I found Crystal through Yelp and had her board my cat for the day while my apartment was getting renovated and I was at work. She was very responsive when I messaged her through Yelp and confirmed the date and time. Drop off was easy, I just met her outside her place and gave her my cat. Throughout the first 30 minutes, Crystal sent me multiple pictures of my cat and complimented how cute and friendly she was! I really appreciated the photo updates. I had my boyfriend pick my cat up and she told him how amazing she was, and also how she would love to have my cat over anytime! I ended up contacting her that same week to ask her to board my cat for the day, as were getting our apartment renovated and they come and go with little notice. My boyfriend and I also both work full-time and can't always be home and I knew the loud sounds would scare my cat. She accepted my request so I really appreciate her flexibility. I highly recommend letting your fur babies stay with Crystal, as she is responsive and really cares for animals and her clients. :)

Thank you so much to Crystal and Dee for taking my two big cats last minute for an overnight stay! They were safe and well taken care of. They're quick to respond and also send pictures to keep you updated

I wish I had a good experience with this, but it was a nightmare. I want to start off by saying this is not the first time I have boarded my cat. He has stayed at big pet hotels and with cat sitters at their homes and done well. Firstly, the litter box that Crystal provides is a cardboard box with a plastic bag and barely an inch of litter for all the cats to share. This resulted in my cat going into his carrier to do his business. Also, if you are a cat owner, please know that your cat will be free roaming with all the other cats and dogs that Crystal is boarding at that time. There are no safe places for the cats and there is no introductory period. They are all just thrown in one room together. In addition to this, Crystal consistently asked me to pick my cat up early even though I was out of town. I eventually had a friend pick him up. My cat was so upset with his environment that he jumped on top of the corner of the fridge. There was SO much clutter up there and my friend had to go into the home to get him. Crystals home has things everywhere and overall did not look like a good environment for multiple dogs and cats. If I had known that was the environment, I would not have boarded my cat here. When I asked Crystal in the beginning to send me photos of her place, she ignored my request. Because of her good reviews, I thought it would be okay, but that clearly wasn't the case. After everything, I got my cats things back only to find that they gave us another pet's collar. Why it was even off, i have no clue. I will never come back to this place to board my cat. If you have a cat PLEASE DO NOT BOARD HERE. They will spend all their time hiding from the dogs and other cats. Also, she never gave me her venmo and I was unable to find her through her phone number. I texted her employee for it twice and didn't receive a response.

Crystal is readily available and quick to answer any concerns. I felt very reassured to leave my cat Annabelle with her. Mind you, Annabelle's not your normal feline as she's extremely sensitive and needs a lot of attention/cuddles. It was encouraging to get photos of her while I was away and she looked happy and healthy when I picked her up. Crystal Pet Hotel is now my go to when I'm traveling.

Crystal watched our 2 doggos over the weekend and it was a great experience from start to finish. She's very responsive and sent me photos and/or vids daily so we wouldn't worry too much. I can tell our fur babies were treated well and had a great time. Will definitely be using her services again in the future, thank you Crystal!

My partner and I recently moved to LA and was a bit hesitant to leave our dog, miso with a new sitter as she gets anxious in unfamiliar environments. The moment we dropped miso off at Crystals, she instantly felt comfortable. I love that Crystal kept us in the loop and would send picture/video updates throughout the day. It definitely gave us the reassurance that she's doing well and in good hands. Highly recommend!!

5 STARS FOR OUR AMAZING TRAINER JOSH…read more 1 STAR FOR CORPORATE LEAVING US WITH ABRUPT ANNOUNCEMENT OF CANCELLED TRAINING SESSIONS. We had an absolutely amazing experience with Josh as Daisy's trainer, and we truly cannot say enough wonderful things about him. Josh was not just a dog trainer to us--he became someone we trusted, someone who understood our family, and someone who genuinely cared about Daisy and her success. From our very first session, Josh took the time to truly understand Daisy. He learned her personality, her behaviors, her challenges, and our family's concerns. He never judged us or made us feel like Daisy was a "bad dog." Instead, he was patient, compassionate, knowledgeable, and encouraging. He made us feel like we were finally on the right path. Having Josh come to our home made such a huge difference. He was able to work with Daisy in the environment where she actually lives and help us learn how to handle situations as a family. He didn't just train Daisy he trained and educated us as her family too. He always listened to our concerns, answered our questions, and made sure we understood what we could do at home to continue helping her. After only FOUR sessions with Josh, we saw an incredible difference in Daisy. She learned so much in such a short amount of time. Most importantly, she was finally able to coexist with our 3-year-old child and 7-year-old child in a way that we had struggled to achieve before. Now our children love Daisy, they play with her, and we are able to see them building a bond with her. Watching that transformation has meant so much to our family. Josh cared about Daisy like she was more than just another dog he was assigned to train. He genuinely celebrated her progress, understood when she was struggling, and always treated her with patience and kindness. You could tell that he truly cared about both Daisy and our family. We felt comfortable with him, we trusted him, and Daisy trusted him--and that trust is incredibly important when working with a rescue dog. Unfortunately, after our fourth session, we were informed that the company had decided to cut their Dog training program and that Josh would no longer be able to continue training Daisy. We were honestly extremely upset and disappointed. I feel that the company should have allowed us to complete the remaining six sessions of Daisy's training with Josh. We had finally found someone who was willing to understand Daisy, work with her, and help our family. It took a lot for us to get to this point, and stopping her training halfway through felt incredibly discouraging, leaving us out of the dark and what we were going to do next. By that point, we had built a relationship with Josh, and Daisy had built a relationship with him as well. Starting over with someone new after finally finding someone we trusted was very difficult for us. We wish the company had taken that relationship and Daisy's specific circumstances into consideration before making the decision to stop her training with Josh. The most frustrating part is that we were finally seeing the results we had been hoping and working so hard for. Daisy was learning. Our children were becoming comfortable with her. Our family was learning how to better communicate with and understand her. And Josh had become an important part of that progress. Although Daisy's training with Josh has unfortunately stopped, we are incredibly grateful for everything he accomplished with her in just four sessions. He gave Daisy a chance to succeed, and he gave our family confidence that we could help her become the happy, well-adjusted dog we knew she could be. Josh is truly an amazing trainer and an incredible person. His patience, compassion, knowledge, and genuine care for the animals and families he works with are very special. We just wish Doggieland had allowed us to complete the remaining six sessions with Josh. After everything our family and Daisy had been through, we finally found someone who understood her and helped her thrive. Four sessions made such a tremendous difference in our family's life, and we can only imagine how much more progress Daisy could have made if she had been able to finish the full program with Josh. Thank you, Josh, for everything you have done for Daisy and for our family. We will always be grateful that you were the person who helped us see just how much potential our Daisy had.

My dogs love to go there almost every day, and I can't say enough about every member of the staff. They are kind, accommodating beyond measure, and they communicate with each other on all aspects of my dogs. Dropping the ball is something that doesn't seem to happen here. This is the fifth daycare my dogs have been to across multiple states, and I do not hesitate to say this is the best I have experienced. I occasionally board my dogs there as well, and it has always been a great experience. They have had baths and nail trims also. It doesn't get any better than this.

While they do provide report cards, have cameras, and have staff continuously clearing the play area, it still does smell a bit like dog pee when you walk in due to there not being any outdoor space/ventilation to the outside (to my knowledge, the other day cares I've visited don't have this same issue). I did the 3 days of daycare for $49 special and just used one day since I found another daycare closer to me with an outdoor area. If you live in Torrance then this is a great option for you. The staff here is really kind and the older woman who works at the front desk has her sales pitch down pat! She doesn't come off as sales oriented but she told me all about the different things they offered and I was eating it up. Props to them for having such a great staff.

I have had positive experiences from Redwood. My old vet was in Pasadena, and I needed a new go-to…read moresince I moved. I chose Redwood after reading lots of reviews online for South Bay vets. The waiting room is comfortable. The staff is always very pleasant and welcoming. Fantastic veterinary assistants. Dr. Kelly has been very good. She isn't there every day, but I am able to get an appointment fairly easily. She also follows up on test results in a timely fashion by phone and is reachable via email. I never feel rushed with Dr Kelly; I ask LOTS of questions upon each visit, and she always gives thorough analysis and advice. I find their prices to be very reasonable, especially for a pricey area like Redondo Beach. A lot of their services and prescriptions are cheaper compared to my Pasadena vet, not to mention they actually answer the phone and aren't a nightmare to deal with. They also have an online vet store with even better prices, you just need to get authorized by the vet and then your meds get shipped to you. One time I accidentally got a prescription I realized I already had at home, and they granted me a refund without any hassle. Only real negative is that sometimes I get put on hold when they are busy and they never come back on the line so I have to call back one or two more times. Despite that hiccup, I would definitely recommend Redwood if you need a South Bay vet. So glad I don't have to put up with Petsadena anymore.

We know there is the place for many years and they treat our cats and dogs they are wonderful .read more
