Cat Sitters in Westlake, LA

They help me when I needed help. It were just for a few hours. I am so thankful. If I had to yes would dp it again.

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!

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 !

Totally a 5 star rated daycare for fur babies. Very clean place and attentive staffs who really care about dogs. There are live cameras where you can see how your dog is doing during the day. My dog is pretty sensitive where he is at, but he comes out with smile on his face when I pick him up. I haven’t tried boarding him yet, but I would definitely give it a try soon.

I've been taking my dog here for over a year now. Best boarding in LA! The staff is amazing and always super helpful!

Excellent care of my pups with lots of interaction from staff is what they offer AND THEY DELIVERED! They have web cams that allow you to watch everything from an app. I was so happy to watch my pups having so much fun!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LOCATION TO EVERYONE!

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!!

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.

My dog loves it here, and that's why I love it, too. Great care was taken to comfort and socialize my rescue pup for group play/daycare and now he's no longer shy and has buddies to play with. And boarding has been great. Everyone at Oh Hello Dog has been welcoming and caring. Great place!

Hands down the best doggie daycare in DTLA! Stellar staff, slick online portal and application process, free parking, and the best Instagram updates! They even throw community events! Updating my review to include boarding services. My dog had a blast for a 2 night sleepover and the team went above and beyond to care for her special needs and be flexible for pickup when my flight was delayed! Love the team at OHD and trust them 100% with my dog.

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.

Great in and out 24hr service. Wonderful staff and my pup is always excited to get in the front door and ready to sleep all the way home when I pick him up!

Hi. I am a Blue Shar-Pei who went through a TPLO reconstruction surgery of my left leg. I was 23 days post-surgery and my parents’ guilt was weighing them down boarding me at LA Dogworks. Why, as they have been trusting the team since I am a puppy? Perhaps, because it was not a simple boarding as I was still requiring a lot of attention and experiencing anxiety post-surgery. Running, jumping and climbing stairs, nope not for the next 6 months and forget about playing with my friends dogs. Putting me in a crate because I need too much attention,Hell No, Just try it! I am sure you start understanding the care and attention I was in need of. The LADogworks Team during my boarding stay took excellent care of me. They were caring, calming me when I needed it to and kept me safe from hurting myself, all of that without throwing me in a stupid crate. It was a great experience, and yes I wanted to jump in my father’s arms when he came to pick me up, but again not allowed to! Believe me, you can trust the team and leave doggy with them in a peaceful mind. woof woof Jimmy Choo

Super friendly staff and great facilities.

I am also here because I watched the profit and it really isn't right that people are reviewing your business based on watching a reality TV show. No I don't agree with the behavior portrayed in the show but this is really unfair. Also if the way you were portrayed wasn't true you wouldn't be responding to each review that have nothing to do with the quality of your business. Praying for you and your employees!

Seriously a great place. They always take good care of my 13yo pup and make sure she is doing well. I don't understand the negative reviews here. You pay based on time, they are open and have staff 24 hours. They deliver all medication, and complete feedings. If anything ever happens they notify you right away. Staff is wonderful, owner is serious about his business, which is a good thing for operations. Least acrid environment I've been in for that many dogs, a lot of smart thought went into their setup. If you are hesitant, don't be, I've been boarding my dogs for over 20 years and this place is solid and straight forward. Give it a try!

Edited Review: I am not sure why it has taken me so long to revise this. I will leave my old review because I think it's only fair to show the good with the bad. This review reflects something that happened years ago, but is the reason why I will never leave my dog in their care again. There was a flu outbreak in the canine community years ago. To the credit of the people who worked here, it was highly advised to vaccinate for flu before bringing in. I had just gotten Toby vaccinated and thought he would be okay, because he had his own suite and did not play with the other dogs. I left for 4 or 5 days. While visiting family, I got a call that Toby was coughing and needed to be picked up ASAP. When I got there, my dog had been kept under the cash register in a crate (yep!) for the entire day. He was SEVERELY dehydrated. His fever got up to 104. Though he recovered, his health was never the same. And though there is absolute medical proof of this, I believe it was the catalyst that started his downward spiral in health. He was not the same after that sickness. Dogs get sick, sometimes, it just can't be helped. But it was made apparent that the owner of the facility was WELL aware of the outbreak (he later hired a vaccination van to come out - a good thing but very after the fact). If the outbreak was THAT bad, owner of the facility should have shut down - or at least operated at a limited capacity for dogs already there. My dog certainly NEVER should have been put in a crate under the register. My dog has since passed, I have a new pup - I will not be bringing her to LA Dogworks. Accidents happen, but I cannot be certain that my dog's health will be put above monetary interest. I give two stars instead of one, because, before this horrible situation, my dog was well treated (as shown in the review below). Old Review: I am only giving 4 out of 5 stars (would do 4 1/2 if I could) because it's a bit pricey for me :( However, that being said, I took Toby (my English Bully) to 4 places (all had good reps) before LA Dogworks. At EVERY place Toby would end up injured. This is the only facility I feel safe sending him to. So from that respect, worth the money for him to be happy and healthy. Everyone I have seen there has been incredibly nice, friendly - and washed Toby's belongings if they got dirty (believe, most places wont do that). Lol, changed my mind, giving 'em a 5!

Matti is the best groomer in LA. I've literally had people stop me on the street to ask me if Matti did her cut!

We used their after-hour daycare service when we passed through LA. Dropped our dog off for 3 hours while we went to dinner. A little pricey but it offers 24/7 daycare service, which is very rare. The owner Andrew greeted us and gave us a tour of the facility. He's friendly and it looks like he really cares about what he does. We will be using their service again next time we are in town.

coming from “@moechi333” “ceedub” tiktok live where he is not properly handling the dogs and blows the blow dryer directly into the dogs ears which can blow their eardrums. Staff seems to need training.

I boarded my emotionally needy, old man German Shepherd at LA Dogworks for 12 days. We used to use them more often when we lived in the city, but now we’re in Hermosa Beach and it’s harder to get there so we use someone local for most trips. His dog sitter was unavailable this time, so I made a reservation here. They came all the way down to pick him up so I didn’t have to before my trip, the van was equipped with a crate so he was safe, and they sent me videos and photos to ensure me he was relaxed and getting on fine. The best part of this reservation was when he was brought home: my boy was very affectionate and relaxed with Andy. To me, that means he was happy and really enjoyed himself. The price for everything (transportation, boarding, welcome home bath) was better than I expected for the quality of everything we received. This is a consistently wonderful business!

Downtown Pet Lovers is a great dog walking service. They've been walking my dog, Shilo, for the last year or so and have always done a great job. I've always felt like they care, and really want the best for my dog. I moved from the downtown area to Echo Park, and they were able to accommodate the move, no problem! They even arrange dog-grooming for me, which is a plus. Chasity, the owner, is very knowledgable about dogs and cares greatly about them. I would recommend them to anyone interested in getting a dog walker.

Downtown Pet Lovers is such a great and friendly service! I have been a frequent client with them for over a year now. Every time I have an emergency flight or need to go on a scheduled out-of- town trip, I can rely on them to watch my cat, Toby, even on that short notice. They offer a personal and professional service that I trust and can rely on which takes a huge weight off my shoulders (as a pet parent, I'm sure you know what I mean)! Pet Lovers sends me updates by text and adds photos to show my cat is healthy and happy during the visits. Pet Lovers does come into my home to watch my cat and this has been the most rewarding experience since my cat has tremendous anxiety if he has to travels. Thank you for going above and beyond my expectations! You guys are truly the best!

Chasity has been watching my dog Sammy since he was a puppy! She is great with him and extremly easy to work with. Chasity goes above and beyond all expectations I have for a dog walker and pet sitter. I will never go to anyone else, Downtown Pet Lovers have me as a client for life!
