Safety, trust & environment

I live in a 2 bedroom house with a big fenced in yard so there will be lots of running around and play time staying here with me and my dog, Cash. Cash is very social and loves to have company. He’s super friendly with other dogs and always shares his toys. I take daily 2 hour trips to dog parks near me (usually Eagle Rock Dog Park, South Pawsadena Dog Park or Griffith Dog Park). And of course consistent dog walks every hour or so. I’m a firm believer in exercise and socialization for dogs.

Information Burke S. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any behavioral issues, disorders or anything I should know about simply let me know prior to booking so that we can discuss the safest steps to take for your pup.

A typical day

Whether your pet is boarding or doing day care with us, our days always start the same. We start the day with a nice, long walk and then come back for breakfast and snuggles. Feed times are twice a day usually in the morning and in the early evening unless otherwise directed by the owner. After that we all jump in my ride and head straight to the dog park (usually Eagle Rock Dog Park, South Pawsadena Dog Park or Alice’s Dog Park). We spend a minimum of 1 hour at the dog park where your pup will get the exercise and socialization they crave. After the park we all come back to my house which has affectionately been called “Doggie Disneyland” by many of my clients. I have two separate big fenced in yards with plenty of room for them to run around and play. The dogs are allowed in my house and on my furniture and my beds as long as it’s OK with their parents. The bottom line is I’m trying to create an environment. That is essentially home away from home for you and your pet. Rest assure, with Man’s Best Friend Dog Day Care & Boarding, your pet will get 100% of my love and attention. The safety, health and happiness of your dog is my number one priority!

Man’s Best Friend Doggy Day Care

Pet care experience

My name is Burke, and I’ve had pets my entire life. For the past 7 years, I’ve turned my love of animals into my full time profession. So you can rest easy knowing that I devote 100% of my time to the attention and care of your doggie. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I have been known to be called a “dog whisperer” by many of my friends and clients. My love and devotion to your pet is what separates me from everyone else. I treat each dog as if they were my own. In addition to Rover, I have my own comprehensive insurance. The safety, health and happiness of your dog is my number one priority!

Thank you Burke for taking care of our wild one Loki! Burke was incredibly sweet watching Loki and sending lots of photos throughout daycare. Our dog warmed up to him immediately, and Burke’s home is a doggy playground with plenty of room for them to play and rest. We really appreciate you!

Burke worked with our high energy young pup to help him acclimate and to accommodate his needs. He was kind and welcoming and sent lots of videos and pictures to show how the day was going. Peanut had a great day and we look forward to working with Burke more in the future.

Burke is the best! So informative and quick with communicating - he has a great space with a yard and I could tell my pup was instantly comfortable with him. He also sent all kinds of picture and video updates which had me feeling at ease the whole time I was away. 10/10 would recommend!
