Best Dog Boarding Los Angeles
If you are looking for dog boarding near me, you have found the very best dog boarding and training Los Angeles California has to offer.
Los Angeles safe, exclusive, customized, luxurious, and fun alternative to dog kennels and pet sitting: Fun Paw Care’s dog boarding service
You need to travel, but you also need to do it with a clear conscience. That’s hard to do if you’re not certain your best friend is in the best hands, getting the best pet care around. At Fun Paw Care in Los Angeles, our goal is to provide a dog-boarding experience so posh you wish you could trade places with your dog.
It has long been known that even the best dog kennels are much more stressful than home environments. Adding to that stress are multiple unknown dogs (and people) are much more stressful than a single dog and person staying in a home environment.
We call it “dog boarding” because that’s how people often refer to it, but that term doesn’t nearly convey the pawshness. It’s the ultimate dog spa vacation on Russell’s 5-acre dog boarding and training ranch. Your dog’s temporary vacation spot is private, spacious, and immaculately clean. Private one-on-one walks and adventures with a Certified Dog Behaviorist, dog massage therapy, playtime, music, and aromatherapy are just a few of the perks. Your dog gets 100% personal care and attention from renowned pet expert Russell Hartstein, who’s a Certified Dog Behaviorist, Trainer, and Nutritionist (one of fewer than 200 in the world).
Because of Russ’s background as a premier dog behavior expert and dog trainer, every activity will weave in at least a little “behavior-building.” Your dog will come back from vacation not only much more relaxed, enriched, and fulfilled but happy, healthy, and with better behavior!
Your dog will experience the kind of luxury people have long thought of when they think of Los Angeles. Because it’s a high-touch, exclusive service, our dog-boarding service is exclusively for Fun Paw Care Members.
However far you’re traveling, your dog’s “vacation home” isn’t far from his or her forever home. Los Angeles best dog boarding is near you if you live in Malibu, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Downtown LA, Santa Monica, Venice, Manhattan Beach, Westwood, Marina Del Rey, Calabasas, Hidden Hills, Burbank, Glendale, Pasadena, Hollywood, Palos Verdes, or elsewhere in Greater Los Angeles.
