Our generally-anxious-but-dog-loving girl could not be more obsessed with YD! In addition to getting her weekly ya-yas out, YD has helped her build much needed confidence -- she jumps in cars now, when she previously cowered, and she's much more comfortable with other humans. Grateful to have a place we trust with our baby! read more

Yo! Dogwalker is the ONLY place I will send my mini Goldendoodle! He is in HEAVEN when he's there and Bob has assembled the best staff that has been taking care of my puppy since he was only a few months old (had just finished all his vaccines) . He's truly so happy there that when I tell him he's going, he runs to the door awaiting his pickup. Special shoutout to Roxy, with whom my Jack is fully in love! When he's boarded there, he goes on hikes too which is an amazing additional service! The pickup and drop off has been wonderful as well, and makes things so convenient! Cannot recommend them enough! read more

If you're looking for a dog walking service that genuinely cares for your pup, YO Dog! is the absolute best. Allan munguia is our favorite daily hiker from YO! Allan comes to the house to pick up Ripley (my dog) and take him for hikes and gets him out of the house for 2-4 hours. Ripley explodes with excitement every single time Allan meets him at the door--it's honestly the highlight of his day! Allan is an incredible communicator, always letting me know when he's on his way and when he's safely back with Ripley through the Yo Dog App and text. The updates he sends are the sweetest, with so many amazing pictures of Ripley having a blast with the other pups. I especially love that he posts his Strava recap after their adventures. It gives me a great sense of how far they've walked and what kind of exercise Ripley got that day. As a dog owner himself, Allan truly understands how important it is to care for other people's animals as if they were his own. Ripley is my baby, and it means the world to me to have found someone I trust so immensely to take care of him. Thank you, Allan, for being Ripley's favorite person to hike with! read more

We love Yo Dog! We were initially hesitant to send our 9 month old german shepherd (Remy) to daycare because we'd tried another company and he seemed to hate it. Luckily the staff at Yo Dog are all incredibly dog savvy and patient. Erik especially put in the time and effort to acclimate Remy to the process and make sure that he had a positive experience. Now Remy absolutely LOVES daycare (and especially loves when Erik comes to pick him up!) and pack walks and will happily hop to his spot in the van. The selection process is discerning but fair, ensuring the safety of the dogs. The scheduling is easy, prices reasonable, and variety of services is great. They also host open houses! It's cool to see the place, meet the staff and other dog parents, and watch your pup with their friends. Some daycares feel a little smoke and mirrors, but definitely not Yo Dog. We've now done day care, boarding and walks (including pick up and drop off while we're not home) with great results and without hesitation. Also the photo updates we get are hilarious! read more

Yo Dog Walker - Dog Walkers Near Me

Our dog has been at Yo! Dog for over 4 years and we absolutely love them and trust them to take the best care of her. We have never once worried about her when she's in their capable hands. She loses her mind when she sees the dog bus arrive, her favorite people on earth are her hiking pals, and she is always safe and loved whenever she's in there care, whether for the day or for boarding. They go above and beyond in customer service, communication, and the Yo team truly loves what they do. I would whole-heartedly recommend them and am so grateful that our furbaby is part of their family. Side note, the best way to observe a business is when they don't know you're watching, and because I go on lots of hikes with and without my dog, I often run into Yo on the job or see them from afar. Of course my dog goes nuts with excitement and wonders why she isn't part of the pack that day, but I can attest to the fact that they are *always* 1,000% professional and the dogs are all happy and getting in lots of good sniffs. read more

I know that if I leave Daisy for the morning or the day or the week, she's going to be well-looked after, and kept busy and entertained, not an easy feat with my energy ball. You couldn't find a better place for your dog. Thank you to Bob and the whole team. read more

I have been using Yo Dogwalker since my first dog was a pup and they've been amazing since day one. Whether it's walk, daycare or boarding, I always know they'll take good care of the dogs. I wanted to write an update about my second dog. When I got him, he was very nervous around new people. When Yo first started coming to pick up both the dogs for walks, my new guy would often run upstairs to hide. It has been amazing to see how much he has changed overtime with the loving care of the folks a Yo Dog. He has come out of a shell at daycare and it's so fun to get photos of him playing with all the other dogs. And he no longer runs away when any of his pals come to pick him up for his daily walks. Everyone who works at Yo Dog is amazing. Then, the other day, when I was walking the dogs myself, we spotted one of their regular walkers, Alan, on the street. Ernie (my nervous dog), who usually shies away from other people on walks, practically pulled me down the sidewalk so he could barrel his way into Alan for a hello and some scratches. It truly made me so happy to see how much this once nervous boy loves his Dogwalker. I also appreciate how they don't let dogs board who haven't used their services before. I feel good sending my dogs there, knowing that the other dogs are safe and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

My dog Richie and I have had such a wonderful experience with Yo Dog Walker! They have been very reliable, friendly, and genuinely care about all of the pups! Richie is always so excited to see his fav Josh and explore the neighborhood with his friends on his daily walk. Richie is a little bit older and sometimes needs some extra care. Josh and the team is very understanding and helpful when it comes to Richie's special quirks. Their communication is great as well! I always get timely updates and photos, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. It's really nice knowing my dog is in such good hands. Thank you for taking such great care of Richie!! read more

We are coming up on our one year anniversary of sending Violet to Yo! So I thought it would be time to review. She goes 5 days a week when I'm working and has also boarded for a few long weekends and also a full week when I was out of town for work. The process has been pretty great because they pick up and drop off so that is very helpful, and when I'm traveling it is no different for her than daycare because she knows all the people and the place so I know she is never stressed out. And the daily photo updates are so fun to receive. I can see her enjoying playing with her friends and getting that energy out. Erik does pick up most days and he is patient with her when she is a little timid of getting in the van. (car rides used to be scary but I think we are almost over that) And I can always tell when Taylor is taking the photos and hanging with her because her smile is even bigger. All of the employees we have interacted with are so great I can't name them all. Great group of dog lovers who care for my girl as if she was their own. read more

Yo Dog is the BEST!!! We do daycare and boarding consistently over the last 3 years. My louie gets so excited when they come pick him up, and is all smiles every time I get an update. They take the pups health and safety seriously which I really appreciate, the whole team communicates well and really do love their pack. Louie seems especially bonded to Eric and Roxy -- always asking for belly rubs the minute he seems them! Couldn't raise this crazy boy without Yo Dog. Thanks Bob and team. read more

Yo Dog Walker - Dog Walkers Near Me

BEST DISCOVERY OF THE YEAR! Bob and his team are incredible. My young shepherd has boundless energy and it had become unmanageable for me even with multiple walks each day. Socializing at daycare has been transformative. He's gone on a couple of the hikes as well and those also went great. I was so incredibly impressed with Bob's vetting process, to ensure my dog would be a safe addition to daycare. I explored a number of other Burbank daycares and none of them showed the expertise or made the effort that Bob did during our assessment. Bob also handled the first day introduction of my dog into daycare, with such ease and knowledge. There are so many great people working at Yo who have taken the time to get to know my dog. Their communication system is excellent, response time is immediate and it's so easy to book services on the app. This is one of those businesses that you don't really want to tell other people about because you don't want it to be overrun with new clients, but it's been such a help to me/my dog that other pet parents in need should know there actually is a great option available. read more

Yo Dog Walker is THE VERY VERY BEST. My dog has been going here for a few months for dog daycare, group walks, hikes, and even boarding, so I say this with full confidence. The entire team has taken care of Julio like he's their own (better than I do tbh), and he is always running out the door into their arms the second they show up for pickup and never looking back, which doesn't hurt my feelings at all or anything. Bob and the whole team (I've worked with Jesse, Kate, Roxy, Mauricio, Jerry, and Ethan so far) have perfected the process of taking care of the dogs in their care, and staying in communication all day with photos, minute by minute updates on things like pickup and drop off, and my absolute favorite update -- the insanely adorable poop report. On the days he goes to daycare, he apparently has to be dragged out to leave at the end of day and comes back exhausted and happy. On walk and hike days, he is equally well exercised and a chill dude when he comes back. He knows the beep of Roxy locking her Prius when she comes to grab him so well that he'll wake up from a deep sleep to run and whine at the door. He's also become better socialized and a well trained gentleman on the leash because of the thoughtfulness they put into the pack they've curated. Also hugely helpful is the care they put into going above and beyond - my dude has been working on separation anxiety and managing the summer heatwave with his husky coat. On request, every team member has gone out of their way to turn on the AC, get him fresh water, pull a Kong from the freezer, and even put it in his crate when he adopted a fun new habit for a week of eating my shoes out of boredom. I cannot say enough great things about Yo, but if my novel isn't enough, just take a look at the photos they've sent me of him at daycare - happiest camera hog ever!! read more

We love Yo! Dog Walker! Our dog, Sally, especially loves Yo Dog. She's over the moon excited when she's picked up for daycare or boarding. We've never seen her this excited to leave us before (full body wiggles and kisses for anyone from Yo Dog that comes to pick her up). Not only is scheduling extremely easy, everyone that works at Yo Dog is professional, responsible, sweet, and truly loves dogs. Even though we already know Sally is having the best time, we love getting the daily updates/pics of our fur baby. We are never worried when Sally is in Yo Dog hands. read more

The Yo Dog team is truly incredible and treats my pup like their own. I know she's in good hands while I'm at work. The photo updates always make my day and team is super communicative and friendly. Their booking system is also easy to use. My schedule can change last minute so appreciate their flexible cancellation. Can't recommend them enough read more

simply the best hiking and day care facility. We've been clients for several years and are continually amazed at how wonderful and caring the staff is. They truly love dogs!! read more

The staff here are friendly. I can tell the dogs are always in good spirits every time they're on a walk with one of the walkers

Breadsticks, as she's been renamed by the Yo team, loves her hikes, camp and overnights. She's been going to the Zone for three years. The staff sends updates, pictures, and Breadsticks runs to see them when they arrive. The pick up and drop off is such a gift. Bob and his team care about the health of all of the dogs. I also appreciate the eta's for pick up and drop offs, so helpful! I live for Breadsticks making an appearance on the Yo ig! My baby is a little introverted and the team has helped her come out of her shell a bit. I'm grateful for the level of care and love they provide. It sets my mind at ease when I am focused on work--I know she is getting belly rubs, nose scritches and the rest. Thank you Bob and the amazing Yo team for keeping the pups safe and happy! Breadsticks loves you all! read more

This review is long overdue but if you are looking for any dog care services from walks, hikes, daycare, boarding, save yourself time and make the best decision for your pup by choosing Yo! Dog Walker. Their services have made it possible for me to have a dog during grueling residency training and filled in a critical gap in dog care with an unpredictable schedule including 24hr call since I don't have family locally. I trust them unequivocally with my red fox Lab, Orlagh, who goes on hikes nearly every day of the week with the Yo! pack. From moment one, every member of Yo! has been excellent in terms of communication and reliability, and my otherwise shy girl leaps with joy when they come to pick her up from the house (special shout out to Mauricio who from day one made my pup feel safe, happy and excited to go for walks with strangers in a new city), Janel, Destiny, Magdalena, Erik, Brando, Jeremy, Georgie (and I know I am missing people and truly, everyone is wonderful). More recently, Allan has been making sure that she returns well exercised and tired from her hikes and I can rest easy knowing that she has had a great day and is napping until I get home. I was worried about how my pup would walk on a leash in a pack and if she would adjust to life in the big city of LA coming from a rural place and Yo! Dogwalker has made all the difference. Every person at Yo! Dogwalker has a passion for dogs and making sure they are healthy, happy and safe in their care and it shows every day. Look no further - join the pack and I promise you won't regret it! read more

They love your dog like you love your dog!! They pick them up for walks, daycare the whole thing, and my dog is legitimately more excited to see them than she ever is when we come in the door. That's testament enough in my opinion. WE LOVE YO!! read more

Our dog is an OG client at Yo Dog and we honestly don't know what we would do without them. They offer great services and for daycare come pick up your dog in a doggie bus! We fully trust them with our pup and can rest easy when we have to board him for several days. We had a long period where we couldn't send him due to surgery and they constantly checked in on his recovery and even came by with get well treats! We love this business sooooo much. Highly recommend! read more

Our fur kid was the last member of the unofficial NELA pandemic Corgi puppy tribe to join the Yo Dog family. We wish we had done it sooner! Our puppy just doesn't go on walks with us. She's been making progress from these weekly walks; easily worth the price! An added bonus is the extra socializing with so many oppas and unnies; she literally looks up to grown up dogs and feels safer in a pack. Once she hears the door knock it's "bye felicia" to the pawrents and she is gone down the sidewalk. She comes back tired, happy, and a smile for a mile. They have requirements standard for the industry: vaccinations (side eye to anti-vaxxers with dogs) and a temperament pre-screening interview. The staff takes these very seriously; the safety and health for all doggies is a serious concern for the business. YDW uses the Time To Pet mobile app; pretty basic yet simple and effective. Scheduling is done via the app too. Yo Dog will send a photo or two from each walk. And their insta-story will have a video collage of various walks from the day. Once our girl grows up, we plan to drop her off for daycare stays. read more

They've both walked and we've had our dogs go to their boarding facility. They always send pictures and our dogs always are smiling!

My dog is obsessed with Yo Dog. The entire daycare team is so sweet, kind, and lovable to the dogs - my 1.5 year old dog comes home tired and happy after a fun day of play. Communication is clear, pickups / drop-offs are timely. Getting emailed photos while my pup is at daycare brings a smile to my face every time. Highly recommend! read more

We've been sending our dog Lemon to Yo Dog for months and it's been the best experience for him and us! When he sees Alice coming to pick him up in the morning, he runs to the door, wagging his tail like crazy. He loves it! And honestly, we love it too! So easy to book hikes, walks, daycare days or overnight stays. The entire team has been absolutely amazing. We've done group hikes together with the team and other owners. They even hosted a Halloween party and it was so fun! We recommend Yo Dog to EVERYONE because we know that the people working there take care of the dogs like their own. THE BEST! read more

Yo Dog Walker - Lemon enjoying the sun with his new friends! - Dog Walkers Near Me

It's been my dream ever since I was a child to have an Aussie Shepherd, but as someone who lives alone and works a regular 40-hr work week outside of the home, I never thought it would be possible. But Yo Dog has helped me make that happen and I couldn't be more grateful to Bob and his team. I got my now 2 yr old pup Azul during the height of the pandemic (never got to work remotely) and needed a way to safely socialize and exercise him while I was working. We've been using their walk, daycare and boarding services since Azul was 6 months old and they have been wonderful! Bob and his team are very communicative, and it's easy to schedule services in their app. Azul loves all the walkers and has made some good puppy friends at daycare. Plus they take some epic pics! We love Yo Dog! read more

LOVE this company so much. Bob, the owner is fantastic and he and his staff really care about dogs. Pre-Corona they would pick up our dog, take her on a 45 min walk (with her doggie friends) and drop her back off. We consistently had Rob for our area, and our dog Robbie loves him. But, all the walkers are great and very professional and trustworthy. They also offer daycare and overnights, which we utilized as well. Note - during corona we can't have anyone come to our house obviously, but they do offer contactless drop off for daycare and overnights on a limited basis. Call for details. But if you or your doggie needs a break from all the craziness, I'd highly recommend a trip to Yo. Note - (Pre-corona) For a fee, they typically offer home pick-up/drop off for daycare which is incredibly helpful if you can't get there before or after work yourself. read more

Requests, edits, cancellations, etc. And you can message them direclty on the app. 3) They offer multiple services including dog walks, hike walks, daycare and boarding! We really trust them with our 2 pups. Couldn't ask for more! 10/10 recommended!! read more

I have never been so disappointed by a company before. I have been a longtime customer, since early 2021. My dog has gone on a pack hike once a week for nearly a YEAR. Her walkers have always had amazing feedback about how Dara behaves during these WEEKLY hikes. Today, Bob, the owner, who I have truthfully always disliked (the walkers are WONDERFUL) sent me the messages below. Bob is dramatic, abrasive, and rude. Bob's attack on Dara after I pushed back kindly on a schedule REQUEST feels reactive, retaliatory, and reveals his long held bias against my Pit Bull breed dog. Not to mention, Bob has posted recently on social media wanting additional new clients. You're a sad excuse for a business owner. I truly hope that the amazing employees: Shay, Mauricio, Claire, and Jeremy find somewhere else to work or start their own company. You know how to work with dogs and have wonderful energy. Because of this, I cannot in good faith recommend this service. In response to Bob: I did not say I would take to Yelp and social media because of the scheduling request. As included in my review, I called you AFTER receiving your response that said you no longer wanted us as customers. Please stop lying, Bob. Also, I have not taken down the screenshots of the messages you've sent me. I will continue to post them. The screenshots are clear as day, you gave no option to work together as your response implies. We know that this came down to money and this gave you an opportunity to push us out. You told me on our phone call that I give you "$180 a month" and it's not worth it for you. As I mentioned, if I could have afforded more per week, I would have done so. Dara's walkers would no doubt have a very different story to tell about Dara's behavior. Not to mention, her Canine Good Citizen results and no bite history speak for themselves. read more

I do not have enough good things to say about these folks. Kind, attentive, communicative, they really do the extra mile. My new pup was very shy when I first adopted him but the team at yo! was patient and supportive and I really think they were an instrumental part of bringing him out of his shell. He is now one of the most social pups at daycare and at home! They give him so much love and I will be sending my pup there for as long as they'll have him! read more

Excellent dog walking - our little guy is extremely happy to run out the door for walks every single time. He returns nice and tired, and falls asleep likely dreaming of his fun times with friends.

We used the service for three years. Originally the service was excellent, with well intentioned owners and high touch communication. Lately staff turnover and overworked employees have led to dog fights and kennel cough. Poor training, failure to adhere to protocols, and too much growth have caused us to leave. The service is insanely expensive for dogs fighting and catching diseases. Poor communication and cruelty just compounds the problem. Hard pass. read more

The only place in LA I feel comfortable leaving my pups when I'm away, and far and away my favorite daycare. The dogs go BOUNDING out the door when they see the (very convenient) pickup van, and they come home happy and exhausted from playing all day. I live the videos we get throughout their stay, and I've been particularly touched by the extra care they give to my cranky senior dog. The attention to detail, personal care, and love for the dogs make this place above and beyond the competition. The dogs aren't treated like part of a business, they're treated like part of the family. read more

My dog has been going here for a month and it has been great for her! My rescue pup is shy around new people and I work from home but wanted her to get some socialization and have some fun during the week.

They also send you pictures and updates during the day and I live for those updates haha. Highly recommend! read more

I can't say enough good things about the team at Yo! When I first got my pup Lux, she was a bit nervous around new people. I was concerned about hiring a dog walker but when I reached out to Yo, Bob scheduled a time where he came over to meet my pup, reassuring me about the process and was able to communicate to his team our needs. Six years later, Lux looks forward to having her friends at Yo take her out, greeting them at the door ready for belly rubs and my favorite part of the day is getting the email with photos from her walk. Every member of the team is a gem and makes leaving her at home while I'm at work a bit easier. read more

Yo is the BEST. Our doodle Barky loves their group walks and daycare, and always comes home happy and tired. They're awesome about communication, too.
