Our home has a very spacious and fully fenced in backyard, and we have a dog of our own who will be happy to keep yours company. We feed Stella breakfast and dinner on a schedule as opposed to letting her graze all day but we are happy to accommodate if your dog has different requirements. We live walking distance to a wonderful park in downtown San Mateo and do morning and evening walks.

Information Diana & Michael G. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know if your dog has any special needs or accommodations. We should know about ahead of time. We have a two-story house, but if they have trouble with stairs, we can make sure that the stairs are gated for their safety.

A typical day

We live very close to a wonderful park in downtown San Mateo. There is also a dog park within that park that we like to visit so she can play and socialize with other pups. We take long walks around the neighborhood and usually wind up at the park for a while and then walk home. We also love going to the beach and taking hikes with the dogs.

Pet care experience

Are you looking for a warm, nurturing and fun environment for your dog who will be looked after like a member of the family? You've found it! My husband, Mike, our small terrier, Stella, and I are very active and outdoorsy people who love being around dogs. We have lots of experience with very active breeds like German Shepherds and Border collies as well as couch potatoes! I worked at a dog day care for several years and have taken dog grooming courses where I learned a bit about doggie first aid. Stella is very friendly dog with a very relaxed demeanor who gets along with every dog she comes across. We live in a welcoming, pet safe house with a completely fenced in backyard. We both work from home often so between us, there's always someone home. We allow dogs on our furniture but please let us know if that's not something you want for your dog and we are happy to accommodate.

Diana and Michael are amazing hosts. They are very thorough with communication and generously allowed for earlier drop off. She made sure to note down feeding instructions for Lumo’s weight loss food and weighed specific amount of kibble for each meal. They keep sending regular pictures and videos of Lumo’s shenanigans. Even during a busy July 4th weekend, she regularly sent updates and pictures of Lumo enjoying. Lumo happily goes to Diana’s home every single time and comes back happy and tired. We highly highly recommend Diana & Michael for your pup’s daycare and boarding needs. They are our 1st choice for Lumo’s boarding and daycare.

Diana and Michael are fantastic. They were attentive and caring with our dog and very accommodating with her needs. I recommend them to anyone looking for a more personal boarding or daycare experience for their pet.

Lulu had an amazing stay with Diana and Michael. They took the time to meet her upfront, which was the first sign of how much care they put into each pup. They are super responsive and attentive - Lulu was clearly so happy to be in their amazing family home and enjoyed playing with Riley (their dog). They sent tons of photos of her playing and hanging out with everyone, which put me immediately at ease. She looked right at home! Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Lulu!

As always, Diana is wonderful. She sends cute pictures and videos throughout the day and Lumo always leaves her place tired and happy. I highly recommend Diana.
