We found her first when we were leaving in Culver City and we drove to Torrance to drop off our sweet boy. Then we moved to Torrance and were practically neighbors!

She has very good communication and will send pics to calm you down so you can truly enjoy your trip and not worry about your pet. I never worried about my fur baby because I knew that he was at his 2nd house. Thank you Lori for all the years of carrying for our fur baby.

My dog has been attending Sitting Pretty since he was around 12 weeks old, and it has truly been…read morethe absolute best experience. My Italian Greyhound has always struggled with confidence, but he found a second home at Sitting Pretty. Since he started going, I've watched his confidence grow so much, and he has the best time every single visit. The staff is wonderful. All of the girls are incredibly sweet, genuine, and truly compassionate toward the dogs in their care. Ashley is extremely knowledgeable and is always willing to answer questions, offer advice, and share her expertise. The facility is always clean and well kept, with plenty of play equipment and multiple bowls of fresh water available. One of my favorite things about Sitting Pretty is how much outdoor time the dogs get. They have a beautiful turf area where they can run, play ball, and socialize. I'm so grateful we found this hidden gem and a place where I genuinely feel comfortable leaving my dog. Seeing how excited he is to go and how happy he is when I pick him up says everything. We look forward to bringing him here for years to come. HIGHLY recommend!

I've been coming here for awhile, and sadly it's time to find another boarder…read more The prices go up, the services become less, and my confidence has vanished. When I first came here, it was $45/day and a complimentary bath if the dog stayed there for more than five days. It's now very difficult to get a response when inquiring about availability. And, it appears the neighborhood is changing, and not for the better. In the past, the neighbors would shoot off fireworks on the weekends immediately before, during, and after July 4th. Now, it seems to be a regular occurrence. Many dogs cower with fireworks, and my Black Lab is no exception. I was supposed to pick up my dog tomorrow morning. Fortuitously, I came back a day earlier because my luggage was stolen. So, when I called about when to pick up my dog tomorrow, I was told about my dog's experience with the fireworks. I ended up having to pick him up this evening. Traveling these days is especially stressful, and I don't need the additional stress of worrying about a beloved pet. I never did before when I boarded my dog here, but I have over the last 3 times. I had been too busy to research another venue. But, now, I'm proactively going to find another establishment. In short, now, you can expect delayed responses on inquiries, multiple expectations on when YOU can show up to drop off or pick up your dog, and a equivocation on what they will and will not provide. On the other hand, bills for service-- although often error-probed-- are delivered with stunning alacrity. It pains me to write this review. Nevertheless, I have seen a huge decline in the service that precipitated 2-3 years ago while the prices continued to rise. (To wit, look at reviews that have been 5-9 years ago, and those within the past 3 years. Something has changed.) The constant firework explosions in the neighborhood only add to further disappointment. Alas, as George Harrison once sang, "all things must pass."

Since they started walking him, I've definitely noticed he is more calm and loving when I get home from work. Their service also helps me get through the day because I get a text with pictures or videos of the walk. My friends and family always comment on how cool it is that they leave a journal on my counter which documents each walk with little notes and stories.

From the very beginning, the entire process was easy, professional, and reassuring. Barbie, the owner, was incredibly responsive and took the time to answer all of our questions. We asked for her honest opinion about whether 15-minute or 30-minute visits would be more appropriate for Harper, and we really appreciated that she gave us thoughtful, unbiased advice based on his needs rather than simply recommending the longer visit. That honesty gave us a great deal of confidence that Harper's well-being was always the priority. Our sitter, Lindsay, was absolutely wonderful. She was kind, caring, and clearly took the time to get to know Harper rather than simply stopping by to complete a checklist. The updates after each visit were one of our favorite parts of the service. We received thoughtful notes and videos by text after every visit. We especially appreciated that everything came through text rather than requiring a separate app. The communication was outstanding and gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. We genuinely looked forward to Lindsay's notes and videos after each visit. Her thoughtful updates let us follow Harper's progress throughout our trip, and it was wonderful to see him become more and more comfortable with her. When she told us he had even let her pick him up, we knew just how much trust he had developed. When we arrived home, Harper was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Lindsay even left us a thoughtful handwritten note and drawing, which was such a sweet personal touch. We couldn't have asked for a better first experience with a professional pet sitter. We will absolutely use this service again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate in-home pet care.
