Doggy Day Care Hollywood Hills

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reliable, Caring, and Extremely Flexible Barbara has been wonderful with Willow. After multiple daycare visits, I can confidently say she is attentive, patient, and genuinely caring. Willow settled in quickly, felt completely comfortable, and spent much of the day relaxed—enjoying belly rubs and napping nearby—which speaks volumes. Barbara was incredibly flexible and accommodating, especially during a longer day of care. She also periodically sent photos of Willow at her home, which was very reassuring and gave me great peace of mind knowing Willow was in excellent care. Willow came home happy and relaxed each time. I truly appreciate Barbara's consistency and reliability and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Whitney and her family were so welcoming to my sweet boy, Frankie. In such short notice, she accepted my request and provided all the accommodations my senior pup needed for the day. She was responsive and attentive to ensuring he felt welcome in her home. Thank you!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was an infant. My first dog, Pooch, was a German Shepherd who joined our family when I was a baby. We grew up together and were best friends until we were both 14, when he crossed the rainbow bridge. Dogs have been my constant companions ever since. By 12, I had started my own neighborhood dog-walking business and was volunteering with local animal rescues. Years later, that passion led me to found Akira Animal Rescue, my foster-based nonprofit specializing in medical dogs and puppies. My experience spans dogs of virtually every size and stage of life — from tiny companion breeds and young puppies to German Shepherds, Siberian Huskies, seniors, and dogs with medical or behavioral needs. Growing up, I also cared for a rescued street dog, a Pomeranian mix, and a Lhasa Apso. Today, I have four dogs of my own, so understanding different personalities, energy levels, boundaries, and needs is simply part of my everyday life. One of my greatest teachers was my senior dog, Akira. When I came into his life at 7, he had experienced a difficult start in life and struggled with trust and resource guarding. With patience, consistency, and structure, he became an incredibly secure and loving dog. Later in life, he developed liver disease and seizures, and I helped manage his medications and medical care until he crossed the rainbow bridge in 2024. He ultimately inspired me to start Akira Animal Rescue. A different kind of Rover stay 🐾 I provide full-time premium daycare and boarding from a private, gated, multi-level compound in the Hollywood Hills. The property gives me something I consider incredibly important in dog care: space, flexibility, and the ability to individualize each dog’s stay. Although I have four dogs of my own, they do not need to reside at the boarding property and can stay at our other home nearby. This means your dog is never expected to simply fit into an established pack. I can make decisions about socialization and playmates based on your dog’s personality, size, energy level, and comfort. I don’t believe every dog needs the same experience. Social dogs may enjoy carefully supervised play with compatible friends, while shy, senior, small, or more independent dogs can have their own space and individual attention. The property allows me to create smaller playgroups and use separate indoor and outdoor areas rather than putting every dog together. New arrivals are also given time to settle in and decompress. Introductions are gradual and based on body language and comfort rather than immediately placing a new dog into a group. I am extremely hands-on and attentive with the dogs in my care. I supervise interactions, learn each dog’s individual personality, reinforce good manners, and tailor walks, play, enrichment, affection, and downtime to the dog in front of me. Don’t be surprised if your dog picks up a new command or trick while they’re here! What your dog can expect: • An AirTag fitted upon arrival and worn throughout their stay • A thoughtful decompression and introduction period • Supervised play and a structured daily routine • Spacious, dog-friendly indoor and outdoor areas • Separate play yards and smaller, compatible playgroups • Walks and enrichment tailored to their energy level and personality • Plenty of individual attention, affection, and downtime • Care from someone experienced with puppies, seniors, medications, medical needs, and a wide range of temperaments My goal is to offer something different from a traditional boarding facility. I want dogs to have the comfort and individual attention of staying in a home, with the space and flexibility to create an experience around their needs. Every booking also helps support the work of Akira Animal Rescue. ❤️ I am fully dedicated to caring for dogs. Pet Care is my job, so you will have a hands on, attentive caregiver for your fur child. Outside of Pet Care, I am a professional marathon runner and do my runs early in the morning or on my treadmill at home. I am a complete homebody and choose to stay home with dogs, or take them out for a hike. Every dog in my care is equipped with an AirTag for enhanced safety and real-time location protection while on property or during outings. I provide a calm, structured environment on a private, gated property with secure outdoor space, including separate, gated, play yards, and comfortable indoor areas for rest and relaxation. Dogs are supervised at all times and thoughtfully grouped based on size, temperament, and energy level. I also offer private or solo care for dogs who prefer a quieter setting.

“My pup had a lovely time with Nancy and her pack of 3 small dogs! We did a thorough Meet & Greet, introducing the dogs on a brief walk, seeing her home, and going through my dog’s routine and preferences. On the first day of dog sitting, Nancy sent me regular updates of everyone going on plenty of walks and getting along. I appreciated Nancy’s dedication as a dog lover and the thoughtful questions she asked to make my pup comfortable in her home 💜”

“Tyler was so great!! I am so glad I found him on here, he was very attentive to all of my pup’s needs and so communicative which put me at ease. He went above and beyond to give her lots of love and great care while she was with him and I am so appreciative. 10/10 experience! ☺️”

“After searching high & low for the right fit my for little Josie, I can easily say -We found our Sitter! Keely was so kind and gentle helping Josie acclimate to being away from me (she has very bad separation anxiety). She sent the cutest photos & videos throughout the day and Josie was thriving! Keely has the kindest soul and truly cares. She exceeded, by far, all of my hopes & expectations & Josie can't wait to go back! 5+ Stars!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up with two cats and a dog. I’ve also been dog sitting for the past 3 years and get along really well with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time. I can come to your home, take your dog for walks, do drop-in visits, or spend time with them while you’re away. I’m caring, attentive, and will treat your pet like my own! I’m super flexible in my schedule! We can discuss anytime and day of the week you need! Just select a day you want to ❤️ I have an apartment with a really nice and green street across the road. A lot of space to play! No other dogs in the house.

“I was really nervous to leave my dog because it was his first time and he’s usually very scared of people. But she did an amazing job he had so much fun, felt completely relaxed at her place, and she took such good care of him. I highly recommend her a thousand times!”

“Our day watch turned into an overnight and Sam was flexible and helped out. We always feel comfortable and confident Willie will be happy and safe with Sam.”

“The love & attention that Val showed to my beloved furry friend, Cheesecake, was unmatched. He catered to her high energy by engaging in various activities & walks (which she absolutely loved!) and kept me updated throughout the day with messages & beautiful photos (literally from the very beginning). I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! If you’re looking for THE BEST all around caregiver, honestly look no further. I only wish I had found Val sooner. He has easily become Cheesecake’s new favorite friend. 100 stars all around ⭐️ Will continue to book again & again :)”

“Ava, Bryan, and their daughter were great with my dog Abby! They are so nice, respond very quickly, and I would definitely have them watch her again :)”

“Whitney is my go-to DOG SITTER! She is amazing. I was very hesitant to leave Jewels with anyone because he’s so young and a puppy. But the first three trial days last week went really well, and then he gravitated towards her after that. I feel so safe and comfortable knowing that he’s taken care of. And he’ll be all right while I’m working long days. Whitney also offers to pick up and drop off, which helps me out a little tremendously. And he always just looks so happy. He also is learning so many good tips from Yumi, her dog. I swear he’s changed for the better.”

Gracie H.

“Monkey is always excited to spend the day with Laura! He got lots of good treats, got good photos of him having a blast, and is sleepy from all the fun.”

Scott M.

“Michael was responsive, caring, and a great fit for my pup’s needs! He came home happy.”

“Ekaterina is such a great sitter! Great communicator, sends pictures and updates throughout the day. My doggie is a blind anxious doggy and she is so patient with him.”

“Kallan has been caring for my dog for several months now, and I genuinely couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Over that time they’ve built such a wonderful relationship, and it’s obvious how much my dog loves spending time with him. Every time we arrive, my dog is excited to see Kallan, which gives me complete peace of mind. Kallan is consistently respectful, communicative, reliable, and an absolute joy to work with. He keeps me updated with photos throughout each stay, and it’s always clear that my dog is happy, comfortable, and receiving excellent care. He also does a fantastic job accommodating my schedule whenever plans change, which has been incredibly helpful. What stands out most is how genuinely caring he is. His love for animals shines through in everything he does, and I always know my dog is in kind, capable hands. I recommend Kallan without hesitation to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet. I’ll absolutely be continuing to book with him and couldn’t be happier with the care he’s provided.”

“Megan is a life saver! She took my little monster for a week and a half--at her place, on short notice--and I came back to a happy, tuckered-out pup. Megan was flexible on timing, super communicative, and most importantly, clearly loves her time with dogs. Looking forward to future playdates.”
