At home, Basia doesn't even want to leave the house for a neighborhood walk but the moment I ask if she wants to go to "Camp Carolyn," she gets so excited and runs straight for the garage. When we drive up to Carolyn's home, she can't wait to hop out and join the pack. Carolyn has a massive heart for animals and I can tell by Basia's excitement that the dogs are truly loved and well cared for. I highly highly recommend Carolyn to anyone looking for boarding or socialization!

Anita was truly an answer to our desperate doggie prayers! We have 4 dogs, all of which have very…read moredifferent personalities- but two of which were completely out of control. Taking them on their daily walks was very stressful because they would constantly bark, lunge, and pull on the leash when they saw anything that moved. It didn't matter if they saw another dog, a human, a squirrel, or even a leaf blowing by, they lost their minds and it took an act of Congress to get them to calm down and listen to us. They were so reactive, it was scary to take them out in public, so we started avoiding going out during the day. Instead, we opted to take them out in walks only early morning, or late at night when the chances of running into other people or dogs was much lower. It really limited our options. Anita came into our lives immediately helped to show us what was happening, and how we could start to unlearn the unwanted behaviors. She was so kind, gentle, and yet, she was also firm with our pups. And that's exactly what they needed! After training with Anita, all four pups are living their best lives out in public. They are so much more responsive to us and as a result, we can take them anywhere. Now we go looking for trouble instead of avoiding it Thanks Anita! You and your Malinois Essie are incredible!

Anita was an awesome positive trainer who helped and dogs AND me to learn new behaviors. The dogs can sit and stay for a long time, lay down, walk on lead, meet new dogs politely, and interact socially.

My food loving Boxers would rather go on an early morning play date than eat breakfast- which is really saying something! She has changed our lives for the better. Happy dogs and happy humans

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.

We open our home to your dog, not only as a guest but as part of our family. We live and specialize in the Palos Verdes Peninsula. All dogs must go through a friendly but thorough screening process. We take a limited number of dogs at one time. This ensures your dog and their playmates are safe and get the attention they deserve in their home-away-from-home. All of our canine family members enjoy comfortable home surroundings with an abundance of playtime in a large enclosed garden. Our family members are free to roam the house; we never use crates or kennels. If your dog prefers a quiet room with a bed, we have that too. Of course, there are always plenty of cuddles and naps on the couch.

I appreciate that it's more local and low scale compared to other pet boarding places. My puppy can get overstimulated with a lot of dogs in a small area and can be intimidated with big dogs so they took that into consideration and just had one puppy companion and a turtle haha! The area in which he would stay was clean, well secured, and perfect for tons of play and naps. He came back happy and pretty exhausted from all the playing. That's all I could ask for! I will definitely be using their services again if I need overnight boarding :)
