Highly recommended! I have been using Doggie Bliss for several years for daily walks while I'm at work and some vacation overnights. I have found all their walkers to be true dog lovers and very reliable and responsible. My two pups love all of them and look forward to their visits. Office staff and management is fantastic. Always responsive and great service. I have great peace of mind with Doggie Bliss!
Love this service for my young GSD. Kelly is a great dog walker and overall this company is extremely responsive and helpful. Used them twice now and will continue to do so when my schedule is just too busy. Freyja loves her walker 🙂
Everyone I’ve dealt with at Doggie Bliss, from the office personnel to the dog walkers, has been friendly, attentive, and reliable. I have the utmost confidence in them fulfilling my dog’s needs while I’m at work.
We love Doggie Bliss! they are always so responsive and accommodating to whatever we need. Ellie loves her hikes and walks and we've also had great experiences whenever we've had an overnight stay with Ellie.Cannot recommend Doggie Bliss enough!
Doggie Bliss is the most caring and professional dog walking service! They have been hiking my boxer Emmit for 6 years now, and he missed them so much during Quarantine. The dog walkers are so careful when they pick up Emmit and I never worry about COVID with them. Doggie Bliss follows the LA Dept of Health rules to the letter! Walks around my neighborhood weren't enough for Emmit and he started putting on weight. Thank goodness Doggie Bliss is back keeping him fit with long hikes!
Doggie Bliss is beyond wonderful. They thoughtfully, reliably and professionally walk my dogs allowing for a slow 'sniffy' cruise around several blocks for a total of one hour. My babies are tired and oh so happy after each meeting. I highly recommend Doggie Bliss to anyone who loves his/her dog.
The Doggie Bliss walkers are extremely professional and reliable. They also LOVE dogs. When we have needed special accommodation, the company has been flexible and responsive. Billing, too, is a breeze with online statements that are comprehensive and easy to review. We couldn't ask for a better service for our precious pups.
Sparky, Bailey and Jasper LOVE Doggie Bliss - the walks, the overnight stays, the very kind care. Jasper is NOT GREAT around other dogs - and his walkers are wonderful with him. Never had an issue - and the dogs are so happy with all their Doggie Bliss friends. I couldn't recommend more highly!
If you're like me, you need a dog walker you trust AND someone who is reliable, including holidays, during illness, etc. Doggie Bliss is always there for me and, most importantly, my sweet furbaby. If a substitute is needed for my regular dog walker, they always give me plenty of notice and I get to meet the substitute dog walker ahead of time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Love this service! Our dedicated walker is amazing and loves our dog has her own (and he loves her too).This service has been helpful to us for years, during our busy workdays and when we are out on trips.Thank you doggie bliss!
I've known Shannon and her team for almost 10 years. Not only are they trustworthy, professional and reliable, but they truly love animals. I had 2 older cats... Very spoiled, of course.. And they treated them with care and compassion. One has since passed, and I am sure his lonely buddy will enjoy their loving, human touch. Her capable and caring sitters were always accessible, responsive and dedicated to go the extra step for the kitties.
My dog, Axl, walked with Doggie Bliss for about 2.5 years, until I moved out of Los Angeles. He got two walks each day, and we didn't have a single negative experience! In the mornings he went on buddy walks, and Doggie Bliss did a nice job of finding him a "buddy dog" who matched his temperament and energy level. In the afternoons, they took him to the local dog park. I really liked how flexible the scheduling system is and how they tailored their services to Axl's specific needs. They were never not been able to fulfill one of my requests for service, and Shannon was always super responsive when I have questions/special requests. Doggie Bliss made my life so much easier!
We have three dogs and Doggie Bliss are the kind of people and service I'd like to give 6 or 7 stars to.We've been with them for years and years and they are safe and absolutely great at everything they do.
My husband and I have been using Doggie Bliss and love it. Our pup was very scared of people coming into the house and taking him for walks. Doggie Bliss worked with us to find the perfect walker and now he looks forward to his walks and loves his walker. Monica is super responsive, always follows up and it's great to have a consistent person for our pup. Thanks Doggie Bliss!
I cannot say enough positive things about the whole Doggie Bliss team. They are so quick to respond, they treat my dog like their own and they are affordable. When my dog hears anyone from the team coming he goes NUTS. I would recommend them to anyone asking!
Shannon and her team are amazing. I’ve used Doggie Bliss’ services for the past few years for my dog and 3 cats and they are great! They have been very accommodating and keep us updated on everyone while we’re out of town and even day-to-day while in the office. Definitely recommend them!
Doggie Bliss is my number one favorite dog walking service I have ever used. Our lab Winnie has been going on walks and hikes with Doggie Bliss since we was a puppy (she's 7 now), and I have only the best things to say about Shannon and her team! They're responsive, reasonably priced, and I just trust them implicitly with our sweet pup.
We have used Doggie Bliss for years for walks and also dog/housesitting. Their people are extremely professional, caring, and take the utmost precautions. I can't handle my dogs on walks due to back issues, them being big and me being small; I simply don't know what I would do without them.
Most trust-worthy dog service in Santa Monica! Highly recommend!
Cannot say enough wonderful things about Doggie Bliss and their wonderful team! I was new to LA and nervous about finding someone to take my dog out for mid-day walks and Doggie Bliss made it so easy! Their dog walkers are professional, reliable, and clearly love what they do! I also appreciate how easy it is to schedule things through their site. Their dog walkers do a great job of communicating while you're out of town, etc, so you know your pup is in good hands.
I have been using Doggie Bliss for a little over a year now. Shannon, Alina, and the rest of the crew have been fantastic with my occasionally fearful dog. He goes on both regular walks and the hikes. They always provide feedback on the walks by email with a picture so I know what he has been up to that day while I am at work. Highly recommend.
Highly communicative, very professional, on time, will check on not just dogs but anything weird in the apt (have made sure my stove's off, mail is brought in, etc). And my pup Watson always loved the walkers!
We've used Doggie Bliss for 2 years now since I took full-time job from being self-employed and working from home. I highly recommend this company for the following reasons: 1) Coverage no matter what. If my regular walker can't make it, they arrange for a back-up walker that I've either met before or can meet in advance. 2) Convenience. I can reach them in a variety of ways and easily change my schedule online. 3) Easy payment. My credit card is automatically billed and I'm emailed a detailed receipt. 4) Last but definitely NOT least: my baby girl LOVES our regular walker. He's very patient with all her quirks and is very flexible with my changing schedule.
I am so delighted with Shannon walking my errant mini wirehaired doxies!. She does wonders with them, and they adore her. Her services are so professional, and consistent, I couldn't be more comfortable or pleased with Doggie Bliss, nor could I rave more of the services. Many, many thanks, Shannon and staffRennie Skepner
This is some really interesting and unique advice, I particularly like that you recommend your readers actually tour the groomer’s salon before sending their pet there. I do agree however, that a lot of disorganization and chaos is a sign that that particular groomer might not be the one for you. Not only is a calm and organized office a sign of professionalism, it can also be a sign of cleanliness which is a huge thing to keep in mind when choosing a groomer for your dog.
These are some great tips, and I appreciate your advice to take a tour of the facilities when choosing a dog groomer. My husband and I just moved into a new area, and we need to find a good groomer to keep our dog looking nice. We’ll definitely make sure to visit any that we’re considering in person so we can get a feel for the cleanliness of the facilities. Thanks for the great post!
I really like the idea of taking a walking tour of the groomer. This will make my wife feel better about leaving our dog with someone to get the dog hair cut. She is very protective over our little dog.
Taking a tour of the facility is a good idea so that you can get some sort of idea of what the place and people are like. If the facility is clean and well-kept, then it may be a good option for your pup. You can also talk with the staff to get an idea of what they are like!
I love my dog so much, so finding the right groomer is very important to me. I haven’t been able to find one that really fits us yet, but I’ll have to keep this in mind as I search! I really like that you mentioned that you should find out exactly what products they use. That way you can know that your dog is being taken care of.
I agree that checking a groomer’s qualifications before you choose them is important. I would imagine that finding out about experience and certifications would help you ensure your dog gets treated right. I’m looking for a new groomer for my dog so I’ll have to find someone who is properly qualified to do it.
