Who We Are…
AND WHAT WE DO
We are an indoor outdoor doggie daycare, boarding, grooming, and dog training facility located within the city of Long Beach. Our daycare and boarding is designed to provide your pet with the comfort and well being of a home, while they are away from home. The pups play area of about 14,000 square feet is accommodated with shade, doggie turf, splash pads, swamp coolers and constant supervision from our loving staff members and if your dog is not the type to want to play and socialize with others, we will gladly accommodate. Also for your complete comfort we have web-cams set up within our play areas, providing you the chance to be able to get a glimpse of your dog(s) in action, and if you need your pet cleaned and beautified before going home, are grooming will gladly take care of that. Our grooming is equipped with high quality shampoos and conditioners to best suit your pets’ needs, along with a caring grooming staff attending to them. Lastly, our facility also provides obedience training for owners who need help with getting their pups under control and bringing back that peace and harmony into their homes.
For over 18 years we have been providing our customers with the best quality care for their pets and we look forward in continuing to do so for your pet and for years to come. Call or visit us today.

Jose Fonseca
Founder & CEO
My passion for animals began long before Pet Set. Growing up, I was always the person who connected with dogs, cats, and any animal that needed care. That love eventually became the inspiration for creating a business built around one simple idea: treat every pet as if they were part of your own family.
In 2001, Pet Set began as a small in-home pet sitting business with a commitment to providing dependable, compassionate care that owners could trust. What started with caring for a handful of pets has grown into a company serving thousands of families through boarding, daycare, grooming, training, and veterinary services across the United States and Mexico.
One of the greatest blessings in my life has been becoming a father. Raising my son while growing Pet Set has continually reminded me that family always comes first. That perspective has shaped the way we care for every pet that comes through our doors—because we know they aren’t “just pets.” They’re beloved members of the family.
Over the years, our journey has included exciting growth, unexpected challenges, and valuable lessons. Through every chapter, one thing has never changed: our commitment to providing exceptional care, building lasting relationships with our clients, and creating a safe, welcoming environment where pets can thrive.
More than two decades later, I remain grateful for the trust our clients place in us every day. It is an honor to care for your pets, and I look forward to continuing that mission for many years to come.
Thank you for being part of the Pet Set family.

KRISTI
DOG TRAINER
Kristi joined our staff in December 2009; she started her love for dogs at a very young age. Growing up she was the kid that wouldn’t get in trouble for causing ruckus, but the child that would be scolded for paying more attention to the dogs in her surroundings than the subject at hand. Kristi’s journey to become a trainer started back in 2002 and since then has been providing families and their dogs with the tools they need to have peace and harmony within their homes.
