Doggy Day Care in Hillsborough

“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!!”

“Anna was great with my dog for daycare when my dog had a cough and couldn't attend a large group daycare. My dog enjoyed playtime in the fully fenced yard and Anna sent picture and video updates throughout the day.”

About: At my home, your dog will be taken care of with lots of cuddles and walks. We do have a young basset, Ozzie, who is very active and a senior basset, Minnie, who likes to keep to herself. It will be a good fit if you have an active young dog. At our home, when your dog meets Ozzie and Minnie, there will be a lot of loud barking and then after a while everyone will settle down. We can do a meet and greet to see if everyone gets along. I am home full time and will be able to oversee the needs of your dog. Except for a few hours in a day when I might need to go grocery shopping, doctors' appointments, or volunteering somewhere. During this time your dog can be kept in a crate, play pen, single room, or have a free range of the house. I can take care of your dog as my only assignment however there will be an extra charge for it. The dogs usually get along quite well and have a good time with their walks and outings. A little disclaimer about me. I am a stay at home mom I board dogs because it seems like fun and is a source of entertainment for both me and my husband. Happy to answer any questions about myself, my family, and my dogs. Depending upon the size and ability of your dog I do one 1 hour walk/hike a day or 2 walks a day. Your dog will usually be walked along: Airport Blvd, Bay Point, Coyote Point Park, Seal Point Park, Marina, San Mateo Central Park, Junipero Serra County Park, golden gate park, Cal campus or around my neighborhood. Dogs are always walked on a leash. It would be helpful if they have a harness. Our home is quite dog proof with crates, playpens, and fences. Plenty of soft pillows, couches, to sit and stretch. Quiet corners for taking a break and fresh water for drinking. It would be helpful if your dog is crate trained.

About: I have taken care of my neighbors pets when they are away on vacation and have taken care of my own dog for four years now. I am currently working part time at a golf course so I am free during the week and sometimes on the weekends depending on my schedule. I have a fenced off backyard at my home and inside the house there is plenty of space of the dogs to roam around and settle down.
