This is the 3rd time we’ve had the absolute pleasure of having April sit for us. She is far and away Pina’s favorite sitter. She’s a great communicator, clean, quiet, respectful, and treats our home (and Pina) as if they are her own. With April watching Pina we can travel worry free, knowing that she is in great company. We always come home to a clean house and a very happy, healthy cat. If you are lucky enough to have April apply to sit at your home, accept it right away, you will not be disappointed.
Really good experience there in Cambridge. The house is nice with a large bedroom and en-suite bathroom. I enjoyed the garden too. Good location, easy to reach Cambridge with the bus. Milo is really easy-going, he behaved well during my stay and he was friendly to my dog. I recommend.
I really enjoyed this sit! Carole was easy to communicate with and made me feel welcome. She was available for any questions I had during the sit. I felt very comfortable in her home. The location was perfect to explore Vancouver. Everything is walkable. Cyrus is an adorable dog, very rewarding, loves cuddles and slow gentle walks. Purelli is a sweet independent cat. He loves cuddles and games and is easy to care for. I miss them already. A great sit!
Minding sweet Otzi for Ann and Michel was a very lovely sit. They were so welcoming and very generous, picking me up from the station and cooking a delicious meal as we chatted and they showed me around their home. They are fascinating people so we had great conversations. Their just renovated old village house is gorgeous, with a courtyard, high ceilings, seaview and picking up the breeze in summer when I was there. Being at the top on the town there were lovely walks for Otzi just outside. I really recommend housesitting for them if you’re ever lucky enough. I would happily return if our dates match.
Charlie is a cute cat, loves his food and head & cheek rubs. He smoothly comes into the room, rolls over playing with the flip flops and even sits in your lap. He has a sweet temper, he’s independent and easy to look after. We had a great time house sitting for Catherine and John, they are formidable hosts, so kind and friendly. We’re grateful to have had the chance to meet them and Charlie! Their home is beautiful and welcoming, we loved being there. Highly recommend the sit!

Isla (my Mini-Labradoodle) has been going to Camp Puppies since she was 6 months old and I couldn't be more grateful to have someone as amazing as Kacy as Isla's second mom. When we moved to the South Bay from San Luis Obispo, we didn't find a good fit with any of the local kennels and knew that our Isla needed more personalized attention, exercise, and love. I stumbled upon Camp Puppies on Google, and couldn't be happier that Kacy was willing to take Isla into the pack. Through working with Kacy during weekly walks and occasional overnights, Isla has become a more confident and social little lady. She always comes home super tired and I always know how much fun she had from the photos and videos sent by Kacy. I literally could never trust anyone else with my precious Isla and wouldn't leave the South Bay because of how great Kacy and Camp Puppies is! Thank you Kacy!!!
Our sweet, senior pug is treated like a tiny prince at Camp Puppies! Kacy truly loves every pup she works with as if they were her own. She is attentive, thoughtful, and gives **all** the love there is to give towards each and every dog in her care. Camp Puppies is reflective of Kacy’s genuine care for her clients and her commitment to making sure CP is a delightful experience for both dog and human.
We absolutely love Kacy, can't say enough good things about her and our dogs feel the same way! Kacy takes our dogs on great long walks often to exciting and new places nearby, which they love. If you are in the South Bay you need to use Kacy and Camp Puppies for all your dog walking and boarding needs.
We love Camp Puppies! I’ve sent my pup to Chrissy for plenty of long weekends, and even sent her to Puppies while I spent time abroad. I always receive plenty of pictures and updates so I know my pup is in great hands. Chrissy genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she is watching, and I have and will recommend her to friends again in the future.
If I could give 10 stars, I would! Chrissy is a godsend! We were introduced to Chrissy by accident by a neighbor who absolutely raved about her dog walker. We had always wanted to get a dog walker for our dog but have trust issues and never took the plunge. After our neighbor expressed her adoration and trust for Chrissy, we reached out and met with her and decided to give her a chance. We couldn't be more happy with our choice and are so grateful she LOVES what she does because it benefits us all! She is organized and flexible, which is very much appreciated. She has a great personality and a kind heart. My dog loves her and looks forward to his outings with Chrissy and the pack. She sends and posts pictures of our pup when they're out on their adventures and sends you updates when she's planning to arrive and after she drops off your pup. Couldn't be more happy with our experiences thus far and are happy to continue working with Chrissy! Camp Puppies is a legit business (licensed and bonded) that can be trusted. I highly recommend you reach out and take advantage of Chrissy's wonderful talents and services! Thank you, Chrissy and Camp Puppies, for all that you do!
Kacy has been the best bud and walker for our wiggly, reactive pitbull Lola. She also walks our dog Radar who is a shelter doggo that is still learning not to pull. Kacy takes them on long walks and trips to fun parks that they look forward to each week. Our whole family loves Kacy! <3
Kacy is a second mommy to my fur baby-she has taken such great care of our dog on walks while we work and also for overnights when we go out of town. You can tell how much she genuinely loves the dogs and I know that mine is in the best hands with her. So glad I found Camp Puppies. Thanks Kacy!!
My family LOVES camp puppies. My two dogs get to vacation when we vacation :) Chrissy takes such great care of them and always keeps us up to speed with adorable pics and messages. She is flexible and accommodating, trustworthy and reliable but most importantly FUN and LOVING!!!!!
Camp Puppies is absolutely the best. My dog, Winston absolutely adores Chrissy. Chrissy treats all her pups like her own. You know your pup is in great hands with the many photos you receive as well as an amazing Instagram page @camppuppies. 5 out of 5 stars. I would give more if I could! I love Camp Puppies! She's dependable and trustworthy. If you're looking for a place for your pup, this is it!
Camp Puppies is the Best!! We have used their services for years and are so happy every time. Our dog Larry absolutely loves all his friends he meets through camp puppies and always has excellent walks. No Better walkers or dog sitters in the South Bay!
Excellent service and care provided to my 15 year old cat. I had never boarded her before so I was nervous about dropping her off. The care and service offered was beyond expectations. Thank you for the kindness and grace when handling my cat.
Very happy with the care and attention our older Shih Tzu received during a 10-day stay. She's never boarded with anyone other than her vet, so we were concerned about having to change things up due to scheduling conflicts. The vet highly recommended ESPR and our happy dog today at pick-up says it all. The staff were communicative and friendly throughout, and gave me ample info on her progress after her first day and at the conclusion of her stay. Highly recommend!
I had a last-minute out-of-state job and needed a place to leave my dog. Kylie walked me through the process of making an appointment on their website, and she was very patient. They welcomed me and took good care of my dog, providing me with daily updates. I highly recommend this place for your animals.
Wonderful place with excellent service. Nice staff, clean, caring. They provide a happy and loving environment for cats & dogs. Very responsible and helpful. The rooms are furnished like a mini-home and they have a lot of worthwhile extra services, like photos and updates on your pets while they stay. It's expensive but staff is excellent and very caring. Great grooming & vaccine services too, make things very easy.
took my dog bella to stay for about 5 days while traveling. i was anxious as i was taking my other dog and they had never been separated for long. Bella had a great time and seemed to enjoy the extra attention. seemed to be very happy and when i picked her up she looked exactly as i had dropped. still very white and clean. Staff is very friendly!
I boarded my cat here in January, and I highly recommend them. Their facility is very clean, the staff were extremely helpful, and committed to providing my cat optimal care while I was away. Thank you!
We have been so happy with the wonderful service and care our kitties have received at El Segundo. They make the effort to check in on and give attention to our five cats. I cannot recommend this place enough. Thanks guys for being so good to our babies!
Called to find out specifics for boarding conditions for my dog prior to him being shipped overseas and was met with a total lack of professionalism. I was asking questions like size of kennel, number of walks per day, if there is staff onsite after-hours in case of emergency, whether I can visit my dog during the day and spend time with him since I am at local hotel. The office person kept referring to the pet transporter and refused to answer basic questions. Only meant to better understand how my dog would be treated. After the fourth question, she hung up on me. Would not take my return call since they can see my number. Think very hard if you are thinking of boarding here. My dog is a family member and this is only the first social media posting I am making in the hopes of saving other pet owners the stress of an incompetent facility.
Spectacular job on my big girls nails. Husky wasn't wet...nice and fluffy and smelled good. I had some questions and my girl was happy to try to go back in. Now THAT impresses me. She is very submissive and they didn't terrify her like a groomer did at another place. Yeppers....she's MY pet.....and she gave 2 paws up!
They truly love animals. They are taking excellent care of my babies prior to moving to New Zealand. Plenty of room and actual attention from the staff. Very pleased. Also, they have taken it upon themselves to care for an abandon puppy, Bella the American bulldog shown in the picture. She needs a home! Please help #GetBellaAHome
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.
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!
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 has been providing her services to my dog, Max for about 3 years now and I trust her with him completely. He is the most important thing in the world to me so it was imperative to find someone I could trust to treat him as their own when I am out of town. I am never out of the loop as to how Max is doing and always get plenty of pictures and videos, which keeps my mind at ease so I can be present wherever I am. She and her staff are extremely knowledgeable and provide a quality service that makes you feel like you are their only client. I am eternally grateful for Melissa's Mutt Hutt!
I don't even own a dog, but, I know Melissa personally, and after watching her with some pets at her home recently (and with homeless kids at a Christmas party she organized for them!), I had to write a review. I've seen Melissa's standards of what treating a living thing with care and kindness is, and I can assure you, they are at the highest level. One does not meet a person like her, with the heart that she has, and the actions to back it up, every day. In short, I would trust her with anything that is important to me and highly recommend her.
We love Melissa's Mutt hutt! Everything from the ease and convenience of pick up/drop off at our house, to the cute pictures that they send while we are on vacation shows how much they care about our dog and taking the best possible care of him. Couldn't recommend them more and won't use anybody else when we need someone to take care of our dog
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)
I am so happy I found Barbie and team. We have a rescue cat that tends to be very nervous when we travel. Barbie and team definitely put us at ease checking in on Walter and sending updates and pictures through their app. They are reliable, kind and love cats and I know when I need to use their services, I’m always in great hands.
Leslie is great with my puppy! He really loves daycare in her yard, which offers a good amount of space for running and fetching toys. I'm glad that I found someone who can give him the attention he needs, because he has so much energy and is very affectionate. Her doggy daycare services are great, and she takes any sized dog which is really helpful. She has also overnighted him before, he's a big dog, and she had enough space for his crate overnight. All the services that 2 Paws Up Pet Care are great, and I've been a repeat customer for the last year!
Went out of town and had my pup and cat looked after while we were out. We got photos and felt very happy with the service. My pets were loved well while we were out. Best service and communication was great!
Leslie has taken care of two of our dogs - one an elderly guy and a younger puppy. She has been amazing with both and we trust her whole heartedly. We’ve used her for both daily dog walking and overnights.
Leslie is the best ! She was recommended to us and we haven't looked back . We've had kobe stay overnight usually a few times a year. We had a initial consultation where she asked me what services I was looking for and we took it from there. She sends videos and photos during the stay...so you're always aware of how you're pet is doing. She's essentially ..." peace of mind ".
I have known Leslie for 13 years. The care & attention she gives to all of her clients is extraordinary. She offers great flexibility in having animals in her home as well as coming to pets’ homes. She is a fit walker and knows all the best spots to take dogs to get their energy out!
Leslie takes excellent care of both of our two pups - each with very different needs. One is a "genetic anomaly" and the other is a cancer patient. They are each a little high-maintenance in their own ways. They both enjoy spending time with her, and the other friends they get to play with when they are there. We can tell just by all the tail-wagging when we pull up to the house. We are quite selective with who can watch our girls - and have tried many options - Leslie is far and away atop of that very short list. "10-out-of-10, highly recommend."
My favorite cat of all time (and I'm a cat lover), Rocky, loved 2PawsUp Pet Care! Normally, when I get back from a trip, he greets me with a loud "Where the hell have you been?" meow. This time, when I picked him up at Leslie's, he barely noticed me; he was completely content. This was my first experience there because I am from out of town (my scheduled care couldn't do it, and I was leaving from LAX for a trip etc...). Anyway, Rocky, apparently, got the royal treatment boarding with Leslie. He got brushed, enjoyed some catnip and looked like he ate quite well. I would definitely recommend 2Paws Up to any cat lover!
I am thrilled to write a glowing review for Leslie, owner of 2PawsUp. She has been an absolute gem when it comes to taking care of my two cats, Betty White and Bela. Her responsibility, kindness, and genuine love for animals shine through in every interaction. From the moment I met her, i knew my cats were in good hands. I had a very ill cat at that time and she didn’t flinch at giving multiple meds. She treats my “girls” as if they were her own. Her updates and photos during her visits give me peace of mind, knowing they are safe, loved, and having a great time. I highly recommend Leslie to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate pet care professional. I am grateful to have found her!
Leslie has taken care of my dog Orisa multiple times and she is incredible. Highly recommended. She is very knowledgeable about pet care.
We used 2PawsUp and Leslie to take care of our cat Gabby for 8 days recently while we went out of town. We are delighted with their services. In the past we have hired Catsitters who spend about 5 minutes putting food out and cleaning the litter box and then gone. No attempts to engage with our cat. Leslie (and Diane) were the opposite. They spent 30-40 minutes here always seeking out Gabby and spending time with her. We were worried she might prefer Leslie and Diane to us when we got home! Also they took care of minor household chores like taking in the mail and putting out the trash bins. We are really excited to find a Catsitter who takes pride in making sure our cat is happy and well cared for. Five stars. 2PawsUp is our permanent cat care solution!
I’m very particular about who watches my golden retriever girly. GD was totally the right choice. I have been taking her for daycare when I have to work long days, and boarding when I’m out of town or have a late night at a concert, etc. The facility is cage-free even with boarding and they are with a human 24/7. I have so much peace knowing that she’s always in the best care. They post lots of pictures on instagram too, so you can how much FUN your furry friend is having. I feel like I’m dropping my dog off at recess every time and I’m lowkey jealous. You also have the option to have them groomed before pick up (for an extra charge) so that they aren’t super smelly after playing so much. All around so happy I have a place for my pup.
Grateful Dogs has been a lifesaver for my nervous rescue. She used to be afraid of everyone would wait for me by the gate when she first started. Now “daycare” is her favorite word. She has become so much more social, both with people and other dogs and I give so much credit to Grateful Dogs and their wonderful staff for their patience and love for that progress. I also love that they are crate-free for overnights, a huge must for my dog who loves to snuggle at night and was traumatized by a crate. I highly recommend them to anyone.
Cannot say enough good things about Grateful Dogs Clubhouse. My big boy Winter gets so excited on arrival and loves this place 🐻❄️ …
I love it I love it I love it! I have trusted GD with my dogs for years. No cages no kennels and they truly care for your pets. The staff are all wonderful people who love dogs and always go above and beyond. If you overnight your dog there, your pet will sleep in a room …with a human! Any special feeding instructions… not a problem. Medications, not a problem. They truly do it all and I appreciate the entire staff.
They are the best, best, best. Took care of my GSD throughout her life, made special accommodations for her when she was disabled. Cannot say enough good things about them. Their care for her for almost 10 years was just amazing.
Grateful dogs is a great daycare. Shortly after I dropped my pup off at Grateful dogs, the staff immediately noticed he wasn't feeling well. They brought my dog out of circulation as to protect the other pups and himself. They worked with me and communicated often until I could arrange for an early pick up. The experience was highly professional and I was/am extremely appreciative that they took such precaution to protect the health of the rest of dogs at daycare as well as my sick pup. This facility is highly professional, knowledgable, and caring of the dogs. Highly recommend!
If you haven't been here for the tour nothing i say will convince you like the staff there will. So patient with all the dogs, the facility is great, no cages or crates. Plan ahead if you are thinking of using the service as your dog will need to do a trial. We are always happy with the staff and service!
The best! We’ve been bringing our dog to Grateful Dogs for both daycare and overnight boarding for close to 8 years. He loves it!
In general an ok place, but I agree with several reviews of this place that it feels sometimes like a cold business-finance + rules first environment. It took a lot of energy but I managed to develop a personable relationship with a few folks that work at the front, which made it better. Unfortunately, the owners don't seem to have a "customer first" attitude when discussing scenarios that might be out of the ordinary for your pet. They don't interact with customers a lot it seems (surprising for a service industry). Long-term customer satisfaction and business excellence are not all on their top goal list - seem to be about the bottom line only. Would recommend to folks just needing some place to keep their dog and don't where else to go, but not to the family that wants the best place for their dog and for their money long term. We've been going to Grateful Dogs for years but now we stopped. We think there are better Dog Day places in the South Bay that have both the overall business quality, long-term customer approach, as well as the day-to-day staff friendliness.
Picked up my fiance from work here. She loves her coworkers and all the pups she works with, talks about a different set each day. I worked here temporarily as well, so I bear witness when I say that your pup will have a great time here. More than enough socialization with other dogs, tentivness from staff, and consideration for down time once your pup gets exhausted or overwhelmed. Dogs thrive here :)
Shari (and her crew when extremely booked ) have been taking care of my 2 fur babies for almost 4 years! She is the most amazing human and my cats absolutely adore her! I have never felt so safe leaving my animals with someone, I can not praise this company more! 12/10
Amazing! Shari was excellent - very communicative, great with the cats, and super friendly/accommodating! One of my two cats is super picky, and I usually get a message from pet sitters in the past saying they couldn't find him, but with Shari, that was completely different - he was happy with her right away and even came out to play whenever she stopped by. You care a lot for your animals and want to make sure you're leaving them with someone who can be trusted and knows how to look after them; look no further than Westside Pet Sitters! I wholeheartedly endorse them, and they will be my go-to pet sitters moving forward. Thank you, Shari!
Shari is the absolute best! I was lucky enough to find her when I moved to LA and am now limiting my house search to her service radius because she is just that fabulous. She is reliable, honest, and most importantly one of my cats' favorite people. She spends time playing with them each visit, gives me updates on their well-being, and sends the most adorable photos. I cannot recommend Shari/Westside Pet Sitters enough!
Westside Pet Sitters has been taking care of my cat Henry every time I go out of town. It's a local service and they knew my apartment and neighborhood from taking care of previous pet owners. Shari is great and did a quick interview to get acquainted with me and Henry, and then does in-house visits which is great for Henry. Email and SMS both work for booking appointments, and she sends pictures every day while I'm gone.
The BEST pet sitters! Shari has watched my cats for years now. They love her! Shari is very responsive - always returning my calls and texts ASAP. She's also very reliable. I fully trust her to take care of my cats and to administer their medication when needed. If you need a great pet sitter, I highly recommend contacting Westside Pet Sitters!
Shari has been walking my greyhound 4 times a week for several months now and she takes such great care of him. I can see how much she actually cares for all of the animals, and he obviously loves her too. She has been an amazing dog walker and I'm always recommending her to all my friends. She is always on time and very responsive. I get a nice text after each walk to show my boy's well taken care of.
Shari is the best pet sitter I've ever had, and I highly recommend her business. Shari is very professional, trustworthy and most importantly, she genuinely cares for my furry creature. It's a joy to receive photos of my cat cuddling up next to her while being away. It's never easy to leave the fluffy one at home, but Shari definitely helps me feel relaxed. I can never thank her enough for her exceptional services.
Shari and her crew have been caring for our cats for almost 6 years now. I can’t say enough about how professional she is, how much she loves our fur babies, and how much I trust her with all my heart when my husband and I have to go out of town! Our oldest cat is fairly prickly and is on critical meds twice a day, but Shari always gives him the best care and is so sweet and loving. She always gives us picture updates and even takes extra steps like asking if we want the AC left on if it’s a hot day. Shari is always very responsive to our texts or calls. I sometimes hear from her within minutes! Her prices are very reasonable considering her thoroughness. I wholeheartedly recommend Westside Pet Sitters to everyone!
We have been using Westside Pet Sitters 4-5x/week for over 2 years since we adopted our dog and have absolutely loved our experience! Shari is always super communicative, able to accommodate last minute walk requests, and is a delight to work with. Our dog has some leash reactivity and can be a handful to walk, but Shari and her team have always been so sweet with him and have used the same training methods we use, so I've always felt very well aligned with them. It seems that they all truly love animals and understand them. From our experience shopping around prior to choosing Westside, we found their prices to be on par with other local services, but got a much faster, warmer response from Shari and have used her ever since!
Shari takes great care of my kitties when I go away. She sends me pictures of them daily which are great to get; I don’t worry about them when I can see they are well cared for. Her rates are cheap. She is very dependable. I recommend her highly.
Ever since we moved back to LA, Down Dog Lodge has been a favorite place to go for our pup, Rufus. The staffs take such good care of him and they are all genuine dog lovers. He is constantly playing with other dogs when I peep at DDL’s instagram account. I also really appreciate how strict they are about the temperament test to make sure all dogs they accept are well mannered as we have definitely experienced some annoying but could-become-dangerous encounters at the dog parks in the past. We used to send our second dog, Luna, who passed away unexpectedly during a surgery. During such a difficult time, the entire DDL staffs wrote a card for her even though they met her only 2-3 times. Yes, the place can be a bit pricey but it’s totally worth it!
DDL is huge with tons of clean running around space for dogs . The front desk is staffed with loving, kind and caring people . Our 6 month Goldendoodle loves and gets super excited in the car when we are turning into the parking lot and He comes home exhausted . There are many cute and well behaved dogs at DDL .
We love DDL. Our sweet Charly not only has a safe and fun place to play, but a second family. As busy working parents Down Dog Lodge is an essential part of Charlys team. The staff is warm, flexible and always happy to see our boy! Highly recommend this amazing place.
We love Down Dog for our puppy. We had a great experience with the 2 step temperament test and with using the Gingr app for scheduling reservations. Our boy seems to love it and is happy to enter their door. So happy to have found our local spot for him!Not only is it local to our town of El Segundo, but the people there are great with him. Booking through the app has been very convenient. I do wish we get more photos in real time while he is there because we miss our boy! We can tell he loves going there and he always comes back tired and happy because he plays so much with all the other dogs. Thanks for everything!
We've had a fantastic experience with Down Dog Lodge! Both Alfie and Belli have received exceptional care, and the staff's dedication and attention to detail are evident. We appreciate the regular updates and the warm, welcoming environment they provide for our pets. Highly recommend DDL to any pet owner looking for a reliable and loving place for their furry friends!
As a first time dog owner I'm very protective and particular about what type of establishment I entrust with my dogs care. And this place has been amazing! Extremely communicative and thorough regarding the new client process and very happy to answer the list of questions I had. My Goldendoodle rescue is 58 lbs but he was a little timid and scared with the other big dogs so they let him hang with the littles! I so appreciate that because I'm convinced he's a shy 10 lb pup in a large dog body. They were very on top of reading his comfort level and made the appropriate accommodations for him. The campus is VERY clean, modern and highly organized. I feel a great sense of relief that I have found a place that I can trust with my special dude. I can not wait to take Bogart back!
Down Dog Lodge has been the best place to send our dog Bruce! Every single employee here genuinely loves and cares for each dog (including their owners). They do a temperament test for each dog so they can ensure a happy and healthy play environment. They provide other services on site like teeth cleaning, grooming, and training which makes it very convenient for our busy life. Brucey and I both love Down Dog and would highly recommend this wonderful place for your dogs care.
We’ve been taking our two pups to DDL for well over one year and they absolutely love it there! It’s so great catching a glimpse of them romping around with their friends through the DDL insta stories. The staff:pup ratio is amazing and they truly receive plenty of attention. The pick up/drop off hours are pretty good and they’re flexible with off-hour accommodations for a fee. Definitely the place to go with if you live in the South Bay.
I'm so glad that this place was recommended to me by another dog mom. Sancho (see photos) is so excited everytime he gets dropped off, and so happy when he gets picked up (and exhausted from all the playtime). It gives both of us a good break where I get to work without distraction and he gets all the playtime and attention he wants from the amazing staff. I also love that they have training center onsite that if there was something I wanted to him to learn more of then I can hire an experienced professional to train while he is there. We love DDL.
We’ve really grown attached to DDL ever since we got our husky. He always comes back home exhausted and makes new friends every time. We love this spot!
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!
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!
Easy to book, reliable and trustworthy. So happy to have found Ally McPets after our previous pet sitter started not showing up for scheduled visits. Whenever we travel, I have no doubt my kitty will be well cared for. Jill is great and I would highly recommend her to anyone!
I really enjoy working with Jill and her team. They take great care of my two cats. They always show up when scheduled, which is a big stress reliever. They take care of everything - feeding, litter, water, love and play. And even take in the mail and packages and water the plants. Jill even saved my kitties life when they she had swallowed a long length of paracord! Jill notifies me of what's going on, and sends cute pictures. I'll definitely keep using Ally McPets.
My dog loved staying here! I was travelling through the area and needed to leave my dog somewhere for a few hours. After being rejected by two nearby places that require a multi-day "orientation" process, Howie's was the only one able to accommodate us on short notice (as long as we provided the proper vaccination records). The staff was very caring towards the dog, and were able to calm her down and help her get acclimated to staying with other dogs. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to support a local business & know that your dog is safe and well cared for.
Howies has taken care of my dogs for years! My pup loves playing at Howie’s all day & then he comes home happy & exhausted! The staff are great! Thank you Tony for taking such great care of my pup! (All 99 lbs of him)! 😎 …
Every morning, my pup patiently sits by the door as I get ready for work, knowing she's going to get to go to day care. She's very energetic, and gets extremely happy when I drop her off. She's well taken care of by an excellent staff, and she has plenty of room to run around (average of 9 miles) everyday inside the building. Highly recommend!!
***Howie's Doggie Day Care does not accept Staffordshire Terriers, Pit mixes, Rottweilers or Akitas. Crucial information that is completely absent from their website.*** Though I disagree with their decision to prohibit certain breeds from the facility, it's their business and the owner, Tony Morales, can run it how he sees fit. However, I have a huge issue with my time and money being wasted after I went out of my way to adhere to his requirements for admission, which it turns out aren't even accurate! I went back and reviewed the website to make sure I wasn't going crazy and nowhere does it state that they don't accept certain breeds. Not in the acceptance of terms. Not on the home page. Not even on the eligibility page! How is it that such a crucial piece of information is completely omitted? Not only that, but they have a pit mix pictured in their web banner! I also had a detailed conversation about the vaccination requirements during which they never questioned me about the breed of my dog. If they don't accept certain breeds, why not ascertain this information from potential clients so as not to waste their time? I went to the vet this morning at 7:30 am in order to get the vaccination that they require for admission. Even though my vet recommends my dog receive this only once a year, the doggie day care said he has to get Bortedella every 6 months. My dog is 9 years old and the last thing I want to do is pump his body full of drugs he doesn't need. Once I arrived at Howie's for the meet & greet, Tony revealed to me that he doesn't accept Staffie-Pit mixes and his "apology" was unsatisfactory to say the least, especially after having wasted my time and money. And my poor dog left feeling rejected. Sniffle, sniffle. I've requested that the owner update his site and other company communications to reflect his breed restrictions. I'd hate for another person to have to go through such an ordeal just to provide their dog with a boarding option.
I’m very disappointed with Howies. The phone number listed is out of service. I have sent them an email as well as filling out their contact info & have never gotten a response. Has this happened to anyone else?
Great people and my dog loves it there!!!
