Caring for pets like they’re my own

Hi! I’m Lawrence, a lifelong dog lover. 🐶 I grew up with dogs, raising them from playful puppies to sweet seniors — one even lived to 20 years old! Because of health reasons, my own pups are now cared for by family in China, so I decided to open my home (and my heart) to yours. 💖 I know how hard it is to leave your dog with someone new. That’s why my promise is simple: I’ll care for your pup as if they were my own, and keep you updated with plenty of photos and videos so you can relax knowing they’re happy and safe.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 26, 2026

Lawrence and his gf are sooo amazing with my Milo. I recently moved to San Mateo and was looking for a new rover. Even though we had great rovers in our previous city, Milo was still always a little hesitant when dropped off. I was so surprised today when he jumped out of the car off leash and excitedly ran to her! I can tell he is taken care of well and he feels loved/safe there. Also sooo amazing that we get constant videos and updates throughout the day!

Lawrence took good care of our fur babies. He is very loving and cognizant of the dogs needs. Would highly recommend.

I was lucky to be able to book care with Lawrence shortly before my trip. He took great care of my pup, sending frequent photos and videos to update me on her walks and general cuteness. :)

Lawrence and his wife provided kind and thoughtful support to our older dog over a long weekend. Communication was excellent before and during the care period. They paid attention to the instructions I shared and seemed genuinely invested in a good experience for our dog. Thank you!

We couldn’t be more grateful to Lawrence for looking after our Bella! Despite her separation anxiety causing some initial challenges, Lawrence handled everything with patience and kindness, keeping us informed every step of the way until she fully settled in. The regular photo and video updates gave us such peace of mind — it was clear Bella was in wonderful, caring hands.

Schedule

What makes me different 🐾 Dedicated care – Your pup gets full attention, love, and cuddles throughout the day. 🐾 Always home – I work remotely, so your pup will have plenty of company and care. 🐾 Private enclosed yard – My apartment has a fully fenced doggy yard for safe potty breaks and zoomies. 🐾 Tailored walks & adventures – I walk 4–6 times daily, from relaxing strolls to fun adventures on nearby trails or beaches (1–3 hours when possible). 🐾 Special care experience – I’ve looked after dogs with Cushing’s, heart conditions, and daily medication needs. Extra TLC is never a problem. 🐾 Healthy home environment – Clean, cozy, and safe. Dogs get filtered mineral-enriched water, comfy nap spots, and lots of playtime and cuddles. 🐾 Super King Size Dog Bed – For pups who love snuggling on a soft bed, there’s a super king size bed just for them—plenty of room to stretch, snooze, and feel at home. 🛏️💖 A day with me looks like… ☀️ Morning potty time in the yard, followed by breakfast and a short walk. 💻 Midday naps while I work from home, with play breaks and cuddles. 🌳 Afternoon walk or adventure, depending on your pup’s energy. 🌙 Evening stroll before bedtime, then cozy snuggles to end the day.

Safety, trust & environment

Happy parents say… “He always sends me the sweetest updates. I never worry when my pup is with him.” 🥰 📍 Convenient Bay Area location – only 10 minutes from SFO, 25 minutes from SJC/OAK. Easy drop-off & pick-up! 💕 Every pup has their own personality, quirks, and needs — I love getting to know them all. Whether it’s boarding, walks, or special care, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and completely at home. Because happy pups = happy parents. 🐕✨ ⚠️ Friendly note Evenings from Monday to Thursday (around 5:30–9:30 PM), I’m usually away from home or in online meetings, so I’m not available for drop-offs or pick-ups during that time. I’m happy to arrange flexible times before or after this window — thank you for understanding! Keeping a calm and consistent routine helps me give every dog the best care possible. 💕

A typical day

A typical day with me is a balance of exercise, play, and relaxation. Dogs enjoy 4 walks a day, with adjustments based on their energy levels. When suitable, I also take them on scenic trails or to the beach for a change of environment and extra stimulation. At home, I recreate the activities they’re used to with their families—playing fetch, enjoying toys, or simply relaxing together. This customized approach ensures that every dog feels comfortable, safe, and truly at home during their stay.
