Doggy Day Care Outer Mission

“Renee and Christopher are wonderful. My senior dog loves going to stay with them. They are loving and kind and accommodating to my dog’s eating needs. It is such a relief to know our dog Jeffrey is in good hands when we are away. They provide me with photos and anecdotes throughout the day.”

About: 🏡 Home with grassy backyard walking distance to Mt. Davidson 👩🏻‍💻 Fully remote and hybrid schedules means your dog would rarely be alone! 🐶 Up to 2 dogs at a time (please don’t hesitate to reach out if you prefer your dog to be boarded alone - we are more than willing to accommodate this) Hi PAWSOME dog parents!! I grew up with my family’s 2 cats and 1 dog, and my husband and I have done cat sitting and dog boarding for several family friends. We are now hoping to expand that to more of you! I (Christine) currently work full time as a data scientist and my husband (Mark) is a software engineer and is fully remote. We have 2 young children who love interacting with dogs! We love spending our free time playing, taking pictures of, and hanging out with the pets we pet sit! I work on a hybrid schedule, going into the office 3 days a week and working from home the other 2 days. Mark works from home every day! If one of us isn’t home, the other is usually at home, so your dog would rarely be alone! We live in a single family home with a large grassy backyard in a quiet neighborhood. The dogs we have boarded love to run around, lay in the sun, and take regular potty breaks in our backyard! We love to walk and run around our neighborhood, frequently visiting Mt. Davidson, Twin Peaks, and Lake Merced! We love it even more when we get to bring dogs with us! NOTE 1: your dog must be crate trained. They may sleep in their crate at night in case of emergencies or at the owner’s request, but we normally allow dogs to sleep with us on the bed! NOTE 2: my parents come over with their 16 year old maltipoo (10 lbs) approximately 3 times a month, so your dog must be okay with other dogs and may meet my parents dog. NOTE 3: We currently board up to 2 dogs at the same time (if my parents’ dog is here, there may be 3 dogs max). If you prefer to have us board only your dog during the time you need, please don’t hesitate to reach out and we may be able to accommodate your dog. NOTE 4: we prefer small dogs, but can make exceptions for medium dogs (up to 30 lbs) on a case by case basis, so please don’t hesitate to reach out! NOTE 5: We don’t accept pee pad trained dogs. Your dog must be house trained. We have a fenced backyard and can let your dog out frequently for potty breaks. NOTE 6: Your dog must be good with young children and have had previous experience with or currently live with young children.

“Karen and Jeff were great! They were very welcoming of Macey even though she's still a puppy. They seem to keep Macey active and engaged with walks and playtime. Their own dog seemed to accept Macey as the day went on. Macey napped and ate well there. They kept me informed with photos and notes. Macey and I both felt comfortable with Karen and Jeff.”

“Yingxin was great! She and her parents took care of my pup and sent plenty of updates during his short stay”

Desirée & Steven D.

“I met Sheena for a meet n greet and must say that, unlike other Rover employees I have encountered, I was impressed with the time and interest she took in getting to know my dog. After meeting her, I felt extremely comfortable having her watch him and booked daycare. I just picked up my dog from "daycare" with her and he looked pretty happy. Sheena was communicative regarding questions that arose during his stay with her. She took 2 very cute pictures of him to add to my collection. I will ABSOLUTELY be booking Sheena again for daycare and boarding.”

“Bruce did a great job with my senior dog, Flynn who’s 13. His patience and attention to detail is unmatched. I’m very glad I chose Bruce for my first time using a dog sitter.”

Eddy Y.

“Stanley was so well looked after. He settled in really quickly, as I could see from the photos I was sent throughout the day. He’s normally a little nervous with new people, but when I came to pick him up he was completely calm and settled. Thank you Martin and Robert for taking such good care of him!”

Malachy O.

“Stephanie was reliable and communicative, providing regular updates and photos. Our Poppy had a wonderful time and was so well cared for. We’d definitely book with her again! Highly recommended!”

Patricia Almira B.

“Jillian was so sweet with my super anxious dog. Really appreciate her kindness to Snowie!”

Mirella S.

“Vanda was great, she was very patient, kind and caring for my senior dachshund. Gave him massages for his arthritis and cleaned his bedding after an accident. Was very understanding after something held me up at work and had to extend daycare for an hour. Would have her watch him again when we need her again.”

Andrew Z.

“Gordon & Allison watched our senior dog Doodle Bug for a few days. They were very understanding of his special needs as a 14 year old dog with joint problems, and we received regular updates on how Doodle Bug was doing with cute photos attached. We would happily trust Gordon and Allison with our beloved Doodle Bug again in the future.”

Samuel S.

“My children had excellent daycare as infants. Jayern’s care for my dog far exceeds what they received. She is incredible, flexible, and very reasonably priced. Our dog, my husband and I are huge fans.”

Colette A.

“Emily is amazing! My Missy gets along so well with her Addie! I love that my dog is happy to go there when we arrive. 10/10 experience so far!”

About: Hi, I’m Joey! I have hands-on experience caring for and training dogs from 5 months to 10 years old, working with a variety of breeds, energy levels, and behavioral needs. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely love spending time with dogs. Whether your pup needs structured exercise, calm companionship, or reinforcement of good habits, I tailor my care to their personality and routine. I work from home, which allows me to offer flexible scheduling for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the day. Because I occasionally travel for work, I keep my calendar very up to date. If you see availability, I am committed to that time. I just ask that bookings are confirmed in advance whenever possible. For doggy daycare, I live with my partner, and we both work from home. This means your pup will have plenty of company and supervision throughout the day, and if I’m traveling for work, my partner is able to care for them as well. We’re very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and are happy to work around your schedule whenever possible. Feel free to send your dog with their favorite toys, treats, or anything else that helps them feel comfortable. I’m happy to tailor their daycare experience to their individual needs and preferences. Please note: I require a meet & greet before accepting any first-time booking. This helps ensure we’re a great fit and that your dog feels comfortable and safe with me. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all owner instructions and pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any behavioral cues. I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they feel secure, cared for, and understood while you’re away.

“She loves the dogs and the dogs love her she's amazing!!”

“Sherry and her husband were great! The photos, videos and mini updates that Sherry provided meant the world to me. They were also flexible with the pickup time after my partners flight got delayed. Thank you for caring for Luna. I would absolutely book again! My first experience with Rover was a success!”

Jasmine S.

“My pup Hira spent a day with Varun. She seemed happy and relaxed. Varun and his fiancee were super pleasant and friendly. It was easy to book and they were flexible. I felt comfortable leaving my pup with them. This was Hira’s first stay with Varun. So glad I connected with him. We will definitely board Hira with them again. Highly recommend!”

Tina M.

“Thanks to Rachel and Ryan for the last minute help wit my Starla. There updates were very assuring and there love for dogs shows. I would definitely recommend these two kind folks to anyone!”
