Uptown Pup saved me in a huge bind! I was traveling with my dog for the first time and he was not doing well in the hotel. Uptown Pup was able take my dog the same day and provide him daycare for the entire week. They were very responsive and everyone is so nice. Drop off, pickup, and billing was seamless. And they made sure to share lots of photos each day. read more

I never write yelp reviews, but I have to say Uptown Pup is my dog's favorite! There have been daycares he doesn't like, but this one Cowboy goes running inside wagging his tail every time. They have the BEST staff who are so honest and caring and truely have your dog's safety and health in mind always. A few weeks ago, my pup had a completely unrelated medical issue and the staff called me right away, made sure he could chill by himself, and the owner contacted me to check in on him the day after! Absolutely adore the staff and their commitment to keep everyone safe and maintain complete transparency. Literally couldn't recommend them enough. pic is my dog from their IG story read more

Uptown pup what can I say! Massimo's home away from home! Everytime I pick up my dog from a couple of hours of being here he is tired! The uptown staff is amazing and love massimo! There are very few places I trust with leaving my dog for daycare and this is one of them! Love love their extended hours and weekends! They are local to me and frequently drop him off for a fun day at uptown pup! Thanks again! read more

Our pup Mona loves this place! She comes home worn out ready for her dinner and in to bed almost immediately!

We absolutely LOVE Uptown Pup. We live in a loft so there isn't much room for a dog to run around and play. Our dog doesn't do well at a dog park, he's a very anxious dog when it comes to bigger dogs. Having him at Uptown in a supervised play area has been the best! I especially love it when they post stories on their Instagram and I catch my dog running around. Our dog always comes home so tired, we love it. The pricing is affordable. You don't even have to get out of your car when you drop off/pick up -- you call them and they come out to you. They don't offer grooming anymore, but if you boarded your dog -- you can ask nicely if they'll bathe your dog before pick up. Most of the time, depending on availability -- they'll do it. read more

My giant pup loves this place. Everyone at Uptown is super friendly and caring. I'll leave her there a few days at a time so she can play with her buddies. It's like a mini vacation for her lol! The space is large enough where she run around happily. This place is highly recommended by my happy pup! read more

Uptown Pup is great! We live in an apartment and our dog has so much fun when he stops by for daycare or overnight. Our dog loves all of the staff and has made some dog friends at Uptown Pup. I love seeing him on their Instagram stories. All of the staff is incredible, shout out to Eva and Lisa! They are wonderful and I know that I can trust that our dog is safe with them. read more

Updating my review! Ever since I first started coming here around September, I have absolutely fallen completely in love with this daycare. The staff here are like family to Athena, and no matter who greets her she's always going straight to them, tail wagging and trying to kiss them. I always feel safe bringing her here. They are also helpful in updating me on how she is doing and if she had finished her dinner or not. The staff here are also very friendly to me and if it isn't too busy I always have a short conversation with whoever has the night shift. I am also very thankful for Gus, the male staff member in my last review who helped me with her poop fiasco, but Danielle and the other staff members are all great, I wish I could remember all their names so I could just list all of them here. I am still so happy to have found this daycare and will always go here. I do hope one day they open up another spot in the West LA area because all my dog friends need a daycare in that area and I always recommend this one but they always say DTLA is too far :( I highly recommend this daycare for any dog, especially high energy dogs, because my crazy puppy has made fantastic high energy friends here and now she just completely knocks out at home. read more

My husband and I cannot recommend Uptown Pup enough. We have been trusting them with our dog Greyson for quite some time now for grooming, daycare and boarding; Grayson always comes back tired and happy. He's a big boy and can be a little rambunctious at times but they know how to handle his crazy energy and playful personality. Staff is very friendly, helpful and professional. read more

Most friendliest and caring staff. You can tell your dog is having fun and I specifically choose this place over other doggie day care. I highly recommend a place that you can trust and this place is the place. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE AND SO DOES TINSLEY! The staff is amazing. Polite, patient, welcoming and overall very happy people! I love the facility and the environment that the dogs are in! Every time Tinsley drops by and plays with the other dogs, he comes home more excited! And also very tired. Which is great since he has a lot of energy. I highly recommend dropping your dog(s) here! It's a great spot in downtown LA! read more

I love Uptown Pup. This place is great and do a great job at taking good care of our dog, Sasha. Although she isn't a very social dog, she is always very excited to see the people who work here which goes to show how great of a place this is. I recommend Uptown Pup! read more

My dog got injured at this daycare, I took him to emergency that night, went home with insane amounts of vet bills. Dogs playing rough is quite normal, but that's why I prefer taking him to daycare instead of dog park, thinking he'll be in good hand. My dog and I loved it here, every staff members were super friendly to us, and we have been coming for awhile now. It was disappointing as they don't seem to take responsibility for the incident, and they refused to compensate the vet bills due to the waivers. So bear in mind if any happens to your pup here, you're on your own. read more

Great daycare and boarding! They don't keep your dogs in a cage all day. They play with other dogs most of the day so they won't feel as home sick! read more

I LOVE Uptown Pup! My puppy runs in excited and comes out every day smiling. Danielle and the staff are amazing and offer to call and email with updates. Their instagram account is fantastic too for checking in to see how your dog is playing with others. can't recommend enough! read more

My German shepherd loves it here - great for daycare and boarding!! Wonderful caretakers who always return him clean, happy, and tired out.

This is one of many cases of neglect to take responsibility so if you truly want to deal with irresponsible owners (Jason) and border delusional workers (Gus) by all means. But I highly recommend research before this place. My dog Bentley left here limping and they made it seem like that was fine. My dog hikes mountains with me as I'm a disabled Veteran so I would know my dog's ability to walk/run. I spoke with the owner and he calmly explained the situation after Gus And Danielle tried to make their failed case to deflect blame. Gus you watch dogs for a living. WATCH THE DOGS AND CHECK YOUR ATTITUDE. I know the reason why he came limping. It's because you use rubber floors. This IS YOUR FAULT. I'm not alone on this matter many other owners have come forward. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! And so does my husky :) Blu runs in without a care in the world for me and licks the staff. The staff is friendly, trained, honest, and very professional. I don't know what I would do without Uptown Pup as my dog has separation anxiety/isolation distress and cannot be alone while I work. They separate small and large dogs! And they also have a camera at the front that shows you what is happening inside. Parking is very easy and the facility is super clean. I trust my pup there! Peace of mind! Also, love the pricing! For $29/day (the 20 day package), I can afford to take my husky there M-F! Thank you to everyone at Uptown Pup for taking care of Blu! read more

My puppy enjoyed her time here for play date and boarding. The staff was very welcoming and had a great communication the whole time.

Uptown pup completely made up for my pups last visit and gave teddie a free bath after his daycare experience there today so he returned home smelling very nice. The service was fantastic and the staff was very polite and accommodating. Apparently the food mix up was just a miscommunication between staff members which is fine, accidents happen. Teddie had lots of fun and enjoyed his daycare experience here today. read more

Thank you Uptown Pup! Our fur babies Kali and Coco have found their second loving home. Our family travels often for work and soccer, but, life has just gotten so much easier knowing they are always in great hands for a couple of days. Their day consists of well thought out playtime/games, diligent care and Instagram photobombs! My pups love it there! read more

I am the most overprotective dog mom alive and I did not like the idea of daycare but I felt bad leaving our black and white pomeranian at home alone all day while me and the husband were at work. After numerous hours of research on doggy daycare and having tried out a couple of places, me and the hubs stumbled upon Uptown Pup at the recommendation of our friend. Our dog is extremely skittish and was not properly socialized but when she comes out of her shell, she is the smartest and sweetest dog. The first couple of times we took her there, she had a little bit of separation anxiety which was natural. But now our dog absolutely loves it there and wags her little tail at the sight of Jason and Lexi. Jason and Trevor seem to be really knowledgable daycare owners who genuinely care about their business and their furry clients. It was so important for me to find a daycare where I felt Bomi (our dog) will have all her needs met as well as it be a safe playground for her as she is quite small. I also love how they have video surveillance in the front desk. The facility is also very clean and nicely managed. I've been to daycares where it was just filthy and chaotic. Thank you uptown pup and keep up the good work! read more

Great overnight boarding prices! We take our baby girl there when we need a night alone

I'm so happy to have this place in the neighborhood. The staff seems to genuinely love all the dogs, and are always very friendly and welcoming when I bring in my dog Daisy. Everyone at Uptown Pup is happy to converse about how the dogs day / stay went, and will send pictures (if you want) of your pup throughout their stay. Daisy always comes home exhausted, which is a relief / reassuring that she got lots of playtime in. Additionally, the wide array of services offered (or coming soon) make it a one stop shop. The prices are very agreeable. I am very trusting that Daisy is in good hands while she's at Uptown Pup (likely better hands than my own), which is rarely the case. Even were I to live outside of the neighborhood, the staff, their flexibility, the program they have employed, the accessibility of checking in on your dog, and the convenience (and easy parking!) make Uptown Pup unique and my (and as far as I can tell, Daisy's too) top daycare / boarding choice. read more

Words cannot describe how amazing this place is. I have a 7 month 70 lbs. Newfie who is in his chewing faze so we decided to try day care and some training. So far we have taken him twice for day care at this location and I cannot say how much I love it here. I'm a nervous mommy and this was his first time ever going to day care and I didn't know how he would react. I called the day I wanted to bring him, they welcomed me immediately, so friendly and answered all my questions on the phone, and I decided to come in for the evaluation. King passed and he was all set and stayed there for 9am-7pm, was fed lunch and dinner, and had lots of fun. I called once to check in and they filled me in and welcomed me to keep calling as much as I would like. It's a new facility in the heart of DTLA and it is such a cool concept what they did with the building. They will soon have 24/7 surveillance cameras where owners would be able to watch using their phones/computers which I think is awesome. The dogs eat separately which is rare from all my research and they have private kennels. The owners are also there which is nice and shows how dedicated they are. I have met Trevor, the lead trainer, and a few other staff members, and they are all so friendly and you can tell they have genuine love for dogs and would treat your dog like their own. The also have an instagram where they upload photos of your pups throughout the day. King got a report card which details your dogs stay, friends he made, behavior, and comments. It was such a sweet touch! He came home not super dirty and I'm sure he was only dirty due to he has a "let me play with water and lay on it" obsession lol. He came home also super tired which led into the next day meaning he had lots of play time and mommy can have a little break. They have a lot of services they offer - you will NOT be disappointed!! read more

We have been taking our pup, Lil Cooper, here since he was about 11-12 weeks old and we could not be happier with our experience!! Cooper started going to their FREE puppy socialization classes and has since competed Level 1 of training, attended daycare and will begin Level 2 training in a couple weeks!! Cooper has met so many friends (2 and 4 legged) at Uptown and is so exhausted when we pick him up, he falls asleep on the car ride home!! The staff is well trained, incredibly friendly and every time we leave, we find another reason to love them and come back!! Their head trainer, BAILEY, is uh-mazing! She has so much knowledge and is so accessible, it makes training fun and stress-free. This place is a must-see! read more

Great isn't even the adjective to properly explain how much Uptown Pup rocks. This place is Amazing! Uptown Pup has been a safe haven for our cattle dog. He leaves happy and tired (which says a lot If they can tire out a heeler). Staff is reliable, friendly, and consistent. They even go the extra mile by trying to update their insta throughout the day! It's so good to be able to see what the pupkids are doing at Daycare. This facility is the best we've been to in LA -and- is great if you're in film with wild hours! read more

We love Uptown Pup! Update: Still in love with Uptown Pup! We have a couple senior dogs and a puppy...they are all well taken care of, never have to worry about a thing. We feel very confident leaving them in their care! We've been using them (the 'doggy hotel' according to our kids) since they opened. Our Yorkie and Pitbull love it... they are always well taken care of when we go away. The staff is great and it's so nice not to have to worry about our fur babies when we can't have them with us. Couldn't recommend this place more!! read more

I would 100% recommend this place! This was the 2nd daycare we took our pug too and you immediately saw the difference when picking her up. She was always happy to be there and always happy when picking her up. I love that they occasionally post stories on Instagram so I could randomly see her running around having so much fun. read more

A love letter to Uptown Pup in honor of Valentine's Day. It's been three years of taking our dogs to Uptown Pup and we're even happier with them now then we were when I wrote my first review. Jason, his mom, Danielle, Andy and all the staff really care about all the fur kids they watch after. I love getting reports on how they are doing. When they are there, I know they are getting the level of care and attention I would want them to have. They are the only way my husband and I can have peace of mind to travel. We have three pups now and I can't imagine what we would do without the wonderful folks at Uptown Pup. read more

I'm a small business owner who spends a lot of time out in the field training technicians, my dog is a Tibetan mastiff that needs attention while I'm away, Uptown Pup is efficient & most of all I know they are great because my dog is excited to go in when we pull up! Highly recommended! read more

We've taken our pup here for level 1 training and day care. The front staff are usually friendly and the training with Holly several years ago was fantastic. She was so positive, knowledgeable and talented with the dogs, and our pup could not get enough of the class. We all learned a lot and had a blast. Our day care experience was unfortunately similar to some of the negative reviews on here. Our pup is so sweet and loving so it broke my heart to pick him up and find out he hadn't been with the other dogs. I asked about it but the guy at the front just brushed it off that he'd been "a little humpy." I understand if some dogs need breaks and I know our dog is energetic, but he's a 20 pound spaniel without a mean bone in his body and has never had any issues at dog parks, so I wished the staff had explained more to me and reassured me that he'd still had a good time in there. read more

DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG HERE FOR GROOMING. The woman who groomed my doggo cut him with the clippers in several spots, and shaved so close to the skin along his neck and chest that it scabbed over. What's worse is that my dog is f%#king traumatized. His behavior and temperament was completely changed after his grooming session. He freaks out any time I pick up trimming scissors or his brush. As in, violently shaking and growling at me! My sweet zen-doggy is now absolutely terrified of baths and any kind of brushing or grooming. Not to mention his cut was sloppy and uneven and his dew claws were not trimmed. Do not trust them with your fur child!! read more

I was not able to go inside for a tour and left my puppy in "their hands" for the day. The facility (and most reviews) seems to be committed to providing a safe, clean, and fun environment for all dogs. My puppy came home happy and tired after a day of supervised play. I think your dog will always be attended to, as they seem to take their role seriously. read more

Was a little worried with our rescued pittie who gets super excited to play but is kind of socially awkward at times. He also has a bit of separation anxiety from us. He did very well his first day and was pooped out at home. He didn't seem unhappy at all. So far so good! read more

This is the best boarding place in LA, I have two boxers who are full of energy and they LOVE to play at Uptown Pup. Jason is the owner and he has assembled a great staff of knowledgeable people who really know dogs and understand how to treat them and take care of them. I lived in LA for 6 months and dropped them off several times a month when I would leave town, and whenever I was curious about my dogs while away I could call Jason or his staff and they would be very friendly on the phone and give me an update whenever I requested it, gotta check on the babies! I have now moved to Orange County, about an hour away from this place but I STILL drive all the way to Uptown Pup to drop my dogs off each month because I know and trust that Jason is gonna take the best care of my pups. Also, my male boxer has medical needs and they take excellent care of him and give him his required vet medication while I'm away, huge stress reliever. Jason has also helped me with choosing a great brand of food since he has a Boxer mix himself, and my dogs now have a better diet. This is vacation for my Boxers, and they LOVE coming here, I've attached some pictures of them from the Uptown Pup Instagram, which is also a great way to see updates on the business daily! If you're looking for a FUN, SAFE, and great environment for your dogs do not hesitate to come here, your dogs will love it just as much as mine do. Also they offer a really great grooming service, and give great baths, my pups are always clean when I pick them up! Thank you Jason and Danielle!

I originally loved their concept and their training when I started bringing my new pup here. I moved an hour away and continued bringing him. After this week, I realized they need to be a little more organized with their training. They offer free puppy socialization, which is great, but this weekend my pup was the only smaller dog in class so he was asked to leave. I wasn't too upset because it was probably what was best. But I did drive an hour and that was inconvenient to my day. I was told as I left there was a beginning class next week for puppy kindergarten. Great I thought! I emailed the trainer Monday am to get him enrolled and also to set up private lessons for classes 1 and 2 after the puppy kindergarten. I received a response Tuesday night late that there were no classes anymore. But I just saw you Sunday and emailed you less than 24 hours later??? And she ignored my request on the other classes as well. Trust me, if you can't answer me about spending my money, I won't spend it with your business. They need to be more organized for their training. Yes I think Holly is an asset, but you mess with my time, gas, or money TWICE and I will no longer support your business. I'm an attorney that focuses on managing large businesses so customer service drives everything I do - whether as a customer or as the business. Get a sign up list, plan your puppy classes better, something.... But you've definitely lost me as a client for good. I was going to board my three dogs for my upcoming vacation, but I'll save my money and use a better company. The star is because I think the concept is good and Holly has lots of knowledge, but work on your customer service. read more

We live in Downtown LA. We have a rescue dog, a big lovable Pitbull named Porkchop. I consider us so lucky that Trevor, one of the owners, introduced himself on the street before Uptown Pup even opened and gave Porkchop a huge squeeze. Some people might find his appearance a little intimidating but he is a big bundle of love and Trevor saw that right away. I think we were one of the first dog clients knocking on the door when they opened in December. Jason, the other owner and Trevor have been amazing. They know our dog and our dog knows them and I trust them completely to take care of him. We get report cards when we pick him up telling us who he played with and how he did. They are totally understanding of our schedule and accommodating. Most importantly, it is incredible to see how the treatment Porkchop gets at Uptown pup has furthered his training. The staff is so aware of him and how he plays. They allow him to be the best dog ever. He comes home tired and happy which is the easiest way for us to train and maintain a high energy pup. Did I say how much he loves the staff there. We also did a overnight there recently and it was perfect. He had his own suite with his own bedding and was surrounded by people he likes. I really can't say enough about how these guys have made us feel like part of the family. They are a fantastic addition to the neighborhood and have made our little Porkchop a better dog. read more

We brought our 2 rescue dogs, Lola and Tiny Tim to Uptown Pup to be boarded for 4 nights. This was our first time boarding them and the experience was great! My husband was treated very kindly by the owner during the initial meet and greet and when he picked up the dogs after 4 days he said they seemed very happy! This facility really cares for animals and we will definitely use them again! read more

The happiest dogs in LA are hanging out at Uptown Pup. Why would you go anywhere else?! For us, Uptown Pup is way more than a dog daycare facility- they have really become like family. We have used them for daycare, training, boarding and were beyond thrilled with each. From the moment we started going to them, they treated our dogs with the utmost care and love. We have two rescue dogs that have their share of issues; Jason and Trevor really took the time to listen to our worries and reservations. They not only listened, but they took steps to avoid potential problems and really helped our dogs thrive. Our dogs love it there and i mean LOVE it. I love it too because I don't suffer from the guilt that my dogs are alone all day while I'm at work. I know they are having the time of their lives, running around in a clean, beautiful facility that is as large if not larger than some dog parks, I'm able to see photo updates of them on instagram and at the end of the night, they just come home and crash out. One of the sweetest things is when they give you a report card for your dog - you can see what level of energy your dog had that day, who his favorite dog and human friend was, and perhaps how they did in their training session. You might be at work all day, but you stay involved. This level of attention is what puts them at the top of the list! My job is all over the place and it is not uncommon for me to be running late to pick up the boys. On occasion, I would need to call over and request they feed the boys dinner - (they happen to carry some nice, healthy food options there). They are always accommodating, always positive. Positivity radiates from that place - it is part of the culture. And I think that energy affects the dogs (and humans) alike. Prior to this we have tried numerous day care facilities in the LA area. Our dogs would come home smelling like the chemical spray they clean the floors with, or on several occasions, I would be told that one of our dogs needed to be put in solitary because he was badly behaved. I know this would never happen at UP. What makes Uptown Pup so much better than all these places is that they have a system and ways of handling things that really works in the best interests of the dog(s). My dogs now know when we're driving to UP and are jumping out of their skin with excitement. My once shy and timid dog, who would not approach a human when we first rescued him, runs right up to the UP gang, giving them affection. I attribute a good part of his rehabilitation to the folks at UP. Bailey, who heads the training and raw food program, is a fantastic trainer too! She has a wealth of information and really coached us through some difficult times, offering up techniques and methods we could use at home. She really went above and beyond. With all the new businesses opening up downtown, this one really is truly special. A fantastic group of people who genuinely love what they do and it shows! read more
