Dog Boarding in La Crescenta, CA

“Henry was happy at Jane's resident. He got along well with her, her dog and family. Her husband gave Henry special attention at night because Henry did not want to be in a separate room at night so he slept in same room as Henry. Jane has a yard that Henry enjoyed with her dog. Jane and her husband were sweet and we did a meet and greet before drop off. Jane was able to take care of Henry's special diet restrictions. I would use Jane again:)”

“Thank you Eunhee & Byeonghee for everything! We needed a dog sitter due to last minute New Years plans and they were kind enough to take Lupo for us. They were very communicative and shared photos and videos throughout his whole stay. He got along with the other dogs and overall was showered with love. Thanks again for taking care of our boy with such care.”

“We we were very happy with the care we received in watching over our Kona Girl while we were out of town for four days. This was our first time using Michelle and Elizabeth and it won't be our last. From the minute we dropped off Kona to the very last day in picking her up we were sent pictures and videos on how Kona was doing. Was nice to see her happy under there care. Thank you so much!”

“Alison and Matt took amazing care of Kuma. He loves running around their yard and relaxing in their house. Alison sent us a bunch of adorable photos and videos of his stay. We felt so comfortable leaving Kuma at their house for the week. Kuma felt relaxed too. We could tell by all of the belly rub photos! :)”

“We boarded our two dogs here for two nights and had a fantastic experience! Shahane was amazing—she sent us frequent updates and really helped us feel at ease knowing our dogs were in great hands. The facility was very clean and offered plenty of space for the dogs to run and play. When we picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a safe, welcoming environment for their pets!”

“Cynthia has been amazing! I can't find the words to express my gratitude. I trust her with my beloved Miles. The previous reviews are spot on! Cynthia's awesome home is the place to be for our pups. We can now go on vacation worry free. Thank you so much!💕”

Odette M.

“Irina and family took incredible care of dog Stevie. She was adopted and is slow to warm to new people. She loved her new caretaking family. We so appreciated the daily checkins and pictures of Stevie living her best life. They took her to beach a couple times. So appreciate knowing that Stevie was so well cared for while we were away. Couldn't be happier with Irina's caretaking.”

Jessica W.

“Emin was great! He sent regular updates, took Tinky on hikes and walks and Tinky got along great with his pup. Emin was super on top of Tinky's needs and went out of his way to help make sure Tinky had a good time, and that I didn't have to stress on my vacation trip. Definitely recommend, Bryt”

“Lindsay is amazing! A true dog whisperer. My dogs are usually terrified of everyone and within 20 minutes into the meet and greet they were playing with her and letting her hold them. She was so flexible and open to meeting beforehand. She wrote down all the instructions and asked about their schedule, food, walks, sleeping….etc. she completely put me at ease leaving my dogs with her. I knew they were in good hands and that she would treat them as if they were her own dogs. She was so warm, kind and soft spoken to my nervous dog. She knew where the nearest vet was and payed attention to my dogs allergy issues. She sent me updates and was flexible on the pick up time incase my flight got delayed. Overall amazinggg dog sitter. Highly recommend! Me and my two chihuahua mixes love Lindsay!”

“Second time leaving my puppy with Kenzie and he literally pulled me up the walk to get to her house. You can tell he has a great time with her and she send tons of pictures and videos!”

“We had the BEST experience with Buddy’s Retreat (Alejandro & Christine), when we needed a dog sitter for our pup, Pluto for a week! Pluto was taken on walks and had lots of playtime in the backyard with their dog, Suki. Christine and Alejandro sent photos and videos everyday, which eased my mind as you could tell that he was having a great time! Pluto has separation anxiety, so it was wonderful to see how comfortable he was at Buddy’s Retreat! Best of all, Pluto was given lots of pets and love!! When picking him up, I know he was happy to see me, but when we left Alejandro & Christine’s house and drove off, Pluto seemed sad to be leaving their company! We were even given a sweet keepsake from them…a Christmas ornament with a photo of Pluto on it!❤️🐶 We highly recommend Buddy’s retreat (Alejandro and Christine) for your dog sitting needs! We will definitely be using them again…and again!! Pluto can’t wait for his next visit!!”

About: I love animals and want to keep your furry friends company while you are away! As a dog owner myself, I know how important yet stressful it can be to find a good and trustworthy sitter. I’ve had dogs all my life (and a family cat for 19 years) and have been pet sitting for friends and fostering since leaving home for college. I work from home the majority of the week with the entire summer off so I can stay home with your pet all day and make sure they are well taken care of! I live with my husband and our small 7 year old rescue dog named Taco. One thing of note is, Taco is still a bit shy and timid around new people and furry friends at first. However, Taco is very playful and loves everyone once she gets to know them! She gets along with both small and big dogs and cats too. I am happy to arrange a meet and greet to make sure your pets feel comfortable and are a good fit with Taco. I have a quiet walkway right outside my apartment so I can provide lots of walks and potty breaks throughout the day. I have many dog toys, dog beds, and a crate for small pets so you don’t have to bring your own (unless you want to). We also have pet stairs, a ramp, and a nice pet stroller in case your pet has mobility issues. I also only accept one pet at a time so your pet will have all of my (and Taco’s) undivided attention :) I work from home the majority of the week with summers off so I can stay at home with your pets all day! I can take them on as many walks and potty breaks as needed. I will only accept one pet at a time and can stay home with them all day. Pets are allowed on the furniture and I have pet stairs and ramps if they need them. I’ll send pictures throughout the day!

“Leah does a great job taking care of our fur babies. She is always attentive and keeps me up to date with messages and pictures. Highly recommend her!”
