Pet Sitters in West Rancho Dominguez

It's clean and there's lots of things for the dogs to play with. The person that showed us around was very nice and answered every question we had. They even offer different packages tailored to fit your dog's needs. For example, I got the calming package for my dog. After taking the tour,I felt much better about leaving my dog with them for the night.

These folks really care about the pets left in their care. They put the effort in for our guy, Mr G, to make him feel comfortable in spite of his reactivity. We really appreciate the staff at Joyful Paws and think you will too!

I was so terrified to leave my 6 month old kitten fo the 6 days, but every staff member I encountered was able to ease my fears!! My kitten did so well, they were so patient and kind with him. He can be a bit spicy when meeting new people, but he adapted do well to their kindness. I most definitely will be returning for a visit to Joyful Paws Hotel!!

While the staff was friendly, I was extremely dissatisfied with this day care. Please DO NOT take your dog here under any circumstances. The first time I took my husky here, his nails were bleeding when I picked him up. When I asked staff, they had no idea what the cause was and barely noticed it when they turned in my dog to me. He must have been pawing at a fence for a long time and gotten ignored! The other two times I took him, he came out a complete mess and extremely dirty. The picture below is the last time ever brought him in on August 18 2023. He had a horrible stain on his left cheek that almost TWO MONTHS LATER has not completely gone away!!! If you look closely, he still has a light pink/brown stain on his left cheek. I’ve tried professional groomers, whitening shampoo, and nothing works. I assume it must have been some type of tar or oil that my husky got into. Once again, I asked staff if they knew what he was getting himself into, and they were unaware of what caused the mess. They didn’t notice it until they gave me my dog at pickup. Lastly, I know someone who’s dog suffered a spinal injury here and they deleted the footage!! Regardless if you believe the spinal injury story, the evidence of how Joyful Paws neglected my dogs needs is right here. I will be taking my dog to the vet and after the evaluation, I will reach out to Joyful Paws and request compensation because this is ridiculous especially for the price they charge. If you care about your dog’s safety please don’t leave them here.

Staff was super friendly and helpful. It was a first for my pup and they made us feel comfortable and secure. Will be using them on a regular basis. Ive been going here for over a year and continue to be impressed with the staff who look after our Ollie! oliver loves the staff and all his friends at Joyful Paws.

My Chihuahua loves to go here and be social with his friends when I'm busy. Recently boarded him for three nights and he was returned happy and healthy. Will return for more visits! They are very well organized

My dog stayed here for the first time this past week. I was very impressed with the professionalism of Joyful Paws and completely trusted that my dog was safe and well taken care of here. I was able to watch my dog during play time every day with the Wag Vision live cameras. I loved the daily report cards and photos! Also, she was given a great thanksgiving meal, a bath, nail trim, and goody bag upon departure. I recommend Joyful Paws to all my fellow pet parents! Definitely will continue coming here for lodging and maybe even daycare! They are also great with following COVID precautions - limited people in the lobby allowed, curbside pickup/drop off, wearing masks, etc.

My dog LOVES Joyful Paws - he’s always so excited to go. The staff is super friendly and very attentive! I love that they do breaks during the day so the dogs aren’t overstimulated and given time to rest between play times.

This was Mimi’s first time boarding and Joyful Paws took great care of her. We received a daily report card with pictures letting us know how she was doing. Highly recommend and will definitely use their services again!

1st day meet and greet. Staff was very pleasant i was given a tour this morning, and the young lady answered all of my concerns. Made me feel comfortable leaving ny dog in their care. The facility was clean. I had the ability to view my dog through Webcam which is a big plus. He was a little shy, but with time i do believe he will adjust. TY for caring and for taking care of Taco

10/10 RECOMMEND Professional - Knowledgeable - Reliable - Friendly Like many dog parents going on vacation is difficult when trying to ensure your pets are well cared for in a loving and safe environment. TIFF provides just that and more! TIFF pet sat my 3 small dogs ages 16, 15, 3 from 9/1-9/9 in her home. She had a comfy dog bed set up, fresh water bowl, and toys ready to welcome the pups. Her complex has a fenced in courtyard where the dogs can easy sniff around and get some exercise. Very nice neighborhood for walks too. TIFF put my worries at ease answering all my questions at our meet and greet prior to their stay. She even went the extra mile and visited the pups at my home a few weeks before so they can get more familiar with her. While I was out of the country we received text/photo updates and a video call. Unexpectedly there was a heat wave and could sense how well she was handling the situation and making sure the dogs were as comfortable as possible considering the circumstances. We are thankful to Tiff for providing such great service and will book again.

Cannot recommend Tiff's services enough! She takes care of our fur family whenever we're out of town. She provides constant updates and photos/videos, and is especially good at training and socializing the pups all together. We've been repeat clients for 2 years now with zero issues, and our dogs LOVE her. Will always recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter/boarder.

Tiff is our go to dog walker when we are too busy or out of town. She is dependable and sends me updates and photos of her time caring for Bella and Brutus. She has trimmed Bella's nails for me when asked. I appreciate that she has expanded her services to include pawpedis. :) It is nice to work with someone you trust.

Tiff has been essentially a co parent of my dog and I trust her more with knowing how to take good care of her than myself. My dog loves going there so I feel zero guilt if we need to leave town and I'm so grateful for Tiff. She's extremely flexible when things come up (eg new baby seen here!) and if it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't be able to have a dog or kid or at least one would be neglected 😑. Also she does her due diligence to make sure whoever she is boarding gets along well with others. Thank you Tiff!! Almost don't want to recommend you to others since then you may get too busy but I try to behave ethically and unselfishly 😛. Highly recommend! Especially if you have a dog you don't want to leave overnight at a daycare.

Tiff is everything that you want in a pet sitter and if I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. We have a Siberian husky with significant separation anxiety issues and I think it says it all when our dog can't wait to leave the comfort of our car to run up to Tiff's door :) Tiff is incredibly responsible, dependable, and goes out of her way to accommodate our needs. There have been a few times where our plans got delayed and we had to pick our dog up later than expected. However, Tiff was so understanding and flexible and made sure that we didn't rush, worry, or cut our activities short. She treats our dog like one of her own- giving him lots of love and pets, taking him to the dog park, and even treating him to Puppuccinos. We checked out a LOT of doggy daycares when we first adopted our dog and Tiff's Doggy Daycare & Pet Boarding is by far the BEST. We have used her services for over a year now for both daycare and pet boarding and we have a great experience every time.

Tiff and Jimmy are honest, reliable, and terrific pet sitters. When I was in the hospital, they came to my home twice a day to feed, clean up after, and socialize with my beloved dog, macaw, and parrot. Tiff kept in touch with me daily via e-mail and/or text letting me know how my critters were doing and even sent photos! I highly recommend Tiff’s Doggy Daycare!!! Bonnie

Tiffany is absolutely wonderful. I feel safe and my best friend Is when he is at Tiff’s Doggie Daycare & Pet Boarding. I use her service for boarding my buddy for several days at a time. I have never had a single issue. She an awesome caregiver flyover my Kobi!! Love you guys!!

Tiffany was great with my dog. She took the time to do meet and greet (she really took the time to get to know my dog and I was well informed as well). I feel VERY comfortable leaving my baby with her. Tiffany sent updates and pictures during the stay, that ease my mind greatly since it was our first time. My dog seems very happy on the day I dropped him off. It seemed like he was not in the hurry to go home with me when I picked him up, lol. That's how comfortable my dog felt under Tiffany's care. Our plan changed last minute and Tiffany was very kind to accommodate our pick up time. Tiffany's awesome care gave me the peace of mind when leaving my dog with her while I traveled for work. I was able to focus on my work and was not worried about my dog at all. I will definitely use Tiffany again for my future needs.

Butters stayed with Tiff a year ago and loved her. We now also have a 60 lb. bull dog. I was concerned that he was too big, but Tiff wasn't worried, and from the pictures we got from her, he seemed to love her as much as Butters. If you don't want your dogs at a mass confusion dog hotel, Tiff is the one to go to!! Personal attention and loving care!!

Tiff went above and beyond to help take care of my dog during my trip out of state. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find a reliable sitter for my rowdy 6 month old pitbull puppy, but Tiff's experience and understanding was exactly what I needed to put my mind at ease. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable sitter.

I just want to state how pleasantly surprised I was with the service provided by WalknRoll. Everyone I talked to throughout the setup/application process was professional, responsive, and friendly. When I dropped my guy Mickey off and met Midori, I was immediately comfortable knowing he would be staying in a beautiful home with a genuinely sweet sitter. Midori and her Family sent me pictures of Mickey playing, resting, and going on walks. I could tell he was having an incredible time. I’m so glad I found Walk n Roll. I’ll definitely be using them in the near future and I know Mickey will be excited to see all his friends again.

Tish and Team are awesome! We completely trust them to take care of our pup and use them every time we need a dog sitter. Very satisfied with their services.

couldnt even get my foot in the door. I tried to set up a new pet appointment. I think Tish was having a bad day & i made a mistake of trying to get information close to closing time. she's successively discouraged me from proceeding with the process. it's clear they do not need your business.

My family found themselves in a very tight spot, and needed care for our four pups right away! Tish and Tissa moved mountains to help us out, and were an integral part for several months of providing care in one way or another for us, whether it be transporting them to and from the vet, long term boarding, and spoiling them with love and snuggles! When we were able to get back to them, they were very happy and you could tell they had been cared for beautifully! Thank you ladies for all you do!

We have been using Walk N Roll Pet Sitting since our Golden Retriever, Sophie, was a puppy and have had such a positive experience. Our primary sitter, Midori and her family, are amazing and the consistent updates on social media let us know that Sophie is enjoying her time while we are away. I highly recommend Walk N Roll.

Tish and Anissa at Walk N Roll came through for me and my pup big time at the last minute when I had a sudden surgery that had an extensive recovery time. I couldn't care for my dog and was in a panic of what to do. They were there for us every step of the way, even when recovery didn't go as easily as planned, they were able to accommodate and keep my baby safe in their care longer so I could focus on getting better. I could see in the photos that my pup was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. They were flexible and compassionate and always had my dog's best interest at heart. This is a really first class operation and I highly recommend Walk N Roll Pet Sitting without hesitation. Thanks for caring for Rio!

At Walk N Roll, our dog was treated like one of the family, and she received so much love and attention. While she was there for a 2 week stay, we were sent photos regularly of our dog going on outings, or relaxing at home. This helped to keep my children calm, knowing that their beloved pet was in good hands. When our return flights were suddenly canceled, they were very gracious and accommodating, which was such a relief! Knowing that our rescue dog was safe and loved, in a caregivers home (and not in a boarding facility in a small cage with a dog run), gave us so much comfort. As testament to the care she received, our dog is now missing her Walk N Roll pet sitter!

Leaving my golden retriever, Ginger, for two weeks felt like I was leaving my daughter behind, but when I saw how well cared for she was by Midori and family through social media posts, including both pictures and videos, I knew she was in the best of hands. In fact, I have already scheduled Ginger to stay with her again for my next upcoming trip. I would absolutely recommend Walk N Roll Pet Sitting and Dog Walking to anyone needing dog sitting or walking.

Walk N Roll watched our two labradoodles over the Christmas and New Year holidays. Our trip was relaxing now that Tish and Anissa were taking good care of our dogs. We received photos almost everyday, and they went out of their way to kept us posted. Will definitely use their services again!

Our black lab had a great vacation at Walk N Roll Pet Sitting. He stayed with Tish, and her chocolate lab and 2 Pugs, for 10 days. Tish kept us posted via mail as to how he was doing during his stay, and included several pictures, which our kids enjoyed receiving. It was comforting to know that while we were out of town, our dog was in such good hands, enjoying Tish's backyard and being able to play with her own dogs. It was quite obvious to us that Tish is a real dog person, and we highly recommend her. Your pet will be well cared for and given lots of attention while staying with Tish.

Highly recommend! We love and are so grateful to Ally McPets for providing high-quality, easy-to-book care for our guinea pigs. Jill is great to work with and our sitter Jordan always does an amazing job. It’s a huge relief to know that when we go out of town, our pets are in good hands. We especially love the service reports with pictures! ♥️

We went on vacation for over 2 weeks and left our cat, Edward, with Ally McPets. We couldn’t be happier! Every night we received a detailed report and adorable photos! Katrina did an AMAZING job. I will recommend Ally McPets to all of my friends and we will be using this service again. Ally McPets gave us peace of mind.

We started using Ally McPets this year after moving to their service area. We have 2 dogs and usually request drop-in visits. We receive pictures and report cards very quickly after the visits are completed. Our sitter, Carol, is great and it has been really easy to work with both her and Jill. Highly recommend!

New clients to Ally McPets and we loved the service. We highly recommend them as they are very caring and knowledgeable professionals. We were away for a week, Rose our sitter, sent us daily updates and pictures of our fur baby. We will definitely use their services again.

We have used Ally McPets for 3 years and their service is excellent. They came out for an initial consultation to meet our pets and have taken great care of them wherever we are gone for a few days or a few weeks. After each visit they send an email update with pictures and even bring mail and packages inside. We fully trust Amber and Jill with our pets!

Amazing service! It was our first time to leave our cat home alone for over two days, but since the meet and greet meeting with Jill I knew i could trust them and Ms. Cookie would be in good hands. They were very responsive form day 1, very professional and thorough during the meet and greet appointment, when they took notes on our cat's habits. They send you a daily report with pics that really makes you know someone is actually taking care of your pets. We were away for almost three weeks and we never felt worried for our cat, we knew she was getting the best care possible. We will keep using Ally McPets and we'll recommend them to our firends.

Amazing company. This was my first time using Ally McPets services and I am very happy with the care they provided for my pets. They were quick to respond to my initial email and were very professional during the meet& greet. They took notes and asked questions regarding the needs for my two birds and guinea pig. During the week we were out of town I received daily reports with pictures that assured me my pets needs were met. I look forward to using their services when I go out of town and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for the best care for their pets. Ollie, Sophia and Winter are so grateful to have had Adrienne take care of them.

Ally McPets is a godsend for those trying to arrange care for their pets when drawn out-of-town for fun or work! We were scrambling to find someone who could care for a 10-week year old kitten we rescued two weeks before a previously scheduled vacation. The kitten had warmed up to us after having being abandoned and we were concerned our absence would set him back (possibly permanently). Ally McPets saved the day. The kitten took to the person they assigned to feed and visit him. While we were away, we enjoyed the daily reports and pictures that were sent. When we returned, it was like the kitten never missed a beat. Thank you Ally McPets for being there!

Jill from Ally McPets is the best! For the past 3 years, Jill has consistently provided top level of service. She is organized, dependable, and compassionate, and can even administer medications while we're away. I love that Jill is so quick to respond. Whether it's a request for a pet sitting date or asking her to check if I left the garage door open in my rush to the airport, I get a response quickly. Jill is a true professional and perfect for the job.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALLY McPETS. Jill and her team at Ally McPets have been my trusted pet sitter for more than 7 years. She's almost like a member of the family. It is such a comfort to know Ally McPets is looking in on our cats when we're away, giving them much needed attention, (medicine when necessary), refreshing food and water, cleaning their litter boxes and also other light duties such as bringing in mail and keeping an eye on the house. Jill is also very responsive for those times when we haven't been able to give her much advance notice to arrange service. We're so grateful for her flexibility. Plus, she and her team are really nice people - an absolute pleasure to do business with. FIVE STAR PLUS!

The best! Mihail is flexible, caring, and trustworthy. I’m very particular about who I leave my dog with and I’ve loved having him and his team to take care of my girl. The pick up and drop off makes coordinating with my 13 hour work days so much easier. My dog is always excited to go with him & comes home tired!

We were looking for a dog trainer as well as pet boarding. Mihail, owner of Long Beach Pet Care was highly recommended for our 6-month-old Brittany, Rhett. He loved his new play friends. He enjoyed group walks & lots of socializing and training at his 2 week-long summer camp. Mihail took such great care of our Rhett. I never worried about him. We live in Brea, the distance was not at all a problem for us. We highly recommend LBPC. Taking Rhett there will be a pleasure.

We found Long Beach Pet Care, shortly after moving to Long Beach a few years ago. The thing was we needed a dog walker that had experience with senior large breeds, specifically Akita‘s. If you own a Akita or large breed like an Akita, you know the struggle of finding reliable dog walkers, kennels or dog sitters that are willing to work with your breed. We were so happy to have found Mihail and his team with Long Beach Pet Care! They have a initial meet and greet, to make sure it’s a good fit. Our dog loved her walks with Mihail and team. She also got to enjoy group walks! I noticed a huge difference when I took her for walks after being walked by Mihail, she would walk at my pace. We had such a great experience with the walks, we added on daycare at times and overnight boarding. They truly care about the animals they walk or board, and as a owner you can have peace of mind that your dog will be exercised and enjoy fun times.

Although, a generous Tip and and Thank you might seem like enough for a job well done with our fur-babies. I felt the need to share our very recent experience so that you a current or potential client of Long Beach Pet Care can rest assured that you have found the Absolute Best!!! in Pet Care and Boarding. Monday, April 25th, 2022. Received a call from my sister in law that my brother who is a cancer survivor and current dialysis patient is Septic throughout his body and Gangrene along with other heart issues has given him only days to live. As I am throwing stuff in a bag with one hand and renting a car to drive to Idaho with the other. I am thinking I have to go online and try and book care for my fur babies asap! I can’t even think at this point. I just call Mihail and leave him what I am sure is a very frantic message of needing care for my babies. I make contact with Mihail and he is so quick to assure me that he has “the crew” which he calls my 3 babies. I tell him I don’t know when I will be back and he says don’t worry I’ve got them. Just keep in touch. Yes! I have used Mihail’s services once before and that was a Huge Success!! So, his few words put me at ease that I didn’t have to worry. His constant communication during the time I was gone was priceless to me. I’m sure it was just his way of continuing to offer support and ease at a time that I needed it most. Far from what you could expect from an overpriced boarding/kennel service. Not only were my babies able to stay in their own home. Mihail’s, prices and commitment to care for them as his own. Made a very difficult time, the best experience for me and my babies!! Thank you Mihail!!!❤️

My Sunday loved Mihail! He's such a gem. I know she's safe and well taken care of when with him. Also, I get updates daily, great communication!

Long Beach Pet Care and its owner Mihail were a godsend to me three years ago when I was trying to find a dog walker for my new rescue pit-bull, Petunia. She is my baby, and I was not going to leave her in the hands of just anyone. Mihail took the time to come and meet Petunia -- free of charge -- to ensure she was a good fit for him and the other dogs she would be around, which she was. That was three years ago, and since then Petunia and Bowie (another pit mix who joined our family a few months later) have enjoyed countless doggy daycare outings and hikes with Mihail and the pack. You have to check out his Instagram account @longbeachpetcare to really get a sense of how amazing he is; I call him the 'LBC Dog Whisperer.' Even more important, Petunia and Bowie love and adore Mihail. Before I leave for work, I tell them both, "have fun with Mihail today," and its instant smiles and wiggle-butts. I have such peace of mind knowing my babies are in good hands and being taken care of like they are members of the family. I HIGHLY recommend Long Beach Pet Care for your pet needs; you -- and your fur babies -- will not be disappointed.

Mihail is wonderful, plain and simple. We consider him a member of the family and know our dog is completely safe and well-cared for when with him, and that's priceless!

Very dependable in the two times I've hired this service. The communication is prompt and consistent. I'm able to trust them with my pets and to enter my home. I would recommend as a good option for people in the Long Beach area.

They really care! Like you take your pet here and they will do a great job!

Our pet sitter for almost 7 years.

Barbie and her team at Superstar Petsitter was a wonderful find for me and my neighborhood of dogs. Her sitters go above and beyond and give the fur babies so much love that I wonder if they like our petsitter more. They are capable, easygoing and stick to my rules for my pups. I highly recommend her team any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Superstar Pet Sitting has been my trusted and reliable catsitter for the past four years. Barbie and her staff treat my babies like their own, and I love the care and attention they provide. Sometimes I think the cats like Barbie more than me! They send photos and texts during sessions, and always go above and beyond. My house is always left in a perfect condition with happy pets when I return. Highly recommend.

Barbie and her team have been wonderful sitters for our senior dog who has many needs, and our cat who has a big personality. We had a bad experience with a previous sitter and were nervous about leaving our senior dog with another sitter, but Barbie and her team have provided reliable and professional service and a loving and caring environment that made us feel secure about leaving our pets in their hands. They are especially attentive to our dog's special requirements, ensuring he is comfortable and well-cared for at all times. They also keep us updated with photos and notes about how our fur babies were doing while were gone. If you're looking for someone who will care for your pets as much as you do, look no further than this fantastic team!

Barbie is fantastic!! I always feel secure in leaving my furry kid, Jasmine the cat, in her care. I hate to leave her, but I feel secure knowing she is in capable and loving hands. Barbie is super reliable. She provides punctual updates with pics, videos and notes at each visit. I would highly recommend her and her business to anyone in need of pet care. And Jasmine thinks so, too 😊

Superstar dog walkers have reliably and consistently walked my dog, given her food, water, and lots of love and attention for over a year. Barbie is easy to work with. I can text her with instructions and leave a reminder note for the dog walker. Highly recommend Superstar for your pets' care.

Superstar Pet Sitting has provided reliable and loving care to my 2 cats for about 5 years now and take great care of them in our absence. They feed and water them, clean their litter box and provide photos of our cats at each visit. I trust my cats are safe and in good loving hands with Superstar Pet Sitting!

Barbie was always available when we needed her help with our cat. She took care of her, made her happy and provided regular updates with pictures and videos, which was very reassuring. Highly recommended her services.

Barbie and her staff have been looking after our cats for around 7 years and she has been dependable and caring to them, even at times with short notice. It's always hard to be away from a pet for extended periods of time but Superstar pet sitting has given us peace of mind when away.

I have used Superstar Pet Sitting (and Walking) for many months and I’ve been very impressed for the following reasons: 1. It’s so easy to see how much my fur baby loves her walker. She’s a small dog, but she manages to wag her entire body when she sees her walker. 2. I’ve watched my dog’s walker interact with her. She so good with my girl. You can see how much she likes what she does with fur babies. 3. My dog’s walker is extremely reliable. She comes on time and on the scheduled days. In addition, she is very flexible. The few times I’ve requested a change in time, she’s always made it happen. 4. Barbie, the owner, runs a very organized business. She sends you a bill for the week on Thursdays. You pay via PayPal, Venmo, etc. before 7:00 on Friday. She sends you the following week’s schedule over the weekend. She’s got an upbeat personality and you can tell she loves pets and running her business. I highly recommend Superstar Pet Sitting (Pet Walking). It gives you peace of mind knowing that the pet you love is being cared for by wonderful people. You can’t go wrong in trusting Barbie and her pet care givers. P.S. My dog won’t let her walker get away until she gives her a treat! (Picture below)

We’ve used Superstar Pet Sitting for years now for our aggressively friendly house cat, Meeko. We love knowing that Meeko gets all the care and attention she craves when we’re off on vacation. Barbie, the owner, sets up all scheduling and was even the one to do the care one week when the team member we usually use didn’t happen to be available. Barbie always sends over photos and a brief report of the visit which gives us peace of mind. It’s hard to get comfortable with strangers in your home while you’re away and we’re grateful to have found such a trustworthy company that we can use over and over again

5 Stars for Sitting Pretty and Ashley! I have been taking my two year old Malshi here since he was a puppy on the recommendation of my trainer. I couldn't be happier. Ashley cares so much about her dogs. Her staff goes beyond the call of duty to meet every pup's needs. Thank you Ashley and everyone at Sitting Pretty!

We LOVE Sitting Pretty!! I have entrusted my last 4 dogs (aka my babies!) to their care when we are out of town and for day care every so often. I can leave them with peace to know how wonderfully they are cared for. And my dogs have the best times there with all their "friends!" In fact, my little guy is going for a play date today - when we are a few blocks away he knows & gets so excited!! I highly recommend Sitting Pretty!!!

Love this place, it is big and the staff is friendly. I’ve been having a lot of work done at home and this is a great place for my doggies to hang out.

Ashley is passionate about what she does. I recommend her services. Your dogs will feel like they never left home!

Ashley and her staff are the best!! I always know that my Lexi is loved and cared for.

Awesome daycare. Ashley is the best. Really cares about the dogs in her care and treats them like family!

Ashley is just amazing and such a sweetheart! She takes such amazing care of the pups in her possession.

Ashley handles my handful of a dog like a true artist. We love everything about this place!

I am very comfortable leaving my fur baby with Ashley and her awesome team. I couldn't do it without them.

Ashley and team are fabulous. My Blu cant wait to get thru the entryway.

It had only been 5 weeks since adopting our rescue, Sophie - our little bundle of nerves. Sadly, we had to leave town for 4 nights. I was beyond anxious about leaving Sophie, especially with a stranger. I am SO grateful we found Judy! Judy was incredibly informative about how to work with an anxious dog, offering tips that we have adopted in our day to day outings. After the first update with pictures came through, my mind was set at ease. I knew we picked the right person for our Sophie. <3 And now, after spending only 4 days with Judy, we can definitely tell Sophie warmed up to the world a little. She doesn't seem as anxious as she did before we left. We're so thankful. <3 We are so happy we found Judy. <3

I am delighted to share my positive experience with Judy, our amazing dog walker. From the moment we hired her, it has been a truly wonderful journey for our little Chanel. First and foremost, Judy's professionalism and dedication are unmatched. She consistently arrives on time ready to take Chanel on her adventures. Judy’s punctuality and reliability gives us peace of mind, knowing that our beloved pet is in good hands. Not only is Judy reliable, but she also shows genuine love and care for our dog. Whether it's a leisurely stroll or an energetic run, Judy tailors each walk to suit our dog's energy levels and ensures she has a great time. Beyond the exceptional care Judy provides, she keeps us updated with regular communication. We receive details and photos after each walk, including information about the route, duration, and any noteworthy behaviors. It's reassuring to be informed about our dog's daily activities and know that she is in capable hands. In summary, I highly recommend Judy to anyone in need of reliable and caring pet services. Her professionalism, love for animals, and commitment to safety make her an outstanding choice for any dog owner. Our dog has truly found a friend and companion in our dog walker, and we are grateful for the exceptional care she provides.

I am thrilled to have found Judy! Finding care for my very reactive dog can be so stressful, but working with Judy has been only positive. She has been patient and kind and totally willing to go at my dog’s pace as they have gotten to know each other. Big, big thank you’s from us both!

Judy is amazing. My husband and I travel regularly and are unable to take our dog, Alfie, with us. Alfie can be aggressive towards new people, so finding a dog sitter has been a nightmare for us until we found Judy. She is our saviour. Not only does she train Alfie, but she also stays at our home overnight to help ease the stress for Alfie. I can't recommend her enough. Alfie has made great progress and has become very fond of Judy, something we have never experienced with other dog trainers. She sends picture and video updates whilst we’re away and helps us continue the training once she leaves. She is incredible where lucky to have you Judy 🩷

Judy is an excellent trainer and has made a huge difference in our lives as pet parents. Plus, our dog loves her! Highly recommend.

Judy has been so amazing for us and our dog Remi! We have a mini australian shepherd who has boundless energy and is fearful when meeting new dogs. Working on his socialization and leash reactivity was huge for us. Judy has given us great training advice from the start and we have seen significant changes in his behavior by implementing it. We are now able to put him in situations we never dreamed we could in the past and are planning on moving into more extensive training sessions with her! Judy always provides photo/video updates as well as a detailed description of how the walk went. She has additionally gone out of her way to give Remi exposure to meeting new dogs and seeing new places, which we appreciate so much. She has always been on time and very flexible when we are in need of a last-minute walk. We know Remi is in great hands with Judy and trust her completely. I highly recommend Judy to anyone and everyone!

For me and my pup, training and walking is about a lot more then just getting exercise or learning a new trick. It’s about the energy, the vibes. Judy has incredible energy and I honestly felt it was a treat for my pup every chance he got to be with her. 100% recommend.

I would highly recommend Judy. We used her to walk our dog and stop by on house visits and we only have positive things to say about her. She was timely, very responsive, and took great care of our dog. Our dog was thrilled anytime she came to take her out.

Best sitter we could have asked for! Judy took care of our two dogs for 2 weeks and for the whole time we were gone she sent daily pictures and updates on how our dogs were doing! With boarding facilities being crazy expensive I would say that Judy had the best experience and value I’ve found around and we will definitely be repeat customers. Can’t thank you Judy enough for the wonderful care she gave to our dogs while we were away. I would absolutely recommend Judy’s Dog Care to anyone in need of a really experienced and caring dog sitter.

Judy is simply THE BEST!!! We are so grateful to have found her. She has changed the life of our loving rescue pup Lucky. She is an excellent dog walker, dog sitter, trainer, and makes delicious doggie treats! You can tell how much she loves dogs from the moment you meet her. We have seen so much improvement since working with her. She has turned our fearful, reactive rescue into a confident, spunky, joyful pup! Cannot recommend Judy enough!!

I do not know where to start... since joining Melissa's Mutt Hutt earlier last year, Melissa and her team were very welcoming and made it know they were excited for me to join them. Everyone is very helpful, training was informative, which lead to me never feeling uncomfortable branching on my own. I have had been lucky to work with great clients and their pups. I mainly board dogs in my home, and they are all well trained and have not had any issues. You should feel 100 percent comfortable having MMH take care of any of your pets!

We have been working with Melissa's Mutt Hutt for the past 6 months for daily walks and last minute boarding at a walker's house when away for the weekend. They are very responsive communicating through the app or via email/text when last minute and send wonderful updates. I can tell from the way they welcome my pet when they come to pick her up that these people are genuine dog lovers and passionate about the work they do.

Since working with Melissa’s Mutt Hutt for almost 1 year, I have shared so much love and joy with these pets. I have been thoroughly trained with each of my accounts so that I can confidently carry out walks and visits independently while clients carry on with their work, vacations or other plans as they arise. We use a brand new app that allows clients to communicate with us, schedule appointments, and share the cutest pics of their fur babies! I treat the time I spend with my dogs and cats as more than a job because I know how precious they are to their humans. It’s more like a hangout, and I often wish we could extend our time together.

I can’t stress how much I love this business. I’ve used them for both walks and sitting for my two dogs and they are just over and above fantastic every time. Really like the sitter Kaia we had last time.

After working for two years with another dog walking/pet sitting company, we moved out of their normal area of service, and had to find pet care on short notice. With a shy and anxious dog who is nervous of strangers and sometimes reactive to other dogs on leash, finding a trusted dog walker is no easy task. I found MMH on Yelp and gave them a call. Melissa called me back within 24 hours, and Sarah came out that week to meet me and my dog and assured me that Allison would be able to take care of our pup. As we still had a few walks scheduled with our previous walker, they even coordinated a time for Allison to join our old walker on one of their last visits and help our dog adjust to the change. Allison is amazing, and we are so lucky to have found her! She took the time to get to know and build trust with our dog. Our dog loves her, she sends the best photos and updates after each visit, and she really goes above and beyond to keep us informed of any concerns. We’ve worked with lots of great dog walkers over the years, but she is the best when it comes to communication. We have regularly scheduled weekly walking, but MMH has also always been able to accommodate our one-off requests. This is one of the benefits of working with a larger company. If we need a one-off walk, and Allison isn’t available, MMH has always been able to find someone, and Allison regularly introduces our dog to other walkers so that there are multiple people who can fill in when needed. We’ve also used MMH for overnight, in-home care, and again, MMH has always been able to accommodate our requests and we’ve had positive experiences with all the walkers/sitters so far.

Melissa's Mutt Hutt & Cat Shack has been serving the beloved four legged family members of the South Bay area since 2004 and it is of little surprise. From top to bottom, each member of this team is passionate about providing the highest level of service and care. It has been my experience that the management team goes out of their way to make sure that each client is well informed about fees, policies, and services. They return messages in a reasonable amount of time and make sure that any and all concerns or questions are thoroughly addressed. The staff are all carefully selected, vetted, and trained to provide the highest level of care while maintaining safe handling practices. The attention taken to ensure each staff member is trained to handle any situation they may be confronted with while caring for a family's fur babies is extraordinary. Their devotion to animals and advocacy to provide a gold standard for care is apparent in every aspect of this business; from the management team and staff, to the range of care that is provided. This is a phenomenal group of people. I highly recommend using their services.

I will start by saying I rarely take the time to write a review unless I feel it's necessary or worthy. Melissa's Mutt Hutt is absolutely worthy of 5 stars!!!!! As so many of us feel, our fur babies are family members so trusting anyone else to care for them can be difficult. From my first meeting with Melissa I knew my dog would be in the best of hands. She is so passionate about what she does and is professional, educated, and CARES. She treats my dog like her own! I have used both her dog walking and boarding services and what a gift it is to feel my girl is in completely responsible hands. With each day comes daily photos, thorough notes and communication, and LOTS of love! If you are looking for a dog walker or boarding care, I sincerely recommend this service!

My review is primarily for the management team consisting of Melissa, Elise, and Jackie (note the boarders have been largely good). My concerns with this business can be summed up as: lack of fee transparency/moving goal posts and terrible communication. I recently relocated to the area and my anxious senior pups were exhibiting signs of aggression towards one another, which I disclosed to the team ahead of our first boarding appt. Fortunately, both boarding visits went well and the second boarder raved about how sweet and calm both dogs were throughout the visit, with only some minor growling one time. Fees: Upon booking my first boarding appt, the management team added $10 per day for medical administration (for longer stays, this would amount to a day or more of total fees). I contacted them to understand why it was being added as I've never had such a fee in all the years I've been working with professional boarders, and their meds simply get mixed in with their food and there's never been a problem with them not eating it. I was told it was "industry standard" and because of the extra effort required. I reluctantly agreed but soon learned it is not industry standard (all 6 of the local boarding businesses I contacted do not charge such a fee), and this felt disingenuous. I recently made a number of additional bookings, with two bookings in march separated by 2.5 days, and without my approval, they added two additional days of dog boarding to connect the two visits. I requested an adjustment to the booking thinking it was an honest mistake, only to receive a very condescending email from management telling me in the future they would automatically book additional days if stays were not separated by 2+ days because "its in the dog's best interest", "the dogs don't eat and won't take their meds", "it causes more behavioral problems", etc... none of which were issues that my dogs have had under their care that have been reported to me or under the care of other boarders. I contacted management again to understand why their contract terms were changing and again was met with the same condescending attitude of "we've been caring for animals for XX years, we know better than you do." Communication: There have been several instances of what I would describe as clunky (at best), if not altogether unprofessional and frankly disrespectful communication by the entire management team, including Melissa herself who decided to start insulting me over the phone when I pushed back on the new 2+ days stay separation requirement. They claim their med fees are industry standard, and they know that's not true. Maybe some other boarders do it, but don't tell your customers something is industry standard when you know it's not just so they'll be ok with it. If you push back on anything with them, they'll immediately become defensive and dismissive, speaking to you like you have no idea how to care for your dogs - citing potential risks and issues that have not otherwise been noted or are issues at all. And if you persist and continue advocating for yourself as a customer, good luck, you'll be met with all manner of excuse making about why things are your fault and even likely get the owner herself insulting you over the phone. I've never had the misfortune of working with a management team like this, so I will gladly be taking my business elsewhere. 1/3/24 Update: There's Melissa's response. Not surprised at all and won't take the time to point out the multiple lies and inconsistencies (I have receipts) or her not addressing key concerns I outlined and instead resorting to insults and personal attacks... again. Ask yourself if that's the kind of business you want to support. I personally won't and hope anyone who does business with them doesn't have service issues because this is the person you'll get to try to resolve them with. Also note that many of the 5 star reviews here are from her employees and not customers, including several that were left since I left my review to inflate their scores. Again not surprised.

I've been working with Melissa's Mutt Hutt for 3+ years now for my 2 dogs. I couldn't ask for a more dependable, trustworthy, personalized and flexible company -- all things that are important for someone like me that travels a great deal for work. As a new client, Melissa will come to your house, meet your dogs, and ask detailed questions about them. She'll then work to make sure your dogs are 'matched' with a great Mutt-Hutter. There have been many instances where I have last minute travel -- and Melissa is always very accommodating. And when I travel I don't think twice because I know that she and her wonderful group of Mutt-Hutters will treat my dogs as they would their own -- so I never have to be worried. In addition to boarding services, my dogs are also walked multiple times a week -- which means I get a detailed note about how the dogs did on their walk when I get home from work! I treat my dogs like children -- so I mean it when I say that Melissa's Mutt Hutt has been wonderful and I won't think of anyone else to watch and walk my dogs!

Melissa's Mutt Hutt is the best. Melissa only walks one or two dogs at once. She believes in personalized care for the dog. She accommodates last minute petsits when you wanna leave town for a few days. I have been a dog walker/sitter for over 2 years. I have the best and the easiest and the happiest dogs ever. They are such a treat. Her prices are competitive and she is very reliable. Come rain or shine, we will take care of your pets

Our experience with WAG was awesome. Agent explained all the options and services which made us feel confident in becoming a member. On the first visit for our dog Compton he had fun. They provide pictures of activities during the stay and you can sign up with the convenience app. The staff is welcoming, friendly, professional and very caring. Thank you so much for your exceptional customer service. We boarded Compton for 4 days while we were out of town everyday Wag sent us a picture and updates about the awesome time he was having in all day play. We also had him groomed it was just a wonderful experience he’s so energetic and excited when we return for pick up. We appreciate the entire staff for being so caring and dedicated to him and all the other family pets. See you soon !!!!

This place is probably a little more an expensive than other boarding places, but the service is so worth it! The staff is very friendly, pics were sent everyday of my pups, and just overall a great experience. I think my two pups were quite happy. To the staff, Mortimer and Maya say thank you.

Wag Hotel is a wonderful place for my dogs. They love going and the staff is top notch. Very thorough about our dogs care. You can tell they love what they do. I always appreciate the check ins and photos. I know my babies are in good hands and I can enjoy my vacation knowing they are well care for. Thank you Wag staff in Carson CA!

My dog used to go to the Doggie daycare in Gardena, but I needed to find the Doggie Daycare, which is closed to my home. Anyway, I was searching on the Google website, and I found the Wag Hotels in Carson, CA. They had the promotion that my dog could try for 2days free. I made an appointment for the trial. Then, I took my dog to the Wag Hotel. When we arrived there, it was a big building which was like a real hotel. And it was next to the 405 Freeway. Also, they had a huge parking lot, so I didn't have problems finding the parking space. When I entered the Wag Hotel, It was just like a regular hotel. They had a big lobby, which was displayed with all kinds of dog supplies and the Halloween decorations. And the reception area, they had a nice couch and they offered the coffee & tea beverages for the pet parents. They offered three types of daycare to meet the needs of your dog. All day play plus, day stay & one -one-one. Also, they offered special care for the dog and had behavioral or medical reason. Then, they offered the boarding service, too. They open 24-hour a day. Erin, who was a manager, helped me with the registration. She was very friendly, professional, and attentive. She recommended that my dog should try the half day one-on-one care, which was 5 hours of daycare. The daycare rate was $31.00, which was a really good price. One- on- One care was for a dog who wanted to stay in the room, and the staff was taking care of the dog. Your dog could order special treats from your own room. Just like the regular room services. Also, your dog could have various activities. This was really interesting dog daycare. My dog was not a social butterfly, so one-on-one was the perfect care for him. Anyway, I went to take care of my business, and I came back to the hotel to pick up my dog. My dog was excited to see me. He seemed that he had a good time. They said that my dog did well at the hotel. I was glad that he did well. If you are a pet parent, I would like to recommend the Wag Hotel for your dog. This dog daycare is inexpensive, has nice dog daycare, and is closed to the 405 freeway. And they would take good care of your dog and treat your dog like a VIP!!! Also they have excellent customer service too. services for your dog.

This place is wonderful. I have taken my Bulldog here for a year and a half now, with stays as long as two weeks. He is dog aggressive and is very strong so I worried about finding him a safe and secure place to stay when I'm out of town. Their Special Care program is top notch and I get the best Pet Memories sent to me while he's there. I just dropped him off today and I've already received 4 updates! Can't thank Wag Carson enough!

So grateful to the WAG hotel Carson staff. My family member had an unexpected emergency hospitalization and I was able to drop my fur baby off last minute. The staff, as always took great care of her, but also graciously allowed me to extend her stay on a day by day basis as needed. I appreciate the flexibility of 24h drop off and pick up availability. Would definitely recommend WAG foe any pet care needs. In addition, they have a great groomer Tiffany who does really cute cuts!

Murphy LOVES the Wag Hotel in Carson. The second we pull into the parking lot his tail wags and he tries to get out of the car ASAP. The staff is wonderful especially Erin and Michelle. They’re always kind and helpful. You receive 1-2 pics a day letting you know your pet is in good hands. You can also log into their live camera if you want. At the end of the day when I pick Murphy up he’s tired from all the fun he has. It really puts my mind at ease knowing he’s in good care. I’ve tried other options, like Rover, and even though this is about a 20 min drive for me each way it’s well worth it!

Our dog loves the Wags hotel. She has a great time there and is so exhausted by the time she gets home because she's just running around all day having a great time. The perk of this place is we can also watch them on the live cam. Staff is amazing when you call for updates.

Wag is a fantastic brand and this location is wonderful! I’ve had my pup at one in NorCal, Denver and others and this one tops the list! They were accommodating (she was there for 10+ days and I needed to ship extra Rx food to them and did so smoothly!), kind, dependable and even ended the stay with a full report card! The daily photos are the best!

Took my dog to Wag for the first time to daycare. I was anxious because she had never been to daycare. We went ahead and checked out the place a few days ahead. Michelle and Crystal were so warm and friendly and answered all our questions and concerns. Most of all they were very reassuring. My dog's daycare went very well and I was very pleased . I will continue to take her there. The place is well organized and clean. I observed all the pet owners walking in and out seemed very happy. Thank you Southbay Wag Staff!
