Dog Boarding in Malibu

About: For us, this isn’t just dog sitting it’s a second home. We don’t treat dogs like bookings or numbers. Every dog that stays with us becomes part of the family, receiving plenty of attention, affection, and supervision throughout the day. We provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel comfortable, especially those who may be shy or adjusting to a new place. We’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for the past three years, with stays ranging from one week to as long as two months. We’re happy to provide recommendations if needed. We also have a friendly 5-year-old mini Goldendoodle mix at home, so your dog will always have a companion to play with and feel at ease. We keep owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you’ll always have peace of mind while you’re away. What truly sets us apart is the consistency and genuine care. We treat every dog like our own. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine, as we’re home most of the time and able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. We plan our schedule around their needs, including regular potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and rest. Our whole family is involved in caring for the dogs. We have a 24-year-old son and a 19-year-old daughter, so there’s almost always someone at home to provide attention, supervision, and companionship. Dogs are never left alone for long periods, and we make sure they feel included in our day-to-day activities. Whether it’s relaxing indoors, supervised outdoor time, or just being nearby, they’re always cared for and watched over. On a weekly basis, we keep things consistent so dogs can settle into a routine quickly, which helps them feel comfortable and secure during their stay. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. In our home, we provide a clean, secure, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. We primarily care for small to medium-sized dogs, allowing us to maintain a calm, safe, and more personalized setting. We take time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs so we can care for them accordingly. We supervise dogs closely throughout the day and never leave them unattended for long periods. Our home is a great fit for dogs who enjoy companionship, consistency, and a quieter environment. We’re experienced with longer stays, ranging from one week to as long as two months, and we help dogs settle in comfortably as if they’re part of the family. We’re also comfortable caring for senior dogs and administering time-sensitive medication, including an 11-year-old Maltese we regularly care for who requires medication twice daily. We follow all feeding instructions carefully, ensure fresh water is always available, and maintain a consistent schedule for potty breaks, playtime, and rest. If needed, we can separate dogs to keep everyone safe and stress-free. Communication is very important to us, so we provide regular updates, photos, and messages to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. Above all, we offer a true home environment with consistent, attentive care—we treat every dog like our own.

“We could not be more thrilled with April and her care for our Lulu. Everything about our experience with April exceeded my expectations in every way. She is kind, warm, and easy to talk with, while being professional and clear. She sent us tons of photos of Lulu throughout the day and it was clear April treated our Lulu like a member of the family. I could not be more pleased with April’s attention to detail but also just her overall demeanor. I would feel very at peace leaving our Lulu in her care going forward!! She is the best!!!”

“I can not stress enough how amazing Susan was to work with. Her kindness and professionalism was such a pleasant surprise. You always expect someone who is watching your dogs to be kind and professional but she took it to a lvl I never expected and fully appreciated. My girls had a blast with her all day. She basically took them on a doggie play day for the entire day. They were pampered and loved the whole day. We were visiting the area in our RV and spent the day at Universal. We were not stressed at all worrying about our girls because she kept us updated with pictures and videos the whole day. We could tell from the videos that our girls were having a great day. If we were local I would hire her just to take our girls out for doggie fun days. 100% recommend her.”

“Lucinda and her family took great care of Lilo and kept me up to date with pictures of their adventures! I enjoyed my vacation stress-free knowing she was in great hands. :)”

“An absolute 5-star experience! I left my dog with Shahrzad for a week while I was away on vacation, and I couldn't be happier. Her home is beautiful and the facilities are fantastic-she even has her backyard sectioned off safely for small and big dogs. I received photos and videos every single day, which gave me total peace of mind. Shahrzad didn't just watch my dog; she kept them active with morning walks, playtime, and even a little bit of training. My dog came back home happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I highly recommend Shahrzad's boarding services and will definitely be booking with her again!”

“AnnaDee and Julio are exceptional. Their family loves dogs and cats, and I could tell from the first day I met them. They are such a sweet family. My dog is very comfortable with them. They walk my dog and play with her every day. She is being taken care of so well. Thank you so much! I will definitely come back to them.”

“Mariia was so good with my Dog and told me to bring her back! She was available and super nice! I’ll definitely use her again. Great with dogs!”

“Kiyarash did a great job taking care of my Rumi for the week. I had an unexpected business trip and needed someone who had great reviews but also had experience with french bulldogs. His place has plenty of room in the back for dogs to play. He sent me videos every day Will hire again”

“Jennifer was awesome! She was available to watch our dog within a weeks notice and took such good care of him 😀 sent tons of photos and updates. We felt super comfortable and safe knowing our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend using Jennifer if you ever need a sitter in the area. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️”

“Our dog Clementine had an amazing time staying with Carmen and her dog Cathy for six nights. Carmen’s genuine love and attentiveness toward dogs really stood out—she cared for Clementine as if she were her own. I truly appreciated the daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing Clementine was happy and well cared for. Carmen even went the extra mile by introducing her to fun puzzles and healthy treats. It was clear Clementine felt right at home, and I’m sure she’d be more than happy to stay with Carmen again.”

“Rajarshi is absolutely amazing! He watched our dog like as if he was his own child! He sent us regular updates with pictures and videos of what our dog was doing during the day! Gave him 3-4 walks during the day, played with him and took such great care of him! We will always leave our dog with Rajarshi! Rajarshi’s background and experience in fostering dogs makes him one of the most experienced & well rounded pet sitter who you can trust blindfoldedly! I would say that anyone and everyone can trust him with their pets! I wish I could give him 10 stars ⭐️ but 5 is the maximum we can give so giving him 5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“It was my first time leaving Artie with someone new for an extended period, and Nadege and Camille were wonderful. I knew he was in good hands after meeting them, and I got pictures everyday showing how at-home he was with them. I’m thrilled to have found them and look forward to me next time ❤️.”
