The series follows Dottie Wendy "Dot" Pebiki, a cheerful and curious 6-year-old girl growing up in a big family. Dot often finds herself caught up in everyday adventures, whether it’s exploring the neighborhood, solving small problems, or getting involved in her siblings’ plans. Her older brother, Dashiel Adams "Dash" Pebiki, is 9 years old and Dot’s main adventure buddy. Dash is confident and can sometimes be a little vain, but he is also friendly, loyal, and always willing to help his family and friends. Dot and Dash’s younger siblings, Dee Pebiki and Del Pebiki, add even more energy to the household. As the younger members of the family, they often join Dot and Dash’s adventures, creating funny situations and bringing their own personalities to the mix. The Pebikis are also close with the Garcia family, including Sid Garcia and Sally Garcia. Dot has a crush on Sid, while Dash has a crush on Sally, leading to sweet and comedic moments as the kids navigate friendship and childhood feelings. At its core, The Pebiki Kids is a family sitcom about sibling relationships, neighborhood adventures, and the everyday comedy that comes from growing up in a big, busy family.
