Manymutts

Manymutts is a cage-free dog boarding and daycare service in Los Angeles, CA, that keeps dogs in a sitter's home instead of a kennel building. Boarding dogs get the run of the house and access to outdoor space. That setup tends to suit dogs who never settle in a run.

Services

• Cage-free boarding in a sitter's home, with three walks a day
• Dog daycare for long workdays
• Overnight in-home pet sitting at the pet's own house, roughly 7pm to 7am
• Pet taxi rides anywhere in the city, including the airport
• Sitting for cats, bunnies, guinea pigs and birds

How the stay works

Each client is assigned a dedicated sitter, with back-up sitters so care continues if plans change. Boarding dogs are walked three times a day, on leash through the neighborhood, and there are off-leash group adventures for dogs who enjoy them. Owners get text and photo updates each day, which is usually the first thing people ask about. Medication administration is available, and pickup and drop-off can be arranged.

Boarding and daycare both run cage-free, so dogs stay loose in the home rather than closed in kennels through the day.

Practical details

Boarding is $95 per night, the rate published on the Manymutts site. Booking is by phone at (310) 889-0697, and general questions can go to info@manymutts.com. Overnight sitting clients can add home care while the house is empty, including mail retrieval and plant watering.

Because the same sitter handles a household across visits, a dog sees a familiar face rather than a rotating staff. Owners who want to talk through a specific dog's routine or medication needs can start with a phone call.
