Mark's genuine love for dogs and calm confidence immediately stood out--and Chance felt it too. Chance's breed is notoriously stubborn, but he met his match with Mark. Thanks to his training, Chance now comes when called, sits, waits patiently, and won't even cross the street unless given the command. He won't touch his food--no matter how tempting--until you say it's okay. And my absolute favorite? When you say "crate," he walks right in, no questions asked. Mark doesn't just train your dog--he transforms your relationship with them. I can't recommend him highly enough.

My wife and I have been taking our dog, Didi, to Rover Santa Monica ~3 days a week for many years…read morenow, and we couldn't be happier with the care they provide. From the moment Didi walks in the door, he is treated like a VIP. Everyone who works there knows him by name and is genuinely excited to see him. Didi absolutely loves all the attention and affection he receives from the Rover team. Whenever I pick Didi up after a day at Rover, he is always super happy and playful. He often gets the "zoomies" running around the dog park next to Rover and again once we get home. And after a fun day with his friends, he crashes at home and sleeps with a big smile on his face. We also appreciate the additional services Rover has added recently, such as grooming and beach walks. These services are incredibly convenient, and Didi especially loves the beach walks. (I've attached a couple of photos to show how much he enjoys them!) My wife and I both couldn't do our jobs during the day without the peace of mind that Didi is being so well taken care of. Rover Santa Monica has truly been a lifesaver for us, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their furry friends.

It had been almost a year since we last boarded but Ethan helped us get acclimated to the new policies and was super accommodating, even working with me on pick-up when my return flight was delayed.

They also regularly update with photos and emails to keep you in the loop which is very reassuring. Loki loves it there and is always wiped out when she returns. (She's been napping all day. Very clearly a happy girl ).

Unfortunately, this place was a HUGE disappointment and had a huge negative impact on our pup. Long story short -- Everything here is a sales grab. The few girls care for the animals but the "managers" and men there are just there for the commission of your packages. I had a whole conversation about their unethical sales pitching with the employee while picking up my dog lol. It's "how they keep the place open" - the employee's words, not mine. Astounding. Said employee also asked what I did for a living because I questioned their sales pitch tactics -- I'm in sales. Also, If you need their VIP services for your unspayed or neutered pup, please spend your money elsewhere!! Before committing to a membership, we did a trial day and spent hundreds on drop in days, grooming, and overnight boarding to see if it was a good fit for our high energy pup. Our dog is not neutered and we don't plan on getting him neutered so we chose their VIP rooms. His breed is also extremely high energy and they promised they could accommodate. I also inquired about training multiple times and they kept saying the trainer would contact me. Everything went great after those few visits, they seemed caring and said he was a great fit for a membership so we end up signing up. Then everything went downhill. Upon the first day of the membership, our dog all of a sudden had behavior issues and needed to be picked up. In the middle of my work day I call the shift manager, and he states that if we want our dog to stay, he needs training ... (from their same trainer that I've inquired 3x about before committing to a membership, still haven't heard back). I asked why this wasn't communicated ever before committing to a membership and they didn't have an answer. I informed them that I would've paid for training before committing to a membership if they would've let me know that there were any issues. Our dog went a couple of more times until they could finally get me in touch with the trainer, 6 visits later. Actually I had lost complete trust at this facility. To add insult to injury, I was able to speak to one of their actual workers that is with the dogs and she let me know that our dog is only let out for about 10 minutes at a time, maybe 3 to 4 times a day during a 12 hour stay. This is their VIP option. So not only is he left in a room for about 12 hours a day, with dogs barking all around him, he's not being stimulated nor played with just being let out to go to the bathroom. Contradicting everything they say that they offer. Their "trainer" is also a joke. He is supposed to be from the Marines and well-versed in the breed of dog that we have. Upon washing him for 5 minutes, as I was told, he said that our dog needed to be neutered before he could be trained because of his energy. Our dog is a Malinois and is not supposed to be neutered before 2 years of age. We've since went elsewhere to get our dog trained from someone who is actually educated on his breed and he's worked on all of his anxiety and reactivity issues that our pup got because of this place.

We boarded her for a full week and were a little nervous at first, but the staff immediately put us at ease. Everyone was incredibly helpful, professional, and well organized. They took the time to patiently explain all the details and answer our questions, which we really appreciated as first-time boarders. Most importantly, they took wonderful care of our cat and gave her lots of attention and love. We especially liked the daily updates and the video check-in feature--it was so reassuring to see how comfortable and well cared for she was while we were away. Highly recommend Purrvana to anyone looking for a safe, attentive, and truly cat-focused boarding experience. We'll absolutely be coming back!

They really care for your cat, it is not just doing the bare minimum- they go above and beyond. Joni had such a blast there that I think she was a little sad to come home. This place is like a vacation for your cat while you go on vacation. My cat loves attention and they gave her so much love every day. I even saw on camera that the techs spend one on one time with the cats and that's so thoughtful. They also send you updates every single day. They are also very organized. Joni needed eye drops daily and they kindly did it for her. I am so happy I found this place. I feel like I can go out of town knowing that my cat is taken care of so so well. Thank you so much for everything

***WARNING: This place starved our dog twice and lied to cover it up.***…read more We've spent over $4,300 at Puparazzi since 2022. It used to be well-run under the previous manager, Kirsten, but the quality of care has completely collapsed under the new management. In May 2025, our dog was returned to us with almost all of her food untouched. Initially they tried to give every excuse trying to explain the discrepancy. However after thousands in vet bills, the manager (Nan) eventually admitted she was likely fed the wrong food or not fed at all. We received a refund and were promised better oversight personally from Nan. In September 2025, despite our experience in May, during my wife's medical emergency, we boarded her for one night. She was returned to us yet again with her food untouched. Staff told us she had been fed, but after more health issues, the manager later confirmed on camera that she had not been fed at all. [Email w/ the admission in screenshot] This isn't a one-time mistake. It's clear neglect followed by dishonesty. No responsible pet owner should ever trust this facility again. Complaints have been filed with local authorities for violation of California Health and Safety Code §122383(d).

So now PetRock Hotel and Spa is hiding under the old Tender Loving Care company due to bad reviews…read more Unbelievable! I was a client of Tender Loving Care for over 17 years, then PetRock Hotel and Spa bought the company, keeping some employees. I have purebred show dogs and they have been groomed by the same employee for year's as this person knows the breed and knows how to groom them. No bones to pick with the employee. It was the new OWNER of PetRock Hotel and Spa. Apparently the NEW owner told the "bather boy" to take care of my dog despite that the only employee for 17 years + has groomed my show dogs. THIS was a SERIOUS PROBLEM AS My dog came back butchered! This is a spitz breed that carries a lot of coat and HUGE ruff which was mutilated to almost nothing but 2 inches!! My poor dog looks awful and looks like a starving coyote!! Plus, I have been charged almost double since the new owner took over and also charged me credit card fees in excess of $5 per dog. IF YOU HAVE SHOW DOGS, DO NOT GO TO THIS ESTABLISHMENT. They don't known how to groom show dogs they are just clipper hacks that charge way to much money to butcher your dog!! NEVER COMING BACK!! Below are photos of what my dog should look like in full coat, and what the dog looked like after I picked up my dog, which is naked. I can't even show my dog for at least 6 months due to the hair being pulled out. The regular groomer, Miguel has always groomed my dog but for some reason the new owner let a totally untrained rookie hack and wanna be groomer pull out all my dog's hair for a bath and blow dry only!! UNBELIEVABLY PISSED OFF!!
