About Us:
Doggie Bliss is a family-run business founded by Shannon Hill in 2010. After relocating from New York to Santa Monica with her partner and two Boston Terriers, Shannon quickly fell in love with the area's dogs and their incredible owners. What started as a one-woman operation has blossomed into a team of devoted animal lovers. Every Doggie Bliss team member is carefully selected to provide the same level of love, care, and compassion that Shannon brought to the business from day one.
We’re passionate about what we do – and we think you’ll see the difference in every visit.
Let us bring a little bliss to your furry family! Contact us today to schedule your first service.

First walk. VERY successful. Jackie is great and exudes a dog friendly energy. Bo and Zak can't wait for their next walk tomorrow. Doggie Bliss is very professional and detailed. I'm highly confident that they will deliver the results my kids are seeking.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We are sure to keep our pricing competitive with other local companies who are insured, licensed and bonded.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After learning our new client's needs and expectations, we assign one main dog walker or pet sitter that will meet the client for a complimentary consultation. Each client will also have their own online client account where they can request and cancel walks, update client and pet info, view their schedule and past invoices, etc. Most clients begin their service shortly after their initial meet-and-greet.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
15+ years of professional pet care and customer service!
