In Cow Hollow / Marina w/ big yard

Pet care experience

[IF YOU BOOK WITH US FOR THE FIRST TIME, PLEASE ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS BELOW AND UPDATE YOUR PUP'S INFORMATION.] We only accept a pup who is over 2 years old, weighs around 30 lbs or more, can walk a long distance, and could be walked off-leash with good recall. We have already received many requests, especially during the holiday seasons, and we apologize that we may not be able to accept a new dog as we would like to give priority to existing clients. My wife and I live in a 2-bedroom + den condo with a big backyard in Cow Hollow / Marina with a grade schooler and a 11yrs female black Labrador Sora. We both have many years of experience raising dogs (I've been with dogs since I was 10) and can’t think of living without a dog! My wife works from home every day and I do often too, so we don't take a playful pup (Sora sleeps under the desk or the table most of the time. She prefers a very quiet environment and so do we). Our unit has two floors. The lower level is facing the backyard and has direct access to the backyard. We usually go to Presidio Trails, Crissy Field, Marina Green, Alta Plaza Park, Fort Mason, Bernal Heights, or Glen Canyon Park. We also go to Pine Lake Park (Stern Grove) and let pups play in the off-leash area, so we only accept dogs who are able to be walked off-leash. Since we are living with a kid, we appreciate your pup can get along with kids as well. We don’t accept a dog who requires a pee pad and barks or whines when we are out of sight. When you send us a booking request, please update your pup's information (vaccination, age, etc) and send us a message with the answers to the questions below (Due to our HOA agreement, we can’t accept the breed / any mixed-breed of Doberman, Mastiff, Pit Bull, Press Canario, and Rottweiler). Our drop-off/pickup times are from 7AM to 7PM. When our client is dropping off or picking up her/his pup, other pups might get excited and bark, and we don't want to disturb the neighborhood with that, so we are generally not able to respond early in the morning or late at night. We're sure your pup will love our fenced large backyard where Sora and other dogs often enjoy sunbathing together. My wife and I work in the den right next to it and we love to see them relaxing there!

So grateful for another fabulous stay with Kazu! We thank our lucky stars to have found such an attentive, loving family to care for our pup when we are away. Our pup is already looking forward to the next time!

Our dog had such a great time staying with Kazu & family. They went on tons of walks to all the best dog spots in the city. We also got a bunch of updates/ photos during her stay. We appreciate their flexibility & friendliness of this family!

Mochi had a great time staying with Kazu & Yoko over the holiday break. They were very responsive and provided daily pictures and updates. Mochi got a lot exercise on the long walks with other dogs and was in better shape when we picked her up than when we dropped her off.

Kazu was very communicative through the whole stay and understanding when our flight was delayed.

Information Kazukiyo K. would like to know about your pet

1) Can your pup be walked off-leash at dog-friendly places (Crissy Field, Alta Plaza Park, etc) and come back when called? We keep all of the dogs on leash while walking on the streets and near parking lots, but we only take dogs who can be walked off-leash at dog-friendly places. 2) Does your pup bark or whine if we are out of sight for a moment (when we go to the garage, bathroom, storage, etc)? 3) Does your pup have separation anxiety and bark or whine if she/he is left with other dogs even for a short period of time? Sometimes we may need to run errands. 4) Is your pup sensitive to small noises (e.g., footsteps from upstairs or the sound of a garage door closing) and does she/he bark at them? 5) Is your pup very playful even after a walk? We work from home so we don't take dogs that are very playful/energetic even after a walk (my dog and all of our guest dogs like to sleep under the desk/table or in the backyard most of the time after a morning walk). 6) Does your pup still break things like furniture, shoes, socks, etc? 7) Is your pup potty trained? We don’t take a dog who needs a pee pad. 8) May your pup feel stressed when staying with multiple dogs? We try to limit the number of dogs max 4 including Sora, but sometimes we may have more especially during a long weekend or holiday season. 9) Can your pup walk long distance because we tend to go on long hikes? We would like to provide all guest dogs with a comfortable environment, so we appreciate you answering those questions.

A typical day

The pups will start their day taking a long walk in the morning along trails of Presidio, Crissy Field, Alta Plaza Park, Lafayette Park, Fort Mason. They can go out to the backyard through a doggie door all day.
