Been a client of Little Rascals for years. I just cannot say enough good things about the team. Michelle (owner) hires great walkers. I say "team" because that is one if my needs to always have access to coverage due to my travels. Having access to multiple walkers is great. Also, they are just the best walkers. My dog is so happy and I get regular reports. Malia and Stephanie both give me great reports, share pics, have a thing that shows the walk route/distance. They're always on time and just make it work. I also like that I can book online - and Michelle is on top of schedules. Again, super duper service. Thanks. read more

I have used this service for years and they always take such good care of my cats. Last week we took a trip for 6 days and had a new girl Kyla. She did an exceptional job as we had special requests and all were met perfectly. The bonus was the daily updates and photos that made my trip that much better since I felt relaxed knowing they were being so well cared for. Would definitely recommend. read more

Tried Little Rascals Pet Care in a last ditch effort. We were going on vacation for 8 days and our normal sitter had a change in plans. I was so worried because our Finnigan is shy to warm up and I wanted him to stay in his home where he feels safe. Michelle and Cheyenne came to our rescue, Cheyenne was the best thing for Finn! She made sure he was taken care of just like we would! She prioritized his needs and she kept us in communication the entire time so we could feel safe and relaxed! Thank you both so much!!! Recommend read more

We love Little Rascals Pet Care. Michelle provided a convenient and easy way to schedule and communicate needs for our dogs. The dog walkers, Malia and Cheyenne were super friendly, dependable, and thoughtful. I believe the dogs lost weight during the time they were walked by Little Rascals . We appreciate their excellent service during our time of need. read more

After researching many locations, we thought this doggie daycamp and dog walking service would fit our needs. We emailed a brief questionnaire and received a call back a couple of days later. She let us know that they were already beyond their capacity of 15 dogs and had 17 at the moment. I had also inquired about dog walking and she didn't mention it until I asked. She claimed that I lived too far and that a 15 minute drive was not doable for her staff. That made no sense. I asked her how close I should live and she said, " 5 minutes." Her website states Lakewood is a city that they serve. See pic. After the call she literally proceeded to send me a text of how long it would take to drive to my house. Why?? Not sure, but I can only think that she's too scared to tell me that they don't want to deal with a pit bull. Be honest about your business practices and don't post Lakewood when you claim you don't service Lakewood. Citing gas prices and saying it's not worth it for 30 mins, just shows you're only interested in money. I never even said I only wanted 30 minute walks, you just assumed. read more

Little Rascals Pet Care - Dog Walkers Near Me - Long Beach, California

We used Little Rascals Pet Care for multiple walks a day while we were out of town over holidays and work trips on many occasions and were so glad we found them. We spoke to Michelle during our initial meeting and knew right away we wanted to use them. She was always easy to get in touch with and always made sure we were taken care of before and after each trip. Lauralee, an incredible walker. She went above and beyond for our two dogs, punctual, loving, communicative, and everything we could ever want. We moved out of state and wish they could have come with! read more

I am a professional dog trainer, so it's very hard for me to trust others with my pups because I unfortunately know all the things that can go wrong in the dog industry. I was recommended Little Rascals, and Andrew specifically, by a client of mine who has been a regular of theirs. I could not be more pleased. My dogs love and trust Andrew, even my rescue chihuahua who has a hard time with new people. He is also very respectful of coming into my home, which I greatly appreciate. The staff and owner are communicative and available, and their online portal is easy to navigate and intuitive. Could not recommend more!!! read more

As a quick update on my previous review, I wanted to share that we recently were assigned a new dog walker and could not be more pleased with the process. Michelle made sure we were comfortable and arranged a meet-and-greet for us and the new walker. We could not be more pleased with Lauralee. She is prompt, communicative, and always makes sure to sends us tons of updates on our pup. We are so lucky that our dog is in such good hands. read more

Every time I plan a vacation, I know I can count on Michelle and her team to take care of my two cats. Compared to competitors (I've researched all of the local ones), Little Rascals has it totally figured out. They have great pet services, incredible employees, flexible hours, competitive prices, and impeccable communication. I've been using their cat sitting services for years and years. I love that they're willing to follow any instructions, send updates and photos during visits, and don't cut any corners. The pet sitters are so sweet and put a lot of genuine care into their work. I also love that it's a small locally owned woman-owned business! Big fan! read more

Michelle was incredibly helpful and kind and I am so grateful to her for assisting me when I was in a bind and in town for a wedding!

Thank you Little Rascals for taking care of my fur babies and a big shout out to especially Lauralee! She is awesome at what she does and you can tell that she has a way with animals. Even my fickle cat took a liking to her and I felt confident that my cats were in good hands the entire trip. I appreciated the daily updates and photos. Thank you to the Little Rascals team for everything! Having a trusted pet sitter makes traveling so much easier I would highly recommend their services if you are looking for a pet sitter who comes to you. read more

We've used Little Rascals for four years now and we wouldn't leave our two cats with anyone else. My partner and I can go away for just a few days--or five weeks--and not worry about our pets when we're halfway across the world. Everything about them is great. Before Little Rascals started their first pet-sitting appointment with us, one of the sitters (we have our favorite) came out to talk with us about our pets. He wanted to learn their likes and dislikes, how and what and how often to feed them, how to get access to the building and apartment, where the litter box was, and where he could dispose of the refuse. Very thorough. Little Rascals has a variety of pet services: sitting, pet walking, daycare, etc. We only need half-hour pet-sitting sessions since our cats are indoor cats. Then, when we were on vacation, we got photos of our cats texted to us from each visit--which really assured us that our pets were healthy and happy and that the sitter was showing up. Plus, we knew we could always contact our sitter in case something went wrong on our travels, or that he could contact us if something happened to the cats while we were away. Little Rascals uses an online app called PetPocketbook which makes it easy to set up and delete visits, view bills, etc. We pay using ApplePay which makes it fast and easy to pay (they bill by the week). The owner of Little Rascals, Michelle, runs a really great service and we've never had a bad experience with her or her pet sitters. Very professional. We highly recommend them. read more

Little Rascals Pet Care - Our two cats. - Dog Walkers Near Me - Long Beach, California

Can't say enough great things about Little Rascals! Michelle is amazing!!! My small senior doggie goes to daycamp 3 days a week. Michelle picks her up and drops her off from my home and gives her lunch and medications as needed. She is very intuitive with all her doggie clients and would let me know whenever she notices some physical or behavioral change. She also offers overnights at her home as well as potty walks only. I trust Michelle to take excellent care of my doggie when I'm away. read more

Great company --my cat is always well cared for. Prices are reasonable. They send pictures and comments daily.

If you are in need of a trustworthy attentive dog sitter, call Little Rascals!! Michelle watched my boy Tyson a 12-year-old Yorkie in my home, and I couldn't have been more pleased and relieved knowing he was happy when she came to visit. The app is very user-friendly for booking, payment, and updates like photos and how each visit went . Thank you, Lil Rasclas. I will be booking more appointments! read more

Little Rascals Pet Care - My boy, Ty, with his jacket Michelle put on him for his walks. - Dog Walkers Near Me - Long Beach, California

I can't say enough wonderful things about Michelle and the Little Rascals team! We ended up needing last minute sitter coverage when my mother in law passed away to return to NJ for the funeral. During such a complicated and stressful time, worrying about our little fur baby (8.5 year old English bulldog) Michelle went above and beyond to find us a fabulous sitter and make the whole process easy for us. I can't express what a relief it was- Ellen, our sitter, was fabulous and totally spoiled our little bubba. Both Ellen and Michelle were super communicative and so very kind. Leaving our older bulldog is always nerve wracking, but they truly put our minds at ease. We will absolutely be using Little Rascals for sitter needs in the future! Thanks again for saving the day!! read more

Michelle and the team at Little Rascals are amazing! I just hired them for the third time in a year to watch our furry friends. The caretakers are always friendly, attentive and send pictures & updates when we have been gone. Leaving pets for a week can be stressful on them but every time we have returned from a trip it was like we were never gone. I highly recommend working with Little Rascals for any of your pet sitting or pet care needs. Thank you Michelle and Team! read more

Michelle and Shell have cared for my Griffon Nigel for a long while now, and I feel so lucky to have found a pet care company who loves my furry best buddy as much as I do. Truly, it's their calling...they care for our pets with heart, while also running a well-organized business (the online scheduling is simple and prompt, but they also allow for flexibility to assist with my travel needs & understand how best to keep Nigel safe and happy). I'm grateful to have them in my life, and Nigel is so safe and happy in their hands. If you're looking for something better for your furbabies, these are the people for you. read more

Little Rascals Pet Care - Dog Walkers Near Me - Long Beach, California

I called on my own having used Google. Michelle , the owner, was so professional and so friendly and reassuring ! I trusted her from the beginning. Trust is what it's all about with pet sitters. She sent us the best ever. Amber treated Sam with attention to diet and the need for company. I always judge my sitters for my beloved cat by how Sam acts when I get home. She was calm and happy. Sam was treated with loving care. They communicate daily, send pictures, ask questions if necessary, and do an excellent job! read more

Little Rascals offers the best dog walking and pet sitting in Long Beach. My dogs are not easy: one is a hyper-energetic Samoyed, the other is a grumpy English Bulldog, but they love Little Rascals. Each dog is taken care of according to its individual needs and I go to the owner for training advice and even opinion on treatment, etc. This business offers great expertise, professional care, and great customer service. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars! read more

DO NOT SEND YOUR DOG HERE I am disappointed to be writing this review. On our very first day of doggy day care, the employee arrived over an hour and a half late from the time we were told they would be coming to pick up our pup. Upon arrival, the employee carelessly left the door open and our dog ran out forcing my boyfriend to go running out after our dog to stop her from running into the street. Unacceptable. The employee then did not put my dog's harness on but instead attached a leash to a 15 pound puppy who began squirming and whipping her head around around which is very dangerous for her neck. My boyfriend once again had to fix the problem by insisting that the employee put her harness on. We had also specifically requested that our dog be put in the crate so she did not get into trouble upon drop off. This was not done, leaving our dog free to roam around. This is extremely dangerous and she could have easily eaten something she wasn't supposed to. After voicing our concerns to the owner, I received an apology from him and the employee. However, in the employee's apology, I was informed that my dog has been carelessly let out AGAIN that afternoon. This was the first I had heard of it as I was not informed when the incident occurred or even the same day. My dog could have been seriously harmed or worse on three separate occasions in one day all because of the careless incompetence of the employee. Please do not trust these people with your pet. read more

The only service we trust to care for our 2 dogs! Our experience has been nothing but wonderful! There is nothing more comforting than knowing while you are on vacation that your dogs are well taken care of and happy! read more

So glad I found them. The peace of mind of knowing someone was caring for my kitty, getting photos of him and being able to text the sitter enabled me to relax and enjoy my trip. Going forward they will be part of my trip planning budget, I have great neighbors but they can't really spend a lot of time as they have thier own responsibilities so Little Rascals is . read more

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 be away from home and know that they're well taken care of: food, water, litter, and scritches under the chin. The updates tell me they're doing well, and the pictures show how happy they are. Plus they've watered my plants and swept up litter escaping from the box -- they take the extra steps, and their care is obvious. I'm so happy I found Michelle, and I cannot recommend Little Rascals highly enough. read more

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! read more

Michelle was brave and kind enough to take on doggy day camp, and as a dog mom I couldn't be more appreciative. Working long hours, it gives us so much peace that our Sunny girl lives for getting picked up for camp and comes home super sleepy. Michelle and Andrew are beyond amazing with the pups, and highly recommend their day camp for any dogs that need a break from this covid cabin fever. I also love the sleepy cuddles I get to have especially when I have a long day! read more

Little Rascals Pet Care - Dog Walkers Near Me - Long Beach, California

Let me preface this by saying that I've avoided overnight boarding for my dogs for 8 years because of a bad experience many years ago. After meeting Michelle, I was immediately put at ease and knew I could trust her with my most beloved dogs (aka 'the kids'). She met them first to make them feel comfortable, and sent me updates and photos that evening and morning letting me know how well behaved they were as well as when they ate and made their business. I know it'll sound 'over the top' but a whole new freedom has opened up to me. I'd struggle at hotels on weekend getaways or avoid traveling altogether if I couldn't find a pet friendly hotel. Now I've been given that peace of mind that only dedicated pet owners can understand. I cannot recommend this place highly enough! read more

I can't say enough about how wonderful Alex is and how much my dog has gotten out of being a part of the day camp for almost a year!!! The socializing has helped with many aspects of our almost senior adopted chihuahua mix in adjusting to our new home and neighborhood. The whole Alpha team is caring and I trust them with my precious little guy and the keys to my house. Alex always goes out of his way to accommodate anything we need with schedule, logistics and even helps to coordinate truly excellent grooming. Alpha Pet Care is 100% the best! read more

Michelle and her team are amazing. We recently moved to Long Beach and James absolutely loves going to camp at Little Rascals. James is a rescue and anxious by nature and has already calming and coming into his own since beginning to spend time at Little Rascals daily. I feel blessed to have found Michelle. read more

Little Rascals Pet Care - Relaxing after a day at Little Rascals. - Dog Walkers Near Me - Long Beach, California

I'm a first time client but will be a repeat customer from now on! Nikole did a fantastic job of pet sitting my very friendly, playful older cat, Bonito for 4 days. I received regular updates, along with photos and a description of the daily tasks performed and how he was enjoying the visits. It's never easy to leave a pet to go out of town but knowing he was in capable, trustworthy hands makes things easier. Thank you for taking care of Bonito! read more

Alpha Pet Care is a lifesaver! We had planned on boarding our little bunny, Klevens, for the weeks of our wedding and honeymoon but at the last minute changed our minds. After calling around we found Michelle from Alpha Pet Care, who has her own bunnies! What a relief! Michelle came twice a day to visit our bunny and sent amazing, detailed text message updates with photos. There was even a report card waiting for us when we got home each time. She took such great care of Klevens that we could tell he missed her when we got back! We will definitely be using Alpha and Michelle again. Klevens will be so happy! read more

Little Rascals Pet Care - Report card upon our arrival home. - Dog Walkers Near Me - Long Beach, California

I discovered Little Rascals in my review of many local dog-walking and pet-sitting options...they had great reviews overall and in comparison to others. While on a two week honeymoon, we needed our two dogs - one 13 year old and one large, high-energy 3 year old - to be walked daily and help to clean up the yard as needed. Michelle, the owner, was very communicative and took the time to answer any and all of my questions. We met in person prior to the trip and I was introduced to Sara, who would be walking the dogs. I could immediately tell both were true animal lovers and knew our dogs would be in great hands. The website to provide information on the dogs and book the appointments was very easy to use and organized. While we were gone, we received daily updates after the walks, with pictures - which we LOVED, providing us peace of mind, letting us to know the dogs were happy and well cared for. The dogs were very well behaved when we go them back, a sign they were well managed while we were away. We will be using Little Rascals for any future needs. I am so happy we found a local service we can trust! read more

After hitting a snag while using a different pet sitting service, I decided to try out a different one. I remembered seeing Alpha Pet Care advertised on the Belmont Pets website, so I decided to give them a shot. I checked out their website and placed my first order. I love the fact that I can order online. Makes my life so much easier! I was contacted shortly there after by Amy Ruth. We set up a time for her to come over to meet me and the kids. Since I didn't already have a lock box, Amy got me set up with one on our first meeting. They charge the cost of the lock box to your first invoice, but then it's mine to keep. I really liked that Amy actually took notes when I showed her around and explained their schedules and quirks. I think I've had Amy watch my kids three of four times over the past few months and have not been disappointed. And it doesn't hurt that they are cheaper than the other service I was using (they don't charge extra for more than two cats)! read more

Alpha Pet Care has been taking care of my Jack Russell Terrier "Andy" since 2012. For the past 7 years, they have provided me with dog walking and overnight care service on a regular basis. I can't say enough great things about the staff at Alpha! They are professional and are very responsive when I have questions and requests. The Alpha team is extremely flexible and great with accommodating last minute changes to my schedule. When I travel, I always look forward to the daily updates and photos I receive. Andy has loved the different staff members that have walked him and stayed with him through the years--especially Michelle! I would definitely recommend Alpha to anyone! read more

Our dogs Stan Lee and Abby have a few favorite people. I think it goes in this order-Papa, Mama, MICHELLE, then Aunties, Uncles and Emily. Michelle is our dog walker but Emily usually takes care of them for overnights. They are both amazingly loving and sweet with our fur babies. Michelle is always dependable and also very flexible. Stan Lee is a tripod and Abby is a Senior. Michelle goes out of her way to tune in to their individual needs. She has also given us good pet care advice from time to time and the added bonus is SHE TAKES GREAT PET PICS! She always texts and sends pics when she has walked your pet and she has a knack for catching the cutest expressions. If you need care for your doggie and you want a happy pet, give her a call. You won't be disappointed! read more

so far i'm SO impressed with Alpha... professional and my dogs LOVE their new Walker Julie. Koda's already asking about doggie daycare! :) love alpha read more

Riley is the one of the best cat sitters we have ever had take care of our pet. Everything was handled perfectly and I enjoyed the reports and pictures. Usually Clarabo loses her appetite when we are gone and when we get back she acts nervous and skittish. Not this time - she had cleared off her breakfast by the time we arrived home that afternoon and was very calm. That evening, Clarabo kept running to the door when she heard anyone approaching. I think she was looking for her new friend Riley. Thanks again for taking care of Clarabo! read more
