Dog Lover Extraordinaire!

Hello! I am a lifetime dog owner with experience with puppies, active adult dogs and senior dogs as I have been through all of these stages with my own dogs over the years. I have also cared for numerous other dogs (and cats) over the years and I provide kind and loving care with lots of petting and attention geared to what your dog needs. I have also volunteered as a dog walker for over 8 years at PAWS (Pets Are Wonderful Support) and I still do volunteer dog walking at the SF SPCA. I live in a single family home with a large fenced-in backyard (good for quick potty breaks and/or a ball toss!) and I am located walking distance to the dog park at Stern Grove or a quick drive to Fort Funston. I am recently retired so I have lots of time for loving doggie care and I have a 7 year Golden Retriever named Nala who gets along well with other dogs. We both enjoy going for at least two walks a day. I live near 19th Avenue so easy driving access if you are headed to SFO!

Nancy was so great with our Freddy and he had the best pal in Nala. We will definitely use her again.

Eevee had a lovely stay with Nancy and her sweet pup Nala! We received daily updates about her day while we were away and she got plenty of exercise & love:) We were able to enjoy our trip worry free and came back to a happy pup. Thank you for taking good care of our sweet girl! ❤️

Nancy paired great with Georgie. She made him feel comfortable and I had no doubt he was safe with her and the other dog(s) in her home. I will absolutely keep Nancy in mind for future boarding.

Nancy was wonderful with our golden retriever, Shea! She was so sweet and attentive, taking her on plenty of walks and sending us regular photo updates of them playing. Her dog Nala was the perfect buddy for Shea, and it was clear they had a great time together. We felt completely at ease leaving Shea in Nancy’s care and were able to enjoy our trip worry-free. Highly recommend!

My 9 yr old Newfie is very happy to go to Nancy's house--and that says it all. She minds his food, meds, and walking, but above that, she has a perfect dog home (easy back yard), and a very sweet older pooch of her own to play with. it's clear that it's a loving household. Nancy has also been very accommodating about pickup and drop-off. Highly recommend!

I love to keep your dog happy and having fun so I gear their care to include some of their favorite things to do to make their stay is as fun as possible. Otherwise, we will go on at least 2 walks per day with additional play time in the backyard, as needed.
