Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Greetings Pet People, I am a bit late leaving my review for Kristine who is local to us and has taken care of our kitties Max and Luis a few times this year. After COVID-19 was announced in March, our travel plans came to an abrupt halt. We had to cancel a lot of trips we had planned but decided that it was safe to go camping a couple of times this summer. We called on Kristine as one of our favorite sitters on this site. We discussed safety protocols and agreed to cleaning that we would do to leave the house safe for her to enter. She shared protocols that she had taken with other homeowners and had sound processes to make us feel safe leaving our cats and our home in her care. She even purchased batteries for our automatic cat feeder when it failed to let one of our confused kitties to eat. Kristine is a smart, humorous and a thoughtful person. I would not hesitate to recommend her for your sit. She truly loves animals and taking care of your home. Highly recommended! Thanks Kristine!
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
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!
Wagville is the best! We found ourselves in need of daycare and boarding for our little guy, and Wagville was an answer to our prayers. It’s been 2 years now and I am still impressed with how consistently amazing they are. Jill at the front desk is super on top of it and I always rest easy knowing that my dog is in the best of hands with the caring staff. They genuinely love dogs and go above and beyond to make your pups feel safe and comfortable. My guy was turned away from the first daycare we tried because he was too nervous. Wagville was so helpful in his transition that now he wags his tail when we arrive!
the bombest spot ever, we love Wagville and so does our husky!
Couldn't even get an appointment for an evaluation.. there are soooo many hoops and obstacles to negotiate that its nearly impossible.. but even after i did everything they required, also more than any other boarding facility and without leniency on the Influenza vaccine shortage they refused to give me a review date until after the week after I needed boarding. Why make it impossible for potential customers to use your service?? especially when there are many other boarding options available in LA. I went to K9loft and had an evaluation the next day and a reservation for the time I needed.. sure it was more expensive but it was also hassle free. Wagville's list of requirements are a barrier and the woman I was trying to work only added to the the difficulty with to get this appointment. I made intentions clear of when i needed boarding.. and they literally gave me NO options but to go elsewhere. I don't understand how they stay in business, being so difficult.. good luck.
They have the process nailed down. Well organized, friendly staff, they really know what they're doing!
We take our dog here to board because he is a little too big to fly. They have a video feed that allows you to watch your dog during normal business hours. There are both indoor and outdoor areas. Our dog has spent up to two weeks there at a time without ill effects and he seems happy to check in. They have requirements for overnight stays, you need a valid dog license and up to date medical stuff to book a spot. They also have day care which we've never tried.
my favorite place to take my dog that i never get to take my dog to because they don’t let you drop off or pickup on weekends unless its for the whole weekend. cant pickup on sunday. cant drop off on saturday. also gotta call ahead for daycare which is sometimes difficult. that said, i love the indoor/outdoor openness, and that the dogs sleep out in the same area they play.
Best place to take our doggy to daycare. I love the emails they send and they take such good care of the pups and the facility. Highly recommend.
Wagville is amazing!! The staff are so caring and kind and I love that I can watch my pup on the web cams. My dog absolutely loves it and gets so excited when we pull up to the building :) so happy we found such an awesome place for doggy day camp!
WagVille is run by an excellent team. Everyone is professional and skillful and create a warm and playful atmosphere for our dog, Luna. We love the level of attention the dogs get and the nice routines set by WagVille. Your dog can play indoors with fellow pooches or outdoors in the wading pools. The webcams are such a nice touch and are well positioned. Any time we need a sitter, we rely on WagVille. Long term stays are no problem. Just be sure to call ahead because they are in high demand as they should be. Raving reviews only.
Left my dogs there for a weekend getaway. They have a camera/webcam where you can see them. Discount given for multiple dogs. A bit pricey than some other doggy camps but you get what you pay for. Service is awesome. Staff are very helpful and attentive. Will use their service again.
We had the BEST experience with LA Pet Sitters! Thank you so much to Brooke and Julia for taking the most incredible care of our two high maintenance kitties. Julia is the best cat sitter we have ever had. Our cats loved her and I could tell how much she loved them and cared for them as if they were her own babies. They require special care including medication and being separated while we are away and everything was handled with such ease. From communication to following instructions and leaving our place so clean, the entire experience was amazing. We had such piece of mind knowing our kitties were so well taken care of and are so grateful to have found our new favorite pet sitter! ❤️
Our cat sitter, Paw, was great. She really made us feel comfortable and safe. Everything was easy and our pets were happy!
We had a great experience with LA pet sitting! Our pet sitter was Emily and she took great care of our two cats while we were out of town for the week. She sent us updates after each visit and it was great to know she was there keeping them company while we were gone. Communication and coordination was also super easy. We're planning to go out of town again soon and we'll definitely use this service again.
Thanks to Brooke and Dottie for clear, prompt communication during booking and great service while my husband and I were away. We came home to find our two cats (9 and 19 years) healthy and engaged. The mail was beautifully organized and easy to find, plants in great shape. I loved the daily updates. Even before we left town, my mind was at ease, but Dottie's cheerful communication with photos/videos made stress impossible. Already looking forward to our next vacation. We'll call on LA Pet Sitting again!
We had a wonderful experience with LA Pet Sitting. It was the first time we had ever left our cat for more than a night, so we were a bit nervous about the trip we were taking. Luckily for us everyone at LPS were so professional and understanding. They took care of our cat perfectly, and gave us daily updates with pictures, so that we could always know our little guy was safe and sound in their hands. I also love that it's a local business instead of an app. It gave me extra comfort knowing that this business has been in the area for a decade+, serving the community. I couldn't recommend it more. Brooke and Paulette, were fantastic.
My husband and I are quote OCD about our pet care. We basically left a booklet with detailed instructions to care for our four fur babies. These instructions were emailed to our sitter directly so she can review and ask questions before our time away. We couldn't be happier with the services Julianne provided for our pets. I was truly happy with her services and my four cats seemed happy too! I loved seeing pictures of my cats looking so happy and playful. Two of my fur babies have high anxiety and one is mildly feral, but she gave them their own space and allowed them to warm up to her on their own terms. Our oldest cat, 18, has separation anxiety and doesn't like being alone, so I really appreciated the extra attention and care she gave to him. He is also on a prescription diet but loves to sneak up on my other cats' food bowl. She was very vigilent and assured he stuck to his own bowl to prevent advancement with his kidney disease. Definitely would recommend! 🖤 Thank you, Brooke for identifying Julianne for us!
Wonderful! I've used them a bunch of times. Totally flexible and highly communicative. They send the cutest pictures of our fur babes so we are comfortable while we are out and about.
I engaged LA Pet Sitting shortly after to moving to LA with my 3 cats and my dog. My work had unexpected travel and I was able to communicate via the web portal and get an intake visit pretty quickly. I was impressed with their system and the thoroughness of their information collection. An in person visit to meet the pets and go over feeding and medications was very well done. Alexia was attentive and great giving meds and following specialized feeding instructions. One of my cats has a bowel disease and caring for her is not easy. The updates were reassuring while I was away and in my opinion this could not have gone better. I would absolutely recommend them.
Sinead was great! She cleaned up a couple of messes the kitties made, brought in packages, and wrote thorough reports on how each cat was doing every day. It gave us peace of mind while we traveled over the holidays. Getting to meet her a couple days in advance and show her around was nice too. Would definitely recommend LA Pet Sitting and Sinead!
I have been using LA Pet Sitting for years to take care of my three cats. All of the sitters I have used have been wonderful - reliable, personable, and caring towards my pets. They take time to sit with my cats and play with them, as well as to write detailed notes on their activities. I know my cats appreciate the extra attention, and I am relieved to be able to go on vacation and not worry about their welfare. I will continue to use LAPS, and I highly recommend their company to other pet owners, as their prices are reasonable and their staff is professional and dependable.
We absolutely love the Den for our pup! They are caring, attentive, and a fun group of individuals. We send Utah to agility classes, and she recently completed a Reactive Rover class, we have seen a significant improvement in her ability to listen to us and not be as reactive to strangers. We also send Utah here for daycare and boarding, as this is a place we trust. We have also recommended friends bring their pups to Den, and Utah hangs out with her Den friends outside of daycare.
5-stars for this business. My dog has never been so happy, and he’s an experienced doggy daycarer! The ‘Den Urban Dog Retreat’ are mindful of everything from the moment you handover in the am, the time spent in their care, the activities played, updates which provide a daily photo (attached), to the final collection in the pm. Also, it’s clear that they treat and train their staff well, because they are all so lovely and informative. I truly can’t say enough good stuff about this place as their level of service and care is hard to compete with. Thank-you, were so glad we found you; I have peace of mind for the first time.
Wow, I don't even know where to start with this amazing place! I'm SO GRATEFUL to have found them for my Nova. The staff is beyond fantastic - all so caring and compassionate and clearly so passionate about dogs. I was nervous trying a new daycare and overnight facility for my dog, but they made me feel SO comfortable when I dropped her off and they were so great with her. I got great updates every day via emailed photos, and could tell my girl was totally chill there. When I picked her up, it was so clear that they had really paid attention to her all week and given her the love that I hoped they would. I have never trusted a facility or group of dog lovers more than I trust Den. I can't recommend them highly enough!! Truly so, so grateful to have found them. They go above and beyond for dogs' happiness and care.
We've taken our goldendoodle here every other week or so for grooming for a couple of years now. We tried a few others in the area until our friends told us about Linda here at DEN. She is so nice and our dog loves both the haircuts and the bath and brush sessions. I love that our dog doesn't come home smelling like cleaning chemicals like he did from the other local groomers we tried. All the people who work there are very nice and obviously love all the dogs there. Booking appointments is easy through the website. Tip: Book appointments about a week ahead of time to get the times you want.
These folks are just extremely special amazing fantastic people and caregivers. Ownership and staff are all warm and compassionate yet firm and knowledgeable about the best way to handle dogs, in our experience. Early on, we signed up our Cleo for their puppy socialization and that was very impactful for her in the best way. These days she goes with them every morning for a hike and twice a week she stays with them all day for playtime. She has even stayed overnight with them for as long as a month - special diet and all. I can’t say enough good things about the people here . This is even better than leaving your dog with family or best friends.
My dog Atlas, who is a very sensitive little guy with a traumatic past, has such a great time at Den. Before his meet and greet he was shaking in the car, now he knows exactly where we are when we pull up and his tail is wagging the whole way. I've had bad experiences with other daycare centers, but it's so clear that everyone who works at Den actually loves the dogs and wants what's best for them. So glad to have found Den and can't recommend them enough!
DEN Urban Dog Retreat adds so much to the beauty of this city, Los Angeles. I couldn't be more grateful for the paw-bulous work they do for doggies and their human parents alike. They offer a variety of services to enrich the doggies' integrative health. Thank you for existing and for your services!
This establishment is condescending and rude. I’ve lived in the neighborhood for years and we’ve always helped each other out with each others pets. Recently one of our dogs has been getting out more and finding his way to this establishment (obviously because he smells other dogs) this afternoon they decided to lecture an 18 year old and basically threatened to catch and rehome the dog if it happens again. As if it wasn’t bad enough you’re gentrifying the neighborhood we love, now you think you’re better than the actual community? Never taking a dog here.
Very friendly staff and they definitely know their stuff. Booked my dog for day care since I don't always have time to give her the attention she needs and when I picked up my dog she was calm and happy like I have seldom seen! The rest of their pack really balanced out my dogs personality and I could tell she was happy and had got some good exercise in. We also got her groomed in their fabulous spa room (see pic). It's the kind of place that people would like to stay at, not just the dogs! Great job guys, we'll be back!
My dog is treated with love and care- they are 100% attentive and keep the daycare sizes small. This not only show that the owners are not in it for the profit only- but they actually care about the well being of your pet. They go above and beyond basic doggy services. It’s been a huge gift to have their support with my fur baby and my schedule. Tried many other locations and this is leagues above the rest. Do not hesitate to feel secure in knowing your pet will have the best care possible.
Kong loves his time at Glendale Pet Resort - he gets to play as much as he wants!! He always looks great (but maybe a bit tired 😉) when I pick him up from his time here. …
epi and his team are the very best. i love that they don't have just a big dog and small dog area like most doggy daycare facilities. they separate dogs into different packs every day based on temperament and rotate them between quiet, dark rooms for them to rest and the outdoor play area. my pup comes home tired and happy, but not completely exhausted at the end of the day.
We’ve been with Glendale Pet Resort for over 11 years. Our Champ loves coming here for play days and boarding. Epi and the staff are professional and friendly. Highly recommended.
My Grand-puppy is staying here a few days over the weekend. I hope it’s good, they care and he’s happy! We need a good place we can trust ❤️🩹🐶 …
Our dog loves this place and we are grateful to have it as an option to get some of her energy out while we work from home. It's affordable and reliable and the staff is super friendly. We highly recommend it.
I have been using this place for 9 years. My Riley Blue loves going there. As soon as we get close to the place, he gets so excited. Epi, the owner & staff are so great with all the dogs. ♥️
The only place I trust with my dog. They separate dogs by energy level and rotate them around as needed instead of just small and big dogs. The owner Epi is very knowledgeable and a nice guy. They also offer overnight boarding.
The place is great! My dog approximately has been going to the resort for about 5 years or more. The staff are awesome the owner Epi and his wife are great! The owner also trains dogs. Highly recommended. 😁
I'm really at a loss for how this place has this many good reviews. Everyone I talked to seemed high and could barely hold a conversation, let alone communicate with each other, and then they would act as if I was the one who was unprepared. My s/o picked my dog up the next day and had the same experience. They handed over my dog on a leash and he asked if there was anything else, they said no despite me bringing in half a bag of dog food. When I went to pick up the food the next day, (besides taking forever because nobody could figure out that simple task), they handed me back a bag with 10ish kibbles left. I don't know the experience my dog had since they don't have the dogs visible at the door, but he was sick for the following week. I'm not sure if they just share all the brand's of food among the dogs staying, or if they seriously gave my dog that much food in one night.
I love the owner Epi, he really knows dogs and he is reasonable and respectful. We're feel so blessed to know our dogs are being cared for just as we would.
Petagree is fantastic! I have two rabbits and a cat and am often anxious leaving them -- rabbits have very specific needs and their health can be fickle, so it's hard to find a caretaker who's knowledgeable. Petagree was wonderful in keeping all of the pets happy and healthy in their routines. They were very communicative and incredibly flexible when I needed to extend my trip. I trust them completely and feel so relieved knowing I can count on them for future travel.
In the past, we’ve taken our cats to pet “hotels” and other pet sitting locations when we’ve had to leave town. Petagree Petsitting far surpasses those options: Our cats have been calmer and happier because they got to stay home - and be cared for by someone who really loves them. In medical emergencies, Dina has taken them for medical care and kept us updated on their status. Also, our plants and groundcover get watered and cared for. She’s absolutely the best!
Outstanding service from people that love animals and that have been in business over 40yrs. I wouldn't trust my pets with anyone else. Thnk you
Great Service - i use Dina whenever i go out of town on business.
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
My dog has been going to Whitaker for over a year now and he absolutely loves his days there! I also enjoy the fact that they are so flexible and the pick up/drop off makes it so much easier for us. They are so communicative and pleasant to deal with. Highly highly recommend them!
I could not be happier with these wonderful people! Every employee I have met, from the first person to come to my home to assess my dog, to every driver that has come to pick him up, has been conscientious, professional, and do a great job of communicating! The joy of seeing my puppy light up with excitement when they pull up to my home fills my heart to the brim. Thank you, to the whole Whitaker team!
We’ve been sending our pup here for over 4 yrs, and it’s been the best! The pick-up and drop-off service makes it so worth it, and on top of that, the guys who look after our dog are just the nicest and sweetest with her! They truly care for her and it makes us feel great leaving her with them. They’re also super responsive and flexible with scheduling. Highly recommend!
I have a reactive (insecure) puppy that had been in 1:1 training for a few months. He was still very fearful of other dogs, and I reached out to Whitaker to try to get him more socialized. The evaluation was super quick, and he started day care the next week. Britt is great with scheduling and communication. I got updates about how he was settling in, and the pick-up drop-off service is fantastic. I decided to board him over the Thanksgiving holiday and he looked so happy in all of the photos they shared. To be honest, I feel like he was a little disappointed to come home. While he was there, Aimee groomed him for the first time and took so much care in getting Gus Gus to be comfortable. I can’t rave about the staff enough. I’ve seen a complete 180 in how he greets and plays with other dogs. If you’re considering Whitaker for a shy dog, I highly recommend!!
Whitaker dog day camp is the absolute best! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. Our boy always comes home happy from his time there - we cannot overstate how much we appreciate Ethan and his team for taking care of our dog. Everyone is so nice and responsive, and one particular moment that stuck with me from one of his boarding stays is when the drop-off team member said "I played with him myself!" Having come from a daycare that leaves the dogs in a room to play with each other, this meant the world to me, as the folks at Whitaker take care to spend time with the pups and get to know them as well. They are also very responsive, and reply to any message I'll send them as soon as possible, as well as being accommodating. We greatly appreciate everyone at Whitaker, and look forward to more fun stays for Bonsai! :)
We’ve loved Whitaker while living in Echo Park. Our dog can be territorial but was always so so excited whenever he saw the Whitaker van roll up for pickup. The staff are very attentive and accommodating. Couldn’t recommend more!
Everyone has been so caring and helpful in helping to socialize my dog. She hadn't really been around other dogs and she's been having the time of her life at daycare and when she stays overnight with Whitaker Dog Day Camp. I couldn't be more grateful that she's having fun and I get to work without random puppy attacks lol.
Whitaker has been a total life changer for my dog and I! I cannot recommend them enough. The pick up/drop off service is incredible- but most importantly, the whole staff is responsive, friendly, and flexible. My dog loves going to doggy day camp with the Ethans and the whole crew. Thank you 🙏 …
The best doggy day care in L.A!! Our dog, Bodhi has been going to Whitaker Dog Care for over a year and we love Ethan's services including dog boarding. The pick-up and drop-off is the most convenient! We now have a second dog and started sending him with Ethan as well about two months ago. They both come home happy and exhausted! Thank you to Ethan and his team for being so reliable and trustworthy.
Ethan is an amazing dude with a passion for dogs. He and his team have been taking care of our Border Collie since he was a puppy and they have a great bond. After some bad experiences with other boarding facilities, we always look forward to having Ziggy go with Ethan because we can trust him to take personalized care of our little guy. The pickup and drop-off is a huge bonus and takes a lot of stress out of leaving town. Highly recommend Whitaker if you live in the Frogtown / Silverlake area!
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!
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!
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!
