Laura and Marcelo were very caring and we had great communication :) My dog needed to get some medication while I was away and they followed the regimen as requested. They left the house clean and tidy. They were quick to respond and sent me pictures of my pet when i missed him. I hope to see them again sometime!
Don and Gloria took wonderful care of our cat Dora and of our home. They sent us frequent photos of our contented kitty, who warmed to her catsitters surprisingly quickly (normally a shy thing). They are a friendly, warm and responsible couple whom we trusted from our first meeting. They treated our home with respect and left it as they found it, possibly better! We were touched on our return by the flowers on the table, fresh fruit in the bowl and breakfast goodies in the fridge. We'd highly recommend them and would be happy to have them sit for us again. Dora would be too. :~)

Edit: We have been using wonder dog over two years on a weekly basis. The owners are very kind and really look out for our dogs. They put our social terrier mix into playgroups with similar energy dogs so that he has a ton of fun and they also pamper our shy husky mix with her own private space. Both dogs are always very excited for a stay at wonder dog. Original review: This place is AMAZING! My puppy Bernie has been going for daycare about once a week for a few months now. He has separation anxiety, but they are so good to him there and he absolutely loves it. As soon as they open the door he rushes in ready to play and he comes home happy and tired.
Great experience! My pup and I were both grateful for the mandatory evaluation process. This truly made my boy more comfortable and less anxious when it was time for his weekend stay. He at almost all his food which is my number one clue weather or not he is comfortable somewhere.. he came back a little stinky but to be expected at a cage less boarding facility. After a quick bath, he snoozed the day away clearly tired from playing with his doggie friends.
My dog Maggie and I love Wonder Dog Ranch! When I know I'll have an especially long day at work or whenever I go out of town, this is Maggie's happy place. There is plenty of room for the dogs to run and play, and they also have a lounge area for the dogs with couches and a TV, just like home. Drop off and pick up is quick and easy since they're so close to the freeway and train station. Maggie always comes home tired and happy. The staff is excellent. The dogs get constant attention under their care and I feel like they treat every dog there as if it were their own. Additionally, they generously open their doors to everyone and keep area dogs every time there is a local evacuation, and they do a lot of work in support of our local pet food bank too. Good people. I won’t leave my fur child with anyone else.
Wonder Dog Ranch truly cares for your pets like a member of their own family! We can whole heartedly say we endorse Wonder Dog through our experience over the past 3 visits in 4 months. Our dog had special needs and Kevin did all the things we asked and more. We are so glad to have found them when we needed a trustworthy place for our dog to stay.
Really zero stars. It’s in a warehouse and I was not allowed inside to check it out. I was traveling and working 4 days in LA did paperwork for dogs on line. So I’d arranged it all and had no backup place so for 4 days I reluctantly brought my 2 dogs there. Got in an argument with owner last day he was extremely belligerent and will never ever take my dogs there again. They survived but very stressed and very thirsty. DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOGS HERE.
This is a great place to leave your doggies when away. The owner and her husband are very kind. They love animals and enjoy doing what they do. I really like the "free roam" layout of this place because the doggies are not placed in "solitary confinement" kennels, unless they don't get along with other dogs. There is also a small living room set up to simulate the feel of being in a real home. Overall great place to leave your pet and I trust them because my Labrador has never gotten injured staying here.
This place looks horrible from the outside. (Read more, trust me) Then you walk in and the place does not look so bad. Then you get a tour and you realize you pup might like it here. And then you hear the price and you realize, you are going to be just like me and drop you pup off here often. And I love my pup.
Our rescued small dog was timid and fearful. With the guidance of Kevin and Brenda his personality came out of his shell. He is now fearless, thinks he's Alpha and loves to run and play ball. He is well socialized. We have him go to the Ranch to exercise at least two if not three times per week. He is always happy to go there and after longer stays is still happy to return. With the careful screening of each dog this environment is the best place I can think of for a dog home away from home!
The owners are real dog lovers, and are careful about making sure all dogs are healthy and well-behaved. Dogs have a large group play area and also smaller kennels, and a home-like area with couches. I've never left my dogs in any dare care type place before, but this one I'm comfortable with. I was worried my dogs would feel abandoned, but when I came to pick them up, tails were wagging, and were they were happy to interact with one of the owners, Brenda, and not rushing to leave.
Kevin and Brenda have rescued our family from our rescue. We love our doggy, but he does not love visitors. Luckily he has a home away at the Wonder Dog Ranch when we're out of town, or entertaining guests...and several times a week when our schedules are hectic. Luckily our dog Oslo loves it there too!
They have a kind heart toward you dog. Always great food and give them a good walking.
Taryn is the best!!! She's extremely flexible and easy to work with. Very communicative and always gives me updates throughout the day. My dog loves his long walks with her and my kitties always get plenty of treats and love from her too. 🥰 …
Taryn, Monrovia Pet Nanny is fantastic as my kitty sitter. She responds quickly, is highly reliable and trustworthy! It's obvious she loves caring for our beloved fur companions.
Taryn is wonderful, you can trust your fur babies with her! She walks our golden retrievers three times a day and sends photos when we’re out of town. She’s reasonably priced and reliable. Definitely recommend working with her!
Taryn offers very caring good care…I have a shy little rescue dog that Taryn won over & made friends with. Taryn followed my instructions exactly, gave me daily updates & photos. She is very trustworthy. Pricing is better than boarding & I definitely will use her again!
We love Taryn! She’s simply the most caring, compassionate and trustworthy sitter and walker. We are so glad she cares for our pups and cats. She walks our pups and cares for our cats when we are away and we are always in the know how things are going. I highly recommend Taryn with your furbabies.
Taryn dropped by our house every other day to take care of our cat while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter, she’s trustworthy, caring & kept in communication by text to update us of how our cat was doing. It really put our minds at ease while we were away and she also brought in our mail and packages too, which is amazing! I would definitely hire her again and will be recommending her to all my friends & family! ;)
Taryn is a fantastic pet sitter. I have used her on multiple occasions, from long vacations to short business trips. She takes great care of my many pets at my home and, if needed will handle the mail pickup and other small household chores. I completely trust her with my pets and my home. She is the best!
Taryn is fantastic! We are new to the area and I’m so grateful that I found her for taking care of our cat, Pigeon. Taryn is responsible, reliable and has a very calm demeanor. As soon as she came to visit Pigeon I felt calm too! It’s always a reassuring feeling to know that your pet is well taken care of- Taryn made that happen. Thank you so much!
Taryn is a true animal lover. My older dog was comfortable with her immediately. She is accountable and responsible. I always felt confident she was take care of my dog.
We’re so glad to have met Taryn. We’re very pleased with her services. You can tell she’s well versed with dogs. She helped us watch our Aussie while we were abroad, even handled a pickup from grooming apt. It warmed our hearts when she went beyond what was contracted. We’ll definitely be working with her again in the future.
