Pet boarding/training in Los Angeles

“We’ve been boarding our dog, Unagi, for years when we go out of town. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming. They do a great job of updating us while out of town and Unagi always looks like she’s having fun. The staff often plan activities for the dogs and will upload pictures of her playing. Unagi can sometimes take a little while to warm up to new people, but has problem no here. We know she is being well taken care of and we really appreciate all the amazing staff!“

“Dakota always enjoys being at Doggie Central. When we get out of the car, she leads us directly to the front door and is excited to go back to hang with her peers.“

“I always feel very good about leaving Ellie here, I know they take good care of her. What I like best is that they recognize that all dogs have different temperaments and take that into consideration when caring for them.“

“I was fortunate to have been referred to VMC by my neighbor. Both of my dogs love to come to this vet due to the warmth and care from the front desk staff and wonderful doctors. This veterinary experience here is so refreshing and comforting. You truly feel they care about every pet that comes through their doors. Dr Steve and Dr Tenser are amazing - from bedside manner, patience with owner questions, explaining issues and options, and making my dogs feel comfy:).“

“We had a wonderful experience with Dianne. She helped us build trust and a strong rapport with our rescue dog, who responded quickly to the basic obedience training. While we still have more work ahead, the change in her confidence has been dramatic. She has truly come out of her shell, and we are very grateful for the progress she has made.“

“I can't say enough positive things about Muttineer Dog Training! Thank you so much to Jocelyn for helping me train my very shy and sensitive puppy, Wren. Each week that we met with Jocelyn, we learned more- it really helped me feel like Wren and I were learning how to communicate. Jocelyn truly understands dogs, and it shows. Wren warmed up to her and loved the training exercises- it really helped build her confidence. I will happily refer anyone in need of dog training to Jocelyn at Muttineer!“

“Our cat Freddie was going through a rough time and needed several appointments in one week. Los Feliz Small Animal Hospital was able to see him quickly each time, and the staff was so wonderful and caring. We are incredibly grateful for their kindness and attention.“

“The best groomer in LA! Consistently does an amazing job and so caring to my pup! The groomers are also the sweetest to her.“

“Expert, experienced dog training.
Easy to work with and generous with his time and attention. Quick to respond and flexible.“

“We’ve trusted Dog-e-Den for years for daycare and occasional overnight boarding for our dog, and our experience has been so positive that we haven’t considered anywhere else.

We like that they’re so careful about screening for temperament and health - they’ve even been the first to let us know when a vaccine is late before our vet!

Everyone we’ve encountered there has been so kind - especially Krystal - who makes me certain that our pup is good hands whenever I drop her off.“

“I cannot recommend Lilli at PetCare highly enough. She took such incredible care of my little Maltipoo, Mila, after her luxating patella surgery. Lilli specializes in animals with medical issues, senior animals and special needs. She was able to personalize Mila’s care by understanding Mila’s demeanor and followed all the recommendations from her orthopedic surgeon, complete with round the clock medication administration. She kept me updated on Mila’s healing throughout the day and even sent me pictures to comfort me. When I went to visit Mila one morning, Lilli showed me how to use the sling to give her back legs support while walking. Even after I brought Mila home, Lilli checked on us and helped make the transition back home smooth and stress free. Her dedication, expertise, and genuine love for animals made all the difference, and I am so grateful for the exceptional care she gave Mila.“

“We have had a couple different trainers for our terrier mix and haven’t been able to control his reactivity. We did the 4 week board and train and it has made all the difference. We are very grateful for Jamie, Brent, and Canis! Jamie is an absolutely amazing trainer and has given us significant peace of mind now when stepping out the door with our pup, and our pup gets so excited to see Jamie!“

“We needed a place to take our puppy in while we traveled and discovered the den- I can’t express how grateful we are for such hands on, loving care this place has to offer. We also did daycare to socialize him beforehand and it was rly fantastic how much it increased his confidence, his potty training and crate training. Our little guy would come home pooped from playing (they send pics and videos!!) but super excited to get dropped off every morning. Run by the best professional team of real animal lovers. Will definitely continue to bring him here. Mack loves you guys!! Thank you!!!“

“very clean and welcoming environment really good with pets and the people there are super nice awesome place“

“We have two chihuahua mix rescues who have both benefited greatly from their training with Alexandra. One of our dogs was reactive, and its now much easier to bring him on walks as well as have visitors to our home. The other was quite skittish which made training on our own tricky. Alexandra really helped us navigate his needs and build up his confidence. Both of our dogs are more confident and much better citizens since they started training. Also, while we originally did training in person and weren't quite sure how well virtual training would go, Alexandra navigates Zoom training remarkably and we don't feel like we're losing anything from not having in-person sessions.“

“Great lessons, learned a lot about how to reduce our dogs aggressive targeting behavior!“

“Sunset Barquis is such a wonderful place, our dog always looks so happy in photos, we love the updates and they even give her walks every time she goes. We are so grateful for them!“

“Dingo Doggies is unlike any other boarding and training facility in LA. Renée has truly created a one of a kind space that is structured, safe, and reliable. I have been taking my dog to Dingo Doggies for over four years now and it is truly one of the best finds! I just wish I would have found her sooner. Renee is so knowledgeable and has really helped my dog and me come a long way. We are always learning and improving under her tutelage. She has the dogs’ best interest always in mind. The staff is also caring, well trained, and very experienced. Renée has put a lot of time into every aspect of Dingo Doggies. Thank you for creating such an amazing dog training, daycare, and boarding facility. I don’t know what I would have done without you!“

“Khris is the best. We always know our dogs our well taken care of and he makes sure to send pictures and keep us updated!“

“Excellent customer service and excellent grooming. Affordable and overall terrific quality.“

“It’s a great facility with convenient location and hours.

Almost all of the one star reviews are more than five years old“

“Dr Brooks and her staff are very caring, devoted and effective. My dog Mocha had a medical problem with confusing symptoms that VCA ER was not able to get to the bottom of unless we waited all night. I called Mar Vista Vet and they got him in very quickly and worked around my schedule, made sure to thoroughly rule out high acuity medical issues such as pancreatitis, and when my dog left we knew his symptoms where not related to anything other than his back aches. When Mocha left Mar Vista Vet he was happy and feeling better. Thank you Dr Brooks and Mar Vista Vet staff for being there for Mocha!“

“Excellent customer service, and the VETCO team extremely patient kind explained in detail.Great experience.“

“Dumont has been walking my dog since 2020 so this is looong overdue. I loved my previous dog walkers (FitPals), but moved out of the area and needed to find someone I could trust with my leash aggressive and reactive dog. He’s done such a great job with her socialization with the pack walks and yard days. I’m thankful she can get that experience and exercise. He also takes great photos of her in the daily recap, which I find impossible to do myself.

Also, he’s been very supportive of my dog when she has health issues, and I know he’s been the same with other clients. It’s a great comfort to know he cares so much for the pack members.“
