About us: Gil and I have both lived with and cared for dogs of various breeds, temperaments, and nursed them through all stages of life. We both work in healthcare, with at least one of us working from home 5 days a week. Outside of work, we enjoy taking the dog(s) out for a leisurely walk/jog. I was on our city’s Youth Competitive Sports Program’s Board of Directors and my husband created and built Mountain House’s 1st competitive youth Track & Field program- so we understand the importance of running a reputable and professional business. Now that our human kids have aged out, we love spending time fostering for the local shelters too. Our Pet Care Model: We believe great care starts with great communication. That’s why we offer an opportunity for an introductory phone call or constant messaging to discuss your pup’s personality, schedule, health needs, and routines. Because every dog adjusts differently, we carefully introduce dogs one-on-one to ensure compatibility and comfort for everyone. During busy seasons (summer and holidays), we prioritize crate-trained dogs — this helps us maintain calm, safe group feedings and downtime. We provide multiple sizes of disinfected crates and beds, but if your dog doesn’t crate at night, we can accommodate up to one non-crated dog per day with a customized setup. Our home features gated sections to safely separate dogs by size, age, energy level, and temperament. Each dog will be assessed in order to set them up to feel the most comfortable. Other amenities: Your pup will enjoy supervised indoor–outdoor time through our doggy door, plus access to a fully fenced backyard equipped with: • A large gazebo for shade or rain cover • Two decks for down time and sunbathing • Artificial grass and a sand dog run for playtime We pride ourselves on keeping the environment clean, safe, and fun — your pup’s stay will feel like a mini vacation in a dog-friendly backyard oasis!
