Welcome to the Kennel Haters Club!

Pet care experience

If you just can't take 'em with you, then take 'em here. We got a "Fido Friendly" house with a small fenced in yard. Precita Park and Bernal Hill very near. I'm retired, so my guests will get all the attention they can stand, 24/7. The Kennel Haters Club has been here in our new location for well into the second year now, (as of Mar.2017) so it's time for an update! We are all settled in to our new neighborhood, and we love it here! The new place is smaller than our old location, so we try to limit our guests to three at a time now. Also, some of the very large dogs that are over 100 lbs. may be more comfortable in a larger home. However, the good news is that a three minute walk from here puts us in the middle of dog heaven! - Bernal Heights off-leash dog park! It is practically our back yard! So check out all the photos from my past stays...all the photos dated from March 2015 thru the present will reflect our new home and neighborhood. Better still...come and see for yourself! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover for over 50 years! That's a lot of dog experience! I have also been a professional dog boarder for many years here in SF. I love making new dog friends and seeing how happy they look when they return for another visit! I especially love it when the owners come to pick up their dogs, and the dogs don't want to go!!!! That is the best testimonial of a happy stay, and I think the owners appreciate seeing that too! Meet my pets I don't have any pets of my own, but on any given day, you can expect to see two or three guests running around here. Because of that, we like our dogs to be the type that enjoy the company of other dogs. About my yard I have a fairly small, secure fenced in yard, that is great for outdoor breaks between trips to the park. My experience administering medication I am comfortable and very experienced administering medication.

Steve was awesome! Not only did Steve take great care of Cricket, but he was also excellent about sending updates and pictures, and was flexible when it came to pick up and drop off. Thanks again, Steve!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We like to go to Bernal Hill in the daytime and evenings too. We also like to go to Precita Park. Both are great places to take dogs for exercise and fun. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Most of my customers like to bring their dog's bed with them, but the dogs have the run of the house, and can sleep anywhere they like...except my bed! Time I'll spend with your dog 24/7
