“Michael was great! I left my dog Echo with him for 3 days and he took care of Echo who seemed to really enjoy Michael’s house and yard. Michael sent daily updates and photos, and my dog was in super happy spirits when I picked him up, so I know he enjoyed his time at Michael’s! Highly recommend and I will use Michael again next time.”


“My dog loves Anne because she’s so caring and loving to him and made him feel so comfortable just like in his own home. I would highly recommend Anne and will definitely leave my dog with her again.”


“Annie was simply fantastic! She took such great care of my dog, jojo, during my absence, played with jojo and sent a lot of cute pictures. Her dog, hunter, is very cute and friendly. Jojo had a wonderful time with her and hunter.”


“Carlos provided expert care to our puppy when we were on a weekend trip. We felt a sense of relief when we met him because he is such a natural with dogs and our puppy warmed up to him immediately.”


“Mario was great with our dog Chilli, he sent a lot photos and updates which we really appreciated. She came home very happy, we would definitely use Mario again, thank you!”

“Andree and Cheng is hands down the best sitter we've ever had. They treat our 2-year old boy like their own. Their shared so much photos and videos where we totally see our boy having so much fun, either having a long walk, or a comfy cuddling session, or playing with other friendly dogs that Andree and Cheng know well in the neighborhood. They also offered fresh veggies, fruits and goat milk as snacks throughout the day. Our boy had had some irritation in the paws before his boarding, and Andree and Cheng took so much care of him by making sure his paws are clean and dry after being outside every time. Don't just listen to us. Our boy says it all. When we went pick him up, he didn't even want to leave!”


“Zicheng was extremely accommodating and responsive. He has a great backyard and a fun dog. He texts pictures during a stay and its always reassuring. I would highly recommend Zicheng for anyone in the Peninsula.”


“Jenisa and family were great! They took in Youker and treated him like part of the family. Youker is an older dog with some health issues, and they took great care of him. Highly recommend!”

“Simran was very kind and accommodating and treated our husky with love, just like another family member. Our Akira was able to have another playmate and doggy friend, Sushi, who went on walks with her and kept her company the whole time. In fact, our husky was so happy and relaxed when we picked her, that she didn’t jump up or show any signs of missing me. Doggy proof that she was having lots of fun and attention. A+++”


“Katie and Jason are great dogsitters (and super friendly humans in general)! They took great care of our pup Kiwi, who can be anxious and slow to warm up to people, and they understood that Kiwi needs to go at her own pace. Upon handoff, they immediately took her for a quick walk around the block which helped ease the transition, and by that evening, Kiwi was comfortable and asking for pets. Katie and Jason are quick to respond and kept us updated with both many adorable photos and brief recaps of walks or fun things that happened in the home. They accommodated our late pickup time with no fuss and had everything prepared: the bowls were washed and dried, and the blanket was folded. Highly recommend these two! Kiwi would love to stay with them again. Thanks Katie and Jason!”


“Joy was so sweet with our 3 yo dog! She sent us updates and pictures during his stay to assure us he was comfortable. She was attentive to our requests and super flexible to work with! We’ll definitely be booking Joy again.”


“Ivan was so good to Toko and Arya while I was gone! They're both small dogs who are reserved around new people and new dogs. Toko came to him with a broken foot and a bunch of built up anxiety since he couldn't exercise, while Arya has way too much energy. He was very careful to make sure Toko stayed comfortable and couldn't injure himself, but also took Arya on several long adventures. Ivan sent me many great photos and daily updates of the pups while I was on vacation, which greatly reduced my own anxiety over them staying over! I could tell they had a great time, and I won't hesitate to book Ivan again!”


“Minori was absolutely wonderful with our dog! I will 100% considered her for next time! I don't think our dog would have any reservations with that, haha. Minori was very professional and enthusiastic up-front. Through our dog's stay, it was immediately evident that our dog was on vacation just as much as we were! She stayed in constant communication, provided daily reports, along with plenty of pictures [of our dog having lots of fun]. We picked up our dog and left with a feeling of a new friend.”


“My kitties were well taken care of! I got a lot of photos and videos while we were away! I know they were loved and cared for while we were gone. Would definitely board my kitties here again! Thank you!”


“Benedict & Christina were really wonderful to have watch my little senior dog. When Benedict did the meet & greet, he was inquisitive about how to best care for Jean Luc, his routine & habits, etc. They sent great photos and updates, and were always quick to respond. Highly recommend & look forward to my next booking with them!”

About: Our names are Alex & Jessica and we are a married couple located in Foster City. What sets us apart is our deep, lifelong love for dogs and over 13 years of personal experience caring for our own two pups. We've been there through every stage of their lives—from energetic puppy years to the slower pace of their golden years—which has given us a well-rounded understanding of what dogs need to feel safe, happy, and loved. We’re comfortable with a wide range of care needs, including administering medications, managing specific diets, and creating calm routines for more sensitive or special-needs pets. We understand that every dog is unique, and we take the time to get to know their personalities, quirks, and comfort zones to make sure they feel right at home. Our home is designed with your dog’s well-being in mind. We have a fully fenced and securely enclosed yard that’s accessible directly from inside the house—so dogs can roam, explore, or relax outdoors at their own pace, all day long. Whether your dog loves sunbathing, lounging indoors, or frequent potty breaks, they’ll have the freedom and flexibility to do just that. Above all, we provide a loving, attentive environment where dogs are treated like family. We know how much your pet means to you, and you can rest easy knowing they’ll be cared for like our own family. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine and something we genuinely enjoy. We work on a hybrid schedule, which gives us the flexibility to be home when needed—whether that’s for midday walks, medication schedules, or just providing companionship throughout the day. We structure our days around our pets’ needs, from morning feedings and bathroom breaks to afternoon playtime and evening wind-downs. Because we're often home, we're able to maintain consistent routines, keep a close eye on any behavioral or health changes, and provide pets with the attention and interaction they deserve. We live near a big park with safe walking trails, and we love for dogs to join us on our daily walks! We try to keep our availability calendar fully up to date. You are welcome to reach out to double check with us if a particular date shows as unavailable. We care for dogs in our own home in Foster City. We had two fur-babies for 13 years whom we sadly lost recently, but our home is still set up perfectly for caring for dogs and ready to make them feel safe and loved. We understand that our dogs are more than animals- they are our family (and let's be real, our children)!. We always provide your pets with the same attention and love that we gave our own two dogs. In our home, pets have access to a secure, fully fenced grass yard that’s enclosed and directly accessible from inside via a doggy door, giving them the freedom to move between indoor and outdoor spaces safely. Whether a dog loves to sunbathe, explore outside, or relax inside, our home is a pet-friendly environment where they will thrive! We had a husky, so we are well-versed in dogs who are escape artists and understand the importance of a secure yard for your peace of mind (and ours). Our home does have stairs, but we can discuss accommodations if stairs do not work for your pet. We’re also experienced in providing special care, including administering medication, supporting dogs with mobility limitations, and adapting to individual energy levels and sensitivities. We ask detailed questions and pay special attention to your dog's routine, feeding schedule, and unique personality traits, so that we can provide consistency and minimize disruption in the pet's life. We allow dogs on the furniture and to sleep with us in our bed, so long as that is something you allow. You can feel at ease knowing we follow your special instructions to a T and, most importantly, make your dog feel safe, happy, and loved. You can expect your dog to be cuddled and played with as long as their heart desires. We are happy to send as many photo updates as you'd like, and our ultimate goal is for you to feel 100% comfortable while on your trip or vacation, knowing your babies are in the best hands. Simply put, we treat every pet like a member of our family.
