Great Pet Boarding!  4 Star Rating - Very good

I was going on a trip and felt terrible about boarding my dog. I shopped around and found The Dog House. I particularly loved that it was cage free! The Dogs get to play together, grouped by size and personality. Seeing that he would get to play all day made me feel much better. This place is priced a bit higher than a caged place, but if you feel that your pet is part of your family, this place is fantastic!

PROS: cage free
CONS:

LOVE, LOVE,LOVE THESE GUYS! 5 Star Rating - World class

I love both the vibe and grooming - I took in my Japanese Chin Zak who really needed the works and he came back clean, great cut and with a huge smile on his face. Rather than just sitting in a cage while waiting to get his shower and shave he got to "play" with other pups and had a great, and unexpected, playdate! He was beautifully and meticulously groomed - that HE'S happy make mommy happy. He got the works for $50 and it was worth twice that to see how happy he was. They also take great interest in the pups - Zak was very shy and nervous but they immediately made him feel welcome. I highly recommend Doghouse L.A.!

Pros: Take pets in immediately, opportunity for pet to play
Cons: Better parking

Good for a little local day care... 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

I found this a good option when I don't have another. A little small, and all dogs of all sizes and temperments are mingled, which kinda bothers me. There was no screening process and I did worry for my dogs safety but it has worked out for the most part. Michelle is a doll.

Pros: proximity to work/home
Cons: a little too small

THE WORST grooming ever. 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

I took my maltese to get groomed at the Dog House, and got back a pup that barely resembled my dog. I asked them to take off about half an inch of hair - instead, my maltese was everything but shaved - not to mention that the cut was choppy and her ears were trimmed unevenly! I shouldn't have to pay $55 to have an amateur "groom" my dog. Makes me wonder how good they are at everything else...

Pros: pretty nice staff
Cons: disorganized; terrible groomer, smells really bad

The Best 5 Star Rating - World class

My dog Jackson has been going there for five years. He cannot wait to get there in the morning. He comes home happy, healthy and tired. The staff are like his extended family. I highly recommend The Dog House. The staff is friendly and go the extra mile in service. I know my pet wil be well taken care of.

Pros: Great caring staff

This place rocks 5 Star Rating - World class

I am a regular and they treat me like family. Of course they are going to ask for vaccination records, I wouldn't trust my pets in a facility that dosen't. My dog comes home tired and is happy to be dropped off in the morning. I love this place.
