I have a very challenging dog and was in over my head. I couldn't find a day care to help me with my wild child, fur baby. But Kim was kind, caring, compassionate and amazing with him! She's a trained animal professional. So if youre looking for your dog to be safe and well cared for this is the place! Her employees are all very nice and attentive to the dogs. Truly a place that cares for dogs and not just a "business" to make money. My dog always comes home SO happy!

I'm leaving this review a little bit late, but I had my dog stay here over the holidays. Not only is Kim amazing at interpreting dogs' needs and communicating with dogs very well, she is very attentive to what's going on with your dog. I made mistakes that a first time dog owner would make at his first time boarding his dog at a kennel: not packing a growing amount of food as the dog will be more active than normal (if you don't, the dog will lose a little bit of weight from over activity), not accounting for my dog's anxiety being away from her owner as long as I was away, etc.
All that said: Kim and her team took EXCELLENT care of Sandy. She was very tired when she came back to me, but tired in the sense that she had been playing for 10 days straight. This was great for me because I was tired from traveling it worked out. Her adjustment back to staying at home was only a day, then she was fine, which is great in the grand scheme of going from boarding/kennel to home.
For people expecting a 5-star butler service for their dog for $54 a night or so, please keep in mind what a dog kennel is and please also keep in mind that putting a dog in a kennel or long term boarding of any kind, especially for the first time, is a huge adjustment for a routine based animal like a dog. If you want the people best suited to handle that adjustment and take amazing care of your dog, Kim and her team at Urban Dog are the best. Period.

We've been bringing Rogie to Urban Dog about 4-5 days a week for the past 2 1/2 years since we rescued him, and I can only say great things about the place itself, the staff, and their philosophy on what it takes to give the best care for our furry family members. Our pup is very high energy, and plays like a hyper teenager - but the team knows how to handle him perfectly, making sure he gets the attention he craves, but also knowing when he needs some time to decompress. They've been able to establish a stable "pack" of friends for him with some other regulars, which is great.
He always seems to be super excited to go and play when he gets dropped off, and when we pick him up he's definitely more mellow and balanced, so it's a win-win for everyone! Definitely recommend Urban Dog to anyone who loves their dog!

Loved this doggy play care. We were on a family vacation for the week, this was the only facility within the 5 mile radius of our hotel that accepted our family dog to be cared for throughout the day. Some places we called we had to be scheduled the next week or at a later date. I spoke to Erica and she said to come on by with your vaccine papers and she is free the first day! Clean environment. Friendly staff. Awesome company. Will be going to them on our next SoCal Trip.

This place is amazing! I started off with the 20 visit package, and I'm so glad I did. I have a miniature dachshund puppy who I was scared about sending to daycare at first because he's just so small. But the staff treat him so well, and I know he's always well taken care of. The environment seems very safe too. The dogs all play well with each other from what I've seen on the webcam, and there seems to be a staff member always supervising play times. The owners of Urban Dog are also amazing! They're super sweet and great at making customers feel valued. Very awesome place!

I had just moved and had nowhere for my fur babies to go. I called several places, but due to Covid-19 no one wanted to take new dogs. I called Urban Dog and Kimberly ( the owner) drove from her home to the daycare to help me. She was able to take my dogs the same day and accommodated them for a month. The prices were reasonable and my dogs were always so happy when I went to visit which gave me peace of mind and confidence that I had put then in the right place. I'm definitely using Urban Dog again. The staff was amazing and they treated my dogs like family!

The best doggy day care ever! Kimberly and the team at Urban Dog are the best, they are top notch. We have had 3 dogs there over the past 5 years and these people really give a damn. We use the team at Urban Dog not only for day care, but for boarding as well when we have to travel. As an example of the above and beyond, we had a very special dog that was living out her final weeks.
When we finally lost her, they presented us with a photo book of pictures of her there with notes from each of the team. They are special people. When the dogs realize we are on the way there, they go crazy. We have used other places and the dogs have never had the reaction we get from them when the realize we are on our way there. That says it all as far as we are concerned. If you love your dogs then this is the place for you.

Its so nice to have a place to be able to take your dog to where you can tell the people genuinely care about them. You can tell Kim, the owner, is truly passionate about what she does and provides a first class service. She is always a wealth of information, from training to making feeding recommendations. My dogs always come home happy and tired! There isn't another place I would trust as my dogs home away from home!

As always, I'm super super happy with our experience at Urban Dog (boarding and daycare - http://urbandog.com/) and had to give them a shout out. Urban Dog kept my Dogo Argentino all last week. This is the ONLY place I can take her that she goes in and comes out happy. The thing I love the most about Urban Dog is they really get to know each dog as an individual and they cater to the needs of each.
My dog Olive is a tremendous princess and the staff dotes on her. Urban Dog doesn't just have large dog and small dog runs like a lot of places do - instead, they group dogs by like personalities and play styles. They know dog behavior, monitor safe play, and give the dogs rest time when needed. This is why Olive comes home so happy. Every other place I've tried with her, she comes home completely fried and depressed.
With Urban Dog it's like she never left my house. And because they're so savvy with dogs they also don't breed discriminate which is huge for us because, most places won't even take Dogo Argentinos. Olive gets along with all dogs, but my friend dropped his rescue German Shepard who is aggressive towards all dogs at Urban Dog as well.
They don't let him interact with the other dogs and respect his loner needs. My friend just picked him up today as well and was super happy, so was his dog. Posting some pics of Olive at Urban Dog and just after picking her up. I'm trying to support good businesses like this during these hard times, so keep them in mind next time you have the need. They also do daycare. Hey, your dog might need a break from you and a safe place to socialize too;)

This place is special to me and my dog. Kim, the owner, really makes this a place you can bring any type of dog to. My dog is a rescue, absolutely sweet as pie, but needs some extra help being introduced to other dogs. Kim has this down to a science. It's special because now my boy gets the socialization he needs and during a hard time like Covid, too. I get to watch him on their cameras while he plays. When I get my boy home, he is happy and exhausted. So grateful!

My pup absolutely LOVES Urban Dog! (And I do too). I feel so comforted knowing they have outstanding expertise and passion for all the dogs in their care. The webcam is fantastic too, I love peeking in on Rogie when he's there. I fully trust and appreciate Kim, Erica and all the people they have on their team. Highly recommend!

This was our second time taking our dog Sparkle to Urban Dog and everything went great! Sparkle is very sweet but also a very large dog, and they did a great job handling her. They were amazing when I called to schedule an overnight for Sparkle and great when she stayed for the Thanksgiving break. The have a webcam where you can see your dog and we even had them give her a bath last time.
When we went to pick her up, she was relaxing with a few doggie friends. So sweet! They were wonderful when we called to check on how she was doing too! I definitely recommend trying them out if you need a doggie hotel for your dog while you are away or just for a night. We will definitely use them again and again!

Always ready to help, kind dog lovers not like City Dog City Dog only cares about money Herb and Dog cares about your dog and your view and they have a more holistic view of caring for your animals it's one of the nicest places in West LA they're kind they are good to your animals they don't lose dogs on walks like City Dog you have my vote urban dog you are the best on the Westside! Don't go to City Dog they lose dogs on walks, are rude, management changed and they went downhill They are happy to take your money but don't deliver kindness and humane care for dogs or humans Freightful

I can't live without urban dog! I have been coming for 9 years on a daily basis. Erica, the manager, and her staff are incredible. They love my 2 pooches. We adopted our current beagle-jack Russell (Stella Marie) mix from urban dog. My two girls go everyday to urban dog and it's part of our regular work routine. I am writing this review because of the need to mention and show appreciation for the great job they do Day and day out. Eddie, night manager, and everyone else are exceptional "dog people" which allows me to work without any worries. I highly recommend urban dog for anyone who is looking for a safe, professional and loving environment for their pooch. Thank you Dr Steve

Now I know how abusive this place is! I have been bringing my dog here for a few months now and the other day they gave me my dog back, when I got home I noticed he was acting weird then I look at his collar he has a shock collar on his neck so he could not bark! I'm so pissed this is animal cruelty they already shove your dogs in crates now they put shock collars on them!
This is horrible! I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! The employees throw choke chains at the dogs and yell at the dogs! STAY AWAY IF YOU LOVE YOUR DOG! The pictures will clear everything and the owner is going to try and say it's a lie but I have proof!

WARNING READ THIS! I was out of town for business. I returned to find out that urban dog had snapped my dogs neck! The vet said the dog neck had trauma to the head and neck meaning someone had hit my dog so hard that the dog neck was snapped! I asked them what happened I was told he fell off the fence! That is a lie! I'm warning you DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG HERE! LOOK AT THE OTHER REVIEWS! I'm so speechless right now and hurt, I cannot go on with this I will be consulting my lawyer! If you love your pet do not bring your pet here!

I brought my dog in a couple a days ago for the first time and let me tell you everybody there were very friendly and very welcoming. They even have a web cam so I can see my dog whenever. When I picked up my dog he seemed very happy and didn't want to go home. I will definitely be bringing him back for daycare.

As much as I like the person who runs the front desk in the mornings, I'm pretty appalled at how my dog has always been returned to me and today was no exception. Final straw. We've been taking Winnie here since she was maybe 6 months old and were always happy that she seemed tired and played out at the end of the day. She has, however, ALWAYS been returned to us smelling like piss and covered in god knows what.
We almost always have to bathe her immediately, but today I completely have snapped. Question for you guys: You really think this is ok? Her ears inside are bright red and she's crusty, dirty, and smells so awful I don't even want her in my house right now. I bathed the her last Monday night after I picked her up and even skipped last week because I was so afraid it would happen again. Took a risk and tried again today.
I can't even count how much money I've spent taking her to you guys and this is how you think my dog should be returned to me? oh and FYI to dog parents- your dog will be kept in those cement cells all day unless you pay additional $$ for a weak ass 5 min walk. Your dog deserves better. This is my baby and they clearly don't give two shits about her.

Urban dog is absolutely the greatest. I recently got a rescue pup, and have been bringing him in here a few times a week when I'm at work. It really makes a rough day go easier when i can pull up the webcam and see Frank playing and having a great time at school. Kim is extremely knowledgeable and a tremendous resource for advice on training and everything else pet related. Frank absolutely loves going in, he has his friends he loves to see there-both other pets and staff alike. Erika always welcomes frank with lots of love and affection. Frank comes home good and tired, and they helped with his training so he's a very well behaved pup now.
It's also great that if I ever need to get out of town, Frank has a place he loves to stay for a vacation of his own. I cannot recommend this place enough, if you're looking for boarding or daycare for your pet please give urbandog a try.

Urban Dog is one fantastic facility! My husband and I recently had the pleasure of adopting a dog from Urban Dog and we are so grateful to have dealt with them. Kim is a superstar - friendly, honest, guiding, and incredibly helpful. She knows so much about dogs and we are so appreciative to have crossed paths with her! Melbourne, our stunning young lab, simply loves going back to UD when we are busy - his whole body writhes and wriggles with excitement.
We know he's had a good day playing with his friends when we pick him up exhausted and content. Urban Dog and all who work there have been very easy to deal with. There is such a positive can-do attitude all round there and you can really see how much everyone adores working with the pooches. They are all so welcoming. Urban Dog is a happy place for us, and for Melbourne!

This is the best doggie daycare in LA. Our dogs love it! Milo goes on hikes twice a week and boards there with our other dog. The place is extremely clean, the staff is very friendly and dog experts. Their first concern is taking care of the dogs and making sure all dogs are safe and attended to. Thrilled we were referred here a while ago.

I love taking my Bruno to urban dog. The staff is super friendly and professional. As soon as I walk in the door with Bruno my little guy starts barking with joy. This is when I know how well cared for Bruno is. I also love that urban dog is open on Sundays until 9pm. If you have a furry baby this is the place to bring your dog.

My two girls have been boarded here, over the past 7 years. All the staff are wonderful and my dogs are always well loved and well cared for! I have them walked once a day, so they get to go outside. Otherwise they seem content to hang with the other dogs, and the staff. I watch them on the webcam while I'm away. It comforts me to know they're ok and I think they know I'm there!
