5 Star Doggy Inn

We have boarded dogs with Olga for over 10 years !
5 Star Doggy in was in business long before all of the current pet hotel’s d’jour came on the market. In more than 30 visits with Olga, ranging from 2 days to 4 weeks our dogs have always been cared for perfectly. We would not consider any other pet hotel. Don’t be put off by the semi-​industrial neighborhood. Its the care given to the boarders by Olga and her staff that make all the difference. Of course being close to LAX helps has its advantages when you need to travel and board your animal.

I rescue small dogs and I’m fussy about where I board my own pack. Another fussy dog rescuer recommended 5 Star Doggy Inn to me and told me it was the only place she would leave her pack. I have special needs dogs with various quirks and complications. What I liked about 5 Star Doggy Inn was the mature and experienced attitude of Olga — the same goes for her staff. When I went to tour the facility I did not give them an exact time and 5 Star was clean and organized and welcoming. When I explained the intricate needs of my dogs, nothing phased them. I am an experienced dog handler and dog carer and I know what to look for and I walked away feeling extremely confident. When I left for my trip, my confidence remained and I returned to my healthy and happy dogs. The boarding went so smoothly, I was thrilled. A boarding facility is only as good as the experience of the management and staff and that’s why I highly recommend 5 Star Doggy Inn.

I just picked my dog up from here and he’s so calm! He’s a 1 year old German Shepherd so he has energy to last for days. It was his first experience at a daycare/​boarding place so I was already prepared to hear that he chewed through something. He was excited to see us but I could tell he had a great time and was treated well. Olga and the staff are really friendly and obviously love dogs. I really liked how they asked to take him a few days before just to see how his temperament was and how friendly he was with other dogs. I will definitely be using their services again.

Olga, Kathy, Sherrie and the rest of the staff are great! I have used their daycare and boarding services for my Frenchie Sophia since 2008. They are located close to my vet and close to LAX which is super convenient because I travel regularly. Whether its half day– daycare when I have some running around to do or boarding for a week or so, Sophia is there on average every other week. The facilities are clean, well kept and safe. I could go on and on but I will end with simply encouraging you to give them a try.

I was lucky enough to find Olga & her caring staff when they first opened more than 10 years ago. As a frequent traveler, it feels good knowing that my fur babies are taken care of with as much (or more!) love as they get at home (whether they are there for one or ten nights). One of my dogs requires medication & can also be a challenge with other dogs. The staff is experienced with different personalities and I can always rely on both of my dogs having a safe, great, cage-​free time whenever they are at 5 Star! And the convenience of being on the way to the airport plus reasonable rates (and discounts for multiples) are the icing on the cake!

Our family has been bringing our dog here and recommending this place to friends for close to 10 years now. Olga and Cathy and the rest of the staff are all wonderful people and excellent care takers for our pooch. Our dog gets so excited every time we show up, and she’s in the best mood when we come pick her up too. 5 stars indeed!

My dogs have been coming here since 2004 when they were just two years old. Olga, Kathy and the team are simply the best.
The dogs always get excited upon arrival and are super chilled out when they come home from all the playing and attention.
Indoor/​outdoor play space and a separate small dog area when needed. Your dog will get its own room at night and if you have two, they can share a room so they don’t get lonely. Super close to the LAX airport with convenient drop off/​pick up hours seven days a week.

We always feel comfortable leaving our dog here when we go away. He’s always well taken care of. Lots of opportunities for him to socialize and play.

Our 2 little terrier/​poodle mixes love this place! They are so excited when we pull into the parking lot: the boy dog sings and the girl barks, then they bounce outside the door until it is opened. Little dogs play and stay separate from the big dogs. Olga tells us that the boy-​dog picks one friend and plays with him & the girl hangs out with the people. It’s so nice that they have a choice! They share a little bedroom together. The pups are always happy and healthy when we pick them up.
We don’t leave our dogs with sitters because they real pullers on leash, and could easily get away from someone unaccustomed to walking them. We take a lot of comfort in the fact that they cannot get out of 5-​Star (as if they would want to).
Olga has Russian wolfhounds that our dogs think are «rock-​gods». They don’t get to play together at 5-​Star, but they are just the icing on the cake!

Olga and the staff at 5 star doggy inn are wonderful. Every time we bring our dog he can’t wait to go inside. We’re so happy to have found this place!

When I leave town, I know my dog is in good caring hands at 5 Star Doggy Inn. For awhile I was moving states/​cities and struggling to find a place I felt comfortable leaving my dog. I was so happy when I found 5 Star about 2 years ago. When I pull up to the front of the building to drop off my dog, she is excited and races inside to start playing. When I pick her up, I can tell she had a great time and was treated well. I also use the grooming services and have always been happy with the results. Of all the states I’ve lived in, and all the doggie day care businesses we’ve tried, 5 Star wins paws down!

This plan is great. Good environment for out dog. In fact she starts getting excited once we pass Randy’s donuts. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.

WOW… This is the best place in the area to board your dog if you like range free. There are three different types of kennels in this area but I have to say this was the best one we looked at. Pretty good sized with indoor outdoor and private facility. I can’t believe the bad reviews this place got because they don’t take pit bull dogs over the phone… I can see what a disaster this would be since it can take 2 to 3 people to get one of those dogs off another dog. Plus the vet bill, plus the trauma, plus the unhappy other dog owner, oh yeah and then more bad reviews. So my dear friend left her two small dogs here and she was pretty satisfied. She says they’re spoiled little brats so she wanted to get them socialized. She plans on leaving them here again in the future. That’s huge for her

Our Hana Banana absolutely loves this second HOME. Everyone there treats the babies as if we would at home. You can tell that they love their jobs taking care of our extended family members. She is so happy and excited to go when we tell her where she is going and when we pick her up. It is really a great place to leave your pets, I have checked out many places and finally found this one to be very consistent and very CARING & LOVING.

Just called and they seem nice but don’t accept Any Pit or Pit Mix dogs. I didn’t know places discriminated dog breeds regardless of the specific dogs temperament. So i cant really rate them since they wont accept my pup.

I have taken my Boston Terrier here a few times now and every time my husband and I have been really impressed with the staff and accommodations. We went home for the Christmas holiday and when we went to pick up our dog they had given him a Christmas gift bag! It was super adorable! We have kenneled our dog before elsewhere, but he has never had this much time to play with other dogs like here! I would definitely recommend this place for daycare and dog boarding.

I was told on the phone that they will not accommodate my AmStaff Terrier because they don’t take «pit mix.» No interview, no temperment test, just told no. There are no breed restrictions listed in their policies. That is a shameful way to generalize and treat animals. I understand screening for aggression, but that was not even considered. My dog has no history of aggression and would pass any screening. The website states that they «accept socialized friendly dogs,» which I have. This place is certainly not being run by dog-​loving people, and this type of discrimination is frankly disgusting.

Hate to have to do this but I am not sure of any other way to get the word out.
We had been taking our 7 year old Golden over the past year and had no issues until this last trip. Our dog got sick in the first 2 days of a 12 day visit at 5 star and they never called to tell us. Instead they went on the Internet and diagnosed the issue themselves and proceeded to treat our dog. We found out when we picked our dog up 12 days later. Unbeknownst to us they also stopped giving our dog her medicine. UNACCEPTABLE! Thank god things were not more serious.

My dog loves this place!!! My husband and I had to go out of town with family, and no one was left to watch our dog. I was super nervous about having to leave him, but the staff at the 5 Star Doggy Inn really made me feel comfortable. The first time we left Dizzy for the day, he came out happy and excited, and super tired from his day of play. When we took him the next week, he couldn’t wait to get in there! All my nervousness about leaving him overnight was gone since I saw how excited he was to go back.
There are no cages here. Instead each dog get his own room. They switch play time every two hours so your dog is sure to get enough rest and enough play time. They separate the big dogs from the little dogs.
Prices are reasonable and they are very nice about feeding my dog his special diet (I make his food). I’m really glad I found them! Now going out of town isn’t scary knowing he’ll be well cared for.
When we picked him up after our trip, they provided us with photos of him playing with the other dogs, and a list of basics, like if he ate enough, was friendly to the other dogs, etc… This insight was super helpful since we were constantly wondering what he was up to.
I love this place and definitely recommend it!

Our 12 year old Shih Tzu Ricky has been a guest at The 5 Star Doggy Inn every time we have gone out of town for the past five years. We literally have to spell the word hotel when he’s going because the second he see’s his Whole Foods Reuseable bag with all of his food and toys in it, he gets so excited and almost demands to get in the car.
Olga and her staff are FANTASTIC!
