Doggie Goddess Pet Services

Traci, Chris, and Bree are the absolute nicest people and they truly love dogs. Our Aussie is always excited to go to «school» and tired and happy when he comes home. We’ve boarded with them several times as well.

Traci Christopher and Brie. Awesome people who genuinely seem to love animals and the people who own them too. I’m kind of new to doggy daycare as I’ve always had two dogs. One of them recently died and wanted to transition my Bauer into a daycare so he wouldn’t be so lonely. Traci from the get go was on it, amazing and sweet during the transition. I take Bauer their once or twice a week and wish I could afford it everyday because it is clear he has fun and is well looked after. Thank you everyone at dog goddess for being such amazing compassionate caregivers to your clients.

I am so pleased with the care my puppy Ozzy receives here. I am a neurotic Doggie owner and was so worried about boarding my puppy while I went on vacation for 10 days. I did a trial run the weekend before I left and was so relieved to see my puppy happy and healthy when I picked him up 2 days later. I knew he would be in good, capable and loving hands so I was able to relax on my trip. Tracy and her family take great care and provide a lot of love, treating their guest pups like part of their family! Traci even called me the night I picked up Ozzy to tell me how he did and to give me some helpful food tips. I will be bringing Ozzy back here regularly for daycare and when I have to go out of town. Big thumbs up!!!

It is evident that Traci, Chris and the Doggie Goddess Pet services team display a genuine passion for taking care of dogs. My family and I were relocating to Japan and due to canine import requirements, our dog Roxy had to remain in a 5-​month quarantine period here in Los Angeles. Upon touring several local boarding facilities, we felt most comfortable leaving our fur baby in the care of Doggie Goddess Pet Services. Our experience has been absolutely First Class. We maintained contact throughout this period and Traci provided us with frequent updates about Roxy; As an added bonus she even posts pictures on Facebook and Instagram on just about a daily basis. One example of Traci’s dedication to her clients is the fact that she even responded to an email in the middle of the night with some very important import requirement information that was required for Roxy’s airline reservation. Upon reuniting with Roxy she was just as happy as she was when we dropped her off 5 months ago. Her temperament and demeanor have not changed at all and she is proven testimony that all the love and care were provided while boarded with Traci and Chris. They have become part of our family and we love them. If you require doggie day care for one day or more, I would highly recommend checking them out; you will be happy that you did!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. My puppy was so unruly and I tried everything from puppy classes to private training. I worked with him everyday but he was still nipping and a bit out of control. BUT, when I brought him to Doggie Goddess, it was like a miracle. When I picked him up after just his first day, all his bad habits had literally disappeared! No more nipping and very well behaved. He still has his puppy behaviors that we are working on but he is a dream since he joined the Doggie Goddess pack. THANK YOU TRACI AND CHRIS!!!

I’ve boarded my dog over 20 times and never had her returned to me in such horrible condition. She had a huge scrap on her neck (bloody), vomiting, diarrhea, and more, smaller scrapes, on her belly and legs. When I picked her up there were over 20 large and small dogs all in one room with one person supervising. They were peeing on the floor, playing rough, and climbing up the gate to get to me. When I called the owner to address the way my dog was returned to me she insisted the scrape on her neck was because she was playing with other dogs. She just kept saying over and over that she was such a good dog. Completely unacceptable. My dog is an American bulldog and runs full speed around our acre of property with tons of bushes and trees and maybe gets a little scratch here or there but nothing like this. My dog also plays with my friends other large dogs all the time and still no marks. There is no way what happened to her neck was another dog. It looks like she was tied up or being pulled by her collar somewhere she didn’t want to go. It makes me sick to think about it. I will never know because my dog can’t tell me but I would never even consider bringing her back there. I have never posted on Unilocal before but since I just moved here and relied solely on Unilocal to choose a boarder for the dog I felt I should post and let everyone know of my experience.
Just to be clear and respond to the owners comments below. The gentleman you are referring to is my boyfriend and Maya’s father. When he called to inquire about our concerns he asked you if you needed my number to speak to me and you said no that you would call me and you had my number in my file. You never called.
As for you saying you never said it was another dog that cause the scrape on Maya’s neck that is a blatant lie. You told us she got that from playing with the other dogs. You said they paw each other and bite and that probably was what it was. My dog is not allergic to anything. I have been living in California for two months now. My dog spends most of her time outside wandering in the yard and bushes and has never had ANYTHING on her. To respond to your response about the vomiting and diarrhea. I am a seasoned animal owner and I board my dog when I leave town which is quite often. I have never received my dog back with extreme diarrhea and vomiting. Ever. Regardless of what your handbook says it is not normal for a dog to be throwing up with diarrhea and not even be able to get up to greet their owner when they walk in the door for 2 days after they are boarded. Your business was extremely negligent with the care of my dog and I wouldn’t leave her there again under any circumstances. This is my last comment on this. I think I am being very clear on my stance with my rating of your business.

Thank you Doggie Goddess! I was so worried Egypt (4 month Rottweiler) would be afraid of the other dogs since she hasn’t been socialized with other dogs. She did great! They even sent me pictures of her during the day to show me she was a warrior! Thank you guys for dealing with a new worried mommy! We noticed a difference in her attitude around other dogs! You guys are the BEST!

We love Traci and DGPS! My 2 girls were well cared for, and I love that she spent the time with them to make them feel loved. Traci truly has a gift! Thank you for allowing us to feel at ease while we were away.

What can I say? Traci and Chris are the absolute best. I struggled finding a place that would take my sweet little guy, Vince due to his breed. He’s a pit mix and a lot of places have certain breed restrictions around bully breeds. Not Doggie Goddess.
I’m grateful to have them in the neighborhood. Every single time I walk Vince by the store front, he tries to drag me in. They take fantastic care of him and without fail, he comes back completely worn out, which is an added bonus. Many thanks to them for treating my little guy like their own.

It is rare to find someone with as much love and passion for dogs as Traci. When I walked in, I knew right away that this was a place where dogs are loved, pampered and kept safe while at play.
It is hard to trust someone with your furry family member. Traci and Chris are hard working, dedicated and do this for the «Right» reasons. I would say I’m the #1 fan but there is a long list of competition for that spot!
Love, trust & a fun family atmosphere! Doggie Goddess earns her name!

Traci is just great with our dog Duke. He’s always happy to see her and play with his friends. Traci truly cares about the dogs, especially considering she knew Duke’s name as soon as she saw him for the second time which is quite impressive considering how many dogs she cares for on a daily basis. She also will send picture updates to us occasionally which is always greatly appreciated.
There’s also an outdoor space for the dogs, as well as a couch and doggy beds for them to nap on. Oh, also important to mention that there are high fences enclosing the dogs, as well as a double fence at the entrance to ensure that no dogs can escape without being leashed up first.
Highly recommend!

I can’t even gather the words to say what I need to say, because Traci and Chris are so amazing!
I met these two through our dog rescue adventures and we instantly bonded. Traci truly loves animals and always has their best interest at heart. She will always stop the car and spend extra time to help an animals in need. Moreover, she is knowledgeable about dog behavior and I never doubt that she has control over the pack. The dogs are always happy, smiling and playing; I’ve never seen an unhappy pup in their care.
They are approachable, honest, caring and courteous. They love their clients and their clients love them. And being a small business owner myself, I LOVE the fact that they have a family owned business… they love what they do, and it shows. Bravo, you two! Keep it up! :)

Had to go somewhere for 12 hours on a Sunday and didn’t know what to do with my puppy. I called in on Friday and they said they are closed Sundays — BUT — they do a boarding service daily and as long as you drop your doggie off by Saturday before 4pm you can keep your doggie there until Monday morning!
I was hesitant to be away from my pup for so long, but I brought him in (with his vet history!) and in about 10 minutes he was all set! I left food for him with the owners and was amazed that they offered to send text photo updates! Definitely made me feel better!
After a few hours I received some photos of him running in the backyard of the owners with some other doggies! So cute!
Staff: the owners are incredible with my dog and the other dogs. They don’t board the dogs at their location on La Brea — they take them via doggie van to their home! So the doggies have tons of space, get to play outdoors — it’s incredible.
My puppy came back tired and happy! We have since dropped him off for daycare — he loves that too!
I will definitely come back — especially if I go away for a weekend and need a place for my puppy to stay! Thank you doggie goddess!

fantastic, loving dog care!
found this great place through my vet. LOVE them.
my little dog just loves tracy & chris and squiggles with great delight
from my arms to theirs. hilarious.
your dog will be well cared for while you are away.
your dog will love them too.

This place is really great. Our dog gets so excited to come here, and when he comes home he’s happy and tired. The staff are all super nice, friendly and accommodating. Very happy we found Doggie Goddess.

Tracy and Chris have been wonderful to my German Shepherd, Quincy. Whenever I drop him off, Tracy goes crazy with excitement and then Quincy goes crazy with excitement. He is so excited whenever we pull to the front.
He is soo exhausted when he comes home as well. It’s amazing! I have a tired puppy on my hands and you know he’s had a day full of playing and socializing.
Parking has never been an issue. There is a parking lot right next door where you can park really easily and conveniently, bring your dog inside, and jump back in the car.
One of the things that I love about DGPS is that all the dogs are placed in the same pen to play. We have St. Bernards in the same play area as Chihuahuas, which I think is pretty awesome. It’s not for everyone, but I think it’s important to have all dogs socialize with each other regardless of size. With that said, some of these bigger dogs stay a little bit more clean than the smaller dogs. My dog is big (but not the biggest) and still gets dirty and comes home with a «dog» smell. Especially on Mondays! On Mondays all the dogs come in with pent up energy from the weekend and they leave smellier. I’ve come to realize that after having Quincy at a few daycares.
Overall, I recommend DGPS. Tracy and Chris are proud of their daycare and work really hard to keep the dogs healthy, safe and happy.

It’s day two of me leaving my fur child with Doggie Goddess and admittedly was super nervous how he’d behave after picking him up the first day and was really grateful he seemed happy and healthy and was zonked out in the ride home.
I think it imperative to have him socialise with other dogs so it seems to me the beginning of the week (mon/​Tue) are very full of dogs, which is good for him, and the end of the week it’s a bit more empty. Either way, my baby seems happy upon returning back to me and always pulls me on the leash toward the daycare when I drop him off as he’s excited to play with his peers.

Thank you, Traci, for your comments. Here are my responses to your responses:
«I am sorry that your experience with us brought you to the point where Unilocal would help you display your frustrations with DGPS.»
Actually, I have over 1,700 reviews so I pretty much review everywhere I go. I certainly didn’t single DGPS out and review you in frustration. It is interesting that 31 out of the 33 five-​star reviews you have were written by people who have fewer than 25 reviews. I suppose their experiences must have been so amazing that it brought them to the point of writing on Unilocal even though they rarely write reviews.
«Our route is what we call at capacity. When we made the decision to discontinue our FREE pick up and drop off services, it is because we were finding ourselves driving for way too long with OTHER CLIENTS dogs in the car.»
I totally agree that it’s not right to make other clients’ dogs wait too long in the car. If you’ve decided to discontinue the FREE pick up and drop off services, then why boldly advertise it on your website? It’s kind of misleading.
«Mrs. Z however, lives near downtown L.A. and we do not go anywhere near that area unfortunately.»
I’m Miss Z and I don’t live near DTLA. According to Google Maps, I only live 2.7 miles from DGPS and 4.0 miles from DTLA. It was fairly close to me so dropping off myself wasn’t that big of an issue.
«Regarding parking. We have a parking lot for our facility and our neighboring businesses located on the side of our building. Those that are not aware of this ASK about parking and we inform them for future visits. Mrs. Z never asked me.»
You weren’t there so I couldn’t ask you but I asked your assistant if the adjacent parking lot was the right place to park. She said something to the effect of — it’s not ours but if you’re quick, your car will be fine. Hey, that sounded like I was parking illegally and if I got in and our fast, my car wouldn’t be towed.
«It would have been as simple as pie for me to get a phone call stating what his mom mentioned above, and I would have easily offered her a complimentary bath.»
Why would I call someone that I think made my puppy dirtier than he’s ever been and a place I never plan on going back? If I had been frustrated and complaining on the phone and you agreed to a free bath, why would I feel comfortable leaving my precious baby with you again, even if it’s just for a wash?
I don’t know why business owners feel it is the customer’s obligation give them a second chance before leaving a Unilocal review. No business I’ve written a 5 star review for (and there are hundreds) ever complained about their review based on a first visit. Do it right the first time and you won’t need a chance to «make it right.»

I am Doggie Goddess’ biggest fan. I used to work right around the corner and would send my pup to half day to socialize and get his energy out. Traci & Chris were so flexible! They would come and scoop him up and stay late if my meetings went late.
I then moved jobs to the west side and without a blink of an eye they were more than willing to add my pup to their pick up and drop off commute. My dog does back flips when Chris picks him up. He totally knows when he is scheduled for puppy playdate.
I would be lost without Doggie Goddess, they are so so flexible, so accommodating to ast minute schedules and go above and beyond to give constant care for my son.
A great little story: This one time, I had pup scheduled for a play date because we were out of town and I accidentally locked the top bolt (Chris didn’t have a key) and without a second of hesitation they just brought my pup to their home for a slumber party and dropped him off the next day when we got back in town.
It just goes to show you that they do anything a client needs to make sure their furry buddy is loved. It feels so good.
Pros:
— super flexible
— always responsive
— reasonably priced
— so accommodating
— calm and loving
— loves what they do
— goes above and beyond
— sends updates via text and social media

Five stars are so not enough!!!
I found DGPS through Unilocal when I decided to go to the Bay area for a weekend and, based on the insanely good reviews, decided to give it a shot. I was super nervous leaving Betty, my one year old pit mix, but I got a really good vibe from Traci and Christopher.
Well from the first time I called them to when I picked Betty up, the experience COULD NOT have gone better. Traci was extremely understanding of my nervousness (I called her an hour after I dropped Betty off) and seriously could not be nicer. She sent me pictures of Betty every day which was one of the best things I could’ve asked for, and if I texted her she responded within minutes. When I picked Betty up I don’t think she even wanted to leave! I could tell she totally loved Traci. Even better… Traci gave me a huge hug when I came to get Betty. It was like I had left Betty with a trusted friend.
If you want your dog to have the closest experience to being home as possible while you’re away, bring them to DGPS!
