the continuance... On the morning of August 4th around 9:30am, I made the call to Guardian Animal Aftercare and spoke with Justin inquiring about their cremation and viewing services (e.g. logistics, payment, availability) subsequent to the phone call that I had made to Choice Veterinary Care. Following the services provided by Choice Veterinary Care and the passing of my beloved angel fur baby Toby Tobias Ko @ 11:11am who entered into Rainbow Bridge Heaven; Toby Tobias Ko was taken to Guardian Animal Aftercare around 12:30pm for preservation preceding the viewing and cremation services for the scheduled morning of August 5th @ 10am. A gentleman met me in the back of the building with a rolling steel table. As I teared, kissed and hugged Tobias; I struggled to let go. He then proceeded to lift Tobias onto the table along with the blankets that I had included with so much sympathy, grace and consideration. Tobias was taken away from me and that was probably one of the hardest moments in my life ... As the morning of August 5th came with great anticipation, I entered into the viewing room @ 10am. There was a beautiful vibrant colorful landscape wall mural painted of grass, trees, mountains and a bright blue sky. Adjoining the mural lay Tobias so peacefully, cleaned, groomed and covered with a soft grey and white trellis baby blanket, his head resting gently on a plush pillow and a gorgeous red fleece blanket situated under his entire body for support and comfort. There was fresh flowers nestled under the blanket and positioned onto the pillow, next to his chest that was parallel to his delicate body. The sounds of water movement from a tabletop waterfall fountain transcended throughout the room. My anxiety and concerns dissipated, I was elated and filled with contentment just knowing that Tobias was treated and handled with so much love, care and compassion. I had personally written a letter from my heart to Tobias which I had placed next to the flowers in addition to some of his favorite treats. A family member ran late due to traffic on the commute from OC to Sun Valley, Guardian Animal Aftercare was thoughtful and gave us all the time we needed to say our goodbyes. Once we were ready for the cremation process, we were taken into the back of the facility along with Tobias where we watched Justin and another gentleman place Tobias onto a large metal tray and into a huge furnace where they waited for our cue prior to closing the furnace door and commencing operation. The process would take approximately 2 hours or more and we were given the option to wait in the viewing room or come back later. We left and upon our return, Justin led us to the back where we were able to view Tobias's remains and completely contain his ashes. Guardian Animal Aftercare provided a complimentary beautiful cedar box with Tobias's name engraved attached with a cute locket and key, Tobias's ashes wrapped in a velvet blue bag, his clay paw imprint, his fur clippings, certification of deceased and a condolence letter. I want to personally thank Justin and Guardian Animal Aftercare for going above and beyond, not just for the love and care but for the treatment and handling with respect to Tobias. Not once did any of the staff interfere or rush my family with the viewing and cremation service. Guardian Animal Aftercare was the best decision I made for Tobias. Thank you so much for making the very last moments and my very last memories with Tobias perfect. Toby Tobias Ko now you can run, play and be free just know that you will always have a home with me. You are my world now until the end of time. I love you always. read more

I hope this review helps others like ourselves. If we could give 10 stars we would. First time going through this. Of course we looked at other companies too, reading reviews and making calls. Guardian Animal Aftercare had so many positive great reviews. We called on a Saturday speaking to Caroline who helped us during this difficult time. Answering and informing what we needed to know. That when it was time they would come to our home or vets office ( or bring and deliver ourselves. No thank you ). Our little soldier found peace at 2245 Sunday. VCA asked what we wanted to do with Jackson AKA Mr Pudding. Once we said Guardian Aftercare, they said great and they would pick him up at noon. Guardian didn't know I was there to watch the transfer. It was was very respectful how they transferred from the vet to Guardian vehicle then to the Guardian center. The location your loved one is transported to is in an industrial part of San Fernando. Building on the corner with painted walls with animals on the outside walls. Parking in the back. He was given a QR code so he is tracked while waiting. I spoke with the manager Helen and she was very sympathetic to our pain. We had small requests and they were sooooo nice to accommodate us. We just wanted him to be cremated with his favorite shirt. We opted to get the cast paw print with a snippet of hair next to it. And a black nose print. Also two very nice simple wooden urns. One for us and one for his original handler. All together extremely fair priced. Sad and heart broken, they were amazing in the aftercare for our little man with such class. Do yourself a favor by taking your friend there! To Helen,Caroline and Cody for making a difficultly situation such a pleasant experience Thank you, PO 2 Habel read more

Unfortunately this was the first time going through something like this. Our family had just lost our family dog of 10 years. Thankfully the staff at guardian made this process smooth for us. They treated us with such genuine kindness. We were initially supposed to get our dog's ashes back in two weeks and we got him back in 5 days. The box urn with his name on it is so beautiful along with the clay paw prints. Although this was a loss for our family, we really appreciate the staff and how beautiful everything came out. Thank you again!!! read more

Okay... if you have to go here, you're really sad. Losing a pet is losing a family member to the majority of us. I had a friend who used this place when her dog passed away. We went there the morning after my sweet cat passed away. It was a Sunday and Cody was there to answer all of our questions, and if there was anything we didn't get answered completely, he said he would have Helen call me the following day. I had a lot of questions: how do you KNOW they're legit? how do you know they still have your animal once they've taken their body? how do you know you're getting YOUR animal back? how do you KNOW they aren't being thrown out and ashes of something else is given to you...? This would be an easy business to NOT do the right thing, and how would anyone know??? On Monday I spoke with Helen, who could not have been more pleasant and understanding about this difficult time and the questions I had. As 'morbid' as it is, I asked her if I could come down sometime to see the back room and how they do things. I HAD TO. I needed to know I would be getting MY cat back. She DID NOT HESITATE to say yes, please come down that day. So I did. They do not do cremations on Mondays, so that was the perfect day to come by, although she said they welcome clients ANY day for a tour if they would like. The back room did not have animals ready for cremation since it was Monday, but they do have a large refrigerator and a large freezer to keep them in. She showed me the "individual cremation" machine. She had told me over the phone that it is actually 5 chambers, but they are completely separate from each other, so you know you are getting just your animal's remains back. Seeing it in person, while not pleasant to think about, absolutely put my mind at ease. Once I could see for sure that my cat would be cremated solo, I felt a lot better about the whole process. She also showed me their computer system and how each animal has a QR code tag on them. That QR code is scanned BEFORE any step is performed. Their system does not allow anything to happen if the step before has not happened yet. For example: if someone takes your animal to do the cremation, but the paw prints have not been made yet, they would scan the QR code and it would basically say "NO! STOP!" I asked Helen if she had been in the refrigerator before and was okay with it. She said yes she had been in many times. I then asked if she would mind going in and taking a picture of my cat in her little pillow. I said I don't need to see her head or a detailed photo, I just need to know she is in there. She said no problem and came back and showed me a photo on her phone of my sweet girl. I HAD to ask. I had to know she was there where they said she was. I advocated for her entire life for her. I had to still do that now until I got her home. I don't post reviews often, but I felt like I had to for this. I can tell my friends and family that THIS is the place to use when you lose an animal and want to have them cremated. I can tell them with complete certainty that they take very good care of your animal's remains, they are polite and respectful, and have ZERO reservations about you coming in to see their facility. If any place does, or says sure, you can come in in 2 or 3 days, don't use them, go here. I felt I did what many people probably don't want to do, and that's why I had to post this, in case it helps a hard decision become a little easier. It's weird seeing the machine that your animal's remains will go into... but I had to know everything was what they said it was. And it was. I urge you to call them or visit if you have any questions. If you go by on a cremation day and want to see the back, you will see animals back there who have passed away, but peace of mind is important. read more

We have had a tough year, our vet recommended Guardian Animal Aftercare when our heart was torn and had to say goodbye to our beloved Shih Tzu Lyla. Anyone that is grieving when they have to say goodbye to a cherished loved one you know the heartache that comes with that, we all wish they were with us forever. We have since lost our other two pups since then and we have used them each time. The pups are cremated in a nice cedar box and come with a circle paw print with a swatch of their fur. I am pleased with the care they provided for our three pups. read more

At a most difficult time, it was an unexpected comfort to be offered cremation for our precious doggie through the Emergency Care Vet.

Recently one of my best friends, Lucky, has passed away, my heart aches, it's been a week, and i still can't believe it. :( He was cremated in this location. I'm very satisfied with the service.

They made such a tragic time easier by being so sweet. Thank you everyone I talked to was beyond nice.

My precious bunny passed away Friday, September 22, 2017 at 12:40am at the care of Access/City of Angels Animal Hospital. I was beyond distraught. Access works with Guardian Animal Aftercare for their cremation services. Everything is done through the hospital. You fill out the paperwork at the hospital and pay the hospital directly. The hospital sends your pet to the crematorium for you. The crematorium does their service and your pet's remains are mailed to you via FedEx. They package everything very thoughtfully and with care. I did have a problem where I did add on the custom paw print at an additional $30 charge. I did not receive my paw print. This was not the crematorium's fault. The hospital failed to check the box necessary to let Guardian know that I wanted it. When I called to ask if the paw print was sent separately, the man on the phone was very kind and explained why the print wasn't made. I knew there was no way to get one since my bunny was ash. I was sad, but understood it was not their fault. The man was very kind. I feel that the price is actually reasonable for what the service includes. Your pet is returned to you in a cedar wood urn. Your pet will have an engraved name plate on the top with their name. The hardware is gold and has an included gold lock and keys. Inside, your pet's remains are put in a zip top bag (to keep them safe) with a sticker attached that verifies your pet's name and that is placed in a nice velvet bag for safe keeping. On top of the velvet bag, there is a poem printed on cardstock. The presentation is quite nice and it makes you feel that your pet was loved to end, even by strangers. You will receive a letter from the crematorium offering condolences and possible therapies if necessary. You also receive a certificate that your pet was individually cremated. My normal vet works with a different crematorium. I can say that this crematorium takes more care than the previous one I worked with. They are upfront with all costs and what you should expect to receive. read more

My fiancés dog of 12 years recently passed we was devastated by the unexpected loss and we was looking for a place that would cremate her for us. so that way we can keep her part of the family and as i was looking online i stumbled upon this place Guardian animal aftercare so i gave them a call and i ask them about there services and pricing they was super nice on the phone took down my information and the name of my pet and they also confirmed the spelling was correct for my pet they told me that i could bring her in the same day if i wanted but no rush the pricing was very reasonable and i didn't have to pay up front i was allowed to pay once the services had been rendered so i dropped off my animal they took great care of her remains gave us back her doggie blanket all nice and folded up for me and told me that they would call me in a few days so it was Friday when i dropped my animal off and they called me as soon as Monday morning i was impressed by how fast this was done and when i went back my pets ashes where in a very nice elegant wooden box with a lock on the front and there was a plaque on top with my pets name on top very neatly written they also offered me a extra service to have a clay imprint of her paw for only a few dollars extra it came in a nice little bag with a pink bow i have to say i was very impressed with there services i would recommend them for anyone who's looking for these type of services my fiancé was very pleased to now have her doggie back home where she belongs with us resting in peace! read more

We just lost our beloved hamster, Hamilton "Hammy" Burrito Taco Curtis Leroy Januszewski-Mendoza III. She was my first pet that was my very own. Needless to say, losing her was a big thing. We knew Hammy was sick for about two months prior to sending her to the Big Wheel In The Sky. So, I worked with Guardian to plan ahead of time. Cody was SO amazing. He always responded within a day and was not just thorough but also caring. What a wonderful soul. The cedar box engraving and the paw prints turned out just beautifully. I hope that, someday when it's my turn to go, whoever helps my loved ones through it is as good as Cody. They respect and honor your pet as a family member. read more

I've never lost a pet before, so I was having a very hard time after my cat died suddenly. I appreciated how kind the people were with me on the phone and that they were patient as I tried to decide what options I wanted.

One week ago today, I had to say goodbye to my beloved dog Darby, who passed away at the age of 16-1/2. Once again, the incredible Dr. Yamamoto and Summer from Peaceful Pets came and helped my boy pass. Yesterday, my Darby came home. Guardian did another wonderful job, placing my boy in a beautiful wooden box, with his name on the top. They made a perfect paw print, and, surprised me with a simple silver heart necklace with my favorite passage: "no longer by my side, but forever in my heart." I will treasure all of these things, as well as the kindness of both Guardian and Peaceful Pets, for the rest of my days. read more

We wanted an individual cremation for our greyhound with Guardian after VCA's recommendation. I've had another greyhound who passed 3 years ago in SF (adopted at the same time than Trigger in Europe). I feel that I didn't have the same options and she was sent far away for cremation. It was beautiful to see Trigger again and in such beautiful condition. The flowers were an important touch to me when his body went, he would of loved that as he was always smelling plants and flowers. Guardian seem to have so much respect for animals, I felt it strongly and it was the best possible closure I could have expected this morning. I went back to pick him up few hours later the same day. Their services were impeccable and eased my pain on the loss of Trigger. Guardian took care in every step of the process. Thank you so much ! read more

Been meaning to write this review but I was still in mourning/grieving mode from the loss of my beloved pet soul mate. My fur-baby meant the world to me and she still does.My husband and i couldn't decide whether to have her buried at a pet cemetery or cremated. We finally made the decision for cremation knowing she would always want to be with us and her remains will always be with us no matter where we move. We were thinking of going with a different company but we decided to go with Guardian Animal Aftercare since the vetenarian hospital recommended them. Plus I had seen on yelp that they offered a viewing service before cremation just like for humans before burial. We called and made the reservations for them to pick up my pet's body from the hospital and set up the date of cremation with a viewing service the morning before the cremation process. The day of the service my husband and I woke up early to make sure we would pick up her viewing service flowers on time when my husband received a phone call from Guardian aftercare. The man was apologetic that there had been a mistake. The technician had accidently cremated my fur-baby the evening before! They stated the technician did not go over the notes. I understand there is always going to be human error and mistakes but this mistake should never be made. How can someone put a pet's body for cremation without going over the notes? And if the technician did not go over the notes how did they know what type of cremation I wanted? ( private, individual, mass). To make things right they did not charge me for any of the services but that didnt make anything right for me. I felt robbed from saying my last final farewell :'( read more

We are so grateful that we found this company at our time of need for the loss of our beloved pet Molly. They came to the house to pick up our baby. We were confident she was in good hands.

The cedar box with her ashes is a beautiful tribute of love and caring. Thank you Guardian Aftercare for the love and dignity you have given. Dennis and Sherry read more

The staff is very professional and caring during a very difficult time. We had our pot belly pig cremated here and the staff walked us through the entire process with empathy, dignity, respect, and compassion. They called us on the morning that we were having our pet euthanized and expressed sympathy and to let us know that they knew she was coming and had everything ready. We had a hoof print made and it was beautifully done, they even made sure we got the ribbon color that we wanted. I am very impressed with Guardian and will be using them again for our other pets when the time comes. read more

Very compassionate and understanding during a very difficult time. They do a wonderful job taking care of your loved one.

Guardians service was amazing. I spoke with Cody and he really made this hard process easy. He even threw in an engraving of my kitty's dates for free. And even though their location is in Sun Valley, they come to Monrovia twice a week I think it was, which was perfect as my vet was also in Monrovia. They were able to pick up my baby boy the next day and I was able to pick him up from the vets office that same week. Their service was so fast with no hassle! Their cedar box is absolutely beautiful and my kitty's ashes were wrapped in a deep purple velvet bag. I couldn't have asked for anything better. On a side note, I hadn't received the dates engraving but with a quick call, Cody apologized and sent one right out to me. To my surprise I got it the next day! Their service is definitely quick and Cody is very kind and understands this situation is never easy. I highly recommend Guardian Animal Aftercare . read more

In the past year and half I have lost 2 of my darling dogs. Both of these special creatures lived to ripe ages and then to be as good to them as they were to me, I had a vet come to my home and put them to rest, in peace. At this point, I was not sure what to do with them and then I remembered that Dr. Audra Mackorkle had a cremation service: Guardian. I lost my older female first so this was the first time I called Guardian. The guy couldn't have been more warm and kind on the phone. He was very sensitive about ordering the whole pickup process and then gently gave me the choices of cremation (group, individual, etc.). What I like about them is that they are extremely careful to keep your pets ashes separate from anyone else's if you've ordered individual cremation and also, they have the ashes blessed which I really appreciate although both pets were blessings already :) The ashes were then deilivered to my home in a tasteful wooden box with a brass placard engraved with her name on it and then a prayer inside. It meant so much and felt good to see this. In having such a caring experience with Guardian when my older female, I called on them again a few years later when I lost my second dog to old age and it was equally kind and caring service. I believe I paid around $300 for each dog to be cremated and delivered to me. It was well worth it and I would recommend them to anyone who is going through the difficult process of losing a loved pet and searching for a trustworthy and caring place to pick up their remains and handle them with dignity. I am so grateful for my experience with them. read more

I just recently lost my kitty. She had been with me for over 20 years. That is longer than some friends or even for some family. She was my family. It is so hard to lose your best friend and fur baby. I came home today after a long work week and my husband had picked up our kitty's ashes. I immediately started to cry. The box is so utterly beautiful with her name on it and the paw print cast was so touching. They even made little hearts on it and had that engraved with her name as well. Thank you so much for caring and taking the time to really make something so hard just be a little bit easier. Guardian Animal Aftercare is a wonderful service. Thank you from our hearts. Thank you for taking care of our kitty in such a respectful way. read more

I can't begin to express the gratitude my family and I have for Guardian Aftercare. Gabriel, Sue and Mark helped us with this most difficult and painful time. In the past two months we have had to say goodbye to three of our beloved doggie companions. They had lived full and long lives and it was time to let them go. In all three cases they stayed open long past regular hours waiting for us to arrive. Giving us as much time as we needed to spend preparing to make our separation. Mark and Gabriel met us at our cars each time with a beautiful blanket and flowers to transport our precious joys. On Tuesday we had to let got of our precious Maddie. We asked that our sweet little girl be cremated in her bed. Gabriel NEVER questioned why? He just said yes. Just before Mother's Day we had ashes of two of our dogs entwined in a glass blown necklace. The card indicated that there was only one dog. Gabriel went out of his way to have the card re-printed and ready for Mother's Day. I didn't ask him to do it, he just did. You cannot put a price on this type of compassion or understanding. 5 stars don't do this justice. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The Pepper & Hirsch Family read more

My sweet hamster Maple died Monday March 9th at 12:20pm She was only 1 year and 11 months old...These wonderful people came and picked her up by 2:30pm so I didn't have to drive her there in my condition. I was very emotional when the man got to my house to pick her up and he was very understanding and polite about it. We picked up her ashes Saturday the 14th and I am very pleased with the level of respect they gave my baby. They did not treat her as "just a hamster" but as a member of our family which she was. I will treasure her plaque with her fur and paw prints forever and her ashes will always be in a place of honor in our home. They did a beautiful job and far surpassed my expectations. I will definitely be using their services in the future. They really know how to treat and respect your beloved companions. Thank you Guardian for helping us get the closure we needed! read more

The hardest thing to do is take your beloved pet to be cremated. My cat Tootie passed away at home in the middle of the night on a weekend. Guardian was the only crematorium open on a Sunday morning. They were very helpful. They offered to stay open late if I was having difficulty bringing her. Once there, they asked if I needed time with her in a condolence room. Included in the price was a lovely cedar box with a name plaque, a very nice condolence note from the staff, and a TSA certificate in case I need to take her on a plane. They were compassionate, caring and respectful of my beloved pet. I have another elderly pet at home and it's comforting to know that Guardian will be there when I need them. read more

Seeing a love animal gone is truly heartbreaking. As an RVT I had to put down many animals. Ive been with them when they take their final breaths. Last night, my own dog of 14 yrs took his last in my arms. This place is where they go after my part is done. This place has a big beautiful dog mural, clean, big and spacious. Definently would recommend this place. The people here are super nice and caring. I didnt get the guys name who helped me but thank you very much. Im very grateful for you. We got to say our goodbyes in a nice set up room with tissues and a couch. They took lucky to the back and set him up with flowers in his bed. We send him with our love and headed out. Quick easy process. May we meet again over the rainbow bridge. read more

Thank you so much Lori and Guardian Animal Aftercare for helping me by providing a beautiful cedar box for my dog Baby. My fur friend of 16 1/2 years deserved and now rests in a beautiful cedar box.

They lost my cat's paw prints and took two months to respond when I informed them that I hadn't received the prints. When I did get through to them they did not apologize or express the slightest concern that it had happened. They sent me a check for $30 as though that makes up for their lack of sincerity and responsibility. I wouldn't be writing this review had they apologized or bothered to respond to the email I sent last week expressing my sadness and disappointment in their services.
