Doggy Day Care Highlands-Baywood Park

About: I have 6 years of Rover experience and 30+ years of caring for dogs and other pets. I love dogs and I hope I get to keep doing this forever! ❤️ I’ll send lots of updates and photos of your fur baby’s silly faces, snuggles, actions shots, and all the fun little moments that make their day. Have a peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy, well cared for, safe, loved, and spoiled to the fullest while you’re away. 😊👍 Available any day, anytime-happy to fit your schedule! Your 🐶 is never left alone or overlooked because I’m right there with them all day - playing, rolling around, relaxing, and having fun together. At night, they happily cuddle on the bed, couch, or wherever they choose to snooze (or in their crate if crate training is preferred by the owner). Your 🐕 will be in a loving home away from home in a very safe, nature-filled neighborhood where they can relax indoors and play to their heart’s content outside in two large fenced areas, each with its own real grass field. There’s plenty of space for zoomies, nature-powered brain workouts, sniffing adventures, sunbathing sessions, and shady chill spots for well-earned breaks in between all the fun, and most importantly, scenic bathroom spots! 😆

“Doug took a good care of my my dog "Mochi". He was very good at communicating and flexible with my last minute request. I'm sure to leave my dog with him again! Thank you, Doug.”

“Thank you Shirley for a great first daycare experience for both us and our pup. From keeping us informed at all times (with pics) to giving our puppy a wonderful environment within which to play and rest, everything was top notch. Shirley even went a step beyond and gave us good advice about our pup’s ear care. Thank you!”

“Kristine did a great job watching over our dog. Our senior dog can be difficult and has some specific care instructions which she took into account. She sent updates and photos throughout the day and was very responsive. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Having raised my own puppy and dogsat for friends with anxious pups, I'm well versed in how to provide for a pup's full time needs. I can also provide puppy training in house manners (for example: waiting patiently to be fed, waiting at doors, simple commands). My care and attention to my own puppy, Chef, is full time and I am super excited to share that with your pup. We can go on excursions or hang around the house or play fetch at the dogpark. Whatever your pup is up for. I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup for your pup(s) to play with! And if your pup doesn't want company for whatever reason, I have gates and crates to make sure they are safe and happy in their own space. Feel free to request photos/videos and check in anytime for updates.

About: I live with two dogs of my own as part of a full multi-pet household, so daily care isn't new to me — it's routine. I have specific experience with senior dogs, including the extra patience and attentiveness that comes with mobility issues, changes in appetite, and adjusted exercise needs. I'm comfortable administering medications — pills, liquids, or topicals — and keep careful notes on dosing and timing so nothing gets missed. My apartment includes an oversized outdoor patio for fresh air and relaxing evenings, and our community also has a dog run that's always accessible for exercise and playtime. Whether your dog is a high-energy pup or a slower-moving senior, I adjust my pace and attention to what they actually need. Pet care is my full-time focus, because I don't work outside the home, my schedule is wide open — which means I can offer walks and drop-in visits at the times that actually fit your pet's routine, not squeezed into a narrow morning-or-evening window like many sitters. Mornings are typically free for early walks or first visits of the day. I have consistent availability through the afternoon for midday drop-ins, potty breaks, or a second walk if your dog needs it. And I'm just as available in the evenings for a final walk or check-in before you're home. Whether your pet needs one visit a day or several spread throughout, I have the flexibility to actually be there when it counts. Safety and trust start with creating a calm, structured environment where pets can settle in and feel at home. My apartment is a full-time, attentive household — with two dogs and several cats of my own, pets who stay or visit here are never left alone for long stretches, and routines (feeding, medication, walks) are followed closely and consistently. I keep a close eye on interactions between visiting pets and my own animals to make sure everyone is comfortable, and I'm attentive to signs of stress so I can adjust the environment as needed — whether that means quiet separate space or supervised introductions. Outdoor time is always supervised, whether that's the patio, a walk, or the community dog run, and I take care to secure doors, gates, and any potential hazards throughout the home. Your pet's safety and comfort are treated with the same level of care as my own.

About: We are a family of four who loves dogs. Our lives center around our healthy 5 year old lab retriever Texas who spayed and updated with her shots. We live in the beautiful hills of Belmont and have a deck for dogs to sunbathe on and a fenced yard to play and get their wiggles out. I’m a dog walker so what better than walking two dogs versus one! 7am potty break, 7.30am Breakfast, 8-9am morning play, relax/sunbathe (dogs 😊), 10-11 am bathroom break 4pm - dinner, 5-7 pm walk , lights out -10.30pm Before boarding it’s imperative that we meet the dog and the dogs meet each other. Smaller dogs get very defensive affront large dogs and since we have a large dog I’m right now restricted to large dogs only. Our fenced yard is a perfect place for dogs to play and have fun with the gazillion toys we have. We also live 5min away from a dog park so if your dog is friendly and has a good recall that’s another place we can have fun. I take time to build and earn the dog’s trust - some treats go a long way. I check their paws after playing to ensure nothing is bothering and also keep a keen eye on any scratching or biting.

“Ming-Ching and Koko were fantastic with my shy dog. She sent many photos and videos of him throughout the day so I could have peace of mind that my dog was in good hands! He came home and slept well after a big day :)”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid and now I own little two dogs. My passion is taking care of furry friends. I’m currently staying at home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play and take care of your pets. I am available all day. I have two friendly dogs. My apartment is pet friendly and very sunny, so your pet will have a change to greet with cute friends here.

“Zhenting and her family are so friendly and caring. Today was the first day I sent my dogs to daycare and I was very nervous about it but they had a good time with Zhenting! She sends me pictures and messages frequently throughout the day. Very mindful and lovely family!”

Jolin C.

“Diana was so welcoming and accommodating to Teddy. They have a lovely house with a big back yard that he loved. She was also flexible with seeing whether Teddy would get along with other dogs she was boarding. The pictures she sent me that day made me feel like Teddy was in such good hands. He loved it there.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for 5 years now, and I'm a proud owner of a labradoodle. I love taking them to the dog park and take a walk. I'm a dog owner myself. My husband and I work remotely. Our schedule is flexible. I have a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I only take 1 dog at a time. I have a fenced yard and a friendly and playful labradoodle. My pet is neutered and fully vaccinated. I could crate your dog easily if needed. I have a daily routine from feeding, playing and bonding with my pet. I make sure he stays happy, healthy and well-cared for. He loves sniffing around. I make sure pets are comfortable and happy by following their feeding schedule and providing plenty of play time. I have a big fenced yard where they can explore and enjoy themselves.

“Amanda is an absolute pleasure to work worth. She provides thorough updates to give you peace of mind when you’re away from your pet. Definitely looking to keep Amanda as one of my long term care takers for my dog when I’m away.”

About: Welcome to Lauri and Friends Pet Care — where hospitality-inspired care meets canine adventure. Every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and communication style, and I love learning what helps them feel safe, confident, and balanced. My customer service management experience at an emergency veterinary hospital (formerly SF SPCA, now SF Animal Care & Control) gave me valuable experience supporting the wellbeing and safety of both feline and canine companions. My family and career have also been deeply rooted in the hospitality world, which I love incorporating into my pet care approach. From structured adventure walks and personalized updates to boutique-style boarding and in-home care, my goal is to create enriching experiences that bring peace of mind to both pets and their humans. My lifelong pet care journey began with caring for a wide variety of personalities and breeds within my own family — from the spirited energy of German Shepherds like Rocky and Ozzy, to the playful antics of Doberman mixes like Josh, and the gentle (sometimes spirited!) companionship of Bernese Mountain Dogs like Oliver. These experiences deepened my appreciation for the unique emotional and physical needs every animal brings, as well as the powerful bonds they share with humans. One of my greatest strengths is helping dogs and humans feel more connected, understood, and at ease together. Compassion, communication, safety, and authenticity are at the heart of everything I do. Your pets and home will be treated with the same level of attentiveness, respect, and care that I would want for my own family. Our initial meeting will be more than just a checklist of routines and rules. Let's uncover your pet's unique language of preferred commands and desired tricks—because learning is an adventure, and fostering good behavior is an ongoing journey. While I strive to accommodate your scheduling needs to the best of my ability, please keep in mind that creating a seamless experience for your pet may require some adjustments. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I'm dedicated to going the extra mile to ensure they receive the care they deserve. I appreciate your understanding that sometimes, good things take time. Communication is essential to our partnership. While I endeavor to respond as quickly as possible, please understand that there might be moments when my hands are full of paws, toys, and laughter. Thank you in advance for your patience—I assure you, your concerns and queries are valuable to me. My schedule revolves around your pet's needs, with regular walks and house-sitting routines thoughtfully planned. And for those rare moments, I'm here as your pet's emergency companion to the vet. This isn't just a side gig; it's my full-time calling—a career shaped by passion and expertise. Anticipate extraordinary experiences—playful moments during walks, explorations in local parks, and outdoor adventures (or a backpack outing for young puppies so no paws touch the ground). While I stay present with your pets, I also capture candid memories to share with you. Now, let's delve into the services I offer, designed to cater to your furry friends:

“Harvey had a wonderful time at Pitzy house. He lived the back yard and the long walks she took him on. Would definitely let Harvey stay with her again”

Charleston G.

“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!”

“Amazing!!”

About: I have a Samoyed x Standard Poodle at home, so I am very comfortable handling and caring for larger breeds! I have also cared for various dogs within my family so I are experienced with smaller dogs and different breeds. And since I work from home full time, you can expect frequent photo and video updates throughout the day so you always know your pup is happy and well looked after! I work from home full time, so your dog will never be left alone. Since I have our own dog, I already do two walks a day — so your pup will definitely be getting out and about! I have my own friendly dog at home who loves meeting new friends — he gets along great with dogs of all sizes and breeds, so your pup will always have a playmate! I also have enrichment toys and lick mats on hand to keep them stimulated and entertained.

“James and his wife were so lovely and great with Beauregard who's an older dog. They took my reservation at last minute I sure appreciate it I would highly recommend them”

Cheryl H.

“Love booking with Michael! So attentive to our dogs needs and gives us heads up if any other dogs are staying with him so we can plan accordingly. Highly recommend!”
