Pet care experience
Paw-fect home away from home!
🏡 Home with grassy backyard walking distance to Mt. Davidson 👩🏻💻 Fully remote and hybrid schedules means your dog would rarely be alone! 🐶 Up to 2 dogs at a time (please don’t hesitate to reach out if you prefer your dog to be boarded alone - we are more than willing to accommodate this) Hi PAWSOME dog parents!! I grew up with my family’s 2 cats and 1 dog, and my husband and I have done cat sitting and dog boarding for several family friends. We are now hoping to expand that to more of you!

Ratings and reviews
Christine and Mark showered my little ones with extreme love and care. I will definitely be requesting their help in the future. Thank you so much.
Both Christine and Mark welcomed Roscoe and were calm while he did his barks-a-lot greeting. They had a yard and snuggled with him for TV time. They found him sweet and he found them sweet too! Thank you both.
Christine and Mark are clearly dog people. Not only did they take great care of Mandu but they made sure he got plenty of love and especially belly rubs! So much easier to go on vacation without the fluffball knowing he is in loving hands
Amazing !!! Peaches loves Christine and Mark! And we love getting updates. She is always in good hands with them.
Christine and Mark did a good job taking care of Izzy! I could tell from the photos and video they sent me while I was away that he was very happy in their care. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Izzy stay again in the future. Thanks again!
When you leave your pup with someone you hope they enjoy and love your dog as much as you do. With Christine and Mark we knew that was the case. Our dog Coco was very well taken care of. Even went on adventures.

Schedule
I (Christine) currently work full time as a data scientist and my husband (Mark) is a software engineer and is fully remote. We have 2 young children who love interacting with dogs! We love spending our free time playing, taking pictures of, and hanging out with the pets we pet sit! I work on a hybrid schedule, going into the office 3 days a week and working from home the other 2 days. Mark works from home every day! If one of us isn’t home, the other is usually at home, so your dog would rarely be alone!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We live in a single family home with a large grassy backyard in a quiet neighborhood. The dogs we have boarded love to run around, lay in the sun, and take regular potty breaks in our backyard! We love to walk and run around our neighborhood, frequently visiting Mt. Davidson, Twin Peaks, and Lake Merced! We love it even more when we get to bring dogs with us! NOTE 1: your dog must be crate trained. They may sleep in their crate at night in case of emergencies or at the owner’s request, but we normally allow dogs to sleep with us on the bed! NOTE 2: my parents come over with their 16 year old maltipoo (10 lbs) approximately 3 times a month, so your dog must be okay with other dogs and may meet my parents dog. NOTE 3: We currently board up to 2 dogs at the same time (if my parents’ dog is here, there may be 3 dogs max). If you prefer to have us board only your dog during the time you need, please don’t hesitate to reach out and we may be able to accommodate your dog. NOTE 4: we prefer small dogs, but can make exceptions for medium dogs (up to 30 lbs) on a case by case basis, so please don’t hesitate to reach out! NOTE 5: We don’t accept pee pad trained dogs. Your dog must be house trained. We have a fenced backyard and can let your dog out frequently for potty breaks. NOTE 6: Your dog must be good with young children and have had previous experience with or currently live with young children.
A typical day
Living so close to Mt. Davidson, we love to take dogs up there for a fun walk and to let them soak in the views of the city! We also often go on runs in our neighborhood and bring along the dogs we board if they have the energy and enjoy it! In our house, we love to cuddle and play with dogs both in our living room and outside in our grassy yard!
