Reviews

We absolutely adore Lala, and our pup Savo feels the same. This was the second time we boarded with her, and our pup bounded up to her doorstep in excitement. She makes us feel so at ease when our pup is in her care, and we love seeing everything he’s getting up to through her regular text and photo updates. Highly recommend, your fur baby will be in great hands!

We've used Lala several times and she's always such a good dogsitter. She goes out of her way to provide Watson tons of mental stimulation, tons of walks, and so much love. She also is fantastic at reassuring me with consistent photos so I can just check in and see how he's doing at my convenience.

Lala has been willing to work with my fearful dog to build trust before trying to board. My dog loves the food puzzles Lala put out for her.

Lala is absolutely phenomenal! We met for our meet and greet and walked around my neighborhood for an hour discussing Zuma’s habits, triggers, quirks, commands, allergies, etc. Zuma immediately loved her. Lala asked all the right questions and had great recommendations for calming Zuma and retraining him for city life. Lala talked about her positive reinforcement methods and the safety measures she takes when walking/boarding. On short notice few days later, I booked Lala for a mid-day walk and when she went above and beyond. Zuma was shaking and so nervous since I wasn’t home, but Lala grab treats, practiced coming in/out, and spent extra time sitting with him until he got reacquainted with her to ensure she and Zuma both felt safe and comfortable before heading out for the walk. Afterwards, Lala sent a detailed message about Zuma’s behavior pre-walk, during walk, and after walk. During the entire process, Lala made sure we were in constant communication, sent many pictures, and did everything she could to ensure a positive experience for everyone. I will absolutely be booking Lala again.
