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.

Schedule

We both work from home so there is always someone around to keep your furbies company all day long and let them out every few hours for bathroom breaks. It also means we’re very flexible with pickup and drop off times around your plans.

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a detached home with a fully fenced yard. Your fur baby will have full reign of the yard to zoom around and play in. On nice days we leave the backdoor open so your pup can nap and sunbathe on the porch as they please.

A typical day

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.

Let us know if your dog has any special needs or accommodations. We are always down for meet and greets with your furbies to make sure we are a good match. Because there are two of us, we are well equipped to handle emergencies and last minute requests. In fact, we have NEVER cancelled a confirmed booking. My partner and I both monitor requests on this account so we are always quick to respond to messages. We look forward to caring for your pup!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
