Dog loving newly wed couple :)

Pet care experience

We have 12+ years of taking care of dogs. We have a spacious fenced backyard that dogs can run laps or play fetch without being on leash. We keep the door between the backyard and living room opened during the day so that the dogs can go in and out whenever they want to! I and my wife just love spending time with dogs and we’d love to take great care of more fur buddies at our home that is just too big for just us. I and my wife are both working from home full time. We both work at tech company in the bay area. We’re mostly at home all the time and if we go anywhere, such as grocery shopping or a quick errand, at least one of us is at home. We can also go walk with dogs to nearby walking trail or just in the cul-de-sac in front of our home! Our home is a two story single family home totaling around 3500 sqft. We have ADT security cameras installed outside of our home parameter for added safety. We have an extra dog bed that fits up to midsize dogs(upto 60lbs) but our parents’ small maltese loved it too! We have several dog treats and water bowls already prepared. Dogs are allowed everywhere in our home just as if they’re our own family! * Update! We adopted an adorable Goldendoodle in January 2022, named Pretzel, when he was 8 weeks old! He’s full grown now and he weighs 42 pounds. He’s super friendly, kind, energetic, and social. He got along fantastic with all dogs we had with Rover(well over 40 different kinds by now). If your dog likes being around another dog, I’m sure he/she will like hanging out with Pretzel!

Another wonderful boarding experience for our pups! Thank you for taking such good care of Ginger and Dixie and always letting Dixie sit on your lap. Ginger loves playing with Pretzel and the videos you send are precious to us!

Chris and Minjoo are incredible hosts! And their dog, Pretzel, was a playful and great companion to our dog. I can’t recommend them enough. They took care of our dog as if it was their own.

Chris and Minjoo were so loving and attentive with our pup, and we could tell from their many photos and videos that she was loving her stay and having fun! They even went above and beyond in changing their plans so they could watch her for additional days when our trip needed to be extended. We are so grateful for their care and hope to book with them again in the future!

Chris & Minjoo were so good with my puppy Zissou, and Z loved playing with Pretzel! All the pics & video were a great way to stay connected while I was away, and to feel like I was right there running around with them. 🐾 🥨 🐶

Our dog Pretzel is basically our little shadow and he’s on our lap or just lying next to us, or we’re playing fetch with tennis ball or tugging ropes. When your pet is staying with us, he/she will have the same care! (unless he/she wants to have some separate space which we are also happy to accommodate!)

Information Chris & Minjoo Y. would like to know about your pet

Would be necessary to know if any special care is needed for the dog, whether medically or activity wise. Would be nice to know what is preferred activity that dog likes doing while chilling at home with us or while outside with us for walk or activities. Any special dietary concern outside of normally known food would be great as well. We can accommodate them all!

A typical day

We have a spacious fenced backyard for dogs to run around and to do fetch without a need for being on leash. There are nicely managed parks in Palo Alto that we know are good place for dog activities such as chasing a ball and run around and if needed, mingle with other dogs. Better yet, we can go on a walk to a nearby walking trail too!
