What a shame. We LOVED this place. The staff was incredible and the groomer (Amber) was without a doubt, the best groomer we ever encountered in LA. We've spent 10's of thousands on boarding, daycare and grooming over the years on our 2 Basset Hounds. Most of it at Wag Hotel in Santa Monica. Coming to Puparazzi was an upgrade in caring and attentive staff. Puparazzi closed with no notice at all (email sent on final day). Not sure what happened, but wish them all, all the best. Would LOVE to find out if/where Amber moved on to. Our Penny-Mae absolutely loved Amber. Nearly pulled the leash out of our hand trying to get in to her room each time. An EXCELLENT groomer. read more

***WARNING: This place starved our dog twice and lied to cover it up.*** 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). read more

Best place I've brought my dog to. My dogs ears perk up if I even mention "Puparazzi" and he absolutely loves it there. They take such good care of the dogs and are super friendly and easy to book with. read more

Amazing place!!! They are wonderful with my dog and I love being able to see him via cam when I'm away. I also had him groomed there which was also terrific. Cannot recommend this place enough:) read more

I brought my pup here for grooming and had an amazing experience with this facility! The staff was helpful and showed personalized care for my dog. I could tell they cared for my pup just as much as I did. Would 100% recommend to anyone who is looking to get their dog nicely cleaned up and are in search of a friendly staff and safe environment. Thank you Puparazzi Team! read more

The guys are great, my dog Frida is very shy but the guys are awesome, I can see that they have experienced and love working with animals

Pups did well. It's nice to have the camera feeds so you can watch the pups interacting. The report card is also nice.

The owners do not care about the dogs and they treat their staff HORRIBLY: underpaid, overworked and terrible working conditions. The one star is for the staff, who, thankfully, does care about the dogs. read more

First off, let me say Puparazzi came through and saved me at the last minute when my dog sitter cancelled and I was already on a flight. They took amazing care of my two pups and, honestly, went above and beyond accommodating these last-minute needs. I am so happy I found them. We will be back many more times. Thank you, Puparazzi! read more

I can't say enough positive things about Puparazzi. The booking is seamless and organized. The pricing is fair. I really like being able to check on my dog via the Live Cameras and I also really appreciate that the dogs are not left alone for long periods of time. The employees are kind and it's evident that they care about the animals. I'm very happy with Puparazzi and the services that they offer. read more

I love bringing my pup here. Wonderful staff, and communication is great. We always look forward to the report card! We are always welcomed warmly which keeps us coming back. Thank you Puparazzi! read more

If you care about your pet's health and safety AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS. My dogs were physically attacked by one of their employees (see photo). There is a full video of my dog cowering with his ears back because he is terrified of her as she aims right for him and uses all her force to pin down a scared 30-pound dog. The hiring and employment of individuals who display such aggressive, dangerous and criminal behavior is extremely negligent on the part of the owners of Puparazzi. The owner's even admitted fault in the attached letter (see second photo) and after agreeing to issue me a full refund of outstanding packages, decided to renege and only sent a partial refund. After staying at Puparrazi (the only place they ever interact with other dogs), my dogs fell ill last year. As a responsible and ethical dog owner, I immediately notified the managers in writing and quarantined my dogs for two months. The managers did not inform any of the other pet parents, and even hid this from some employees who were shocked to hear the news after I informed them when we returned two months later. Puparazzi continued to lie and send out emails to all of its patrons that there were no known cases of the respiratory disease or any illnesses at the facility. It is extremely negligent to put all other dogs' health and safety at risk by lying to patrons who continue to put their trust in your organization and bring their dogs to your facility. Many dogs in LA have died from this disease and if their owners had known of possible exposure they could have saved them. This place puts profits above dogs health and safety. Lastly, the staff is poorly trained and has no idea how to appropriately deal with dogs often having fights breakout (my dogs have come up home with bloody cuts many times) and have their staff baiting dogs for pictures (a very dangerous practice for anyone who knows anything about dogs). They have tried to offer me free stays and I continue to decline because it is not a safe place for anyones dogs. I incurred thousands of dollars in vet bills and emergency hospitalizations due to the unprofessional, unsafe, dangerous and negligent actions of Puparazzi. If you care about your pet's safety, avoid at all costs. read more

I will not be taking my dog back here. Every time we'd go on the live feed to check on our pup, he was getting repeatedly humped by two other dogs. We totally understand this behavior is bound to happen at a daycare, but it was VERY excessive, and the handler in the room with the dogs would do nothing to stop it. My fiance and I both called the daycare multiple times to express our concerns, and when I finally was able to get ahold of them on the phone (after calling 4 times) whoever I spoke to giggled and brushed me off like it was no big deal. When I came to pick up my dog later that day, the receptionist blamed it on my dog's scent and said he must have been groomed recently (which he hadn't). Overall, we are disappointed in the experience we had and will not be coming back. read more

We love Pupparazi! Every time we arrive they greet our pups by their names. Plus, we get to check in on them via the video cams. After touring many doggie daycares, we picked Pupparazi and are so glad we did. We feel like our pups are safe and well taken care of there. read more

We've been taking our dog to Puparazzi for several months now and have always had a great experience! We can tell our dog feels very comfortable there and loves all the workers. We always feel at ease dropping our dog off for overnight stays knowing she's well cared for and we love the spa services we can add on for our pup! read more

Great service here. Webcam so you can see your doggy. Attendants give attention to the dogs. Front desk replies to your text messages really fast, it is very friendly. While dog is staying there, 15-min walks are very inexpensive compared to other shops. My dog goes there when we have long work days. She gets bored if home alone too long. Scratches herself too much, you know? Ah, dogs. Love dogs. "Why want another universe if this one has dogs?" -- Matt Haig, The Midnight Library read more

Amazing staff. They are very kind and considerate to both people and dogs. I wouldn't think of bringing my pets anywhere else.

Just an update to confirm I still love this place. Probably about 50% of the time I check the webcam, someone is petting her -- like full-on I-love-this-dog, my-face-to-her-face affection. I used to hate leaving my dog for boarding at other places, I feel like she's just so well-taken care of here! read more

highly recommend. i love everything about this place including the Report Card they send after every stay. And their webcam to check on my baby is a big plus. And the staff is consistently caring and professional. thank you Puparazzi you are the best! read more

My dog loved it here! Compared to other places, from my experience Puparazzi's dog temperment assessment was the most extensive. They closely monitored my dog for two hours. Before taking my pup there, I had to fill out pages of paperwork and provide my dogs full medical history. It might seem tedious, however, I appreciate the efficiency. Additionally, What I love most is their online portal. The portal includes 24/7 webcam for you to keep a close eye on your baby no matter where you are! It also includes all the receipts and information from your previous or future stays. After picking up your pet or at the end of the day, you'll receive a report card with the recap of the day, along with pictures. Moreover, the staff appear to be true animal lovers! read more

I always bring my pup in when I am out of town. The staff is super friendly and my dog is always excited to visit! I also get my dog groomed there and they do a fantastic job! I highly recommend! read more

Our dog used to come home a nervous wreck from our previous boarder, but not Puparazzi! We love watching her on the webcams and she always looks relaxed and happy- even gets pets and cuddles from staff when they can. We've used the private suites and the slumber party, and she seems good with all options. Highly recommend! read more

Five stars! The team here is fantastic--excellent service, genuinely friendly staff, and they treat my pup with real care and gentleness. Highly recommend for anyone who wants their dog groomed by people who truly love what they do. read more

Yikes - I spoke to the owner Sophia on the phone and she is refusing to give me a refund for the credits I have on file. At first, she said she would only give me a refund if I took down my negative review. I told her this was unethical and I was happy to slightly amend it but I would want to know if there was a giardia issue there. She even admitted on the phone that the staff confirmed my poor puppy has eaten a lot of poop there because the staff doesn't always see and clean it in time. Since then, silence. So I called her. She refuses to give me a refund. She claims every single dog has gotten tested for giardia but refused to send me evidence (I know this is false - it's impossible to test all of their customers' dogs in the few days between. Store employee confirmed they don't have all dogs' negative giardia tests on file because they don't require it. I attached evidence of her reaching out to offer a refund. She's been very careful to only say the shady things over the phone where I can't screenshot. They really don't care about your dog -- they care deeply about profits. read more

Recently, I went on a three week vacation, this is a first time I've been away from my dog for that long. Thank goodness for the excellent staff and care at Puparazzi! It made me feel better being able to see him on the video cams. And, the daily report cards comforted me as well. My pooch had a great time during his stay. read more

I had used Puparazzi for daycare on a few occasions, and my dog was always excited to go in which I took to mean he enjoyed the place. I recently took a trip to Europe and boarded him here for a week. When he was picked up, to my dismay, I was handed a full bottle of medication which I was previously assured would be administered to him during his stay. When dropping him off, I provided clear instructions for the medication, instructions were also on the pill bottle. I asked the individual I left my dog with if they wanted to make note of how frequently he needed the medication to which the individual said they would remember and "don't worry". My dog also came back with fleas... the fleas I can deal with, but negligence in administering medication is incomprehensible and completely unacceptable. I can not trust this place nor would I recommend it to anyone given the experience I had. read more

I took my dog in for an evaluation test (needed before boarding). It was his first time Ever being in a daycare & I let it be known to the staff. I do agree with the report card that was given to me because I did watch the whole time . Can you blame me? I was nervous! & I saw that my pup was there with his tail between his legs and he was very frightened. Which I believe was normal given the fact again it was his first time ever staying someplace else. The reason for my bad review is because I am sure that the staff could've done so much more to keep all dogs, not just mine, busy & happy. All I saw the staff do was stand and stare at the pets or sat & do nothing. Besides holding the walls up. It seem like everything the dogs did would bother them. If the dog was standing on the wall they would ask it to get down. If the dog was laying down & they didn't want it to, they would ask him/her to move. They even removed the bed . The pups seemed bored and miserable . My dog was afraid & I wished the staff would've attempted to comfort him. I'm a dog sitter myself. I've cared for small dogs as well as big dogs. So I know what it takes to keep dogs happy. It honestly doesn't take much. I know there are plenty of dogs for this one girl to watch. But I know for a fact there were other staff around and they could've simply just call the dogs by their name to pet them. Talk to them. Again, I'm a dog sitter & I needed another sitter for my own dog this time. & I didn't like what I saw & am not comfortable leaving my dog here nor would I recommend this place. But that's not the point , I'm trying to get a message across & that is that the staff should be excited to go to work . You work with dogs , come on ! You get paid to play & have fun. The location seems nice, I like how clean it looks. I was going to go with this place because I like the fact that they have cameras and I can have access to them . But thanks to the cameras I saw enough. I saw the staff not acknowledge the dogs. Not play with them. Not throw a ball. Not pet them. I saw them do nothing really. It truly broke my heart seeing my fur baby so upset. ** and I have spoken to the staff & let them know that I want to speak to the owner, so if you see this please contact me** read more

Our dog Scout has stayed at Puparazzi like 15 times. They always take great care of him and he comes home happy! Great job Puparazzi!

Bella and I LOVE puparazzi LA! This is our first doggy daycare and it has been great for us. Bella has been going weekly during the pandemic. This was a great way to socialize my GSD during a crazy year. I love that I get a report card, pictures and they have live webcams to watch Bellas during daycare and at night in her suite. Every time I have a concern or request, the staff is very easy to get a hold of, I can text, call or email and I know I will get my questions answered. I have never had a negative experience, even though Bella can be a handful, the entire staff is great with her! read more

Wow! Such a wonderful experience. We had to board our dogs unexpectedly, and I researched all the local boarding facilities in Los Angeles. When I found Puparazzi, I knew I had found the best place in town. I was correct, my three 80 lb babies were very well taken care of. From early morning until dinner time they were busy in the doggie playroom under the watchful eyes of attendants that spent every moment with them. Then dinnertime & off to bed. We could see them at every moment of their day, online. Such a great, happy, CLEAN & SAFE doggie resort. Big thank you to everyone there. read more

I had just adopted my dog, a young pup about a year and two months old. I was recovering from the loss of my sweet 14 year old furr baby girl who had just died. I can't, nor believe it's important to go into details about that. The point is that I was very emotional when I was trying to get a good daycare situation set up for my new pup. The staff, in particular Kirsten, was so kind and reassuring. I was clumsy getting through the paperwork. But Kirsten was so patient and kind. Now, I bring my sweet "Ladybug" there several times a week and she loves it. I pick her up on my way home from work, and she is always happy and relaxed. The staff are all so kind and loving to her. I have watched the web cam too and I am comforted to see my furr baby in such good hands. Sorry for the wordy comment. It's the least I can say to recommend this place! read more

Highly recommend Puparazzi for boarding. Great staff, daily photos and web links, private rooms during the night. Nightly rate includes daytime camp. I'm an overprotective dog dad who is relaxed knowing this team has my pet. Proof-my dog runs into the lobby excited. read more

I'm really torn about Puparazzi. I would give 3.5 stars if I could. There's a lot that I like. Booking is easy and they almost always have availability. The webcams are probably the biggest perk. I like that we get pictures and a report card as well. That being said, we've taken our dog here a handful of times and over time I've seen some things that concern me. First off, the dogs are just in a room all day. There's no toys, barely any beds, and little interaction. Watching the webcams, it's really a mixed bag with the attendants. Some seem engaged, but others just seem like they don't want to be there and just ignore the dogs. Also, my dog always comes home with his feet and legs covered in urine. On their website it states that they go out to the yard every couple hours, but I've never seen the dogs leave the room that they're held it. The only time I've noticed my dog not in the room is when I pay extra for walks, so I worry about him just sitting in a room unstimulated for hours on end. The lack of attention from the attendants and general lack of stimulation is probably the biggest issue for me. Maybe there's a reason behind some of the things they do (or don't do), so I try not to judge too harshly, but those are just things I've noticed. read more

I've tried all the daycare & boarding places in west LA & I've decided Puparazzi is, hands down, the best. I absolutely love the report card, pictures, & live video. I also love how it doesn't smell like dog urine when you walk in. The staff is so friendly & sweet to my pups, and I see them constantly cleaning the dog water bowls & taking other steps to ensure the safety for the dogs. It's very scary to board your dogs when a respiratory illness is going around, but I'm confident that they are taking all precautions, so I highly recommend for daycare & boarding. read more

I've been taking my dog here for several years for daycare, boarding and grooming and everyone there is great. It's gotten even better with Kirsten as the GM. They take exceptional care of all the dogs and I feel good knowing my dog is safe and cared for even with medications or special requests. Highly recommend. read more

We have been taking our dog to Puparazzi LA for roughly the past year and she always runs right inside when we drop her off - she is so excited to be there. The staff are very helpful and responsive to any questions you may have and they clearly love the dogs. We love being able to watch her snooze and play through the webcams they have set up. They provide a report card at the end of each day letting you know how your dog did, which we find really useful. All in all I definitely recommend Puparazzi. read more

If i could give them 10 stars I would! Im so grateful to find this place! Theyre offering free boarding for healthcare workers and seriously a life saver!Just goes to show the heart of this business is community Place is clean and its nice that they dont use kennel/cage. The suite and play area are set up with a camera so you can watch your dog. It has been so helpful as we miss our dog so much! Our dog has anxiety problem and unfortunately snapped at the pet staff. They are so understanding and hopefully my dog will be able to adjust to the new environment soon. The feedback from the report cards are so helpful so we know what we need to work on next time with our dog. They send pictures of our dog and report card each day. I feel at peace knowing that our dog is getting the best care! Thank you so much Puparazzi! Your place is the standard for pet hotel/resort read more

My husband and I are very impressed and grateful to this business. They watched our high energy puppy vizsla for 5 days without charging any fee. They honored their offer for free daycare/overnight care for healthcare workers during the covid-19 period. The environment was very clean, new , and stylish while the employees were very professional, sweet, and kind. During her stay, we were able to watch live videos of our puppy in her room as well as in the playground playing with the other dogs. We also received daily report cards that included photos of our puppy as well as funny and clever comments that constantly entertained us and made us feel a bit better leaving our puppy without us. I highly recommend this business to all pet owners and will be definitely taking our dog there again! read more
