DRK is a hidden GEM of a day care/kennel! 6/14/2011

Our pup has been coming here for a while now and not only does she love it, but the staff makes us feel like family, smiling and saying hello, remembering our names, our animals names and just being genuine! Their videos they post on Facebook are to die for too! I feel much better bringing her here where all the dogs are watched and kept in line instead of at certain dog parks where pet parents don't always pay attention. I say this because my dog was just bitten at the park and it was by a parent who was walking around on their cell phone, ignoring their dog. The dogs at DRK are never being ignored and are never bored...as a pet parent I want my little girl worn out from all the play and the great socialization... Pros: Great hours, great $, caring staff, lots of exercise & socialization...I could go on, but why don't you check them out and decide yourself! more

Unsanitary disease ridden kennel 6/13/2011

I had been taking my two dogs to this kennel for almost a year. Initially the service was great. However, I noticed they started having more business and the conditions of the place and the service deteriorated. The first instance of disease was when I received an email notifying me that my dog had been exposed to an oral wart virus. The virus can lay dormant for up to 6 months so I have been checking my dogs mouths ever since. I understood and assumed this was an isolated event... but now I was just informed that there was a Giardia outbreak. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Two days prior to bringing my dogs to their kennel we had their annual Vet checkups $600 all in and the vet gave them a clean bill of health. When I explained my frustration to the owner her reply was ""it is only $50 exam per dog"". I was outraged because I trusted them with the care of my dogs (my babies) and had already spent $500 with them for their stay. She did not offer to do anything to ameliorate the situation and totally brushed off my complaint. more

AWESOME! 6/7/2011

We began using DRK about 3 weeks ago and its awesome. The staff's wonderful and they are perfect with the dogs.Everyone at DRK is very friendly and goes out of their way to get to know the dogs/owners. They always answer their phones and are extremely helpful. I cannot say enough good things about DRK. If you want your dogs happy, then this is the place. more

Georgie, you've made the grade!!! 2/22/2011

I cannot tell you how excited I was to hear that Georgie had opened a kennel. To know Georgie is to know her passion for animals. It is a thrill to know someone who as talented as Georgie is with dogs is pursing her dream. Run, don't walk to DRK. Call ahead and book an appointment, however, I hear this is the hottest Kennel on the West Side. more

Bad Management 9/27/2010

They never pick up their phones! Makes me wonder if there are people on the premises at all...Very unprofessional and not reliable. I would not bring my dogs there as they I can't be sure that they even watch them at all (or if they are out doing ""errands""). more

Great Doggy Day Care & Boarding in Marina Del Rey! 8/5/2010

I take my dog to DRK every weekday while I'm at work. I trust this kennel and everyone who works there to take excellent care of my dog. I love this facility, and so does my 10 1/2 month old puppy. I've been taking her there since she was six months old. The owner and her staff are all very professional and always willing to take the time to answer any questions I have. They are constantly taking pictures and videos of the dogs, so I can see what my pup is doing throughout the day! They are also very hands-on, so I know my dog is getting plenty of attention. I cannot say enough good things about this kennel. I would highly recommend it to anyone. more

What a Relief! 7/16/2010

I just wanted to say thank you again, DRK! Since finding you, I finally feel safe boarding Kingston (my five-year old yellow Lab) again. The last kennel I boarded with had an outbreak of bordetella (aka Kennel Cough). Kingston did not get sick, but apparently not all the dogs being boarded there were vaccinated against Kennel Cough, which is very contagious. \r \r DRK verifies all dogs are fully vaccinated before admission for daycare or boarding, and is by far the cleanest, most professional kennel in the area. I feel completely safe leaving Kingston there for daycare and boarding, and owner and staff alike are a pleasure to deal with.\r \r Evan\r Pros: big, clean facility, convenient, great staff more

Dog Heaven 7/7/2010

Thank you Del Rey Kennels! I travel a lot for work, and it has been challenging to say the least to find a place where I feel comfortable leaving my three year old Pomeranian Trigger. Trigger can be anxious without me, especially when she is not used to her surroundings. But from the very first time I dropped Trigger off at Del Rey Kennels for doggie daycare, she hasn't had time to be anxious because she is always playing with her many new dog friends, big and small. I can tell she feels safe and happy, and this makes all the difference to me. I started boarding with Del Rey Kennels a few weeks ago, and I could not be happier! I highly recommend this facility. The staff is great and your dog will love it. more

Great Facility! 7/3/2010

I recently boarded my 2 year old Rottweiler Tara at Del Rey Kennels for several nights, and could not be more pleased with the service. The owner and staff were extremely friendly, competent, and responsive to my questions and concerns. Tara is a big girl (100 lbs), and can be a lot to handle, and I was favorably impressed with the degree of control with which the owner and staff seemed to manage her. I also received video updates of Tara playing with lots of other dog friends, which made me feel good while I was away. Tara slept for two days straight when I got her back home (worn out from playing) and I will definitely take her back to Del Rey for play dates and extended boarding when work takes me away the next time. Thank you, Del Rey Kennels! more

Couldn't Be Happier!!! 6/24/2010

I have checked out every kennel on the westside and have boarded my dogs at most of these places as well. Del Rey Kennels has always been nothing but professional, treated my dogs as if they were their own and the wonderful videos and pictures they email me of the packs daily adventures is truly a special touch. Indeed it just goes to show you how they really do enjoy what they do and gives me a peek at how much fun my dogs are having while I'm away. It's great to know that there's a place I can leave my dogs, as I travel a lot, and feel totally comfortable that they will get the special attention they need :) Pros: Excellent staff,special attention to dogs with special needs Cons: There are none, that's why I board here more

Not impressed. 5/26/2010

After seeing video of my dog playing rough, which we don't allow, I went against my better judgment and trusted these employees knew what they were doing. Boy I was wrong! I was told there was an incident where my dog injured another dog. I had a hard time believing the story that it was completely unprovoked since my dog is a passive dog who runs with her tail between her legs whenever a dog fight breaks out in the dogpark. Then i noticed a laceration on her anus. So much for it being unprovoked. The employees did not know how it happened and claimed she did not have any injury wen she left. I'm disappointed my dogs injury went unnoticed and that they allowed rough play to escalate to harming another dog. I will definitely be more picky about who I leave my dog with. As far as I know these employees have no certified training and after talking with a trainer, vet, and dog behavorist they all agreed the situation/story given to me does not add up. Lesson learned. Pros: dogs are well exercised Cons: supervision and discipline are questionable more

A Home Away From Home 3/6/2010

My Boston Terrier mix is high maintenance to say the very least. She has a ton of allergies and a special diet with no treats allowed! So needless to say I am very weary about where I leave my dog when I have to go out of town. But Thanks to Del Rey Kennels I feel 100% assured that my little baby is all good. They made sure that she was only fed the food that I left for her and that all the friendly staff knew not to give her anything else! They took extra special care of her during her stay at Del Rey, so much so that she didn't want to leave when I picked her up. Thanks everybody at Del Rey Kennels, you guys rock!!!!! Pros: 100% safe, clean and friendly Cons: 0 more

Lucy loves Del Rey Kennels! 2/2/2010

Del Rey Kennels is truly home away from home for Lucy! She didn't notice that we had left her and she was so happy when we picked her up! During our trip the staff at Del Rey Kennels emailed photo's of Lucy playing with her new friends. We were really pleased that the facility is kept so clean. There is no doubt, our next vacation will include a pampering trip for Lucy back at Del Rey Kennels! Pros: Top notch kennel!! more

Better than a petsitter! 1/26/2010

I spent 9 years struggling to find petsitters because I didn't think a kennel would be a place my dog would be happy. Del Rey Kennels proved me wrong. Totally different, they treat each dog as if it were their own - responding to each of their individual needs. The staff is so nice, and for once I'm comfortable when I have to go away and leave my dog Daisy. She is so happy there! Highly recommended. Pros: Great staff, my dog loves it there more

Wonderful place for my dog!!! 1/21/2010

I leave my dog at Del Rey kennels whenever I have a long day at work or a weekend out of town. It's so nice to have a caring staff take care of my dog, Moxie, when I'm so busy. The kennel is very conveniently located, super clean and best of all, the staff & Georgie are very sweet to my dog. She even sends me videos of my dog during the day! I would recommend this place to any dog owner who wants to know that their dog is well taken care of while they're away. Pros: Conveniently located, nice staff, & CLEAN!!! more

Doggie Heaven! 1/17/2010

I got the name of Del Ray Kennels from a friend of mine and I'm so happy I did! I have 3 dogs, and they are really happy every time I pull into the parking lot. Georgie and Emily and Mack really make the dogs feel special and I love that I get a ""report card"" on their time there. It's extremely convenient to LAX, and the West Side. I know my dogs are happy we found Del Ray Kennels. Pros: Great Staff, Wonderful Facilities, Loving Owner Cons: NONE! more

These People Love Your Pet! 1/11/2010

These guys are great! I left my dog Nala (a rescue mix of boxer and lab) with them for a night. I got a call a couple hours later from one of the staff telling me that She had been fed was playing with one of the staffers and because she was being so good, She got a treat! I can't believe they called to check in with me! If you're looking for a safe and special place to leave your K9 this is it! Pros: so much love for my dog more

Parker's Favorite Place!!!! 1/4/2010

In a pinch for the holidays I was forced to board my 2 year old, rescue, half pit half lab who had never dealt well with being left alone. The kennel was clean and bright with a great vibe that Parker instantly picked up on. My fears were relieved when I received a video of him playing with the group just that evening! When I picked him up they had a print out that let me know what he did while he was there. I have since returned for daycare a few times a week and Parker has never been happier! A travel nightmare turned in to a blessing, we really lucked out in finding this place! Pros: Dog loving staff, low rates, report card Cons: He doesn't want to leave. more

I am so happy to find Del Rey Kennels! They are AMAZING! 1/4/2010

Tyson my Golden Retriever just got back from Del Rey Kennels for the holidays and I must say they are fantastic! I called last minuet in a panic when my walker fell through and they took him right away. From the moment I spoke with Emily I felt confident he would be in good hands. There is so much space for them to play and it is super clean. They even sent me pictures and facebook videos of him playing catch with everyone. The owners are truly amazing and you can tell they absolutely have a love for dogs. Pros: Super Friendly, Clean, Owers love Dogs, trustworthy more
