Pet care experience

❤️💙💖BEST Pet service in SF💖💙❤️

My family has run a Dog Rescue 🏥 for 25years in Boston with 600 dogs adopted. We specialize in Big Breeds, Pitties, Rotties, Mastiffs and Danes. But we’ve also had 100’s of terriers, chihuahuas, poms, poodles and more. Even worked with exotics, from 🐿️ to 🦜 I moved to SF 10 years ago and have been Volunteering with Beyond Rescue in SF. We are up to 1500+ dog adoptions since inception. Personally I’ve fostered about 160 Bay Area dogs for the rescue. I have a revolving roster of 80 clients that I offer overnights, daytime care, extended holiday stays, walks, rehab, medication/treatments and more. I’ve bottle fed dozens of puppies and even successfully administered CPR once. From my three legged pups and senior care to high maintenance, I’ve seen and done it all. I have carried countless 80lb+ dogs down SF stairs, especially after surgeries or injuries. (The cats I have in my profile are at a different property in LA, not in SF.) I also offer light grooming services 🛁 (baths, nails, and teeth) and basic training/commands. Dogs are my life and I’d love to be apart of yours as well.

Gage was great. He took care of our dog Panda for a week while we were out of town. Super easy to communicate with he was very responsive and sent tons of pictures while we were gone. We could tell panda enjoyed himself and made a few doggy friends as well. Highly recommend

Doggy Day Care • Jul 01, 2026

We left our dog Hazel with Gage while we were passing through town on a road trip. I was a bit nervous to leave her with someone in a new city. However my mind was immediately put at ease when we dropped hazel off and could see how good Gage was with her. He had several other dogs in his care that day and took them all on an adventure to treasure island. he sent lots of pictures and Hazel returned happy and exhausted. I would definitely recommend Gage to anyone looking for a great human with a great pack to play with their dog!

As always Patch had a great time with Gage and his pack! I never worry when he's with Gage. I know he's in good hands. The pics are amazing and he takes the pack on great adventures like the dog run on Treasure Island. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve house/petsitted in every part of the bay. Just give me a list of things I can do for you (routine, medicine, playtime, walks) and we’ll be having fun in no time. I have 4 awesome dogs of my own that have been around every breed you can think of. They love to play, with toys and bones and in groups. Your dog will never be lonely again. Every returning dog gets so excited when they get to my front door to be dropped off. They know they are ready for a good time. I have a fully fenced large grass turf back yard that’s cleaned up daily.

Pets

A typical day

We wake up and go straight outside to potty, we play with the ball and I play tag with my dogs. Then all the pups get fed and digest for about an 30mins (crated/uncrated). After that it’s playtime in my living room. And then we’ll go to treasure island to the dog park and private beach. The. We come back to SF to play go on walks and to Golden Gate Park. We have Moose antlers, ropes, toys and puzzles for dogs. Boarding dogs get a couple walks a day.
