Rawhide and Catnip

Rawhide and Catnip offers in-home dog boarding and daycare in Los Angeles, working out of a house at 2055 Rodney Drive in the 90027 zip. Dogs stay cage-free in a home setting instead of a row of runs. The same household also handles dog walking and in-home cat sitting, so one contact can cover a whole trip.

• Coverage across Silver Lake, Los Feliz, and Koreatown

What sets it apart

Twenty years in business is a long run for a small pet-care operation, and Rawhide and Catnip is 5-star rated. Boarding happens in a private home rather than a commercial building, which tends to suit dogs that get rattled by rows of kennels and constant barking. Owners who want to see the setup can ask about it when they call.

Is it the right fit?

The home-based, cage-free format works best for dogs that are comfortable in a household with other pets around. Anyone whose dog has specific medical or behavioral needs should raise it on the first call. Households with both a dog and a cat can also arrange cat sitting in their own home during the same trip.

Practical details

Published rates run $42 to $58 per night, and the pricing comes from the business's own site, so it is worth confirming the current rate. Booking is by phone at 323-741-2844, and questions can go to info@rawhidecatnip.com. Calling well ahead for holiday weeks is a good idea.
