Meet Marley

Welcome to our corner of the internet! I'm Paige, and this is Marley, my adventurous Golden Retriever who inspired the creation of OC Dog Friendly. Together, we explore Orange County and beyond, discovering the best dog-friendly destinations and sharing our experiences with fellow pet lovers.

Our Story

When Marley joined my life, she opened my eyes to the world of dog-friendly adventures. From discovering hidden trails to finding pet-welcoming cafes, every day became an opportunity to explore. Our journey led to the creation of this website, helping other pet parents find wonderful experiences to share with their furry friends.
