her behaviors, he was also able to teach me, ways to manage when she and I are in the wild. He is very hands on, and teaches key fundamentals when handling a dog, and working with the world around them. I literally on multiple occasions have been able to handle situations without panic and stress due to Matt’s training. Cocoa also has been managing her stress better as well. You are equipped with the knowledge literally after just one session, the most rewarding thing is seeing the transformation in Cocoa. She has come such a long way. Happy Heart Pet Care has been a blessing. I highly recommend. 10 out of 10!
I highly recommend this company not just as a dog trainer but for all your pet care needs. They do training, dog sitting, walking, and even cat sitting. They are highly experienced and had my aggressive rescue dog showing improvement after just a few sessions! I’ve also used their services when traveling. They send updates on the pup and make sure he is very well taken care of. Highly recommend them!!
We found Anna Marie on Yelp and trusted the good reviews she had- it was the first time we left our puppy with someone she didn't know and in another city. We loved Anna the first moment we met her, she was super kind, and you could tell she had a lot of knowledge and experience with dogs. We saw our puppy liked her from the very beginning and felt safe with her- we left her one full day and, when we picked her up, she was super happy and looked like Anna took great care of her. I highly recommend her; she is amazing!
Matthew & Anna Marie are fantastic! They started working with my bullmastiff puppy December 1, 2023 and my puppy has grown into such a wonderful, friendly, obedient dog with the kindness & training from Happy Heart Pet Care. I trust them 100% and my pup loves the time he gets to spend with them. Many thanks to them for all the support & help. Sam
Listen to the bad reviews. Unsafe conditions. The manager/owner, Valeria Gomez, does not maintain the cleanliness of the facility and does not take accountability for the injury or risk of health to the dogs in their care. My dog came back from a recent visit with bad infections in both eyes. Valeria responded quickly with a cut and paste reply wishing me well lol.
We took our dog here to get groomed. He is a Samoyed and their fur can’t be cut or trimmed so it’s awesome that he always comes out looking amazing. We absolutely love the affordable prices and that they require vaccination records before they groom your dog or board them.
They cancelled my grooming appointment TWICE. Both time last minute. Like I have no plans or a job. I took work off to get my dog groomed here but forget it.
Stone had such good customer service! Love this place! Has plenty of pet toys and supplies! Would recommend this place100%!
Great cute neighborhood pet spot! Very convenient and has a large array of toys and treats for cats and dogs
Love coming here. Has everything I need for my little guy and the staff is always welcoming.
Tried to give this place a chance but will no longer be bringing my dog here. There's been multiple times where I've requested that my dog be fed during his daycare stay there and they've forgotten more than once. We only find out later because my dog has a tendency to eat fast and then throw up all his food if he hasn't been fed at his appropriate times. This has happened three times right after bringing him home from K9. If they can't accommodate this request that's fine, I can adjust his feeding schedule but don't lie and say you can or you did feed him and then call me back and say you did in fact not feed him. My last straw was the last time I went to pick him up and they did NOT put on his leash properly and he almost ran out the door. With no help from staff even through they looked embarrassed I was able to properly leash him. The staff doesn't care, are rude and overpriced. Don't come here
My dog had his teeth cleaned but it wasn't as thorough as I hoped it would be. The outside surfaces of his teeth look clean but the chewing surfaces on his molars still have a lot of calculus that hasn't been removed. Don't get me wrong, I'm not super excited about having to put my dog under general anesthesia every time he needs his teeth cleaned but I think this is probably why people say non anesthesia cleanings won't cut it. Maybe this would be okay for maintenance cleanings but it doesn't look like it can replace cleanings done under the care of a vet.
Amazing store with great staff. I love this place, ask for sierra and stone.
Really great store has lots of choices for dogs treats and food along with cat food and treats.
Highly recommended! Mark is great with dogs - walks and training. He really helped my dog learn how to not pull on the leash and to interact with other dogs safely. He has been very consistent with dog walks and has worked with my ever-changing schedule.
We traveled from San Diego to LA for a concert and planned to leave our two pups in our room. Although, our hotel allowed pets they did not allow us to leave them unattended. Mark was very flexible and accommodating on such short notice. We met him within 30 minutes from contacting him and felt like we could trust him to watch our babies. During their time with him we received updates on how they were doing. Our babies returned with happy tails. We will be reaching out to A Big Dog House whenever we are in LA. Thanks Mark!
I highly recommend Mark for all pet needs. He is not just a pet sitter or a dog walker, but a respected animal behaviorist who came recommended to me by a fellow bulldog owner with years long experience with him. From the moment I met him, I could tell that he had a special conversation going on with animals. My dog was super calm hours after meeting him. As a single bulldog mom, the thought of putting my baby in the hands of rotating strangers, or programs where my Butch would just be a number, was painful, so meeting Mark was a huge relief. Mark has such love and respect for animals - and they love him right back! I trust Mark fully, and I rest assured knowing that my baby is in the best hands possible. Who wouldn’t want their fur baby in the hands of a highly capable animal whisperer?
I recently had the pleasure of working with Mark from A Big Dog House for dog walking services and I couldn't be happier. Right from the start, I could tell that Mark was knowledgeable, professional and personal. He was very knowledgeable about the dogs he walked, as well as the area. He also took the time to get to know my dogs on a personal level and made sure they got the best care possible. He always arrived on time and was very flexible with scheduling. I have been a repeat customer, hiring Mark's services twice a week, and my dogs always come home happy and tired. Additionally, I have used his overnight stay packages and was amazed by how well he took care of my pup. His dog grooming skills were also incredible. Overall, I highly recommend A Big Dog House and the services that Mark provides. He is an excellent dog walker and I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again. Thank you !
Strongly recommend Mark for your dog sitter needs. We were very comfortable leaving our baby with him & will definitely be using him again. Thank you for taking such good care of our Miss Maisie!
My dog literally ran into Mark while he was walking Rose. He taught me so much in this interaction - thank you Mark! I hope to run into you again - without the barking from my dog! <3<3<3
Mark is the true dog training guru! He has taken my pup Oreo into his four-week boarding/training Program and the results after just three weeks is nothing short of remarkable. HIGHLY recommend!!!!
Great service!!! he is the best with dogs he takes care of them very well I will for sure bring my little girl back to him. Highly recommend him .
They are great with the doggies! Mark goes above and beyond to give them a good and safe time while we travel, and we appreciate it so much! Great service and great care for our dogs.
Mark is a Zen master when it comes to dogs - his calm and warm demeanor instantly put our chi/JRT mix at ease. In less than a week, Mark had her walking with the pack, and we came home to a stress-free and happy doggo. Mark has a gift with animals, and understands what makes them tick.
My dog has been going to Whitaker for over a year now and he absolutely loves his days there! I also enjoy the fact that they are so flexible and the pick up/drop off makes it so much easier for us. They are so communicative and pleasant to deal with. Highly highly recommend them!
I could not be happier with these wonderful people! Every employee I have met, from the first person to come to my home to assess my dog, to every driver that has come to pick him up, has been conscientious, professional, and do a great job of communicating! The joy of seeing my puppy light up with excitement when they pull up to my home fills my heart to the brim. Thank you, to the whole Whitaker team!
We’ve been sending our pup here for over 4 yrs, and it’s been the best! The pick-up and drop-off service makes it so worth it, and on top of that, the guys who look after our dog are just the nicest and sweetest with her! They truly care for her and it makes us feel great leaving her with them. They’re also super responsive and flexible with scheduling. Highly recommend!
I have a reactive (insecure) puppy that had been in 1:1 training for a few months. He was still very fearful of other dogs, and I reached out to Whitaker to try to get him more socialized. The evaluation was super quick, and he started day care the next week. Britt is great with scheduling and communication. I got updates about how he was settling in, and the pick-up drop-off service is fantastic. I decided to board him over the Thanksgiving holiday and he looked so happy in all of the photos they shared. To be honest, I feel like he was a little disappointed to come home. While he was there, Aimee groomed him for the first time and took so much care in getting Gus Gus to be comfortable. I can’t rave about the staff enough. I’ve seen a complete 180 in how he greets and plays with other dogs. If you’re considering Whitaker for a shy dog, I highly recommend!!
Whitaker dog day camp is the absolute best! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. Our boy always comes home happy from his time there - we cannot overstate how much we appreciate Ethan and his team for taking care of our dog. Everyone is so nice and responsive, and one particular moment that stuck with me from one of his boarding stays is when the drop-off team member said "I played with him myself!" Having come from a daycare that leaves the dogs in a room to play with each other, this meant the world to me, as the folks at Whitaker take care to spend time with the pups and get to know them as well. They are also very responsive, and reply to any message I'll send them as soon as possible, as well as being accommodating. We greatly appreciate everyone at Whitaker, and look forward to more fun stays for Bonsai! :)
We’ve loved Whitaker while living in Echo Park. Our dog can be territorial but was always so so excited whenever he saw the Whitaker van roll up for pickup. The staff are very attentive and accommodating. Couldn’t recommend more!
Everyone has been so caring and helpful in helping to socialize my dog. She hadn't really been around other dogs and she's been having the time of her life at daycare and when she stays overnight with Whitaker Dog Day Camp. I couldn't be more grateful that she's having fun and I get to work without random puppy attacks lol.
Whitaker has been a total life changer for my dog and I! I cannot recommend them enough. The pick up/drop off service is incredible- but most importantly, the whole staff is responsive, friendly, and flexible. My dog loves going to doggy day camp with the Ethans and the whole crew. Thank you 🙏 …
The best doggy day care in L.A!! Our dog, Bodhi has been going to Whitaker Dog Care for over a year and we love Ethan's services including dog boarding. The pick-up and drop-off is the most convenient! We now have a second dog and started sending him with Ethan as well about two months ago. They both come home happy and exhausted! Thank you to Ethan and his team for being so reliable and trustworthy.
Ethan is an amazing dude with a passion for dogs. He and his team have been taking care of our Border Collie since he was a puppy and they have a great bond. After some bad experiences with other boarding facilities, we always look forward to having Ziggy go with Ethan because we can trust him to take personalized care of our little guy. The pickup and drop-off is a huge bonus and takes a lot of stress out of leaving town. Highly recommend Whitaker if you live in the Frogtown / Silverlake area!
I wish I could give Dog Camp LA 5,00000 stars - 5 just doesn't do justice for their one-of-a-kind company. When I started a new job earlier this year where I couldn't take my dog to work, I was panicking with how to handle it. After some research, my initial phone call with Brenda immediately calmed my nerves and she was able to accommodate us and meet the very next day. Since then, it has been nothing but smooth sailing - Dog Camp LA are my literal heroes lol. Each update from their trained, dedicated, professional and incredibly sweet walkers make my (and my dog's) day. They feel like family now and even when I have to book last minute or cancel with a shifting schedule, they are the most understanding and quick to support our needs: like just yesterday there was a small earthquake in LA and one of their amazing walkers came to check on my dog to make sure she was ok! I could go on and on, genuinely beyond grateful for Dog Camp LA.
Elliott at Dog Camp is super. He takes great care of our cat Mars and she loves all of the attention she gets from him. He sends us fun pics of her during their visits that show how happy she is. We and Mars are very comfortable with him. Thanks Elliott.
Dog Camp is great! My dog adores all his regular walkers, especially Emily, who he runs to greet whenever she arrives :)
Wonderful, caring, friendly service. They go out of their way to please. I feel completely safe leaving my pet in their care.
They house sat for us and we have a little terrier (a hyper dog!) and they were great! Trustworthy and clean. They even took our dog on hikes and wore her out. I would recommend them to anyone. WELL worth the peace of mind to have pros look after our baby.
Our sitter for July 4th weekend was wonderful with our high maintenance, timid dogs. Communication was great and she listened to and followed all my concerns. I will definitely be using dog camp again.
Responsible experienced dog care. One of the best in the business
Love it here. If I was a dog I wouldn't want to leave!
An excellent service that really cares about its customers
Wagville is the best! We found ourselves in need of daycare and boarding for our little guy, and Wagville was an answer to our prayers. It’s been 2 years now and I am still impressed with how consistently amazing they are. Jill at the front desk is super on top of it and I always rest easy knowing that my dog is in the best of hands with the caring staff. They genuinely love dogs and go above and beyond to make your pups feel safe and comfortable. My guy was turned away from the first daycare we tried because he was too nervous. Wagville was so helpful in his transition that now he wags his tail when we arrive!
the bombest spot ever, we love Wagville and so does our husky!
Couldn't even get an appointment for an evaluation.. there are soooo many hoops and obstacles to negotiate that its nearly impossible.. but even after i did everything they required, also more than any other boarding facility and without leniency on the Influenza vaccine shortage they refused to give me a review date until after the week after I needed boarding. Why make it impossible for potential customers to use your service?? especially when there are many other boarding options available in LA. I went to K9loft and had an evaluation the next day and a reservation for the time I needed.. sure it was more expensive but it was also hassle free. Wagville's list of requirements are a barrier and the woman I was trying to work only added to the the difficulty with to get this appointment. I made intentions clear of when i needed boarding.. and they literally gave me NO options but to go elsewhere. I don't understand how they stay in business, being so difficult.. good luck.
They have the process nailed down. Well organized, friendly staff, they really know what they're doing!
We take our dog here to board because he is a little too big to fly. They have a video feed that allows you to watch your dog during normal business hours. There are both indoor and outdoor areas. Our dog has spent up to two weeks there at a time without ill effects and he seems happy to check in. They have requirements for overnight stays, you need a valid dog license and up to date medical stuff to book a spot. They also have day care which we've never tried.
my favorite place to take my dog that i never get to take my dog to because they don’t let you drop off or pickup on weekends unless its for the whole weekend. cant pickup on sunday. cant drop off on saturday. also gotta call ahead for daycare which is sometimes difficult. that said, i love the indoor/outdoor openness, and that the dogs sleep out in the same area they play.
Best place to take our doggy to daycare. I love the emails they send and they take such good care of the pups and the facility. Highly recommend.
Wagville is amazing!! The staff are so caring and kind and I love that I can watch my pup on the web cams. My dog absolutely loves it and gets so excited when we pull up to the building :) so happy we found such an awesome place for doggy day camp!
WagVille is run by an excellent team. Everyone is professional and skillful and create a warm and playful atmosphere for our dog, Luna. We love the level of attention the dogs get and the nice routines set by WagVille. Your dog can play indoors with fellow pooches or outdoors in the wading pools. The webcams are such a nice touch and are well positioned. Any time we need a sitter, we rely on WagVille. Long term stays are no problem. Just be sure to call ahead because they are in high demand as they should be. Raving reviews only.
Left my dogs there for a weekend getaway. They have a camera/webcam where you can see them. Discount given for multiple dogs. A bit pricey than some other doggy camps but you get what you pay for. Service is awesome. Staff are very helpful and attentive. Will use their service again.
Marie is amazing. Wow. She’s the most amazing cat whisperer. We are so blessed and grateful we met Marie our savior for our love JJ. I have had total peace in heart and mind that JJ was with Marie. And he started glowing and looked so happy and healthy. I never worried even though our parting took longer than expected. We are so so grateful a sb appreciative that God aligned our love with Marie. Thank you forever.
My kitties Maisy and Eleanor were spoiled with lots of love and attention. The photos, videos, and updates were a huge peace of mind. They normally don't like anyone, but they loved Marie. They didn't even want to come home when I picked them up lol. Thank you so much.
This place is amazing. Milo is always spoiled with lots of love and attention and I love the daily cute video updates. Thank you so much.
Wonderful dog boarding. Very compassionate and cage-free. Thank you for putting my mind at ease.
Super good!!!👍 …
Excellent service, I felt very comfortable knowing that my colleagues (Lucas and Paco) were very happy. It's the 3rd time Marie takes care of them. 100% recommended
Congratulations 🎈 for helping our little animals, the kittens, friend Lupita …
We absolutely love the Den for our pup! They are caring, attentive, and a fun group of individuals. We send Utah to agility classes, and she recently completed a Reactive Rover class, we have seen a significant improvement in her ability to listen to us and not be as reactive to strangers. We also send Utah here for daycare and boarding, as this is a place we trust. We have also recommended friends bring their pups to Den, and Utah hangs out with her Den friends outside of daycare.
5-stars for this business. My dog has never been so happy, and he’s an experienced doggy daycarer! The ‘Den Urban Dog Retreat’ are mindful of everything from the moment you handover in the am, the time spent in their care, the activities played, updates which provide a daily photo (attached), to the final collection in the pm. Also, it’s clear that they treat and train their staff well, because they are all so lovely and informative. I truly can’t say enough good stuff about this place as their level of service and care is hard to compete with. Thank-you, were so glad we found you; I have peace of mind for the first time.
Wow, I don't even know where to start with this amazing place! I'm SO GRATEFUL to have found them for my Nova. The staff is beyond fantastic - all so caring and compassionate and clearly so passionate about dogs. I was nervous trying a new daycare and overnight facility for my dog, but they made me feel SO comfortable when I dropped her off and they were so great with her. I got great updates every day via emailed photos, and could tell my girl was totally chill there. When I picked her up, it was so clear that they had really paid attention to her all week and given her the love that I hoped they would. I have never trusted a facility or group of dog lovers more than I trust Den. I can't recommend them highly enough!! Truly so, so grateful to have found them. They go above and beyond for dogs' happiness and care.
We've taken our goldendoodle here every other week or so for grooming for a couple of years now. We tried a few others in the area until our friends told us about Linda here at DEN. She is so nice and our dog loves both the haircuts and the bath and brush sessions. I love that our dog doesn't come home smelling like cleaning chemicals like he did from the other local groomers we tried. All the people who work there are very nice and obviously love all the dogs there. Booking appointments is easy through the website. Tip: Book appointments about a week ahead of time to get the times you want.
These folks are just extremely special amazing fantastic people and caregivers. Ownership and staff are all warm and compassionate yet firm and knowledgeable about the best way to handle dogs, in our experience. Early on, we signed up our Cleo for their puppy socialization and that was very impactful for her in the best way. These days she goes with them every morning for a hike and twice a week she stays with them all day for playtime. She has even stayed overnight with them for as long as a month - special diet and all. I can’t say enough good things about the people here . This is even better than leaving your dog with family or best friends.
My dog Atlas, who is a very sensitive little guy with a traumatic past, has such a great time at Den. Before his meet and greet he was shaking in the car, now he knows exactly where we are when we pull up and his tail is wagging the whole way. I've had bad experiences with other daycare centers, but it's so clear that everyone who works at Den actually loves the dogs and wants what's best for them. So glad to have found Den and can't recommend them enough!
DEN Urban Dog Retreat adds so much to the beauty of this city, Los Angeles. I couldn't be more grateful for the paw-bulous work they do for doggies and their human parents alike. They offer a variety of services to enrich the doggies' integrative health. Thank you for existing and for your services!
This establishment is condescending and rude. I’ve lived in the neighborhood for years and we’ve always helped each other out with each others pets. Recently one of our dogs has been getting out more and finding his way to this establishment (obviously because he smells other dogs) this afternoon they decided to lecture an 18 year old and basically threatened to catch and rehome the dog if it happens again. As if it wasn’t bad enough you’re gentrifying the neighborhood we love, now you think you’re better than the actual community? Never taking a dog here.
Very friendly staff and they definitely know their stuff. Booked my dog for day care since I don't always have time to give her the attention she needs and when I picked up my dog she was calm and happy like I have seldom seen! The rest of their pack really balanced out my dogs personality and I could tell she was happy and had got some good exercise in. We also got her groomed in their fabulous spa room (see pic). It's the kind of place that people would like to stay at, not just the dogs! Great job guys, we'll be back!
My dog is treated with love and care- they are 100% attentive and keep the daycare sizes small. This not only show that the owners are not in it for the profit only- but they actually care about the well being of your pet. They go above and beyond basic doggy services. It’s been a huge gift to have their support with my fur baby and my schedule. Tried many other locations and this is leagues above the rest. Do not hesitate to feel secure in knowing your pet will have the best care possible.
We love Country Dog Ranch, we needed a place for our active Belgian Malinois pity mix to go for boarding that knew how to fulfill the needs of our dog. We searched and searched and then a friend referred us to CDR and it has been a life saver we can go on vacation or even send her out for a day and know that she is well taken care of and that she has such a blast out there and always comes back tired. And we love checking the Instagram feed while she is out there to see her having a blast with all the other dogs and playing in the pool.
I am BEYOND satisfied with Dominic’s & Country Dog Ranch service. After needing a place for my Border Collie medium-sized 2-year-old dog to be taken care of. this has been by far the BEST experience that my puppy has had yet. The professionalism, constant communication & well-way responsive messages really did help and went a long way. Videos were sent throughout the stay and no worries about my sweet fur baby. I can’t wait for her stay again soon! I HIGHLY recommend this stay for your puppy! Thank you so very much. We are extremely happy! Ps. The pickup and drop off also goes such a long way! My puppy is now passed out sleeping after all fun activities she had.
Country Dog Ranch is the best! I know my dog always has a great time because he tries to run to every van that looks like the ones that CDR uses for pickup and drop-off. We have been using Country Dog Ranch for boarding for 3 years and recommend it to all our friends, who now send their dogs to CDR as well. Highly recommend!
The Country Dog Ranch is excellent. I take my dog there every time I have to travel for work or otherwise. I really trust them to take care of my dog Bryant. He always has so much fun there and the owner sends me videos of my dog on walks or in the pool. The owner (Dominique Dewitte) is excellent and very communicative and can arrange for pickups sometimes. Your dog will have a great time there!
My mini goldendoodle, Maisie, has been going here for about a year now, and I cannot say enough good things about this dog daycare. For $50 a day, the dogs are picked up from your home, taken to the daycare/camp for about 8 hours, and then returned back home in the evening. Maisie loves Dominick and his staff, and she always comes back happy and tired. The dogs have 6 acres to play, and there's a pool. Dominick has always been extremely communicative and very easy to work with. He never takes on more dogs than he and his team can comfortably control and handle, which is very appreciated. I recommend Country Dog Ranch to anyone looking for an affordable daycare for their dog,. Truly the best deal around.
Country Dog Ranch has been incredible with my dog Remy. He's reliable, responsive in a pinch, and my dog absolutely loves going to daycare with him. I'd have nothing but the best for my dog, and Country Dog Ranch always provides! The pricing is great, the service is excellent, and their location is incredible. This is by far the best dog-sitter I've ever had, I cannot recommend them enough!
My dog went to Country Dog Ranch for years and she absolutely loved every time she went. She got plenty of outdoor time, lots of space to run around and Dominic was always very kind to her. You can tell he has a real love for dogs and his pack is lucky to have him. Highly recommend.
Best day care and overnight boarding facility for dogs ever! Dominique is very patient with my rowdy puppy and my elder dog, who needs special care. I trust him completely with both dogs, who have ultimate respect for him. Casey loves going to the ranch for the day, romping and playing with her canine friends, swimming in the pool, running off leash all day! The in-home overnight boarding, pickup and delivery service is fabulous and the online videos of the dogs' activities are great to watch. My pup always comes home at the end of the day tired and happy.
I've been working with Dominique since 2010 and he and his wife run the most wonderful service! He's been taking my dogs twice a week for exercise and socialization, and occasional overnight boarding when I have to go out of town. I will never board my dogs anywhere else given the choice. He is thoughtful and kind and I trust him completely. He also has so much experience with dogs and gives me much needed advice when I ask. I would (and do) recommend his services to everyone!
This place is an absolute blessing! My Australian Cattle Dog stays there regularly while I travel for work and she could not be happier. Dom is an amazing person and a true dog whisperer. He runs The Country Dog Ranch impeccably and it is a beautiful place with rolling hills and open space AND a swimming pool made just for dogs!! Dom is communicative and responsive and posts videos on Facebook so you can see your dog running around having an amazing time. Also, his pick up and drop off service is priceless. I don't know how I'd get by without Dom and his wonderful Country Dog Ranch!
Renata and Rebeca are amazing!! We left on a 10 day trip and we were anxious about leaving our dogs. With Marge (our new rescue), the thought of boarding her was depressing since she was fresh out of the shelter and just getting used to being in a home again. Rio Pet Hostel provided a comfy, more personable alternative to boarding. First, we did a meet-and-greet where we met Rebeca, Renata, and their pup Mandy outside their apartment. We then went into their place so Kevin and Marge could explore the environment. Kevin and their dog Mandy immediately started playing (Kevin usually doesn't play) so we knew it would be a good fit. The apartment is extremely dog friendly, complete with a dog teepee, pet-safe balcony and lots of toys. We asked lots of questions- the dogs are never left home alone, and Rio Pet Hostel is comfortable administering medication (Marge was fresh out of surgery when we had to leave so that was key). They also love bringing the dogs outside to the dog park or beach, so they aren't just sitting around with zero stimulation. When we picked them up, they gave us 2 printed photos of our dogs from their stay and a little gift bag of dog treats! It was so nice and adorable!! They are extremely flexible with pick up/drop off times, and the ability to pay via venmo makes things super easy. While on our trip, we received daily updates consisting of amazing photos and videos. It was reassuring to see that we left our dogs in great hands. I've attached some of the amazing photos we received from Rio Pet Hostel while we were away. They are seriously stunning- I don't think we will ever do regular boarding again. Rio Pet Hostel also provides daycare, dog walking, and home visit services. Check them out- you will not regret it!
Rio Pet Hostel Hollywood is a GEM! I can't believe I am so lucky as to have found them. My dog Daisy loves them - she gets excited every day/time she comes over! And she is one tired pup when she comes home from all the fun she has! I always get adorable pictures and videos so I know what Daisy is up to, since I miss her when I'm away! The girls always work with my schedule to help me out, and I appreciate them so much. I hope I never have to find another dogsitter ever! Rio Pet Hostel is NUMBER 1!!!!
I love my pup Anya so much and would only leave her with people I really trust. I’m so glad I found Rio Pet Hostel. Renata and Rebeca are so sweet with her and are great about sending pictures, videos, and text updates. Anya is a bit timid around other dogs and I’m glad we have Rio Pet Hostel to look after her when I’m away and also give her a chance to socialize with other dogs in a safe environment.
This place is AMAZING! I’ve had my little pup stay with them overnight for one day all the way up to 9 days when I went out of town. The ladies that own this business are nothing short of living miracles! They have accommodated me on short notices and when travel plans changed. They keep in direct contact with you through your pet’s stay with photos, videos, and text updates. They even gift you a little bag of treats when you come to get your little one. My pupper loves it so much there that she doesn’t seem to want to leave when I come to pick her up! 15/10 will use this place again! No need to look any further than Rio!
Renata, Rebeca, and Mandy took fantastic care of our dog, Dipper, with all their hearts, bringing him in like one of the family, if only for just the weekend! Everyday was filled with photos and videos of Dipper popping up on our phones for our own peace of mind. Dipper had a great time and came back to us as his happiest self. They even gave us a professional photo of him and a treat to go! 5 stars is not enough!
The best dog sitters in Hollywood!! So sweet & always so accommodating. I send my pup here knowing I’ll have an ease of mind. I always get sent pics of my pup and get updates throughout the day. Ive been leaving my baby here for daycare the past year and my pup always comes home happy and tired. Thank you guys so much!!
Absolutely love and highly recommend Hollywood Dog Sitters! They treat our little Jeanie as if she’s their own, they make sure is she comfortable, happy and always playing! We wouldn’t be able to do our jobs if it wasn’t for Hollywood Dog Sitters, book them today!
These girls are literally my lifeline. My dog (Maus the grey Whippet) is my most precious thing in my life and as I go away for long stints for work (most recently over a month) I need to have piece of mind that she is being beautifully cared for. Maus can't wait to go back because it's way more fun with them than with me!!! They take her in as part of their wonderful family and for that I am eternally grateful. Their prices are so reasonable and what you get is literally beyond measure. Maus always comes home looking happy, healthy and content. I couldn't recommend the Rio pet hotel highly enough. I'm so so lucky to have found them. 1000/10 would be my rating if it was possible!
Highly recommend Rio Pet Hostel to everyone! My pup loves going there and I never worry about him. They are reliable, kind, and provide a loving space for my pup when I can't be there!
Best dog hotel I know they took such good care of my puppy and I always plan to use their service:)
