Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn! I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20. She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person. She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well. My cats took to her quickly. When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before. While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc. She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose. I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her again!
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 20$ per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
My puppy had a fantastic time. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and they made sure my pup felt right at home. They even went the extra mile to let me have the later pick up. I highly recommend Uptown Pup to anyone looking for a safe and fun place for their furry friend.
There are places you can drop your dog off all over LA and you will find the same basic amenities. But at Uptown you get that and something that other places don’t offer. Genuine care and love for your furry friend. My pup is always nervous meeting new people, so when she met the many workers, it was stunning to see her transform from being shy to wagging her tail feverishly when she sees them. Long day at the office? They will feed your pup at their regularly scheduled feeding time and have a fridge for perishable food. Love this place. The best value are the daycare packages and I highly recommend the baths here too! Look you can drop your pup anywhere but if you wanna feel confident and have a tired pup returned to you this is the place to go. (Check their insta to see their daily stories of the pups having a fun time)
We love Uptown Pup for our dog, Pan. Really friendly staff (both in front and back) and our pup is always excited to head there in the morning. Have had success both boarding and for day care. Highly recommended! As an aside- I saw one bad review talking about their dog always getting Time Outs - Ours does too sometimes, but he's a growing puppy and needs them to learn how to behave and play well! If you are walking in and seeing your dog getting TOs, it says more about you as a dog owner not taking the time to socialize your dog than it does the puppy daycare spot. Be glad you have a daycare place that respects the dogs enough to help condition them.
My Obi is pretty hyper and loves everyone here. This is the only daycare he likes. I love that he has other friendly pitbull friends to play with. No discriminations here!
I'm a small business owner who spends a lot of time out in the field training technicians, my dog is a Tibetan mastiff that needs attention while I'm away, Uptown Pup is efficient & most of all I know they are great because my dog is excited to go in when we pull up! Highly recommended!
Uptown Pup is the greatest boarding and doggy daycare facility I have ever had the privilege of using! I 100% recommend them! Also, when it comes to dog boarding and daycare, they have the best facility and customer service in LA! They always go above and beyond and take excellent care of my two pups, Esther and Boy! Boy takes medication twice daily and has some other health issues that need attention. Not only do they take great care of Boy but Uptown Pup has all of his information saved in their system, which makes drop off SO much easier. They also make traveling much easier for me because I never have to worry about Esther and Boy when I am out of town because I know that they're in the very best hands! Thank you Uptown Pup!
I've been regularly bringing my dog here for over a year now. Whether it is a play day or a week of overnight boarding, my dog is STOKED to be dropped off. He also comes home happy and tired. Every employee has been so kind and makes me smile on a consistent basis. I highly recommend Uptown Pup to any and all dog owners.
This place has been the second family of our 2 dogo argentinos. They have watched them grow up and because of them our dogs have incredible social skills. After over a year the dogs still run up to the front doors like a kid on Christmas morning . The staff is very caring and aware of dog behavior. The slightest change in their mood and the staff checks in with us to see if everything is OK. Highly recommend uptown pup even if you don't need a daycare, the social benefits alone is worth taking your dog to them.
My pup loves this place, she’s always excited to see them and is always happy to play. No webcam but they do update on instagram, and there is a loading zone right in front where you can drop off/pick up your pup easily. They have been lifesavers with my busy lifestyle, and they also have been very sweet and nice with any questions I have. Best daycare hands down. Also, never overcrowded unlike other daycares, so I always leave with her smelling good in comparison to other overcrowded daycares where she ends up smelling horrible. She has never gotten sick from this daycare, whereas at the past daycare she got kennel cough because of the extreme amount of dogs there. I would DIE for this daycare, and this daycare has done so much for me that it has earned my eternal loyalty for as long as I live in Los Angeles.
Uptown Pup is the place to board your dog if you want to have great people take care of your dog while you are out of town at a very reasonable price. They even bought food for mine when they ran out of the food I had provided. Great place!
My dog, Emmie, has been going to OHD for daycare for about 9 months now. I have enrolled her in the day school training program for probably the last 3 months. I have seen a huge improvement in Emmie since she has started at OHD (and especially since starting day school) and know that she'll only continue to get better manners over time. She is always excited to get inside and I know she's in the best care in their hands. Thanks OHD!
We love this place! I can barely get my rescue to leave the house (she sees the lease and crates herself) but when I manage to coax her out, after a not so fun car ride, she freaks out when she sees where she's going. Their day school program is perfect for her as she needs both mental and physical stimulation. Thank you OHD!
The Team at OHD is absolutely the best!! They create the cutest videos and have a variety of services that we utilize every time we leave town. Our 13 yr old Rottie loves his interactions with all the dogs, his open play time and cuddles with the OHD Team. The love, attention and care they show our Atticus is why he 'bids me a fond and fast farewell' whenever he is lucky enough to spend time with this exceptional crew. There are tons of locations in So Cal that offer 'dog boarding and day care' but they simply pale in comparison. We commute over an hour to get to OHD and wouldn't go anywhere else!
I took my shy dog to OHD in 2022 bc they were known to be good with timid dogs. However, he didn't pass the initial test because "he didn't sit," which I found perplexing. He does know the command, but it's understandable he wouldn’t obey a stranger in a new place. It felt like they didn’t give him time to warm up, instead labeling him as needing extra training. They suggested a different program for him that didn’t start until later in the year, and I was advised to work on his training in the meantime. I chose another daycare instead, explaining his initial nervousness before our first meeting. They reassured me it was normal, and he's done great there since. The OHD facility seemed nice, and I believe they genuinely care about the dogs, but they may not be ideal for those needing extra time to adjust. I understand wanting the right fit to ensure safety, but in my case, their approach felt a bit too stringent. Feels a bit weird to review them since he never attended, but wanted to post this in case it’s helpful to others whose dogs have a similar temperament. 4 stars bc they seemed nice and I don’t want to mess with their rating.
I am beyond grateful to have came across OHD! My 2 year old pug is very anxious and nervous around other dogs off leash and reactive on leash. When I took her to OHD during her evaluation I was recommended a transition program for Nala and I had never heard of that at any other daycare. She did 8 sessions and on her own felt more confident with other doggies around her. Didn't think she would come around as I had tried many things. I would receive a report card after every session of her progress and pictures once a week. OHD has been a blessing and now when I drop her off for regular daycare I feel at ease she is in great hands. She recently had an overnight and the next morning I received an update on how she did and I was so glad she did great. I highly recommend giving OHD family a try
Been a customer since it opened with my first pup and OHD always went above and beyond in her care, especially in her senior years. We now bring our new pups here for boarding and daycare. There's nowhere or noone else in LA I'd trust their care and safety with. Just the best!
My shy girl Nala is starting to gain confidence and my wild puppy Max helps her out in day school. I love this place so much for my fur babies. They have the best time!!
My cattle dog mix, Marcus LaBarcus, loves spending time here. Seeing him get excited as I drop him off makes me feel so much better whenever I have to travel for work. He comes back happy and tired, proving once and for all that it is in fact possible to wear out an ACD. Cannot recco this spot enough.
Oh hello dog provides exceptional service. During the time they care for and love our dog, they have always been professional and responsible. The staff show great interest in engaging and playing with the dogs, always ensuring they have a safe and enjoyable time. OHD provides a clean and comfortable environment, offering all the attention and love that dogs need. Additionally, the staff regularly provide us with updates on our dog's well-being and activities, allowing us to work with peace of mind. I highly recommend this daycare and consider it a trustworthy place to leave fur baby.
* THE REVIEWS ARE REAL* About a month ago I decided to bring my pup to Oh Hello! She’s been home being spoiled for the last year so she wasn’t the most socialized puppy! The staff here took time to help her become more social and now she wants to play with every dog she encounters. I recently need to go out of town for business and needing boarding (they called it a sleepover 😂😂) not only did they keep me updated with everything going on the even catered to her diva eating habits (she’s very spoiled and won’t eat if it’s not what she wants). I know she loves Oh Hello because once we turn on the street to get there she jumps up and starts doing that cute dog wiggle the dogs do when they are happy! P.S. Most of the staff here drive Subarus and we all know Subaru owners love dogs!
Ollie has been attending Dog Drop Hollywood for almost a year! He loves going to hangout with his best friends! I love how well they communicate. They update you throughout the day with pictures. No other daycare can beat them.
I can't express how much I love Dogdrop Arts District. They treat my dog so well. They update me throughout the day and send pictures. Everyone there is very nice and Deebo loves them. They also have cute events almost every month like photoshoots, giveaways, painting and more. I highly recommend this doggy daycare.
I never think to leave google reviews, but I love Dogdrop!! Somehow every employee knew my dogs name after our first visit and they enthusiastically greet him at the door every time. Definitely the cleanest dog daycare we’ve been to, and by far the friendliest staff! I love that they engage with the dogs all day with games/puzzles/treats and plan fun weekly activities. Ducky always has a great time!
Our puppy Katsu was a complete scardy dog when we first brought him home. Dog Drop was his very first daycare experience. The staff there has always been so wonderful, responsive and accommodating. The 1 week free trial of daycare has helped our puppy move from scardy dog to a confident playmate. Now Katsu thrives in social situations! Katsu is excited when he sees the door of dogdrop because he knows he has a fun filled day ahead. We love the staff. We love the activities they plan. We love the (very professional) photos and updates they provide us. Most importantly our dog loves Dogdrop too. A really cool part that separates them from other daycares is the hourly rate option too! We like to use that on days we just need to tire our pup out as well. Thank you dog Drop for the good experiences . Update: they're the only spot that supports a nurse schedule staying open late!
I started bringing my puppy to dog drop after she was ready with all of her shots. From the first day—the good fit test—the staff was friendly and communicative about how she was adjusting, whether she was socializing, etc. They also send pictures and keep in touch throughout the day. I would definitely recommend bringing your dog here :)
Like most others, my husband and I got our puppy Lucy during the pandemic in 2020. Although we both work from home, we knew we would need a doggie daycare option for busy days or when we couldn’t keep an eye on her all the time. We’ve been taking Lucy to Dogdrop for over a year now and we love it, but more importantly Lucy LOVES it too. She lights up every time she walks through the door and it’s so comforting to know she’s being cared for by such friendly staff. Love how convenient it is too and that the staff provides you with updates and cute pics when Lucy is there. Dogdrop also hosts the best events outside of daycare, we cannot rave enough about this place
Dogdrop is awesome! They have friendly droperators who take care of my pup and send me updates on how he's doing. They hold a lot of events and have weekly activities to build your dog's skills. Location is so convenient to DTLA! So if you're going out for a drink or a bite to be social, you can let yout dog socialize at dogdrop too!
Hello, I just popped into Dogdrop this week and feel compelled to write a review! I have had dogs my whole life and have seen a lot of dog “day care” centers, and just cannot say enough about Dogdrop. The people are super friendly and knowledgeable. The place is new and appears to have been custom built for the sole purpose of providing state of the art dog care. The doggie play areas are very clean – and since they appear to have been made from state of the art “easy-to-clean” materials, I imagine they will stay that way! Here are a few other things that really stood out: ** flexible hours, late hours. The membership structure is flexible and Dogdrop stays open much later than most other places. Both are really great ideas, especially for people with hectic schedules or unpredictable dog watching needs. **not just “day care” -- sophisticated dog handling techniques. The technician, Orlando, is plainly a veteran trainer. And instead of just letting the dogs do whatever they want, it appears that Orlando gives them each short training intervals. What a great thing for any dog! My dog was engaged, enjoyed the day, and was good and properly tired that night!
My dog and I both love Dogdrop!! The daycare is awesome, cooper is always tired in the best way when he gets picked up and he seems more relaxed after getting his energy out. I’ve also noticed he is less shy and scared around other dogs now!! Awesome staff and great experiences so far. I also love their paw wipes. Cooper is a white golden doodle and his paws always get dirty, these are awesome to have in the car , my bag everywhere just in case! I have a big box at home but the individual ones are awesome for pups who often get dirty. And I can’t forget their awesome poop bags!! Doing my part for the planet with compostable bags. 😚
If I could leave more than five stars, I would! Dogdrop has been an absolute godsend with my quarantine puppy. Safe, clean, reliable, caring, and AWESOME all around. In terms of pet care, Dogdrop is incredible - I'm really picky about where I leave my dog Leo. The facility is super clean, I always feel like he's very safe, and they're really reliable. Plus, I can also tell how much he loves it - he RUNS to the door when we pull up! The whole team is incredibly sweet to my pup. They pay close attention to his behavior and always update me with photos and texts, and have even noticed him being better behaved around other dogs in the course of his time there. I know for a fact that he's never come home with a bute or injury. As human customer service goes, they're kind, attentive, and responsive via phone or text- special shoutout to Alex and the whole crew for their amazing work with the pups. One last thing I want to share is that no matter what time I go to pick up my dog, I never hear scared whining or crying in the back. There's just some playful barking, and one or two staffers are ALWAYS back there keeping a close eye on everyone. Leo is happy to show up and happy (and exhausted!) when we leave- we're gonna be lifelong customers :)
Happy Heart Pet Care and TEAM!!!! Is there any other substitute? I don’t think so!!! When it comes to my Pixie girl, I have a very difficult time trusting. Happy Heart put all of my concerns to ease. They are always accommodating and able to watch my little girl, even at the last minute. I highly recommend giving them a try, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Anna Marie
I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful Anna Marie is with our pup, Lucy. She’s extremely knowledgeable about how to care for dogs, flexible with my timings, and just an overall pleasure to talk to. We recently picked Lucy up from a 16-day stay, and not once over that period was I worried about how she was doing. Anna Marie went above and beyond - she sent frequent photos and videos, brushed her out daily, worked on commands, and even took it into her own hands to figure out what food Lucy needed when she was being a picky eater. To tell you that I was such at ease knowing she was in Anna Marie’s care is an understatement. I am so grateful to have found her and Happy Heart Pet Care. Don’t think twice about booking your pet here!
I am an EXTREMELY over protective Dog Mom to my 5 yo French Bull Dog Brodie. I have been searching for a dog sitter and trainer for him as long as I can remember, but I’ve never been satisfied leaving my fur baby until I found Happy Heart Pet Care. I will say I love to spoil my boy and only the best will do, however, this also meant he got away with a lot more behavioral wise then he should. So I needed to find someone knowledgeable that I could trust with my boy… I haven’t been able to find someone reliable that not only had the experience to help train Brodie, but that I felt comfortable trusting to care for him. Anna Marie checks all the boxes. She not only has helped with Brodie’s training, but I trust her to care for him as if he was her own. She is truly our dog nanny! Brodie loves Anna Marie and he has become such a better behaved boy since he was introduced to her training and care. Having a person who not only will train your dog, but love them the way you would is priceless. He respects her and she has a great relationship with my boy teaching him with obedience training and socialization. All the dogs she cares for are very well behaved so he has her pack to learn from as well. She also is a great resource for a number of suggestions and advice with regard to your pets health and well being. She is always the first person I call or text to ask any questions with regard to his health or needs, which is invaluable. She is one of the most kind and understanding people I’ve met in LA and I have no doubt I would ever find someone who cares or loves Brodie more as a trainer or dog nanny than her. Needless to say I highly recommend Happy Heart Pet Care. Your life will be easier with your dog if you use her, trust me!
So grateful to have found Happy Heart Pet Care--they are the best! I have an adopted pound dog who is super skittish (and bark-y) with new people and for the past 4+ years, has not been comfortable with other dogs. She LOVES Anna-Marie and Matthew and, after just three visits, she is already changing in wonderful ways--less skittish with new people and excited to play with other dogs, which I never thought possible. Anna-Marie is incredibly kind and accommodating, thoughtful about introducing new dogs to their environment, and thoughtful of skittish human owners, sending them photos of their happy dogs. I contacted them because of the consistently amazing Yelp reviews (a rare thing), without realizing they're on the west side of LA. My dog and I are way on the east side, but still travel there because knowing my pup is safe and happy with people she loves and who genuinely care is worth everything.
Matthew and Anna Marie are both so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about dogs. Their love for our 9week old Darcy is so heartwarming! I certainly had my concern leaving a young puppy with other people for a week, but Matthew and Anna Marie stayed very communicative. They also helped me on getting to know/adjust for a puppy. I could see Darcy was so well cared for through photos/detailed text updates. Truly appreciate their existence 💙
Anna-Marie took care of my 1 year old shih tzu puppy, Tater Tot, for almost 3 weeks while we were away. She was wonderful as she was very flexible with drop off/pick up times, and gave Tater Tot lots of love but also trained him! Tater is much more calm and well behaved now! He was brushed everyday, made many new dog friends, and enjoyed his walks. Anna-Marie updated us with cute photos and videos of him and we can’t wait to have him back with her again!
Where do I start? So thankful for Matt and Anna Maria. Matt has been a life saver with behavior modification with my sweet girl Cocoa. Cocoa is a hyper-vigilant rescue pit, with a few social challenges. Matt not only was able to with patience and professionalism, earn her trust, and help with her behaviors, he was also able to teach me, ways to manage when she and I are in the wild. He is very hands on, and teaches key fundamentals when handling a dog, and working with the world around them. I literally on multiple occasions have been able to handle situations without panic and stress due to Matt’s training. Cocoa also has been managing her stress better as well. You are equipped with the knowledge literally after just one session, the most rewarding thing is seeing the transformation in Cocoa. She has come such a long way. Happy Heart Pet Care has been a blessing. I highly recommend. 10 out of 10!
I highly recommend this company not just as a dog trainer but for all your pet care needs. They do training, dog sitting, walking, and even cat sitting. They are highly experienced and had my aggressive rescue dog showing improvement after just a few sessions! I’ve also used their services when traveling. They send updates on the pup and make sure he is very well taken care of. Highly recommend them!!
We found Anna Marie on Yelp and trusted the good reviews she had- it was the first time we left our puppy with someone she didn't know and in another city. We loved Anna the first moment we met her, she was super kind, and you could tell she had a lot of knowledge and experience with dogs. We saw our puppy liked her from the very beginning and felt safe with her- we left her one full day and, when we picked her up, she was super happy and looked like Anna took great care of her. I highly recommend her; she is amazing!
Matthew & Anna Marie are fantastic! They started working with my bullmastiff puppy December 1, 2023 and my puppy has grown into such a wonderful, friendly, obedient dog with the kindness & training from Happy Heart Pet Care. I trust them 100% and my pup loves the time he gets to spend with them. Many thanks to them for all the support & help. Sam
She’s really good at her job. She loves all the dogs as if they where her own. She is also so humble and nice. Book her !!!
I like this place, and would still recommend it. It is very unique because of their activities and indoor outdoor place. Very large space, good communication as far as what is going on during the day activity wise. Everyone here seems great with all the varieties of dogs that visit. I don't have concerns over care, overall, nor do I feel like there is anything to hide or any sort of questionaboe care provided, which is the most important thing of all. If you are the type to want to see video that's an option too, it does cut off at a certain time which is understandable from a security perspective. This is unique as well. The location and brand uses Ginger app, which has some issues with the website, but that is not at fault for the daycare, and the daycare is quick to assist and help if you give them a call. My only issue has been with the not so friendly pickup calls (towards the end of the night specifically). I will not disclose the name of the individual here, but owner/manager, please reach out. Photos are proof of calls and messages sent out where I had to call to verify hours because I was told by this same employee that they wanted to, "wrap it up". Messages are copied and pasted and this employee is in the business of turning away clients for personal gains. I was told I needed to pick up by 8:30 on November 8 and wouldn't be able to pick up after that. Then yesterday the story changed. Please get rid of this employee. I feel I've been ripped off as well now looking back on it. Really uninviting having to deal with this person. Your hours say until 9, so at 8 I do not want to be harassed to give a specific minute of exactly when I will pick up my dog. I will pick up my dog prior to 9. I understand phones go on night mode. 9 is 9, not 8:05 8:15. 8:20. I often cannot even answer my phone until just before pickup, so DO NOT call me and tell me I NEED to give you an exact time, only so you can literally turn the light off before I'm even out the small gate. This is not a reminder call, this is harassing your customers. This has twice now been a very demeaning and demanding call. One time I can somewhat understand as everyone has their off days and sometimes things are not said over the phone well. I paid for my time, so don't try to force me to hurry so you can go home early or rest yourself. Not a one off thing, same person both times. Not at all friendly, not even during pickup is this individual friendly. If employees try to "wrap things up" by harassing your customers and making up your own rules then you need to issue a refund for my stays,and this should be explained and disclosed online. I take my dog here because I am not available, but know I will be able to get him by pickup time, or because I want and need a break to do things, unfortunately I was forced to arrive early to please your employee. If I have any doubt I would plan accordingly for overnight and reach out. I want to leave 5 stars, but a business that harasses customers and violates their own policy to the point of stealing time, making customers anxious is a definite loss of star.
Buscemi always has the BEST time whenever he comes for play and to stay - treated like royalty, just like he expects to be 🐶 Couldn’t be happier with the reception my little guy got at South Park Doggie - Playland (DTLA). He’s already excited to come back for more, and I fully trust this team with his well-being and care. My highest recommendation for others considering a place for your dogs to be treated like gods!
We love you for how much you love our dog. She loves going and that makes us so happy! She has boarded here twice and goes to daycare here regularly. Everyone knows her and are super friendly. They gave us a really detailed report card for her boarding and I know they pay attention because everything they said is true. We would highly recommend daycare or boarding here!
I’ve been using South Park Doggie for boarding and daycare for my German shepherd Angelina and I couldn’t be more satisfied with their services. Angie always has the time of her life and my favorite part is being able to check in on her on the live cams while I’m traveling. Five stars!
We use this place all the time and our little guy dodger loves it! We used to do daycare when we lived in DTLA, but even now that we moved to Long Beach we still use it for boarding because we know dodger will have a great time! He usually runs in without looking back and you can't beat the amount of tired a good doggy day care gets you 😅
My puppy loves this place! She’s been going here for over a month and she is always excited to go hangout at South Park Doggie Daycare! My next step is to have her do her training here especially since she’s already use to all the people here. The staff here seem to really love dogs! She’s my first puppy so I’m one of those can you teach me what to do first timers with everything so it’s great to be able to get advice from dog lovers! If you are considering bringing your dog here the answer is “YES”
Such a great place for the pups. They do daily activities, take pictures and give you report cards. You can feel that the staff ACTUALLY cares about the dogs, shot out to Marc and Liz, as they always take care of our girl. You can feel safe dropping your 4 legged baby here.
It was his first time at a boarding facility and I really appreciated the care and friendliness of the staff. The report card was very detailed and on target (and they had suggestions as to how to proceed) and the live video feed was a nice touch
This place is amazing! My baby Nanako loves here! Everyday when she wakes up she wants to come 😄. She is happy, being taken good care of and having fun, this is the most important thing. Best daycare ever! …
Ivey loves her day care ! She goes to the one on Gardena and the staff there are so good to her. They train her because she is still a puppy so she needs the guidance. They wash her and feed her and love her so much. This is the best place ever !
After walking away from a horrible experience at a doggie daycare nearby on Santee St. that was owned by 2 lame money-hungry selfish punks, I was relieved and thankful to know that GO DOG LA was still in business after covid. I thought they were closed! In the 2 or 3 times I've seen and talked with the owner Beth - who is a lovely jewel might I add - I felt like I was finally home. Oh and Fizzgig my dog too hehe. I have a 3yo 15lb dachshund who is a standard sable colored shorthair breed and she killed on her assessment day. Normally her assessments will take at least 20min (we've been to many daycares in DTLA) but at Go Dog, it literally took all but 5 minutes! That's how easy it was for her which tells me that the pack of dogs there are all very chill dogs! ***OBLIGATORY PROMOTION NOTE: CUSTOMERS GET 1 FREE DAY OF DAYCARE IF YOUR PET PASSES THE ASSESSMENT TEST*** So today, Fizzy (short for Fizzgig) is at her 1st official day of daycare having a grand time with Beth, the workers, and the other friendly cutie dogs. Beth does a fantastic job of communicating to you with her mobile phone since their landline phone is not textable. She texts pics and vids of your furry little loved one throughout the day when she has time and man are they cute and make your day smile. If you need her ASAP, you can text or call her. That's what her mobile phone is for. There aren't any 24/7 cameras for us to watch through but I honestly don't think that's necessary because I've seen the facilities and the "no camera" thing is outweighed by the multitude of positive points of the facilities. ***ANOTHER PROMOTION NOTE: NEW CUSTOMERS GET 10% OFF 1x DAYCARE PACKAGE!!!*** Speaking of facilities, THERE IS AN INDOOR AND OUTDOOR AREA AND THE WHOLE SPACE IS MASSIVE! This is incredibly important to me because I strongly believe house-training rules must be followed and that dogs should NOT use the bathroom on the inside of the facilities. The outdoor area with grass encourages them to go about their business and reconditions the house-training. I also believe Go Dog is the biggest doggie daycare in all of DTLA (don't quote me on that). The water bowls are always filled with cold water which is great because my spoiled dog only drinks the coldest of waters. And what else... I think that about pretty much covers it! BETH THE OWNER IS EFFING RAD! THE FACILITIES ARE RAD! THE PRICES ARE RAD! EVERYTHING IS RAD @ GO DOG LA! COME CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF! DON'T GO ANYWHERE ELSE BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TO 5 DAYCARES IN DTLA WITHIN 3 YEARS AND THIS 1 TRULY IS THE BEST!
Beth and her team are genuine, kind, knowledgeable, and communicative. I have been taking my Frenchies to GoDog for the past 10 years. I am very particular about my "children," and never have I felt more comfortable, especially when my work takes me overseas for extended time. The atmosphere and quality of pups that go here are highly vetted, and it feels like a community of like-minded pup parents who want what's best and needed when it comes to caring for our babies while we cannot. Beth recently renovated the entire play space, and it shows. It was great before and even better now. 10 out of 10!
Love this place so much for how my old pup loved them and how they cared for her (she was basically a mascot.) So excited for their reopening right around the time I finally got my new puppy! Nicest and best staff! She's normally a nervous little one but opened right up at GoDog, some of the happiest pics and videos of her. Huge space with big and small sides (mostly be personality, not just size) and outdoor space. No cages, just a free range daycare/boarding party. Love the frequent Instagram posts. So happy again, welcome back and congrats Beth and staff, a real gem!
The best doggie day care in the area. Everyone is super nice and the outdoor play area is an added bonus! My dog is thriving here.
Best doggie daycare in town ! This place is doggie Disneyland . So much to do and so many friends to play with ! My puppy is super happy to return , he goes crazy from the moment I park the car in front of the building. He goes often for daycare but has also spent a few days in boarding and they take excellent care . I love that they are cage free and all the dogs sleep together and supervised at night , I would hate knowing he’s alone in a cage somewhere . The best part is the outdoor space . They have kiddie pools for the dogs to splash around in and all kinds of little houses and castles and slides and bridges . Like a playground for kids . The staff are amazing . They actually love the dogs and monitor them closely , when you ask how your pet did that day they won’t just say “ great “ , they’ll tell you all about his day and who he was playing with , and what funny thing he did and wether he ate or not or what bad habits to watch out for because they really are monitoring them ! They’re not on their phones in a corner somewhere .
I have been a client for almost 5 years. Beth and her team have always treated my rescue Saluki like he is their own, taking care to get to know his specific needs and always going above and beyond. We’ve tried many places but he is the happiest here and I can relax knowing he is having a blast with people I trust. Not to mention socializing with his friends has brought him out of his shell. The team is excellent and the dogs are also wonderful - I can’t recommend Go Dog more highly.
Go Dog LA is, without hesitation, the BEST daycare in LA. We moved to DTLA in 2016 with a dog who has severe separation anxiety that could not be left at home for a prolonged amount of time. We tried multiple daycare in LA, but we were never 100% satisfied. When we finally found Go Dog LA, we never looked anywhere else and stuck with Beth and her team until we moved out of LA. To this day, we make sure we schedule daycare days with Go Dog LA whenever we're back in the city and Gatsby always come back happy and tired. I love how anytime we pick up Gatsby, we get a little report on how his day went and whatever shenanigans he got himself into. Gatsby is full of mischief and it's always fun to hear how his day went. I also love this because you know that they're genuinely spending time with your dog, playing with them, and actually keeping an eye on them. Go Dog LA set a high bar on what we expect from a daycare, and we have yet to find one as amazing as Go Dog LA where we live now.
My dogs have been coming here for years and they always come home tired and happy! The staff are always super nice and truly love the dogs. I love all the pictures I get at the end of each day; they are much better at photographing my dogs than I am. I’m excited they will be open for boarding again soon, as these pups need a vacay!
This is hands down the best doggy day care in LA. Don't be fooled by other day care's fancy store fronts and signage. What matters is how your dog is cared for and how much fun and exercise they get. Go Dog LA is a my pups happy place. She literally jumps for joy when we pull up and tries to claw her way into the building. I won't take her anywhere else. That pic is of her giving the place two paws up!
I recently moved to LA and was a little nervous finding a place to board my 1.5 year old cattle dog in a new city over 4th of July weekend. So grateful to have found Go Dog LA! Everything from drop off to pick up exceeded my expectations. The staff was highly communicative and answered all my questions before the stay and during the "meet and greet". I saw photos of my pup playing and having a great time on their instagram over the weekend and got an honest rundown of how it all went when I picked her up. The rates are more affordable than other daycares I looked at and felt that my dog was genuinely well taken care of and came home happy and tired. We'll definitely be back for more daycare days soon!
I wish I could give Dog Camp LA 5,00000 stars - 5 just doesn't do justice for their one-of-a-kind company. When I started a new job earlier this year where I couldn't take my dog to work, I was panicking with how to handle it. After some research, my initial phone call with Brenda immediately calmed my nerves and she was able to accommodate us and meet the very next day. Since then, it has been nothing but smooth sailing - Dog Camp LA are my literal heroes lol. Each update from their trained, dedicated, professional and incredibly sweet walkers make my (and my dog's) day. They feel like family now and even when I have to book last minute or cancel with a shifting schedule, they are the most understanding and quick to support our needs: like just yesterday there was a small earthquake in LA and one of their amazing walkers came to check on my dog to make sure she was ok! I could go on and on, genuinely beyond grateful for Dog Camp LA.
Elliott at Dog Camp is super. He takes great care of our cat Mars and she loves all of the attention she gets from him. He sends us fun pics of her during their visits that show how happy she is. We and Mars are very comfortable with him. Thanks Elliott.
Dog Camp is great! My dog adores all his regular walkers, especially Emily, who he runs to greet whenever she arrives :)
Wonderful, caring, friendly service. They go out of their way to please. I feel completely safe leaving my pet in their care.
They house sat for us and we have a little terrier (a hyper dog!) and they were great! Trustworthy and clean. They even took our dog on hikes and wore her out. I would recommend them to anyone. WELL worth the peace of mind to have pros look after our baby.
Our sitter for July 4th weekend was wonderful with our high maintenance, timid dogs. Communication was great and she listened to and followed all my concerns. I will definitely be using dog camp again.
Responsible experienced dog care. One of the best in the business
Love it here. If I was a dog I wouldn't want to leave!
An excellent service that really cares about its customers
