Canine Companion LA

Canine Companions LA is an amazing service with amazing people. They truly care about the well being of your animals. They come and talk to you about your needs and really get to know you and your animals. The best surprise for me was that they text you a picture after they have walked your dogs. To be going through your day and to stop and look at something that makes you smile is the best! I highly recommend Canine Companions!

I’m not exaggerating when I say that Linda, Lorie and the rest of the Canine Companion LA petsitters are some of the most fabulous people on the planet. My pitbull, Lola, was abused as a puppy and as a result has issues being around other dogs. She can’t be boarded and I’m always nervous to leave her with anyone. Until I found this business, I felt uneasy every time I had to go away. To say that this team of wonderful humans provides me peace of mind is an understatement. They send me daily updates on how she’s doing, adorable photos so I can see she’s having a blast, and they don’t make me feel guilty for having a dog with social limitations. Moreover, everything is done with an equally professional and personal touch – they sent her a card for her birthday, there is a note and a survey waiting for you upon your return home, and they sent a Christmas card with pictures of Lola they had taken during her last visit. This is an amazing service run by an amazing staff, they’re very reasonably priced, and I’ve never felt more comfortable leaving my furry friend when I go away. If you’re looking for awesome petsitters, the search stops here!

«Hands down, the best pet sitting experience my dogs and I have ever had. I have the upmost confidence in their well being whenever I need to have Canine Companion do overnight stays while I’m on a trip or just daily potty breaks while I’m at work. The team at Canine Companion follows all my care instructions for my dogs and sends text messages with photos each time. The fact that there are wagging tails and smiling faces whenever Linda and her staff care for them, says it all!»

this is a long time coming. and probably too long for most of you to read.
linda and canine companions saved my life, or at least my sanity. when my sister died suddenly last april, linda, who was their dog walker at that time, came that day, picked up my sisters two elderly dogs and cared for them and boarded them for the next nine months while we figured out what to do. she made time for visits, provided updates and pictures, and got them to the vet when a serious illness presented itself in the midst of all this.
the dogs are with us now, my husband and me. they were the loves of my sisters life and we knew there was no other answer but that they live their lives out now with us. and we love them madly. because we had the luxury of time. to recover from the loss of one of the loves of my life, my dear sweet sister, we now have our house filled with my sister in the shape of two senior pit-​mixes. a million thank you’s and a million dollars wouldn’t be enough. but we will keep trying to say thank you in little and big ways.
thank you, linda, and all of canine companions LA.

I love Canine Companion! They’ve been walking my dog since I first got him a couple years ago and I trust them to take good care of him while I’m not there. Linda and her team are great — from the text updates and pictures after each walk to being flexible with my schedule and booking last-​minute walks, I don’t know what I would do without them! Canine Companion is the best!

Linda and her staff at Canine Companion are awesome! I was lucky enough to be introduced to her right after rescuing my current dog, Mozart, two years ago. He’s an American Staffordshire and they are FANTASTIC with the bully breeds (& ALL breeds). They check out the socialization of a dog before introducing them to the rest; so safety is always a priority. Mozart LOVES Linda! I can see by the pictures she sends me. He also loves all of his friends at Canine Companion! I know when I go out of town he’s well taken care of and loved. He also gets plenty of exercise and play time. I don’t know what I would do without them!

Linda and Canine Companion is always the first call I make when we need dog walking services. I trust them completely and they are reliable, flexible and knowledgeable. They keep in touch with me via text the whole time and I will usually get a cute picture or two as well. Prices are completely reasonable as well. Don’t bother calling anyone else! As you can see, I HIGHLY recommend!

Absolutely love Canine Companion! Only company that I trust my boxer Chloe with. They are reliable, trustworthy and have great knowledge when it comes to dogs! Chloe absolutely loves going to «camp» as my husband and I call it. They take her on hikes, she plays with friends, and loves staying with Linda when we are on vacation!
Best pet sitting/​hiking service in LA! Plus we always get super cute photo updates on our pup which is amazing!

I highly reccomend Linda and Canine Companion for dog walking /​pet boarding! My min pin Rockit is 14 years old and has a strict med schedule but they always follow it and remember to ask about changes if it’s been a few weeks or month since his last walk or boarding. He is also not that friendly but loves her. She’s also extremely reliable and easy to communicate with. Linda always checks in daily when he’s in her care and sends pics. he always looks like he’s smiling ;)

Linda/​Canine Companions is the best. We boarded our dear old Ginger with Linda for a week. She was really well cared for and had a very happy experience. We really appreciate Canine Companions and Linda. She truly understands dogs.

I LOVE Canine Companion, as does my dog Charley. Linda and her staff treat Charley like one of their own. He gets walks a couple of times a week, and he can’t wait! In addition, I’ve used Canine Companion to have Charley sleep over, and he absolutely adores it there. He gets lots of personal attention and snuggles and gets to play with other dogs. He’s always so happy after he’s been at Canine Comapnion. Plus, I get a photo every time he gets a walk, which makes being away from him much easier while I’m at work. Highly recommended!!!

Canine Companion is as good as it gets. I work long hours and live in a condo with no yard so it was necessary to find someone to give my little Chihuahua mix a break during the day. However, he has trust issues with people so I was nervous to bring in a total stranger. After setting up an introductory meeting and watching Linda and Lorie interact with my dog I knew they were keepers. My dog LOVES them which says a lot, and they send me a text message with a little photo every time to let me know everything is okay and show me how much fun they’re having.
Canine Companion’s staff is experienced, professional, and reliable, and great at creating the best possible environment for your dog. In addition to dog walking, they offer several other services such as boarding and hikes, among other things. You should try them!

Canine Companion has everything that is so hard to find in pet care — experienced, reliable, and understanding. Most importantly, they care for your dog just like you do. No one size fits all, Canine Companion really takes care of your dog’s individual needs in a calm, structured home environment.
Not only for out of town needs either, Canine Companion offers great hikes for dogs all week long! Just check out all the smiling faces in the pictures and you can see how much the dogs love these outings! It’s a great opportunity for all kinds of dog personalities to socialize. Our dog Honey has learned so much and built a lot of confidence thanks to these hikes.
We don’t know what we would do without our Canine Companions!

I have been with Canine Companion and Linda for over five years now and have never once worried about my wonderful therapy dog that I treat like a king! Linda is trustworthy, responsible, consistent (which all my other dog nannies were not!), on time to the second and goes above and beyond for her clients. There are so many options and services that just take dog walking/​caring as a second job or hobby. Linda is a professional and this is her career and life. She also does not take on too many at one time and if she does, she has a small crew that has been through several hours of training and guidance. She also gives them quality time and exercise and they are never stuck in a car as they are all taken care of out of the home.
They are not walked with 20 other dogs at a dog park, but walked either with a very small crew or on their own. I can not say enough about finding the most reliable
pet service in LA!

Canine Companion is everything you could want and expect when you’re out of town and your dog needs a safe, comfortable and happy place to stay. My wife and I adopted a pit-​mix from Karma Rescue and were referred to Linda (Now known as Auntie Linda to our dog Scarlett).
Scarlett isn’t exactly «dog friendly» but Linda handles her with ease and makes sure Scarlett is well taken care. While we’re away, Linda also sends photos every few days showing Scarlett lounging on the couch or running around Linda’s property. Its great to see how well Scarlett is taken care of while in Linda’s care.
In short, I can’t endorse Canine Companion enough.

Linda was a reference from an Angel City Pit Bulls volunteer (awesome rescue BTW). For the last 3 months I’ve had a crazy travel schedule and my baby girl Shiloh has spent many a weekend at Linda’s. She’s always happy when I pick her up, and excited to come home. Linda has also been great through the long day care hours I occasionally subject her to. I would recommend all of Linda’s services and have been extremely happy with her boarding, day care, and hiking options. I sometimes send her to Linda’s to get some socialization and so I can clean the house. I was also able to get Shiloh CGC certified at Linda’s.

Linda is a great and caring pet services provider and I use her services all the time. She provides pick-​up and drop-​off services which I really appreciate. I’ve been to her business and the setup there is awesome. I know my babies are well cared-​for. Also, I love that she sends me photos every day showing me what they’re doing and telling me what they did. Super fun and appreciated!

Trustworthy, loving and dedicated, Canine Companion has it all! Linda has experience with dogs from all walks of life and is very personable. She sends photos and updates to us pet parents so we know our dogs are well taken care of and having fun!
With Canine Companion, there’s never a reason to worry. My dogs stay in a home environment with TLC around the clock — what could be better?! Linda is very knowledgeable, responsible and loving… and my pit bulls LOVE her. Nothing makes my time away from home more relaxing than knowing my babies are truly in the best place they could be!

Canine Companion is absolutely the only place I will board my two pit mixes. I trust Canine Companion 100% to care for my kids. My boy is very sensitive and will go on hunger strike when his routine is upset so I was sure I would never be able to leave him anywhere. But at Canine Companion he is in a loving, home-​like environment (no concrete and metal kennels!) and he eats! My girl is somewhat dog-​reactive so I worry about her being around strange dogs but at Canine Companion she is given her own space with her brother and lots of exercise and play-​time without the stress of interaction with other dogs. I am so grateful for Canine Companion – without them I’d be a wreck every time I had to leave my dogs!

I am an Adoption Coordinator for a reputable rescue in Los Angeles. I have seen hundreds of dogs go into homes. Often adopters ask for recommendations of where their dog should stay when they are out of town. My number one choice is always Canine Companion. It is a home environment but can also accommodate many types of dog personalities. If your dog likes to play with others, or just chill out on the couch, or needs snuggle time with a human –Canine Companion can provide. And all in the comfort of a home.
Canine Companion really provides something no where else does. A home with an experienced handler, and a loving, structured and fun environment. After all, we want our pets to feel at home when we are gone.
