Family-Owned, Pet-Focused Since 2006

Cuddles N Suds was born in 2006 out of a mother's determination and a lifelong love for animals. When Marlo decided to start her own business as a single mom in the Conejo Valley, mobile pet grooming was the perfect fit. It allowed her to build something meaningful on her own terms while still being there for her children. What began as a one-woman operation and a single grooming van parked in driveways around Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village quickly grew into something the whole community came to rely on.

From the very beginning, Cuddles N Suds was built on a simple promise: every pet deserves to be treated with the same love and gentleness they receive at home. Our fully equipped mobile salon comes directly to your door — whether you live near the Oaks Mall in Thousand Oaks, the Promenade at Westlake, the hillside communities of Agoura Hills, or the gated estates along Mulholland Highway in Calabasas. Each appointment is one-on-one, so your pet receives our complete, undivided attention from start to finish.

Over the past two decades, Cuddles N Suds has become the trusted mobile pet groomer across the Conejo Valley and beyond. We have groomed thousands of dogs and cats in Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Simi Valley, Malibu, Newbury Park, Moorpark, Oak Park, and Camarillo. From the Lang Ranch and Dos Vientos neighborhoods of Thousand Oaks to the beachside homes along Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, from the Wood Ranch community in Simi Valley to the quiet streets of Oak Park near Medea Creek — our mobile grooming van is a familiar sight in driveways across Ventura and western Los Angeles counties.

In 2016, Marlo's son Corwin — born and raised right here in Westlake Village — officially joined the family business after completing professional grooming school, carrying forward the same values his mom instilled from day one. Today, with the addition of Krista to our talented team, Cuddles N Suds continues to grow while staying true to its roots: a local, family-run business where every pet is treated like one of our own.

We are proud to be your neighbors. The Conejo Valley is not just where we work — it is where we live, where we raised our family, and where we have built lifelong friendships with the families and pets we serve. We love hiking the trails at Wildwood Park and Chesebro Canyon, enjoying the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza, and watching the sunset over Westlake Lake. When you choose Cuddles N Suds, you are not just booking a grooming appointment — you are welcoming a local family into yours.

Marlo is the heart and soul behind Cuddles N Suds, and her story is one of resilience, passion, and an extraordinary bond with animals. In 2006, as a single mom looking for a way to support her family while being present for her children, she took a leap of faith and launched her own mobile pet grooming business right here in the Conejo Valley. It was a bold move, but Marlo has never been one to shy away from hard work — especially when animals are involved.

Anyone who has ever met Marlo will tell you the same thing: there is something truly special about the way she connects with animals. It is not something she learned from a textbook — it is a gift she has carried her entire life. Dogs that are nervous around strangers will calm down in her presence. Cats that refuse to cooperate with anyone else will sit patiently in her hands. Pet owners across Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, and Calabasas have marveled at it for years, and it remains one of the defining qualities that sets Cuddles N Suds apart from any other grooming service in the area.

Marlo approaches every grooming session with the same philosophy she has held since day one: every animal deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. She takes the time to read each pet's body language, adjusting her approach to match their temperament and energy. Whether she is grooming a Goldendoodle in Westlake Village, a rescue Pit Bull mix in Simi Valley, a senior Labrador near the Oaks Mall in Thousand Oaks, or a nervous cat in one of the gated communities of Calabasas, Marlo brings the same level of care and attention to every appointment.

A lifelong Conejo Valley local, Marlo has deep roots in the community she serves. She has watched Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, and the surrounding cities grow and change over the decades, and she takes immense pride in being a trusted part of them. From Newbury Park to Calabasas, from Moorpark to Malibu, her clients span the entire service area — and many of her earliest clients are still with her today. She has had the joy of grooming multiple generations of family pets, welcoming new puppies into families whose first dog she groomed nearly twenty years ago. For Marlo, these are not just customers — they are friends, neighbors, and extended family.

Beyond her technical skill, what truly drives Marlo is her dream of building something lasting. She always hoped that one day her son Corwin would join the business, and when he did in 2016, it was one of the proudest moments of her life. Watching the next generation carry forward the values she built Cuddles N Suds on — compassion, quality, and genuine love for animals — is everything she ever worked for.
