Highlights
Pet care experience
Born in Year of the Dog
I have over 30 years experience owning, raising, sitting, photographing dogs. Nine years on Rover. Check out my other client dogs at my instagram: brucedogz. I have shown Bernese Mountain Dogs to champion level. I know that the worst part of a vacation or a job is thinking about how your dog is doing or planning and finding the right situation so you can travel or work without worry. I also have a double sized yard (50 feet wide) which is rare in San Francisco. There are also plenty of dog parks and Glen Canyon for hiking a block away. I usually have 3 or 4 other dogs here and strive to keep a balance of dogs that get along and love playing together. If your dog does not get along with others this won't work for you.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Bruce was very accommodating and took good care of Duke, our 17yo Dachshund. As an older dog, Duke has a few issues and Bruce heard our concerns and handled him well.
This is frankly the only boarding our dog has ever accepted and enjoyed. She is a great dog, but pretty "stuck" to us. She goes to Bruce's like it's a little vacation for her at "Uncle Bruce's" and then she's happy to come home with us.
Bruce is a great communicator and took great care of my kid. I’d be happy to bring cooper over again
Bruce is super responsive and a great caregiver for the pups! He sent pictures and videos all day which made me feel confident and comfortable leaving our dog. We would definitely use his service again!
Bruce is awesome! My small dog loves him.
Bruce is is excellent. Ziggy and Korra had fun hanging out with the other dogs in his yard. Bruce was proactive in making them feel comfortable and communicated well.

Schedule
I am retired and home all day so I don't leave the dogs unattended. My partner is also here a good portion of the time in case I need to go out.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am home all day working on the house and garden. The dogs are active with me with plenty of access to the yard. Otherwise they live and sleep in the house with me like another family member.
A typical day
Lots of fetch and running around the yard with other dogs. Some tricks practice if you like, just be sure to give me a list of them.
