PetCare LB

PetCare LB is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 4872 Venice Boulevard in the Mid City area of Los Angeles, set up for pets who need closer supervision than a group playroom offers. The business has a Registered Veterinary Technician on staff and accepts cats and dogs under 45 pounds. Every pet is housed individually, in a space sized to its own needs.

What the facility offers

• Overnight boarding and daycare for small and medium dogs, plus cats
• Medical boarding supervised by a Registered Veterinary Technician
• Treatments and medications given as prescribed by the pet's veterinarian
• Private suites, indoor play space, and 24/7 supervision
• Daily weight checks and daily brushing

Who it fits

The setup leans toward older pets and pets recovering from surgery or managing a chronic condition. The layout has no stairs, and staff walk senior pets slowly rather than pushing the pace. Because housing is individual rather than cage-free, a dog who finds a busy group floor stressful gets a quieter option. Owners of large dogs will need to look elsewhere, since the size limit is 45 pounds.

Practical details

Rates published on the PetCare LB website run from $95 to $200 per night, depending on the level of care a pet needs. Booking is handled by phone at 323-207-9611, so owners should call to check availability and talk through medications, feeding, and any veterinarian instructions before a stay. Care categories include traditional boarding, in-home style boarding, medical boarding, and daycare, which makes the phone call the fastest way to figure out which one matches a particular dog.
