My daughter invited me to stay the night in Santa Barbara Fri to Sat. I reached out to Tatiana to…read moresee if she was able to fit in my cat's feeding with other duties as it was a long weekend. To my surprise, she didn't even hesitate and instantly agreed. She was very punctual for our first meet and greet. That gave me comfort that she would be on time for the feeding schedule. I left her written instructions and Tatiana followed them like it was a military operation. She asked a lot of questions which demonstrated that she was not only there for the task at hand, but was there for the wellbeing of my pet. While I was away, Tatiana text me to let me know she had arrived. She sent photos of my pet eating. She left all the supplies as organized as I had left them. She closed the door to my gate as I had instructed her. Heck, she even chopped a chord of firewood for the winter! [Hahah...I don't have a chimney]. My cat's came running to me when she heard the car pull up to the house. But she stopped short when she saw me get out. She had that "OH, it's YOU" look on her face. She went to roam the grounds, presumably to look for her new BFF. YES, Tatiana did a great job!!!

We…read moreusually leave our pets with family and friends when we leave town and didn't know what to expect leaving our puppy with someone we'd never met, but as soon as we walked in and met Laura, all of our worries instantly vanished. The obvious warmth, kindness and adoration for pets was so reassuring, it felt like we were leaving Page with family. Throughout the next 4 days and 3 nights Laura was great about updating us and sending us pictures, and it was clear Page was feeling like she was on vacation too. She even kept up with the commands we've been teaching Page! When we picked her up it was like we never left. Healthy, happy, hyper Page. Believe the reviews!! We would give 10 STARS if we could. The value here is unbelievable. Such great care for such affordable prices. Thanks so much for the wonderful experience. We will never worry about leaving town again!!! Best, Mitch, Becca, and Page

She is competent, caring, and gifted when it comes to pet companions! She cared for my sweet pooch like her own, went the extra mile bc my dog had separation anxiety. Even though Sakhi peed all over her house the first day (sorry about that, Jonna, heeeheeee), she was kind and patient! Honestly, I'm glad I got her contact from my pet groomer! She went the extra mile by taking Sakhi EVERYWHERE with her, so that my pooch wouldn't be alone. Mind you, she did this for A WHOLE MONTH, without charging extra! Jonna is wonderful and I wish her the best. Not only was she a great help, but her family is super awesome too, they accepted and loved, Sakhi, as their own. Her Aussie Sheps are pretty cool also!! Bailey and Riley "rock the world"! :) Some facts:- -She keeps in touch throughout, sending pictures, emails and updates everyday. -She works with lots of pet owners and has enormous experience! -She is a pet owner herself and is well-versed in our pet companion needs! - She is incredibly profession and "spot on" EXCELLENT at what she does!!!

Warning: This company allows unapproved individuals into your home…read more In December 2022, I hired Delise to watch my dogs. While the meet-and-greet went well, I was disappointed to discover that she brought her daughter and another individual into my home during a dog drop-in without my prior approval. It seems logical and reasonable to expect that only the person I met and approved would be entering my home. Allowing others to accompany the dog walker without explicit client consent raises concerns about home security and privacy. When I spoke with Jonna recently, I was surprised and disappointed to learn that the company's policy explicitly allows dog walkers to bring other individuals, such as family members, friends, or minor children, into clients' homes unless the client specifically requests otherwise. Instead of apologizing for this or acknowledging my concerns, Jonna shifted the blame onto the client for not explicitly stating that no one else was allowed. This response was frustrating, as it seems impractical to expect clients to anticipate such a scenario and establish boundaries that should be standard practice. Additionally, when I mentioned that I planned to share this policy on Yelp to educate others who may not be aware, Jonna became upset and accused me of threatening her, which was not my intent. I simply believe that transparency around this policy is crucial for clients, especially those who prioritize home security. From a liability and insurance standpoint, it seems unreasonable and risky for a company to permit non-approved individuals in private homes without explicit client consent. Transparency around this policy is crucial, especially for clients who prioritize home security, as it is not intuitive to assume that additional, unapproved individuals would be present during appointments. Attached is one picture validating at least two individuals in my home - only one approved that had met my dogs prior.

I feel so fortunate to have found Elisa. She is as close to a true dog whisperer as I have ever…read moreseen. Her love for all the dogs is so obvious and her balanced energy and calm assertive demeanor creates a perfect environment for the pups. I have always had dogs, and never left them to board anywhere until I met Elisa. I trust her 100% with my dog and know my pup is happy and safe when she is at the DHK. Elisa posts videos on instagram of the dog hikes and day care and I love to watch them. First, because I see how happy my dog is, and second because I always learn so much from listening to Elisa handle her pack. I can't praise her enough, she is truly gifted and has found her calling!

First off, I'm a total crazy person when it comes to my dog like most people. I tried a few daycare…read more/ boarding places in West LA for my husky. A few didn't pan out, plus I thought it would be good for him to get additional exercise like hikes or long walks while I'm working from home. And Elisa enters my life. Elisa and her pack lived in my apartment community for a bit before I talked to her to see if my dog could run with her pack for hikes and boarding. And I'm glad I did. She talked to me about her methodology, her plans and how she could relate to my dog and the overall process. It kept my mind at ease, and slowly developed over a strong foundation between my dog and Elisa and her crew. I can't endorse her and her staff enough, I love them all. Seriously, when I leave for business trips or for fun, I have no doubt Elisa and her staff take care of my dog. It helps me focus on being present, while my pup is being taking care of, and I couldn't recommend Elisa and her staff enough. Thank you DHC! - Tommy / Kodah

I can't say enough good things about Anna Marie and Matthew! Working with a foster pup comes with…read moreits own unique challenges, and they've been so patient, knowledgeable, and supportive every step of the way. From the very beginning, they took the time to understand my dog's personality and needs, and created a training approach that actually works for him--not just a one-size-fits-all method. I've already seen such a huge difference in his behavior, confidence, and overall happiness. What I appreciate most is how they've also helped me become a better, more confident handler. They explain everything in a way that's easy to understand and always make sure we feel set up for success. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your dog and goes above and beyond, I highly recommend them. My foster pup is already on his way to becoming the best version of himself thanks to their help

I'm so long overdue in writing this review for our beloved Happy Heart Pet Care! I don't even know…read morewhere to begin in describing how much I credit Anna Marie and Matt for supporting and caring for my girl Moxie (and honestly, me too). I adopted Moxie at about 6 months old after she was found wandering the streets, and she came to me with a lot of anxiety, reactivity, and gaps in early socialization. We needed real support, structure, and patience. On top of that, I work 12-hour hospital shifts, so finding a place I could trust--somewhere that would care for her with the level of love, safety, and consistency I wanted--felt impossible. Then we found Anna. Anna is extraordinarily knowledgeable about dogs with trauma histories, reactivity, and anxiety. She balances structure and boundaries with genuine warmth so Moxie feels safe and gets to live her best dog life. She helped me understand my own dog better, taught Moxie how to regulate and interact in healthier ways, and created a routine that transformed our day-to-day. Matt is equally wonderful--gentle, attentive, and always in tune with what each dog needs. She is also incredibly flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups, which is absolutely essential when you live and work in Los Angeles. Her reliability and understanding have made it possible for me to manage long hospital shifts without worrying for even a second. Moxie has a forever Auntie in Anna Marie, and Anna will always have my deepest gratitude and love. If you're looking for someone who will love your pup, keep them safe, understand their quirks, and support you as an owner--Happy Heart Pet Care is truly the best there is.
