Caring for Your Dogs Like Family!
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.

Ratings and reviews
Alex and Jessica took amazing care of my 2 dogs and shared daily updates and photos and i can tell they were having the best time ever. It was our first time using rover and we know we chose the best options. My dogs warmed up to them very fast even and i will definitely rebook again the future.
This is the second time we have left Dorita with Jessica and Alex and they are both beyond amazing. We received daily updates which gave us so much piece of mind. They truly cared for Dori as if she were part of their own family. Incredibly warm, caring and welcoming. Dorita adores them! They have become her second human family. I can not recommend Jessica and Alex enough your pup will be so well taken care of and so loved.
Thank you Alex and Jessica for taking great care of Kouna. He loves you guys! See you in March.
This is our second time having Alex and Jessica taking care of Totle and we’re super happy about it. They are always very responsive, thorough and reliable, making sure they fulfill every need of Totle. More importantly, they do love, care and spend time with the dogs. We see Totle clearly loves being around them, and is satisfied, happy and calm with them. We’re so glad to find such a wonderful place for Totle while we’re away!
Thank you, Alex and Jessica, for being such wonderful hosts for my “not easy” corgi, Wilson. It was the best experience my dog has ever had! He’s such a mama’s boy and gets very stressed when staying with new people—which stresses me out too. Corgis, in general, aren’t the friendliest breed and usually need time to warm up to someone. But not this time! I’ve never seen him so happy and energetic around new people. He even licked Alex’s face and didn’t want to leave the house, it was a full-on vacation of joy for Wilson. He had so many new toys, tons of attention and love, and he was even allowed to sleep in the bed (his favorite guilty pleasure 😅). Thank you so much—you’re the best! Wilson is looking forward for the next staycation with you!
Thank you, Jessica and Alex for once again taking great care of Kouna. I very much appreciate that you get everything packed up and cleaned for his departure. We enjoyed our trip thanks to both of you.

Schedule
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.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
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.

A typical day
We love when you provide your pup's favorite toys so we can play! We go on daily walks (if approved by owner) around the local park and the Foster City levy. If you have a pet that loves to socialize, we can take them to the local dog park. Ultimately, we do what the owner is comfortable with, including staying at home if that's preferred!
