 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My pup and I love Wags 2 Whiskers! My dog is well cared for and happy each time we visit. I’m glad to have found them! I have seen a complete change in her separation anxiety since starting their Braining program. She’s also done daycare, boarding, and grooming and I can’t say enough about how wonderful they are!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My frenchie, Gary, stays at Wags2Whiskers weekly on/off for daycare and occasionally for boarding when I go on vacation. It’s hard to find a place you can truly trust, but Wags2Whiskers is that place for us.

A very telling example: when I’ve taken Gary to other daycares, he shrieks and resists when I drop him off. At Wags2Whiskers, Gary bolts off excitedly without a glance back, as if I don’t matter—though I wish he'd at least say goodbye to mom! It’s clear he loves being there. Today when I picked him up he even tried to pull me back towards the entrance lolol.

I would 100% recommend Wags2Whiskers without hesitation. Carolina and her staff are genuine dog lovers, and it shows in their dedication and care.

Thank you, Wags2Whiskers family!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. W2W has been an amazing daycare for our fur-baby. The staff has always been very friendly, helpful and always involved in our pups playtime. We have been taking her there since she was six months old and looks forward to going. I have peace of mind knowing that my dog is in their care, she gets one-on-one attention with the caretakers and periodically sends me photos of how she is doing throughout the day. Every time I drop her off, she waits and looks out the car window to see who’s going to pick her up that day. I’m so thankful for all that they do.  I use their daycare, grooming and boarding services, they are excellent. I cannot recommend them enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Flying with dogs is so hard these days and so we needed somewhere to watch after them during Christmas break. Wags 2 Whiskers did the best job taking care of our two pups during the holidays and we couldn’t be happier. A very kind and responsive staff made us at ease while we were away. Highly recommend!

After years of holding my breath with boarding my dogs, I'm so happy to say that after many stays now at Wags 2 Whiskers in Culver City, my dogs come home in the same health and condition as when I drop them off... they are happy and well taken care of and I greatly appreciate the lengths Wags 2 Whiskers team takes to make that so.
