Doggy Day Care in Baywood-Aragon, San Mateo, CA

“Highly recommend! Michael, his wife, and their pup Kirby are warm and welcoming. Little Bear struggles with separation anxiety and fortunately, he adjusted quickly to their home. Likely because of the good vibes, chill environment, sweet pet parents and a level of understanding and flexibility that is much appreciated. Huge yard and conveniently located. Great sitter!!”

“Enzo loved hanging out with Nicole and Rex! Nicole was so kind to open her very dog-friendly home to him and she was super sweet and patient while he got comfortable. He warmed up to her right away and clearly felt safe there. It was his first time staying with anyone other than us and Nicole made it so easy and stress free. Enzo was super happy when we picked him up and it was obvious that he had a great time. Thanks so much, Nicole, for making this an excellent first experience! We’ll definitely be back for another playdate soon!”

“Andy took such good care of Korra. Korra had fun playing with Milo, going for walk and even got pan fried beef for lunch! Now that's more than most of us get for our lunch 😀. Andy also shared lots of pictures and videos during the day. We will definitely book Andy for future daycare and boarding needs.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs over 50 years since childhood. As a retired doctor, I understand health and behavior well. Neighbors and friends often trust me with walking, feeding, and caring for their pets, knowing they’re in safe and loving hands. As a retired doctor, I now enjoy a peaceful life with a flexible schedule. I’m home most days and would love to spend time walking, playing, and caring for your dogs. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends and holidays. My home is quiet and pet-friendly, with a secure backyard and plenty of space. I focus on safety, comfort, and calm interaction. Your pet will have my full attention, and I can easily handle special needs or medication if required.

“Jacques had a great time at Diana and Michael's for daycare! He was comfortable immediately at the meet and greet and sooo excited when we went back for the daycare. The family are all animal lovers and he seemed to bond very quickly (which is highly unusual) to Michael's Dad and Michael (at the meet and greet) which I still am amazed. As a rescue, he is very wary of most if not all men but not these guys! Diana sent me several pictures through out the day which was appreciated. I highly recommend them and will use the again!”

“Anna and Conrad took great care of Teddy for the day and was able to accommodate our last minute request for booking and changes. Our guy is a little shy around other dogs so they were extra patient and caring to ensure he was okay and even allowed us to meet before our daycare so the dogs can get exposure. We also have a special diet and due to a recent illness and they were able to continue with our feeding instructions (even letting us know how much he consumed in the meal). I would be more than happy to drop off our dog for another session with them. Thank you Anna, Conrad, Mochi, and Olive!”

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was young. Had a dog when I was in high school and recently adopted a dog about a year ago. I am patient and will make sure your dog gets the care they need. I work remotely and love spending time around animals because it just brings me great joy. I currently have a 5 y/o Jindo rescue, but I would love to watch and take care of more animals:) Depending on the service, I will not let your dog out unleashed and will read your instructions carefully to make sure your dog is well looked after. For cats, I will follow the owner’s instructions and ensure that the cat is well cared for.

“Melissa’s home and yard is puppy paradise. Tons of room to run and lot’s of toys. If you have a young dog with tons of energy check this place out!”

About: From wild puppy zoomies to slow strolls with seniors, I’ve done it all! I’ve raised our corgi since she was a puppy helping with crate training, leash skills, potty training, learning new tricks, etc. I’ll adjust my care to meet your dog’s energy and needs, whether that’s playing fetch or just offering a calm and comfortable environment. Your dog will get treated just as if they were my own. I’m currently working from home full-time so I have the time and freedom to give your dogs the attention, play, and care they deserve. I take my own dog on multiple walks and trips to the dog park everyday and your pup is welcome to come along! My schedule is flexible and can be tailored to fit you and your dogs needs. I will stick to your pets usual routines to keep them comfortable, so please let me know their schedule around walks, meals, playtime, and naps, and whatever else your dog loves to do. I always keep a clean, safe environment and give each pet plenty of attention, belly rubs, and mental stimulation. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming them into mine, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and never alone. I live in an apartment but can easily take your dog for a walk around the neighborhood or just a short ride from the nearest dog park.
