Hi, nice to meet you :) We are WoeiJing (pronounced WAY-JING) and Mark, based in Novato, offering in-home dog boarding with 24/7 care in a nature-surrounded and loving environment. We specialise in senior dog care, hospice dogs, and low-energy dogs who thrive in a quiet, home-based setting (not kennels or high-volume dog environments). We share our home with our toddler and our resident senior golden retriever, and have lovingly cared for multiple senior and hospice dogs, two of whom crossed the rainbow bridge in February 2026. This experience deeply shapes the way we care for every dog: with patience, gentleness, and presence. ✨ WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT We live in a very quiet and safe neighbourhood in Novato. We are on the edge of a 500+ acre nature preserve. We’re the right fit for you and your dog if you are… ⭐Looking for a spacious home environment with exceptional standards of care ⭐Wanting a clean, sanitised and safe space for your dog - with daily 'housekeeping' (daily washing of bowls, daily change of blankets/bedding, daily vacuum, wiping muddy/sandy paws, etc!). For stays of more than 2 weeks, we have a professional team of housekeepers that come in to clean and sanitise our home! ⭐Intentional about making sure your dog is not surrounded by an overwhelming number of other dogs or kept in a kennel all day ⭐Aware that your dog enjoys being indoors with lots of natural sunlight and cuddles ⭐Dog boarding in a real family home (with a toddler + gentle senior dog) ✨ IMPORTANT TO NOTE Because we have: - A toddler in the home - A senior resident dog - A focus on calm, safe environments We are selective and prioritise: 👉 Gentle temperaments 👉 Non-aggressive dogs 👉 Dogs that integrate well into a home setting This ensures safety and a peaceful stay for every dog. 𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗘𝗦 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗣𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗘𝗦 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗘𝗗𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗣𝗨𝗣𝗦 𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗘 🐶 Please click 'CONTACT SITTER’ to check your dates as sometimes the Rover Calendar has a glitch and doesn't display when I am available. Best thing is to drop me a note :) 🐶 Puppy and High-energy: Due to our home having a toddler and senior dogs, we can’t have puppies or dogs with high energy out of an abundance of caution. 🐶 Please ensure your dog is up to date on vaccinations and flea/tick remedies as we live surrounded by lots of nature and want to ensure the health and well-being of all dogs under our care. If they need to have flea/tick applied during their stay, please let us know. 🐶We appreciate you planning ahead of time to schedule a Meet and Greet and, where possible, a trial stay, so that your dog has plenty of time to adjust to our home environment. We know this isn't always possible with last minute work travel, change of plans or when driving up from other areas of the country - we are able to conduct Virtual Meet and Greets on ZOOM if you are not from the area. 🐶We DO NOT accept aggressive dogs or any dogs that do not get along with other dogs as we have our own resident dog and we also provide care throughout the year to other dogs who may be smaller in size and senior in age. We want to ensure that our home is comfortable, caring and above all....SAFE for your dogs as well as for those who they'll be spending lots of time with! We do not provide care for any aggressive dogs, including leash reactive, because of the risk it presents to other dogs in our neighbourhood as well as to our own and other boarding guests. We are unable to care for dogs with extreme separation anxiety that presents destructive behaviour/barking or constant care and soothing. 🐶 Emergency Situations If you are traveling, please provide us with another name and contact should you be uncontactable. Please also ensure your veterinary information is up to date. In emergency situations, we will bring your pup to the closest veterinary hospital located to us and will loop your vet with the medical team. 🐶 Damage to Property If your pup presents destructive behaviour or has damaged property in some way, there will be an extra charge applied to stay depending on the price of replacement or fixing. 🐶 Communications We do our best to respond to your messages throughout the day and will provide photos throughout the duration of their stay as well. I am mindful of bedtimes and will not text past 10:00PM unless there’s an emergency.
