“Oil was great with Phoebe ! She sent us some pictures which were greatly appreciated. Phoebe had a wonderful time ! We would definitely consider leaving Phoebe with Oli again.”

“We are so beyond grateful for April! Our dog Frankie got sick right before our honeymoon, and we were so nervous to leave him. But April went above and beyond—nursing him back to health, making sure he was eating, hydrated, and loved every step of the way. She gave us regular updates, eased our minds, and treated Frankie like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter during such a stressful time. Thank you, April, for taking such amazing care of our boy! 🐾💛”

“Jonathan was amazing! I am super nervous about leaving my dog with anyone. But I felt super comfortable and reassured after meeting Jonathan and Poppy. He is very attentive and knowledgeable. I was updated daily and could see how comfortable and safe my dog felt. Could not recommend a sitter enough!”

“Kiyarash is a fantastic dog sitter. Was incredibly kind to our baby and takes his job seriously. Very knowledgeable and cares about the dogs he watches. I highly recommend his services”

“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. :)”

“Perry was amazing with my fur baby, Teddy! He was very communicative, reliable and treated Teddy like his own. Teddy really enjoyed her stay and loved spending time with his dog, Mookie. I also appreciated his flexibility to do a meet & greet before Teddy's 1st overnight at his home and to keep her for a few extra hours because of a delayed flight the evening of pick-up. I definitely recommend Perry's services for pet sitting and Teddy can't wait to return for another stay full of hikes, playtime and cuddles 😊”

“We boarded our 5-month-old puppy with Mariia for a day, and she was wonderful. She was caring, attentive, and kept us updated. Our pup felt safe, happy, and well taken care of. We’d gladly recommend Mariia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”

About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals and genuinely love caring for dogs of all personalities. Friends call me their dog’s favorite “aunt” because pups tend to feel comfortable and attached to me right away. I live in a peaceful Malibu beachside home with ocean breezes, nearby trails, and mountain views. Dogs here enjoy daily walks, fresh air, plenty of rest, and a calm, cozy space with lots of natural light. My home is safe, comfortable, and perfect for dogs who love both gentle adventure and deep relaxation. Having a pet fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home and create my own schedule, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day rather than stepping in and out. I’m active and spend a lot of time outdoors, so walks, beach time, and light hikes are already part of my daily rhythm. Your dog would be included in these routines in a way that feels balanced and appropriate for their energy level. Because I’m home most of the day, dogs are rarely left alone, and I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication, and quiet rest time. My week is intentionally structured to allow space for care, movement, and consistency, so pet sitting never feels rushed or secondary. Overall, pet care integrates seamlessly into my lifestyle, allowing me to offer calm, reliable, and hands-on attention every day. I care for every dog as if they were my own. My Malibu home is calm, clean, and intentionally set up to be safe and comfortable for dogs. I keep doors secured, maintain a tidy, pet-friendly space, and always supervise during indoor and outdoor time. My home has lots of natural light, cozy resting areas, and a peaceful atmosphere that helps dogs settle in easily. Daily care is tailored to each dog’s needs, whether that’s trail walks, beach walks, playtime, or plenty of rest. I stick closely to your dog’s routine for feeding, walks, and any special instructions, and I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and comfort at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, follow instructions carefully, and maintain consistency so dogs feel secure in their familiar environment. Communication is important to me, and I’m happy to share updates and photos so you always feel confident and at ease while your dog is in my care.
“Marcella is awesome she is a very caring and nurturing individual! She is really great with animals. I will definitely be using her in the future for all my animals! Thank you so much Marcella! 😊”

“This was my 2nd time booking Charli and I’m so happy she was available to watch my pup. Charli is so attentive and detailed which always leaves me 100% reassured that my pup is in safe and caring hands. Thank you again Charli!”

“Taylor took great care of my two dogs. I am new to the area and needed to find a dog sitter that was attentive, consistent and someone both me my dogs and felt comfortable with. Taylor exceeded my expectations and I will definitely use her in the future. I highly recommend Taylor!!!”


“Silvana was FANTASTIC! I would give her more stars if I could. Seriously the answer to all my doggie boarding prayers. I could not have asked for a better experience!”

“This was our second visit. Alexis and Melissa are wonderful caregivers! Gunner can be very anxious in new environments and not only was he relaxed but he was very happy on his visits. Alexis and Melissa send updates and photos throughout the day and certainly keep us notified about anything going on. We will certainly return.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Ori and how she cared for my dog Clyde. It was his first time being boarded and it was for 8 days...he was scared and anxious to the point he wasn't eating his food. Ori was kind enough to make him feel comfortable and hand fed him with his bone that he wanted to use as his spoon. Yes, you read that right, she fed him his food using his bone. LOL. She did this every night for him. Ori walked Clyde a lot but he was scared to walk far from the home, she didn't force him to do so. She allowed him to go as far as he wanted to before turning around. She also gave him his medication every day and made sure his nail did not get infected. Side note: Clyde ripped his nail off the day before boarding...so she was great in keeping an eye on it. Ori sent me pictures and videos of Clyde to help ease my mind...my own anxiety was through the roof. Her kids were kind to my dog (allowing him to be on their bed) and he was completely cared for and safe while I was out of the country. By the end of the stay, Clyde had calmed down and build a bond with her. I absolutely would use Ori again when I travel out of town. She is worth every penny. Thank you so much Ori and to your family for watching Clyde.”

“My pup had the best time with Brittany and Nick. She looked so comfortable and happy in all the pictures they sent me throughout my trip. I will definitely keep sending my pup with them and I trust them to take the best care of her! Thank you, both!!”

“Needed help with my dog on a trip to Malibu so we could enjoy the day while he would be able to enjoy his day too somewhere more dog friendly. Signed up for Rover to try that solution and worked great. Booked the day before and had no problem. Melissa showed up on time to pick Rio up, took great care of him, sent multiple videos during a 1 day stay, and returned him happy and fed. Couldn't ask for more, thanks for your help”
