Aside from being able to play outside in the fenced back yard all day, we live next to balboa park which has a dog park and wide open fields that’s great for meeting new friends and zooming around.

Pet care experience

My partner and I are excited to watch your fur baby! We have no kids or dogs of our own so your pup will our undivided attention and care. Both of us grew up with dogs and realized how much we missed them after watching all of our friends dogs. We have a large furby-proofed home with gates and doors. We have everything your dog may need including dog bowls, leashes, playpens and even a crate. All you have to bring is your pups food, toys, and/or favorite blanket if they have one. The BART Station and 280 freeway exit are just a few blocks away so you can easily drop off and pick up your dog, especially if it’s on route to/from SFO. We are always happy to do a meet and greet in our home to make sure that both you and your furby are comfortable with us.

I had to find someone last minute to care for my anxious dog over the holidays, and after a great meet and greet I felt completely confident booking with them. They were so kind, patient, and attentive, and I felt genuinely reassured the entire time that my dog was safe, happy, and well cared for while I was away. It made such a difference being able to relax on my trip knowing he was in good hands. I’m so grateful I found them and will absolutely be booking with them again.

Darrick & Jake did a great job boarding our dog, Oliver. We could immediately sense that they were both very caring and thoughtful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any friends or family who need someone to provide pet care. They shared regular updates and photos which allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation, knowing our dog was well taken care of.

5 stars all around. From a home visit prior to our dog staying at their house to great communication and our dog being so well taken care of, you would be remiss NOT to book with Darrick and his partner. I feel very lucky to have found them.
