Dog playing
Natalie A.

Our dog loves it here. He can go for daycare, overnight boarding or get groomed. Everyone who works here is so friendly and they often have themed costumes for the pups to dress in and take pictures for the season!

My dog's eye has a large ulcer. He was healthy and happy going in to Fit Dog. Now, he is in pain and suffering.

My dogs spent a long weekend there and both came back with runny nose even though they both had flu, lepto and bordatella vaccines. I have never experienced this before. They also spent a full week there last week. My dog developed a large ulcer in his eye while under their care. It started with a very noticeable red eye and they did an eye wash after two days. It then turned white and foggy and he was squinting in pain. They told me he looked better but asked if I would like them to take him to emergency vet. His eye looked horrible. I am angry that they would say it looked better. He went to the vet. We had a $500 bill and another $500 opthomologist bill from today. My dog's eye looks horrible and he is in a lot of pain. Don't leave your babies here!

During COVID, I adopted a dog that was found in the Joshua Tree desert. He was practically wild but so incredibly sweet and smart. Coworkers recommended Fitdog to help with puppy training and day care if needed, so I took a chance and signed Rowan up for training with Rhonda. That was one of the best decisions I've ever made. She made sure that he was incredibly patient, focused and trained in everything from basic commands to safety habits (some of which I didn't even think to teach). I wanted to write this review because last night at the dog park, while other similarly aged puppies were getting crazy - if I needed to pull Rowan from the activity, all I had to do was call his name and he would look at me, then say come and he would peel off. I've never in my life had a puppy (and I've had a lot of dogs), who was able to assess that mom's command comes before play. It was so exciting! A few other recommendations - the entire team at FitDog is truly incredible. It feels like a family. Rowan loves his time at daycare, when he's not in a training class. And you get report cards and photo/video snapshots of the day. They stream both the big dog play area and small dog play area, which really helped when I was first getting used to Rowan not being around all of the time. I think my favorite part of this team though is their passion for dogs. It shows in everything they do, especially their puppy graduation videos

Large sized bump under ear near jaw
Lauren O.

I took my dog to be groomed here & everyone was nice. However, my dog came back with an open wound/cut on her face in the form of a bump. I didn't notice it until a day later & hoped that if I treated it, it would heal & go away on its own. A few days later the size of the lump hadn't reduced but the bleeding stopped so I took her to the vet & they said that the sebaceous gland (gland that secretes oil onto the fur) had been bleeding & irritated from grooming & that they didn't think it was cancerous (thank god) because of how young she is but that they didn't know if it would recede in size or remain a large bump on her face forever. I called to let them know & they refused to take responsibility for it.

My puppy
Gabby R.

Best service ever , I take my puppy before I go to work and it's probably the best puppy daycare around Santa Monica I'm very pleased

Tired girl after her first day at daycare.

I took my dog Sydney to several daycares in the LA area to make sure I found the best one for her. After all the different locations we went, Fitdog continued to stick out as the all around best. They offer group or private walks, puzzle time, training, all different kinds of activities like swimming, hiking or even a beach day! Every time we walk in, my dog is greeted with so much love and happiness. I can see them interacting with the dogs when I tune into the webcam, not just standing in the corner or checking their phones. I love that the dogs can take a break during the day with a nap/alone time. I cannot wait for Syd to start her Puppy Essentials training tomorrow with Rhonda and team.

West Los Angeles

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!!

Be careful about looking at all the good reviews about Diana and look at the few that are bad,…read morebecause while she has alot of good reviews, the bad ones are BAD. This is something I failed to do when I hired Diana last year to walk my dog daily during the week while I was at work. Diana was terrible and I would never recommend her as a dog walker. I also waited a year to post this after I moved from LA, because I was afraid about backlash (based on a previous review that someone left where Diana refused to give back his keys and was a nightmare to deal with). It started when Diana couldn't even get my name right when I called her and left a voicemail and she called me back, I had to remind her to send me daily texts that she arrived to my place to walk my dog (something she assured me she would do and is not my job to remind her to do while I am working), she once showed up an hour late to walk my dog and told me she was running late after she showed up an hour late (? wouldn't be that hard to send me a text at the time she was supposed to walk my dog to let me know she was running late? Make it make sense), was not affectionate at all with my dog when she picked her up to walk her (viewed via doggie camera), started rummaging through my clothing drawers/cabinets and continued to do so after I told her I saw her on my doggie-camera and asked her to politely stop. Unnecessary and inappropriate to rummage through my belongings for no reason. It was the last straw and I fired her. However, after reading through the Yelp reviews after I saw her going through my personal belongings and found the terrible reviews--I was afraid to fire her outright. So I had to come up with a lie to get her to return my keys. Fortunately, it didn't get messy. Based on some old reviews, Diana has claimed to not know people who left her bad reviews, so that might happen here--but I have screenshots of her rummaging through my personal belongings in my dresser. I uploaded photos of proof of her rummaging through my belongings, Venmo transactions, and text messages.

I hired Diana to walk my dog, as I was going to be away for the night. I was leaving at 5pm (she…read moredoesn't work after 6) and returning 10am the next day. She offered to walk him 5:30-6am. When I returned home early, after 7.30, I notice she had not come to walk my dog, as promised. She gave no explanation for not showing up as she offered and agreed. Then, the nightmare of getting her to return my house keys, started. I texted her the next day: please return my keys. Her response was "will you need me again" "please call me" (for future work). Three days passed and still my keys were not returned. I offered to pick them up from her. I've attached copies of our texts, back and forth. She finally left me a voice mail message that she lost my keys, "I pay for a copy of the key". My entire life was on that key chain; because I wanted her to be able to get inside to my dog in case the front key didn't work (it was newly made). 1 front door key and lock, 2 back door locks and 1 key, 1 gate key and lock, and my work studio key and 2 locks (where my dog likes to hide). I mentioned the actual loss to her, it wasn't simply replacing a copy of a key. She found my keys later that day. It took her over 24 hours to return my keys. You will see the texts in my trying to get my keys and her inability to follow-through. Diana never walked my dog as promised (so she never did the work she was hired to do), put me through hell trying to get my keys returned to me. AND, she cashed my check! All in all, a stressful experience that cost for work not done.

The Ranch has been absolutely life-changing for Monty. From the moment he started, it was clear…read morethis wasn't just dog training--it's a place that truly understands dogs and how to bring out their best. Monty has made incredible progress. He's more confident, better behaved, and so much more responsive. The structure, consistency, and care they provide have made all the difference. It's amazing to see how much he's grown in such a positive way. What really sets The Ranch apart is how much they focus on the owner, too. Importantly, they've helped me understand how to properly train Monty and step into a clear, confident leadership role for him. That guidance has been huge--it's not just about what happens during training, but how we continue it at home every day. They take the time to explain everything, answer questions, and make sure you feel confident moving forward. Because of that, the results feel lasting and sustainable, not temporary. A special thank you to Manny for his time, care, and patience. It truly shows in the way he works with both the dogs and their owners, and we're so grateful for the attention he gave Monty. We are beyond grateful for everything The Ranch has done. It's truly improved both of our lives, and our relationship is stronger than ever because of it.

We are so thankful for The Ranch! Our sweet girl Kaiya is dog reactive and very shy/scared around…read morenew people and in new environments. We were on the hunt for a place to board her that would understand her individual needs, and The Ranch has exceeded our expectations. They did a thorough initial assessment over several hours and determined what care she would need to be comfortable and safe, which I appreciated. I also appreciate that there is no additional charge for specific feeding instructions or diets. We've been able to board her here multiple times and feel comfortable knowing the staff understands her behavior and she's able to stay away from other dogs during her entire stay. The staff is extremely friendly, caring, dedicated, and knowledgeable. They've also been so flexible and understanding whenever we've needed to adjust scheduling or make a last-minute reservation. We look forward to bringing Kaiya here for many years to come!
