“We were a bit nervous at first leaving our dog, but Nicholas and Laura completely put our minds at ease. They were warm, communicative, and clearly experienced, everything we hoped for in a sitter. Our dog had a fantastic stay and came home happy and relaxed. We felt so comfortable knowing our girl was in such caring hands. Looking forward to booking with them again!”
“April took wonderful care of Toby during his day with her! She made sure he got plenty of walks and sent tons of adorable photos to keep me updated. She’s incredibly friendly, easy to communicate with, and very responsive. I could tell Toby had a great time. I would definitely trust and recommend April!”
“I had the pleasure of having Nina watch my pets while I was away for a quick two-day trip to Disneyland, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment I met her, it was clear she genuinely cares for animals. She was attentive, reliable, and gave me complete peace of mind knowing my pets were in such capable hands. Nina kept me updated, followed all instructions perfectly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. I returned home to happy, well-cared-for pets—and that says everything. I have no doubt in my mind that Nina would provide the same exceptional care to any other pet lucky enough to be under her watch. Highly recommend!”
“Mobina was great with my girls! She kept me updated and sent photos. My girls were fed, walked, and she even cleaned there harnesses 🥹. I felt very comfortable with leaving my girls with her and I was so happy she could do it so last minute! I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter she truly loves dogs and is very helpful. Thank u Mobina I look forward to seeing you next time!!”
“Dodi was wonderful with our Mia! She sent updates and pictures so we knew Mia was OK the whole time, and Mia had ball getting to play with the other dogs. Mia came home a happy girl. Thank you Dodi!!”
About: I'm a sensitive, caring responsible individual who loves to play with dogs and with whom dogs love to play. I've worked at the Glendale, CA Humane Society Shelter walking dogs and really enjoyed the experience. I've owned dogs for a good part of my life. However, I recently had to put Taffy, my last dog, to sleep. She was 16 and not doing well. It was heart wrenching and I thought perhaps that rather getting another, I could give the love I have for dogs to others, without having the ultimate burden of ownership. I live in Agoura Hills, CA. There lots of room for dogs to walk and play, lots of trees and grass for dogs to sniff and explore. There are also lots of other dogs in the community and opportunities for dogs to socialize, if the owners and the dogs want. I have a fenced yard and I work from home. I have a flexible schedule. Consequently, I can adapt my schedule to your dog's schedule. I have a fenced yard and I have no other dogs. Even though the house is on two levels, it's easy for dogs to navigate.
About: I’ve had two dogs my whole life—so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. From energetic puppy phases to the slower pace of senior care, I’ve experienced the full range of what it means to love and look after a dog. I know how important it is to provide structure, affection, and attention tailored to each pet’s needs. I just finished my summer classes at Pepperdine, so I’m spending the rest of the summer in Malibu with a flexible schedule—perfect for pet sitting and dog walking! I love being active and out in nature, whether that’s hiking, going on beach walks, or exploring local parks, and I’d be thrilled to bring your dog along for the adventure. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because it combines everything I enjoy: staying outdoors, being present, and forming real connections—especially with animals.
“Cleo's very caring, easy to communicate with and very responsive. She and Ryan provide a safe and loving home for our Buddy. The ranch has plenty of space for dogs to roam and play or relax and chill. In our opinion, it's a great place for any dog! Buddy loves Cleo, Ryan, the ranch and their dogs!! Thanks Cleo & Ryan :)”
About: I grew up with a golden retriever, Casey, and a terrier, Charlie. I am now best friends with my girlfriend’s golden, Larry. I am very active, love to play fetch, go for walks, hikes, and the beach with our dog. He doesn’t live with my so all the space and furniture are open to whatever pet I may be sitting at the time! I work in Thousand Oaks, but live in Agoura Hills. My work schedule is extremely flexible, and can come home and stay as often as I please. Plenty of food, water, and exercise. They’re welcome to lounge on the couch, and go to the nearest park for fetch, or a drive over to Malibu if they prefer!

“Mando and his girlfriend took my dog in on a whim while I was on vacation in Malibu, in desperate need of some time to hike and explore. They were very helpful, angels actually. G seemed very happy and cared for when I picked him up. He also smelt of sunscreen from time at the pool, maybe? I thought it was cute. Huge thank you for your generosity.”
