Between the five facilities here, customers have logged over 1,500 Google reviews, and four of the five hold a rating of 4.7 or higher, with live webcams and daily photo updates showing up again and again as the feature that actually eases owners' nerves.

Short answer: Wag Hotels - Hollywood leads on volume with 579 reviews at a 4.5 rating, offering boarding, daycare, and grooming under one roof.

How we score

Rating is the live Google average. Review volume measures how many customers have rated the facility, weighted against the others here. Confidence blends the two so a high rating from a small sample counts less than a high rating backed by hundreds of reviews. Recency checks how many reviews are still coming in. No facility can pay to change these numbers.

How much does dog boarding cost in Los Angeles? (2026)

Pricing varies by facility, length of stay, and whether add-ons like grooming or training are included, and most facilities on this page offer a trial daycare visit before a full boarding stay.

Serving all of Los Angeles

These facilities span Hollywood, Downtown LA and USC, and Glendale, covering a wide stretch of central and northeast LA. Wherever you’re searching from, dog boarding near me in Los Angeles is usually within reach of one of these five, and several owners report driving across the city for the right fit.

What to ask before you book

Is there a required evaluation or trial daycare visit before boarding?
Can I access live webcams or daily photo updates during the stay?
How do you handle dogs with anxiety or reactivity around other dogs?
Is staff on-site overnight, or just during the day?
Can you accommodate a special diet or medication schedule?
What’s included in the price, and are grooming or training extra?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another facility’s score or position.

How did you choose these dog boarding services?

We compared dog boarding facilities across Los Angeles using their live Google ratings, review volume, and how recently customers have been reviewing them, then confirmed what each facility actually offers.

How often is this updated?

This page reflects Google data verified in August 2026. We refresh listings periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Which facility is best for an anxious or reactive dog?

Oh Hello Dog runs a structured transition program specifically for dogs that need extra help adjusting to group play, and reviewers describe real progress with nervous dogs.

Do any of these facilities offer live webcams?

Yes. Wag Hotels, South Park Doggie’s Doggieland, and Oh Hello Dog all offer live webcam access so owners can check in during a stay.

The bottom line

Wag Hotels - Hollywood is the safe default given its scale and combination of boarding, daycare, and grooming. If your dog needs extra help with socialization or anxiety, Oh Hello Dog’s transition program is worth the call first.
