Dog Sitters in Los Alamitos, CA

FYI to all dog and cat parents who use this Petshotel - Long Beach for overnight stays. I just found out they have change their policy regarding overnight staff. Our beloved animals have no overnight staff watching them anymore. Any recommendations for another pet hotel with overnight staffing.

Super friendly staff. A bit basic but felt our puppy was safe. Very affordable!

The hotel staff appear to genuinely care for the residents. They are patient, engaging and responsive to your pets needs. The hotel is sanitized and they adhere to Covid protocols. One a the great perks is that the pets get to attend "Doggy Daycare" ( If neutered/spayed and are fully vaccinated). The hotel also provides premium food, or you can bring your own. Additionally, there is an animal hospital in conjunction with the hotel. The Petsmart Hotel is my go to when traveling and my baby can't accompany me!

wonderful staff that are attentive and respond beautifully to phone calls to check in on your babies! would definitely recommend on a non-Holiday weekend

The price seems to go up $5-$10 every time we use it. $79 for barely 24 hours or care with no treats or grooming is insane. Will be our last visit.

My Luna has spent a few nights at their hotel and loved it. Educated and helpful staff members. Was a breeze checking her in and out.

Left our dogs there for a week. I took them for play day for 4 hrs for a week before we left so they would get use to it. When you leave they have a camera where you can watch them from where you are. In their room or the play area. It was hard to leave them but they were treated very well while we're gone.

Our pet has always had good stays here. Professional and friendly staff.

Took great care of my buddy while I sprayed my place for bugs, he was well fed and given good attention

Very Happy with everything

I have been using Nicole as my dog walker/border for several years now and she is AMAZING. She treats my dog with so much love. I appreciate that she and her team always provide pictures of my dog when they walk him. Nicole is fabulous and professional - not just some teenager trying to make a few extra dollars through WAG so I can trust her to take great care of my very high-needs dog.

Kathy was fantastic with my plants and cat, but, while on a 2 week trip Kathy gave her task to the owner. She not only did a poor job feeding my cat who gained 9 oz. while we were gone, she killed my bogainvillea by not watering it adequately, if at all. My mugo pine needles are burnt on one plant as is my beautiful japanese maple leaves. A juniper bonsai is also burnt on some of the edges. She also sent me a 'no-reply' e-mail stating she did not water my plants while I was in the Yucatan. It brings a poor business practice to a new level! I would never trust this company again.

Nicole is amazing! She goes out of her way for her client's and treats their pets like her own. She's very trustworthy and attentive to details regarding special care when an animal needs it. I know I can always rely on her for caring for my sweet little pup.

Nicole is great with Luna. She takes Luna, my lab, to the dog park once a week to work off a little extra energy. Luna gets so excited when the car pulls up, I'm sure it's her favorite time of the week. She comes back exhausted after the dog park, which is exactly what I'd hoped for. Luna (and a few neighbor dogs) has been going to the dog park with Colee's Pet Care for a couple years now, and we've never had a problem. Strongly recommend.

Nicole is amazing!!! I don't trust just anyone to take care of my dog. Nicole treats my dog as if she were her own. Very dependable and my dog loves her. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Can't say enough about her.

Nicole and all her workers are amazing! Super tentative to the your pet, caring, loving, sweet and reliable! Always helps me when my work schedule is constantly changing and provides the best service in LA county! Great for over nights as well.

Nicole and her team are fantastic! They are friendly, knowledgeable, and terrific with my dog. I especially like the pet sitting software they have, as it's so easy to schedule the services I need for my pup.

Nicole and her team are wonderful! My dogs love it when they visit and get extra belly rubs after a walk. Our lab Bailey's favorite is to go to the dog park with Nicole.

My wife and I have been using Colee's Pet Care for a few years now and are completely satisfied. Nicole is super dependable and friendly and I feel fortunate to have someone we can trust with our dog Ruthie. I would highly recommend!

Nicole is AMAZING! Her love for the pets in her care is so special. We are so lucky to have found her.

This has been our dog's home away from home for the past three years! We take her for day care and occasionally boarding, and she LOVES it! She is loved and cared for and gets to play, and she's always so happy and excited when we drop her off. Sherri and all of the staff are wonderful, they truly care! Plus they are pretty flexible and affordable, especially compared to other places. Could not recommend them more!

We are going on two years of bringing our dog for daycare and occasional boarding at about Animal’s Best Friend and we wouldn’t take him anywhere else. He loves Sherri and her staff and is always eager to go. The staff has taken the time to get to know my reactive dog and has helped him socialize to the point where he has many doggie friends. I always feel our dog gets the best and most consistent care at Your Animal’s Best Friend. I highly recommend.

YABF is a great place to take your dog if you’re looking for a cage-free daycare filled with loving staff and great prices. My dog goes here twice a week and enjoys making new friends. She also gets spoiled because of her big sad cow eyes. I know that she’ll be safe and happy while I’m working. When I first brought my dog here, I was worried because she’s shy. When I picked her up they called her a “social butterfly”. I was in shock. I didn’t expect her to love daycare so much. The open plan/couch and bed set up was incredibly helpful in getting her out of her shell. Sherri and Dan are both responsive if I have questions or concerns. They are happy to give me updates with photos during the afternoon.

This family is dedicated to supporting and protecting and loving your pups. Sherri is a dedicated and fiercely loyal person to the health and safety of your dogs. You don't want to vaccinate or train your dog? Cool, you can't come here, she is strict about medical records and behavior of animals. We live in FV now and still come back for top level love and support after moving from HB. If you don't believe that these animals are something special talk to Sherri about their not so subtly message to her and saving her, it's a testament to why we don't deserve dogs.

After looking around for a professional dog care service for our wedding, we found Your Animal's Best Friend. My dog is like my child, since I don't have any children, and it was enormously important for her to be in our wedding. We got married on a Sunday on Labor Day weekend 2014 at Hyatt Huntington Beach. While most dog care services were closed Sundays and/or the holiday weekend, Your Animal's Best Friend was not only open, but provided handling services and transportation for my dog Penny to and from my wedding! Sherri handled Penny with care and professionalism my entire wedding ceremony, and before & after for photos. She was dressed professionally in case she appeared in any photos while handling Penny, and even got Penny dressed in her flower girl outfit for us. I dropped Penny off with Sherri in the morning with her outfit and food, and let Sherri know that Penny is afraid of larger dogs and is more comfortable around puppies or a small group of mellow dogs. Sherri showed me around and where she would have Penny, and I even met the other dogs Penny would be around to make sure I was okay with it. She arrived with Penny at the hotel right on time, and handled her while we took photos. She stayed with Penny the entire time, even when my family was handling her or she wasn't needed at that particular moment. My cousin walked Penny down the aisle, and Penny stayed with the groomsmen during the ceremony. We had Sherri sit in the front in case she needed to take Penny, and she walked Penny back out when the ceremony was over. She stayed for as long as I wanted after the ceremony to take pictures and pose her. She then took Penny back to the facility where she stayed the night until we picked her up the next morning. Sherri even sent me text message updates that Penny was okay upon their return. Sherri was everything we were looking and hoping for and more to make it possible to have Penny in our wedding. I can't say enough great things about how caring and professional they were in such a milestone in our lives!

Sherri and her facility are just simply AMAZING! She is a genuinely devoted, loving caring, good natured, angel on earth and is also a cancer survivor with an enormous zest for life! She's a gem, a true blessing and truly makes such an incredible impact and huge difference to our society with her enormous compassion she exudes to all animals and humans alike. Thank you Sherri for everything you do and who you are!

BEST DAYCARE EVER! I have been a client of YABF for six years now. Previous to finding YABF I used an independent dog sitter when we had only one dog who crated and left my baby all day until I came to pick up. So I was on the hunt to find the best, and I did with YABF! Like many paw-parents our girls (we have two corgis now) they are our babies. I can not say enough good things about Sherrie and her team. She not only is sensitive to my fears when we starting bringing our dogs to her, she is very thoughtful whenever I need extra help to come up with solutions. I write this because there are a lot of options for boarding and daycare, but it's when you need true help with a schedule or extra love for a pet that you see the true colors of people in this industry. I love her custom approach to pet care as not all families or pets are the same. I love that our girls are treated as though they were the pets of the team there. Our youngest (Ffion) was a Covid puppy. Since we couldn't leave the house she was not socialize or learned to be away from us. She has separation issues and the team is great with her. My dogs run to the gate to go in, and that's a good sign! Sherrie thank you for all you do for me and our family. Nia and Ffion are very fortunate to have you and your team care for them I can't recommend Sherrie and team highly enough. I need more stars. Please more stars!

We are ecstatic that we found Sherri, Dan, and family at YABF! We were planning for months to add a puppy to our family in April 2020. Then COVID hit, so we got the puppy (Blue) a bit earlier and developed a "pandemic puppy" who was extremely resistant to crate training. As things started opening more in 2021, we got a second puppy (Belle) to keep Blue company since he'd never been home alone. My husband and I have year-round commitments and travel spanning all hours. A few pack walk friends highly recommended Sherri for daycare needs at highly flexible hours. I was nervous because Belle had developed overexcitement and leash aggression on walks. Blue had some quirks of his own. We are SO GLAD we went by to meet Sherri and Dan. The environment they have created at YABF is beautiful. There are no crates and their expertise with dogs is amazing. Sherri gave me regular updates regarding their progress slow socializing with other dogs, including sending pictures. When it's time to go to YABF, we tell Blue and Belle they are going to "school" and the excitement is incredible. They run to get there and come back beautifully exhausted. Sherri has been super flexible with scheduling. I had a vet emergency with Blue and she was able to take Belle for daycare on minutes notice. If either dog is on special restrictions, they take great care. I trust them 100% with my pups. I've referred several friends here and they have had similar incredible experiences. I literally cannot say enough about the caring first rate service provided at Your Animal's Best Friend. My only regret: that I didn't go to them sooner! Thank you to everyone there for taking such fantastic care of my babies when I'm away!!!

I wouldn't take my dog's anywhere else. Sherri and her whole staff go up and beyond everyday. My dog's get so excited when we pull down the street. The facility is set up like someone's house. Upstairs is agility and exercise, needless to say my dog's are pooped when they get home. I would definitely refer Your Animals Best Friend to someone who needs socialization for their dog, daycare and boarding too. Dan does walks and house visits for those that opt to stay at home. They have it all. Thanks Sherri, Dan, James, Gavin, Jacob and Nathan you guys are my dog's best friends.

edit 2/22 we had been boarding our beloved senior lab here for the last year. never longer than a week. we decided to leave her at YABF recently while we were out of the country for 2 weeks and weren’t contacted once throughout the trip to be notified that her behavior or eating habits changed. the only update received was that she was doing good a few days into the trip. when i picked up my dog on february 20, she was barely able to get up to greet me. her ribs and spine were completely visible and her abdomen extremely swollen. unprovoked, but seeing the look on my face, a staff member simply said, “we tried to get her to eat more.” charged me and i left. when we took her to the vet, she had lost 3lbs even with the swollen abdomen. sadly we had to put her down less than 24 hours later as we learned she had been suffering from internal bleeding due to a tumor that ruptured during her stay. this rendered her unable to walk or eat and was completely obvious to me upon returning to pick up the dog i left . yet all we got was “she seemed fine” “how could we have known” “sometimes we see older dogs act like that when they’ve been here a while”. i will not place blame with YABF for the passing of an aging dog, but it is unforgivable not to notify an owner of behavioral changes when that dog is in your care. i took additional care with each visit to leave specific medical contacts and instructions, knowing that anything can happen. i overlooked the unanswered emails and requests for updates. i truly believed she was taken care of and they were just too busy to get back to me. i took that risk with YABF in good faith that at least 1 person would keep a closer eye on an ailing animal and thought to call me or her vet if she stopped eating or showing any signs of distress. i had faith that in my absence, someone here would notice the weight loss, bones sticking out, limping that wasn’t there previously, or in our case, being almost entirely unable to get up. i regret that my beautiful animal spent the last couple weeks of her life here and in pain. that no one noticed or cared enough to see her suffering. we will forever be heartbroken and have to live with the consequences of that decision. senior dog care is not for the faint of heart, and as owners we should all do better to guarantee our pets just a fraction of the love they bestow on us during their short times. i stand by my previous statement that this facility is not responsible for the cycle of life, but i can’t condone any level of negligence to someone providing a service that advertises care. based on my devastating experience, i offer 2 stars and a strong recommendation to use extra precaution if leaving your animal here more than a few days, or however long they can get by on their own. you never know what will go unnoticed. i advise against bringing a senior animal here as well.

We struggled to find someone who genuinely cared for our dog the way we do, until we found Michelle! She is so kind and loving and we trust her completely to take care of our dog Otto, for both Daycamp and overnight stays. Due to the smaller Daycamp group size Otto receives constant attention and care, and has become friends with the other regular dogs. Both my husband and I work, Michelle picks Otto up and drops him off at our home which is extremely convenient! Michelle at Little Rascals is absolutely fantastic and I would highly recommend her to any pet owner!

Michelle has changed my life. I know that sounds cliche but in my case it’s true. I avoided travelling for 8 years - 8 YEARS because I couldn’t find anyone I could trust with my precious dogs. When I first met Michelle, she was so kind and caring and knowledgeable so I thought I’d give it a try, board my babies in her care and do a quick weekend getaway. In her care my dogs were so happy and relaxed and Michelle gave me updates and photos to show how well they were doing. Bear in mind that one of my dogs was a rescue with a highly traumatic background who had difficulty bonding with people and other dogs. With Michelle she was smiling and happy and obviously comfortable. Thank you Michelle for being such a loving and responsible caregiver to our fur babies. I’ll never trust them with anyone but you. With gratitude and praise.

Little Rascals has been the best service!! I’ve been a happy customer for nearly two years. Michelle and her staff have been nothing short of amazing! From start to finish, they've been an absolute delight to work with. Always punctual and incredibly communicative, they make sure to shower my furbabies with genuine affection and care. The calm nature with which they handle my girls is so comforting. I am very particular about who I let into my home and who I let take care of my girls. To say that I have trust issues with my furbabies is an understatement! Hah! I have felt completely at ease and comfortable with Michelle and her team! They are so communicative and care for my girls so much! They share updates and photos every time! I can’t tell you how much this puts me at ease when I’m either out for the day or far away. If they have questions or if some instruction I’ve left was confusing, they always text or call to make sure. I just can’t say enough about the level of care, attention, and communication they offer. Dream team!! Highly recommend!

Lauralee was absolutely amazing! She watched my 16 year old yorkie with hearing and vision loss issues at my condo for 8 days. Lauralee is hands down the best sitter a dog owner could ask for. She went above and beyond, was very attentive, and provided updates on every visit! I was able to relax on vacation, knowing my boy was in great hands.

Michelle is the best, Troy loves her, loves going to her daycare and had a great time when he boarded with her for a week. She gives great feedback when you are concerned about your baby. She shares pictures and videos of the fun the babies get into. We couldn’t be happier and the invaluable gift of knowing Troy is at a caring responsible daycare/boarding business.

There aren’t enough STARS for Michelle and her team at Little Rascals!! I have been trusting Michelle with my fur babies for many years and am so grateful for her professionalism, high expectations of her team and genuine care for me and my fur kids. They’ve gone to daycamp, get walks and overnights and are well cared for and taken care of in all of those services. Michelle is flexible, accommodating and thoughtful in her approach to animal care. She took care of my last boxer, Oscar de la Hoya, who fought cancer for several years. She was there right beside us, giving meds, watching over through rough times and giving lots of love. My rescue boxer Frankie and rescue kitty Lululemon go crazy when Michelle or Stephanie come for walks or overnights and I NEVER have to worry about them when they are in their care. I get updates regularly with picture and notes at every visit. No need to look elsewhere if you are looking for a trustworthy and caring partner to take care of your pets.

Michelle and her team are the best! They make scheduling any kind of petcare you need easy and are extremely accommodating. I have had to scramble last minute on a few occasions, and they have come through for me every time. Everyone that has cared for our pets has been very nice and communicative. I really like how they keep you updated and let you know how your pet is doing while you are away. I feel so fortunate to have found them on my first try, but if you’re searching around for pet care, search no longer! Little Rascals will meet all your pet care needs. Friendly and exceedingly professional.

Peace of mind! Michelle and her folks have looked after my two cats a bunch of times, and it's wonderful to be able to leave home and know that they're well taken care of: food, water, litter, play, and scritches under the chin. The updates tell me the kitties are doing well, and the pictures show how happy they are -- tails are always up! Plus Michelle and her peeps have watered my plants, picked up random mail dumped on the doorstep, and swept up litter escaping from the box -- they go above and beyond, and their care is obvious. I'm so happy I found Michelle, and I cannot recommend Little Rascals highly enough.

After our long-time pet sitter could no longer take care of our two kitty boys, I found Little Rascals online and I’m so glad I did! Michelle and her Little Rascals Team tick all the boxes for a good pet sitter, but their kindness and true love of animals gives me real peace of mind. Knowing my kitties are being well taken care of means a worry-free vacation.

Michelle and Shell are so sweet, flexible, and accommodating! Excellent customer service and you can tell that they genuinely care about the pups they serve. We will absolutely continue using them for our boarding needs in the future.

Ariane is really good with dogs! She’s done a great job with Henry (my little mutt) and I’ve been going to her for over a year now. She constantly sends me updates when she’s dogsitting for Henry, and Henry seems so happy and excited every time I drop him off at her place! I would always prefer Ariane’s dogsitting service instead of a dog hotel! Her dogs are lovely as well! I’ve also tried an overnight stay (once), I was a little nervous at first but because I know that Henry is with Ariane’s, I know I didn’t have to worry. Truly, thankful to have met her because she is awesome at her job🙂

They use such personal care and such a loving touch. You couldn't ask for a better pet sitting/walking service.

My go to for boarding when I travel. I trust her with my dogs over family :) they always come back to me happy and healthy. I also get pupdates on progress and whatever fun activities they are doing.

Let's not forget our feline friends. Great service for a geriatric feline who needs meals and some extra attention. Thanks so much, Love and Paws!🤎💙 …
