Highlights
Pet care experience
a family home, ready for your dog!
*** ANSWERS TO FAQs *** - We board dogs under 30 pounds. - We accept puppies 1 year and older. - We require a meet-and-greet for all new clients. This allows you and us an opportunity to see how your dog reacts to a new environment. We understand that leaving your special friend alone in a different environment can be extremely daunting, so here's a little about ourselves: We are a married couple and proud parents of 3 kiddos. In May 2024, our senior dog, Moses, joined the doggy angels at the golden age of 15 - he was part of our family for 12 years and brought so much joy to those around him! We live in a quiet residential neighborhood in Daly City and our home has a fenced backyard - ample room for safe outdoor play! We understand not every environment is a good fit for your special friend, so please don't feel obliged to place your pet in our care upon our first meeting. Thank you for stopping by; look forward to hearing from you!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Very happy with whole process of working with Gordon - from the Meet & Greet to pick up. So glad my cousin referred me to Allison and Gordon. Will definitely reach out to them for future dog sitting needs!

We always feel really comfortable bringing our dogs, Tofu and Lily, to stay with Gordon and Allison’s family. They take great care of them and send daily updates, which gives us peace of mind while we're away. Our new dog, Lily, settled in quickly at their house, and it was clear that both dogs felt safe, happy, and well cared for. We’re grateful to have sitters we can trust and will definitely book with them again.


Oliver was very comfortable going back for the second time it made me feel really good😀

Gordon and his family took really good care of my Oliver. It was his first time visiting the family and he was there for four hours and seemed very comfortable when I picked him up. I’m looking forward to the next visit.

Gordon, Allison & family took amazing care of our fur baby, Kylo. It was our first time leaving him with someone new, but they truly took such great care of Kylo. From our first communications, our initial meet & greet, booking & the duration of Kylo’s boarding, I felt at ease and they took every consideration to make Kylo and us feel comfortable and confident leaving him in their care. Thank you for giving Kylo so much attention & taking great care of him.

This was the second time we’ve booked Gordon and Allison. They and their kids once again took really great care of our Tofu. We appreciated the cute daily photo and update. We’ll be sure to book them again the next time we travel!

Schedule
Allison works full-time in a home office while Gordon homeschools our three kids. Needless to say, we will be actively present and available for your dog during their whole stay, both day and night. :)
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our backyard is fenced in (fence height about 6 feet). It is mostly concrete patio with an artificial grass patch. We do not walk dogs during their stay due to possible unexpected safety concerns. However, your pup will have bathroom breaks approximately every 2 hours in the backyard. In addition to our backyard, we have an enclosed outdoor lanai for lounging. Your pup will have access to the backyard, lanai, and the main floor of our home (including the living room, dining room, kitchen, and laundry room).
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog We are home throughout the day, so your dog will rarely be left unsupervised. On occasions when we need to leave the house, we have designated indoor areas where the dogs will feel safe, and we usually leave dogs separated from one another when we're not around. Your dog's sleeping arrangement We like to mimic your dog's at-home sleeping arrangement as much as possible, so please feel free to bring his/her own doggy bed or crate if that's what your dog is used to at home. Feeding We’ll follow your instructions for feeding; please bring the food and bowls that your pup is familiar with - this will help them acclimate to a new place. Play When they’re not sunbathing in the living room, the dogs are in the backyard for playtime and potty breaks. You are welcome to bring your dog’s favorite toy, and we’ll put it to good use!
