Your Animals Best Friend - Huntington Beach, California

This has been our dog's home away from home for the past three years! We take her for day care and occasionally boarding, and she LOVES it! She is loved and cared for and gets to play, and she's always so happy and excited when we drop her off. Sherri and all of the staff are wonderful, they truly care! Plus they are pretty flexible and affordable, especially compared to other places. Could not recommend them more!

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.

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.

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!

Sherri and her facility are just simply AMAZING! She is a genuinely devoted, loving caring, good natured, angel on earth and is also a cancer survivor with an enormous zest for life! She's a gem, a true blessing and truly makes such an incredible impact and huge difference to our society with her enormous compassion she exudes to all animals and humans alike. Thank you Sherri for everything you do and who you are!

BEST DAYCARE EVER! I have been a client of YABF for six years now. Previous to finding YABF I used an independent dog sitter when we had only one dog who crated and left my baby all day until I came to pick up. So I was on the hunt to find the best, and I did with YABF!

Like many paw-parents our girls (we have two corgis now) they are our babies. I can not say enough good things about Sherrie and her team. She not only is sensitive to my fears when we starting bringing our dogs to her, she is very thoughtful whenever I need extra help to come up with solutions. I write this because there are a lot of options for boarding and daycare, but it's when you need true help with a schedule or extra love for a pet that you see the true colors of people in this industry. I love her custom approach to pet care as not all families or pets are the same. I love that our girls are treated as though they were the pets of the team there.

Our youngest (Ffion) was a Covid puppy. Since we couldn't leave the house she was not socialize or learned to be away from us. She has separation issues and the team is great with her. My dogs run to the gate to go in, and that's a good sign!

Sherrie thank you for all you do for me and our family. Nia and Ffion are very fortunate to have you and your team care for them

I can't recommend Sherrie and team highly enough. I need more stars. Please more stars!

We are ecstatic that we found Sherri, Dan, and family at YABF! We were planning for months to add a puppy to our family in April 2020. Then COVID hit, so we got the puppy (Blue) a bit earlier and developed a "pandemic puppy" who was extremely resistant to crate training. As things started opening more in 2021, we got a second puppy (Belle) to keep Blue company since he'd never been home alone. My husband and I have year-round commitments and travel spanning all hours. A few pack walk friends highly recommended Sherri for daycare needs at highly flexible hours. I was nervous because Belle had developed overexcitement and leash aggression on walks. Blue had some quirks of his own. We are SO GLAD we went by to meet Sherri and Dan. The environment they have created at YABF is beautiful. There are no crates and their expertise with dogs is amazing. Sherri gave me regular updates regarding their progress slow socializing with other dogs, including sending pictures. When it's time to go to YABF, we tell Blue and Belle they are going to "school" and the excitement is incredible. They run to get there and come back beautifully exhausted. Sherri has been super flexible with scheduling. I had a vet emergency with Blue and she was able to take Belle for daycare on minutes notice. If either dog is on special restrictions, they take great care. I trust them 100% with my pups. I've referred several friends here and they have had similar incredible experiences. I literally cannot say enough about the caring first rate service provided at Your Animal's Best Friend. My only regret: that I didn't go to them sooner! Thank you to everyone there for taking such fantastic care of my babies when I'm away!!!
