Fluent in Dog! (+ Fenced Backyard)

Pet care experience

***Hi San Francisco Friends! We have some good/bad news to share. The bad news is we have decided to move out of the city and move back home to LA😭 The good news is we plan to be back in about a year so we will definitely let you know when we are back in San Francisco. Thank you all for trusting us with your pups and allowing them to be part of our family, they each have helped us build such fond memories and brought SO much joy to us.** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey there! Thanks for taking the time to check out our profile. We're Mai (pronounced "my") and Karel (pronounced "carl"), a pair of dog-loving people with a fenced backyard to give your pup DOUBLE the love/attention and a big house for them to play in. A little bit about us: Mai (main account holder): I've taken care of dogs all my life (my Shiba-Mota & corgi-Belle). Mota has taught me all the skills needed to take of a dog-from understanding when she needed to go for a walk by just looking at her face to giving her medicine when she reached her older days. Belle was more social and goofy and taught me the importance of fun spontaneous adventures. I'll always take care of your dogs as my own and love them the same as my Mota & Belle. I have a flexible work from home schedule, so the days I'm not in the office I am at home full time. This means your pup will get 24/7 attention by me and my roommates! Karel: I've spent a big chunk of my life helping take care of my family or friends dogs. Cookie was my aunts dog that I took care of for 6 years and he's taught me so much about being patient and loving especially being a very grumpy pup! My love for dogs has led me to foster a dog, named Petey, for a week where I learned how to help him come out of his shell and work on his commands. I LOVE playing fetch and running around the yard with any pup that's under our care! Note: We will strictly follow COVID safety guidelines and wear mask upon meeting. Discounted rates for essential workers!

Mai & Karel are the best! They took such great care of our Bonsai. They kept us updated every day with pictures and details of how she was doing. I really felt like they cared and gave our pup their full attention and love. I highly recommend them!

Mai and Karel are great! They kept us updated with Rico and even sent some high quality pictures during his stay! They treated Rico like he was their own and made us feel comfortable leaving him with them. They’re a great team and we look forward to having them watch our beast of a dog in the future.

Information Mai & Karel S. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. It would be great to know of any allergies, triggers, if they are potty trained, have separation anxiety and other specific needs or routine the dog may have.

A typical day

There are 4-5 parks or large areas of grass in a 1-2 mile radius from us so park adventures are a must when your dogs are hanging out with us. In addition, we have a fenced back yard where your pup is free to hangout whenever! If they're shy or a bit older our couch & bed are always open for them to relax and hangout too. On the weekends, we'd love to take your pup on a drive to Golden Gate Park or Chrissy Fields to play. If you're dog is high energy and loves to run, we'll make sure to take them on our favorite running routes in SF!
