Westside Dog Gang

This is by far the best day care in all of LA! The founders and trainers take such incredible care of the dogs that come here and are focused on interactive care - training during the day in addition to free roam play time. I love that my pup gets to mingle with dogs of all ages and sizes. It’s been incredible for his socialization, his overall behavior, and his training skills! The facility is GORGEOUS. Truly the best place ever. So glad it opened in Santa Monica. Don’t sleep on West Side Dog Gang!! It’s the cleanest, friendliest, most professional day care facility in west LA! JB and Janet know Leon by name, make sure he gets his mid day meal, and always ask how I’m doing too. They’re incredible business owners and even better care givers for the dogs that they bring into West Side Dog Gang. They haven’t missed a beat with the facility - every detail has been made to ensure the pups needs are met - there is even a relaxation room for taking breaks throughout the day. I feel so good taking my little guy to West Side Dog Gang and encourage you to try it out too.

I can't say enough great things about the west side dog gang daycare. The owners and staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about every dog that walks in. They took the time to get to know my dogs personality, and it shows in the way Daphne interacts with them. My dog absolutely loves going and she gets excited as soon as we walk up. She comes home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for. I also love how clean and well-maintained the facility is, and I appreciate the photos they send throughout the day. It's such a relief to know my dog is in a safe, enriching environment where she gets to play, socialize, and get lots of attention while I am at work. I highly recommend this daycare!

West Side Dog Gang is amazing! My pup King and I feel at home here. I know he loves this place because as soon as he hops out the car he’s running straight to the door. The staff is friendly, trustworthy, and accommodating. You can tell they really care about your pet. They offer group training and also take the time to personalize training exercises that benefit your dog. The gang continues to evolve their play time and even offer sensory skill development training 💯💯💯💯 They perform a temperament test and are extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior. They do so much to ensure that your dog is in a positive and safe environment. The place is super clean and has a super modern and relaxed feel. As a pet parent, I am relieved to know he’s in a warm and nurturing environment. King definitely gets his zoomies out with the gang. 10/10 would recommend this place!

Poppy’s happiness is my top priority, so finding a daycare that cares for her as much as I do was absolutely essential. Westside Dog Gang isn’t just a daycare—they’re family. JB, Janet, and their incredible team treat Poppy like one of their own. They structure to each day that includes play, learning, and rest. She gets the perfect mix of stimulation and care. She cries with excitement every time we arrive and never wants to leave. Poppy truly loves being part of the WSDG pack and hanging in the clubhouse. I highly recommend checking them out!

My pooch is a proud member of the gang and loves seeing all her friends when she comes during the week. JB and Janet are amazing caretakers and the space is incredibly clean, modern, and clearly designed with dogs in mind. (Picture is from a community event they hosted where artists recreated photos into a pancake). I love that they have daily structure and rotating activities that keep the dogs mentally stimulated, not just physically tired. The space always smells fresh, even at pickup, which says a lot about how well it’s maintained. Their vetting process also ensures that all the dogs actually want to be there and play well together. I wouldn’t send Penny anywhere else and recommend Westside Dog Gang to anyone who asks.

I love the Westside Dog Gang crew! The owners Janet and JB are super nice and overly communicative. I love that I know my dog is in good hands. The daycare space is really nice and clean. When we do daycare, I know my dog is having a great time with puzzles, some classes with training, and socializing with the other dogs. You can also watch their story videos on their social media and catch glimpses of your dog. It’s really cute. I highly recommend their daycare services or overnight services. Your dog will love it and so will you!

Westside Dog Gang is the real deal. It’s not your typical daycare where dogs are just tossed into a room to figure it out. The vibe is more like a school for dogs, super clean, super cool, and the staff actually get dogs. My dog comes home happy, calm and tired in the best way, they do a mix of play, training, and downtime throughout the day, which I never seen done anywhere else. The team knows every dog personally and communicates everything so clearly, plus the space is seriously stylish, skate ramps, murals and a relaxation room.. it looks and feels like it was built by actual dog people, not just some corporate setup. Highly recommend if you want something better than the usual. This place is different in all the right ways.
