I have been taking my dogs to GPR for more than 10 years. They all love it! Epi and his staff are loving, compassionate and knowledgeable. My dogs don't like kennels so the cage free boarding is great for them.

I love this place! My two puppies have been going there for several months now and we couldn't be happier. The price is incredibly reasonable, and the staff and owner are highly knowledgeable and patient. My dogs don't walk in, they run. By the time I pick them, they're exhausted and sleep the rest of the evening. We all couldn't be happier. The facility is very clean and they show a lot of affection towards my dogs. We will continue to go there.

Roses are red, dog $hit is brown, Glendale Pet Resort is the BEST in town. Wanna know about a local small business? Look to the owner. Epi's love and understanding of animals runs deep. He is there everyday. Totally cool and knowledgeable guy on dogs especially shepherds. And he has hired a fantastic staff. My German Shepherd Max gets so excited at drop off. I know he is treated well with plenty of space to stretch out and play. Plus the cost is affordable.

Our dog Javi loves going to Glendale Pet Resort! Epi and his staff are so nice. They make our dog feel so welcome. We feel so comfortable leaving him there to get time to socialize with other dogs. The location is super convenient to us as we live in the Glassell Park/Eagle Rock area. Easy street parking. If you need a place to take your dog, bring them to Glendale Per Resort!
