I work from home, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day. Walks outside in nature, structured playtime in the large yard, rest breaks, and meals are part of a steady routine so dogs feel secure and settled. Your pet is never left alone for long stretches and always has supervision and engagement.

Safety, trust & environment
I intentionally limit the number of dogs I host so every pup receives focused supervision and individualized attention. I follow each dog’s regular routine closely — including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and bedtime habits, so they feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing.

Information LUCINDA H. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pet, I like to know as much as I can to make sure they’re comfortable and happy. Things that are especially helpful: 1.Their daily routine (meals, walks, meds, bedtime) 2.Any health issues, allergies, or meds they take 3.How they do with other animals, kids, or new people 4.What they like (or don’t like)—toys, treats, cuddles, etc. 5.Any quirks, fears, or behaviors I should be aware of The more I know up front, the better I can care for your pet just the way you would.
A typical day
A typical day with me includes plenty of attention, playtime, and sticking to each pet’s usual routine. For dogs, we’ll enjoy time in the fenced yard, go on outdoor adventures, and lots of belly rubs and fetch if they’re into it. For cats, I give them space to do their thing but always check in for play sessions, snuggles, or just a quiet presence nearby. I keep litter boxes fresh, food and water topped off, and make sure they’re feeling safe and settled.

Pet care experience
About Me: Hi, I’m Lucinda! I provide small-group, in-home dog boarding in Pacific Palisades for families in Brentwood, Santa Monica, Malibu, and surrounding West LA areas. Why Dogs (and Owners) Love Staying Here 🐾 Intentionally small group setting 🌿 Large, fully fenced private yard 🧠 Experienced with high-energy and anxious dogs ❤️ Individualized attention, never a kennel environment Caring for dogs isn’t just what I do, it’s what I love. My goal is simple: when you’re away, your dog feels completely safe, engaged, and cared for, not “boarded.” The Environment: Dogs have access to a large, secure backyard where they can run and play on natural grass. Inside, the home is engaging and structured so dogs who need attention or routine feel supported. Special Experience: • Large breeds • High-energy dogs • Dogs with mild anxiety • Pups who need confidence-building or are "still learning" Every dog is treated like family, with consistency and affection so they feel secure while you’re away. I know how hard it is to leave your dog. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re safe, engaged, and happy. — Lucinda

Reviews
Lucinda took wonderful care of our dog Kona while we were away! She sent daily photo updates, kept us in the loop throughout the stay, and was always quick to respond to messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our pup was well cared for and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Lucinda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and thoughtful sitter!
Our 2 dogs stayed overnight with Lucinda and they had a great time! Though the visit was short, we were so grateful they stayed with her and on short notice too. It was clear they were happy and well cared for! We got adorable photos and updates throughout their stay. Lucinda is the best!
Lucinda was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Gigi! This was Gigi’s first time staying with her, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Lucinda took exceptional care of her, made her feel comfortable and loved, and it was clear that Gigi had an amazing time. Lucinda is kind, reliable, communicative, and has a genuine love for animals. We are so grateful to have found her and look forward to our pup staying with her again. :)
Lucinda was so communicative! She clearly loves dogs so much. Highly recommend her!
