Welcome to a Pet Resort for Happy Dogs and Cats Traveling via LAX!

Kennel Club LAX stands out as the premier pet boarding facility in Los Angeles, offering unmatched convenience and first-class pet care for traveling pets. Located just minutes from LAX, it’s the perfect choice for locals or travelers with a need for short- or long-term stays and peace of mind knowing their pets are in expert hands.

Our spacious, 12,000-square-foot facility is designed to accommodate the needs of all pets and pet parents, with separate areas for cats and dogs. The goal is a calm and comfortable environment for each guest from check-in to pick-up.

LAX’s Expansive Luxury Pet Hotel

Our top priorities are your pet’s comfort and well-being, which is why Kennel Club LAX offers a different kind of experience. 

Our facility’s large, open spaces are designed for both play and relaxation to meet your pet’s unique needs. Staff monitor pets 24/7 to ensure they get all the attention they need. Private playtime with attendants is a top priority for pets going through relocation to ensure a fun and restful experience.

We even use a top-tier air quality system that provides better-than-hospital-grade filtration.

Your pet will enjoy private sleeping quarters — we never keep pets in small, cramped crates. This pet hotel even includes The Cattery, a feline-friendly area just for your cat.

Our thoughtful design allows each pet to experience the perfect balance of active play and rest, making our pet boarding facility a place they’ll love to return to on future trips.

Treat your dog to a stay in the Bark Avenue Suites, specifically for dogs in the midst of relocation. Spacious rooms feature elevated bedding and fresh blankets in climate-controlled surroundings.

The Cattery is a completely separate area from our dog daycare for feline furry friends who need boarding services. Choose from single, double, or Very Important Kitty (VIK) condos with climbing towers and additional add-ons like kitty aerobics and fish and chips for extra-special stays.

Don’t Just Take Our Word for It

“I have used The Kennel a lot over the last four or five years. I live in Costa Mesa and drive my dog, Delilah, up to the Kennel because she gets such good care there-from the walks, to the busy bones at night. I never worry about her there when I gone on trips because I know she gets a lot of care and attention. Delilah is my “baby” even if she weighs 85 lbs! I want the best for her, so I bring her to The Kennel at LAX when I have to board her.”
– Linda Brown

“There are very few times I have actually sat down to write a review. I am doing this now because of the exceptional service we get at the Kennel Club LAX. The employees are fantastic. They are always welcoming, attentive, compassionate and go above and beyond to accommodate us. Our dogs LOVE going to the Kennel Club LAX. When we pick them up their tails wag so hard. Also the grooming department is the best in the city!”
– Ingrid Berg

“The Kennel Club provides the best experience for the pets and its owners at the best price. The quality of services is one of a kind. My dogs have always received the best care and attention from the Kennel Club.”
– Marcela Martin

We can help with all of your pet’s travel plans. Pets lucky enough to be traveling through LAX will enjoy all Kennel Club LAX has to offer.

All cats should have the FVRCP, also known as the “3-in-1” vaccine, within 12-36 months based on your veterinarian’s recommendations.

Trained staff members ensure the socialization of your dog with others, but private boarding is available if needed. Females in heat or intact males aren’t excluded from our facility, but they will not be able to participate in group play.

Our pet suites are large enough to accommodate multiple dogs. Contact us for more information about group accommodations.

Our staff is able to administer medications per prescription instructions, including injectable medications. An additional charge is applied to medication administration needs except for vitamins at mealtime.If your pet needs veterinary care, we will make every effort to contact your preferred vet or our on-call vet in an emergency.

Kennel Club LAX offers boarding for pets who need to meet quarantine requirements upon arrival from high-risk rabies countries. Dogs boarded under this CDC import program are kept separate from pets boarded for standard stays.

Foreign-vaccinated dogs coming from high-risk rabies countries must get rabies serology titers from a CDC-approved lab 28 days before travel to the U.S. When not possible, dogs must be quarantined for 28 days upon arrival instead.
