Pet care experience
Large dog owner, lost him recently
Hello folks, we have been a large dog family for over 12 years. Unfortunately I lost my puppy this year. It's too early for me to get a new pet but we miss him dearly. While I had him I was always looking for a family that could board him while I was out traveling or visiting family. It's time for me to return the favor to other dog families who need that support and help. I live near Sunnyvale downtown in a single family home with a large lot and know the neighborhood well. We offer a calm, home environment — not a kennel — where dogs get personalized care and lots of love. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your pup is doing. As dog owner myself, I understand what pet parents look for — reliability, communication, and genuine love for animals. Your dog will get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles during their stay with me. I will be happy to board your babies and take care of them while you are gone. Give me a few days of notice so I can plan my work schedule and travel plans accordingly. For longer stays, please give me a few weeks notice.

Ratings and reviews
Leaving your dog behind while traveling is never easy, but with them, it truly felt like I was leaving my dog with family - not in a dog boarding home. From the moment we arrived, they gave him the time and space to settle in comfortably before I left, which meant so much to me. Throughout his stay, they kept me constantly updated with messages and pictures, and I could genuinely see how loved and cared for he was. Their love for dogs is so incredibly clear not just in what they do, but in how they do it. I’m so grateful we found them. It honestly feels like finding the nanny for your baby - that rare person who makes you feel completely at peace knowing that my dog is in the best hands possible. Traveling has become so much less stressful and less guilt-filled because of them. Thank you for loving and caring for my dog like your own. We couldn’t recommend you more highly.
I highly recommend Sameer! You can immediately tell he genuinely loves dogs and treats them like family. Our dog is overly pampered at home and Sameer and family take same care of him every time we drop him off. Our pup is always happy and comfortable with him, and the regular photo and video updates make it so much easier for us to relax while we are away. Sameer also has large backyard which is really good for our active boy! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will actually care for your pet the way you would, he’s a great choice.
Sameer is a wonderful, kind-hearted person and a true dog lover. He made our dog, Rocky, feel comfortable and at ease from the very first moment, and Rocky absolutely loves spending time with him. Sameer is extremely attentive and caring, making sure the dogs are walked several times a day and well looked after throughout their stay. He also has a beautiful backyard with plenty of space for the dogs to run around, play, and enjoy themselves safely. It is clear that he genuinely cares about animals and treats them like family. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and loving to care for their dog.
When we lived in San Jose, we always trusted them to care for our dog. They have a beautiful home with a spacious backyard, and they treated our pet like family. As fellow pet owners who previously had a dog themselves, they truly understand how to care for animals with love and attention. We had a wonderful experience and would absolutely trust them with our pet again.
Leaving your fur baby behind is never easy, but from the very first day, we knew our dog was in the most loving hands possible. He wasn’t treated like a “boarded pet” — he was truly welcomed as part of the family. From cuddling on the couch and sleeping on the bed to being included in everyday routines, he felt completely at home and so deeply loved. The care, patience, and affection shown towards him meant the world to us. He enjoyed frequent walks, lots of attention, playtime, and even came back having learned a few adorable new tricks! It was so heartwarming to see how happy, relaxed, and comfortable he was throughout his stay. Knowing our dog was not just cared for, but genuinely loved like family, gave us such incredible peace of mind. We are beyond grateful and would recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone who will love their dog as their own.
As a dog owner myself, I'm very selective about care giving to my pet. I know them from many years and their deep rooted live to the animals. They are passionate, remarkably reliable and treats them with love and affection. They understands the responsibility involved in pet care, from maintaining feeding schedules to ensuring proper exercise.

Schedule
I work from home, so your dog is never left alone for long. They'll have company throughout the day, regular outdoor breaks, and plenty of attention. My schedule is flexible, which means I can give dogs the time and attention they deserve — regular walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day rather than just morning and evening. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine since we have had our own dog at home. Morning and evening walks are already built into my day, and I make sure every dog in our care gets exercise, attention, and downtime on a consistent schedule.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced yard. My home is a safe, pet-friendly environment — I had a dog of my own, so I've already done the work of making sure the space is comfortable and secure for animals. I have a fenced yard where dogs can play freely, and I always supervise interactions between pets to make sure everyone gets along well. I treat every dog as an individual — some need more activity, some need more quiet time, and I adjust accordingly. Food, medications, and any special routines are followed exactly as the owner instructs. I keep leashes on during walks in the neighborhood and never leave guest dogs unattended outside. You'll receive regular photo and text updates throughout the stay so you always have peace of mind.
A typical day
walk through our quiet residential streets, followed by outdoor playtime in the fenced yard. Midday includes rest, cuddles, and check-ins throughout the day. Evening walk before settling in for the night. Photo updates sent regularly so you always know your pup is happy and comfortable.
