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've been coming here for awhile, and sadly it's time to find another boarder…read more The prices go up, the services become less, and my confidence has vanished. When I first came here, it was $45/day and a complimentary bath if the dog stayed there for more than five days. It's now very difficult to get a response when inquiring about availability. And, it appears the neighborhood is changing, and not for the better. In the past, the neighbors would shoot off fireworks on the weekends immediately before, during, and after July 4th. Now, it seems to be a regular occurrence. Many dogs cower with fireworks, and my Black Lab is no exception. I was supposed to pick up my dog tomorrow morning. Fortuitously, I came back a day earlier because my luggage was stolen. So, when I called about when to pick up my dog tomorrow, I was told about my dog's experience with the fireworks. I ended up having to pick him up this evening. Traveling these days is especially stressful, and I don't need the additional stress of worrying about a beloved pet. I never did before when I boarded my dog here, but I have over the last 3 times. I had been too busy to research another venue. But, now, I'm proactively going to find another establishment. In short, now, you can expect delayed responses on inquiries, multiple expectations on when YOU can show up to drop off or pick up your dog, and a equivocation on what they will and will not provide. On the other hand, bills for service-- although often error-probed-- are delivered with stunning alacrity. It pains me to write this review. Nevertheless, I have seen a huge decline in the service that precipitated 2-3 years ago while the prices continued to rise. (To wit, look at reviews that have been 5-9 years ago, and those within the past 3 years. Something has changed.) The constant firework explosions in the neighborhood only add to further disappointment. Alas, as George Harrison once sang, "all things must pass."

Sitting pretty dog resort is one of our favorite place to keep our dogs with less or no worries,…read morewhile out of town. They have a cool set up for dogs to play outside, and inside, while supervised. We felt very confident to leave our two Frenchies here, after our meet and greet with Ashley. We found her knowledge of this breed satisfying and comforting. Lets face it Frenchies are not the easiest dogs to take care of. They cannot get too cold or too hot.. or jump up and down the furniture..... We kept our dogs here anywhere from 2-6 nights and didn't worry about their well being during our trips. While we had plenty not so great experiences with Rover, sitting pretty never disappoints. We appreciate Ashley's experience and ethusiasm about dogs' well-being. PS: most bad reviews came from people that never had their dogs stay at sitting pretty, complained about their prices (that are actually pretty reasonable and competitive for the area), and from people that don't read their requirements (such as wanting to board a large dog in a facility that only cares for small and medium dogs). After all ...... having a happy and healthy dog return home after boarding is a pretty telling sign of good treatment and care. Thank you Ashley and staff for carrying!

I make the drive from Venice because they are so amazing and I trust the guidance and care they give, and I see and experience the results so I know what they are teaching me works. Toya has an incredible gift for teaching dog owners how to become calm, confident leaders and build a happy, healthy relationship with their dogs--without relying on treats for compliance. The focus is on communication, trust, structure, and understanding your dog's needs. I absolutely love the Saturday am training groups where we take the dogs in group trainings to stimulating environments like walking the beach so we can apply the skills in real time and in real settings. What surprised me most is that the lessons extend far beyond dog training. Toya has taught me valuable lessons about leadership, consistency, patience, and how I show up in life. For that, I'm incredibly grateful. I also appreciate how they understand giant breeds like my 185lb Great Dane, all the way to the tiniest breeds. I have a stronger bond because of this experience, and I'm excited to see Love Ur Canine's new Redondo Beach location and doggy daycare continue to grow. Highly recommend Toya, Kevin, and their skilled team to anyone looking to transform their relationship with their dog.

We had an incredible experience with LoveUrK9 Dog Training -- truly above and beyond anything we…read morecould have hoped for. Beans started the program at just 4 months old as an Australian cattle mix with *insane* amounts of energy, nipping behavior, and some early signs of separation anxiety, so we knew we needed the right structure and guidance early on. We enrolled him in their 12-week program with the goal of getting him flight-ready, and the transformation has been amazing. Within just a few weeks, Beans had locked in all of his core commands, and he was crate trained within the first week. They also helped us work through his separation anxiety, which has made such a difference in his confidence and our day-to-day life. The structure and consistency of the program made an immediate and lasting impact. What really stood out, though, is how thoughtful and personalized their approach is. They didn't just train Beans -- they trained *us* in a way that fits seamlessly into our lifestyle and how we want to enjoy life with our dog. They truly understood his herding instincts and gave him the right outlets and structure to meet those needs. On top of that, he learned all the right social cues and now plays incredibly well with other dogs. The biggest highlight? People constantly tell us they've never seen such a high-energy puppy be so obedient. That's a direct reflection of the foundation LoveUrK9 built with him. We're so grateful to the team for setting Beans up to truly thrive -- to be the funny, goofy, smart, and driven dog he naturally is, while also giving him the structure he needs to be such a good boy. Couldn't recommend them more. Thank you Toya, Kevin & Blake!

I reached out and let her know how I literally raised one of the biggest cry babies ever PLUTO ! He's a beagle harrier (65lb beagle) but at my own fault he doesn't go out much, meaning his "Hi" may seem like he's aggressive but he truly isn't. A lot of other groomers have done a very nice BUT basic job the excuse being that he's "jumpy" Which I never blamed them just had experienced a great groomer years ago but sadly I think they lost their business... anyways I FOUND THE NEW AND IMPROVED GROOMER FOR PLUTO. When they showed up Pluto started doing his "bad boy Pluto" act but they literally welcomed him with open arms and started treating him so kind (like a baby, he loves attention) They literally took their time even though he cried and howled the entire time !!! BUT when I went out side I saw a GROOMED dog !!!! Tail nice and round ! Hair even and flat all around , clean belly, trimmed nails and foot hair ! My Pluto boy finally got a fresh doggie fade ! And when he went in the house he was soooooo happy and confident he could not stop smiling !!!! I didn't just pay for a wash and trim. PLUTO LITERALLY GOT SPOILED WITH LOVE AND ATTENTION!
