This family is dedicated to supporting and protecting and loving your pups. Sherri is a dedicated and fiercely loyal person to the health and safety of your dogs. You don't want to vaccinate or train your dog? Cool, you can't come here, she is strict about medical records and behavior of animals. We live in FV now and still come back for top level love and support after moving from HB. If you don't believe that these animals are something special talk to Sherri about their not so subtly message to her and saving her, it's a testament to why we don't deserve dogs.

We are going on two years of bringing our dog for daycare and occasional boarding at about Animal’s Best Friend and we wouldn’t take him anywhere else. He loves Sherri and her staff and is always eager to go. The staff has taken the time to get to know my reactive dog and has helped him socialize to the point where he has many doggie friends. I always feel our dog gets the best and most consistent care at Your Animal’s Best Friend. I highly recommend.

YABF is a great place to take your dog if you’re looking for a cage-free daycare filled with loving staff and great prices. My dog goes here twice a week and enjoys making new friends. She also gets spoiled because of her big sad cow eyes. I know that she’ll be safe and happy while I’m working. When I first brought my dog here, I was worried because she’s shy. When I picked her up they called her a “social butterfly”. I was in shock. I didn’t expect her to love daycare so much. The open plan/couch and bed set up was incredibly helpful in getting her out of her shell. Sherri and Dan are both responsive if I have questions or concerns. They are happy to give me updates with photos during the afternoon.

edit 2/22 we had been boarding our beloved senior lab here for the last year. never longer than a week. we decided to leave her at YABF recently while we were out of the country for 2 weeks and weren’t contacted once throughout the trip to be notified that her behavior or eating habits changed. the only update received was that she was doing good a few days into the trip. when i picked up my dog on february 20, she was barely able to get up to greet me. her ribs and spine were completely visible and her abdomen extremely swollen. unprovoked, but seeing the look on my face, a staff member simply said, “we tried to get her to eat more.” charged me and i left. when we took her to the vet, she had lost 3lbs even with the swollen abdomen. sadly we had to put her down less than 24 hours later as we learned she had been suffering from internal bleeding due to a tumor that ruptured during her stay. this rendered her unable to walk or eat and was completely obvious to me upon returning to pick up the dog i left . yet all we got was “she seemed fine” “how could we have known” “sometimes we see older dogs act like that when they’ve been here a while”. i will not place blame with YABF for the passing of an aging dog, but it is unforgivable not to notify an owner of behavioral changes when that dog is in your care. i took additional care with each visit to leave specific medical contacts and instructions, knowing that anything can happen. i overlooked the unanswered emails and requests for updates. i truly believed she was taken care of and they were just too busy to get back to me. i took that risk with YABF in good faith that at least 1 person would keep a closer eye on an ailing animal and thought to call me or her vet if she stopped eating or showing any signs of distress. i had faith that in my absence, someone here would notice the weight loss, bones sticking out, limping that wasn’t there previously, or in our case, being almost entirely unable to get up. i regret that my beautiful animal spent the last couple weeks of her life here and in pain. that no one noticed or cared enough to see her suffering. we will forever be heartbroken and have to live with the consequences of that decision. senior dog care is not for the faint of heart, and as owners we should all do better to guarantee our pets just a fraction of the love they bestow on us during their short times. i stand by my previous statement that this facility is not responsible for the cycle of life, but i can’t condone any level of negligence to someone providing a service that advertises care. based on my devastating experience, i offer 2 stars and a strong recommendation to use extra precaution if leaving your animal here more than a few days, or however long they can get by on their own. you never know what will go unnoticed. i advise against bringing a senior animal here as well.

After looking around for a professional dog care service for our wedding, we found Your Animal's Best Friend. My dog is like my child, since I don't have any children, and it was enormously important for her to be in our wedding. We got married on a Sunday on Labor Day weekend 2014 at Hyatt Huntington Beach. While most dog care services were closed Sundays and/or the holiday weekend, Your Animal's Best Friend was not only open, but provided handling services and transportation for my dog Penny to and from my wedding! Sherri handled Penny with care and professionalism my entire wedding ceremony, and before & after for photos. She was dressed professionally in case she appeared in any photos while handling Penny, and even got Penny dressed in her flower girl outfit for us. I dropped Penny off with Sherri in the morning with her outfit and food, and let Sherri know that Penny is afraid of larger dogs and is more comfortable around puppies or a small group of mellow dogs. Sherri showed me around and where she would have Penny, and I even met the other dogs Penny would be around to make sure I was okay with it. She arrived with Penny at the hotel right on time, and handled her while we took photos. She stayed with Penny the entire time, even when my family was handling her or she wasn't needed at that particular moment. My cousin walked Penny down the aisle, and Penny stayed with the groomsmen during the ceremony. We had Sherri sit in the front in case she needed to take Penny, and she walked Penny back out when the ceremony was over. She stayed for as long as I wanted after the ceremony to take pictures and pose her. She then took Penny back to the facility where she stayed the night until we picked her up the next morning. Sherri even sent me text message updates that Penny was okay upon their return. Sherri was everything we were looking and hoping for and more to make it possible to have Penny in our wedding. I can't say enough great things about how caring and professional they were in such a milestone in our lives!
