Doggy Day Care Outer Richmond

“Amanda and Steve met for a doggy park meeting beforehand and I knew they could be trusted from there. Amanda took great care of Missy and was very communicative the entire time. I revived many pictures where Missy looked very happy. Missy got along great with Amanda’s pup too! I will definitely book with them again!”

“Sam was a great dog sitter! We brought our new puppy in and he was very well taken care of. I appreciated the periodic updates and videos she shared throughout the evening, I always felt like our dog was in great hands.”

About: I grew up in a cat household but have had my pup for 12 years since she was a puppy. I love all animals and have grown particularly fond of small dogs since my dog was gifted to me 12 years ago! I only work 3 days a week and on the days I’m home, I’d love to care for your small dog! My girl is used to dogs visiting and I am happy to love on your baby like my own! Dogs are allowed on couches and beds. I never allow them in the backyard without supervision and is not a substitution for regular walks every 2 hours (or more as needed). Also, I am a human nurse so I would be comfortable with administering medications as necessary!

About: As a dog parent myself, I understand how hard it can be to leave your pup with someone else. I’m attentive to the little things: their routines, body language, favorite activities, quirks, and the things that help them feel secure. I’ll give your dog plenty of affection, playtime, walks, and opportunities to sniff and explore, not just the bare minimum. I’m especially passionate about making dogs feel comfortable in their own environment rather than disrupting their routine. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I work from home on Mondays and Wednesdays, and usually free on weekends to care for your pup. I’d love to be your dog’s best friend!! Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where your pup can feel secure, while keeping a close eye on their routines, body language, and individual needs. I’m mindful about preventing escapes, keeping potentially harmful items out of reach, and making sure dogs have plenty of opportunities to rest, play, sniff, and explore at their own pace. I also take the time to learn about each dog’s personality, triggers, feeding and exercise routines, and any special instructions so their time with me feels as comfortable and familiar as possible. Most importantly, I treat every dog like family and want you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pup is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

“Jesse saved us when we were in a last minute bind. He sent us pictures of Clyde, and he came back to us happy and tired from playing all day. 10/10!”

About: I'm a foreigner and I should have left my little Hachi and Bailey in my country with their grandmother, my mom🤣 it's hard to be away from them and my way of spreading the love I feel for animals is by helping to take care of them, even for a couple of hours. I can guarantee that I will take care of them and give them love for as long as you need as if they were mine❤️ The work you currently do leaves me a lot of freedom of time, it can be said that I am my own boss, I can adapt to the time I need to take care of your pets, it would only be a matter of talking about it beforehand and with time. I really have availability every day I don't have dogs at home, my garden is fenced but my apartment is small and I consider it preferable to play or take care of pets in their comfort zone, but I have no problem bringing them home if necessary.

About: Here to provide a happy and safe place for your dog to stay while you are away. Our house is myself and my 6 year old Aussie mix, Belinda, live blocks from GGP, Ocean Beach, and just a quick drive to Chrissy Beach. Our morning always starts with a beach or trail walk before coming home to relaxing house vibes. We live in a single family home with large full sun backyard with level access to den furnished garage for dog hang out space, otherwise house is fully accessible with work from home energy. We are looking for 2+ year old dogs over 30lbs or more - all dogs must be spayed or neutered and have basic obedience. Our typical routine involves off leash walks and expect dogs to have strong recall and able to be walked on voice control trails. Expecting dogs that can maintain low indoor engergy between active routines for early and end of day 40+ min walks utilizing local nature around Richmond neighborhood. Daily activity routine is commonly a mix of; - Morning beach walk at OB, Chrissy Beach, or Fort Funston (40-60min) - these are typically off leash where allowed but always ensuring a good run about, recall skills are expected. If not comfortable on leash walking can be supported. - Midday neighorhood walk (15-30min) - Local walk around the neighborhood to get sniffs and some movement in - End of day park/beach/trail walk (30-50min) - Depending on day and weather; GGP, Ocean Beach, Stern Grove, Funston etc are used end of day walk. To ensure this is a good match for all the dogs (and people) involved, please make sure when you send a booking request, please update your dog's information (vaccination, age, etc) and send us a message with the answers to the questions below (Due to insurance policy, we can't accept the breed / any mixed-breed of Doberman, Mastiff, Pit Bull, Chow, and Rottweiler). Looking to ensure the dogs have a great time and owners feel good about your time away and trust a safe and fun enviroment is being created for your pet. 1) Is your dog able to be walked off-leash on trails where "off leash under voice control" is allowed with reliable recall response? Recall is when verbal or singled command is given dog returns to comfortable space to either leash or hold based on situation. Belinda and I walk regularly off leash at allowed areas and want to ensure we do not endanger your dog or other's while being off leash together in these areas. 2) Does your dog have any known separation anxiety tendenceies? Either when away from people or when left with other dogs? This could be expressed through whining, barking, destruction of property etc? If so - is your dog crate trained to provide comforting and secure place when errands or other normal life activities are required during stay. 3) Does your dog have watchdog mindset of barking based on common stimuli like footsteps outside, unknown voices, garage doors opening/closing? A space that may have other dogs and work from home activities this type of energy can be stressful to all and may not be an ideal fit. 4) Following a walk, is your dog still "full of energy" - ensuring the energy of the space is maintained during stays, generally house in in relaxing/focused mode between large walks with dogs and humans respectively. 5) Does your dog have any destructive behaviors (shoes, sock, furniture, etc)? Is your dog potty trained? 6) Is your dog comfortable being with multiple dogs? While total dogs are limited to 4, including Belinda, this can still be overwhelming for some dogs and want to make sure this space is the right potential space for your dog. 7) Let me know any other details you think would be helpful to know about your dog - general routines, favorite activities, known reactive situations, possives with toys/treats etc. Schedule typically starts early around 6:15-6:30 for potty and food - then longer morning walk. From there mid day walk is optional based on schedule for the day and how the dogs are doing, large backyard always availbale. End of day another longer walk before dinner and evening hang time, second walk typically never repeats first walk of the day. House has large fenced backyard and one female dog who loves her beach walks, fetch, and hanging with other dogs. Only looking for dogs that match similar energy and get along with others. We want this to be a safe place for all and dogs to delight and owner's to be worry free while your dog stays with us knowing they are being loved and cared for well while here.

“Flora and William are just the best in every way! They were so communicative from start to finish, sent great updates, were receptive and responsive to my crazy dog sitting guide and, most importantly, Sunny came home happy (and sleepy!)”

“Aaron was so intuitive with our somewhat selectively social dog. I could tell he knew how to work with dogs immediately. Aaron also was east to coordinate and communicate with. Quincy can’t wait to stay with Aaron again!”

“Gage was great with Ziggy during his first week of daycare. He takes the dogs on several walks throughout the day and even brought them to the beach one day. He sent lots of photos and provided detailed updates on how Ziggy’s day went. Overall, Ziggy was very well cared for, and I’ll definitely continue using Gage.”

Hannah T.

“Mikele was fantastic with Archie! She was flexible when we were running way late for drop off. She sent lots of photos and made us feel so at ease while we were out. We hope Archie gets to see Mikele again soon!”

Laura G.

“Eleanor was super communicative and took the best care of Lani! She also took Lani in for day care super last minute and was flexible with timing, which I really appreciated. 10/10 recommend!”

“Joyce was great with our pup. He had a great time with their dog. We received pictures of them playing together. Would definitely have her watch Yam again.”

About: Pawfect Stay is your dog’s staycation when you go on vacation. You can feel confident that your dog will be a part of my family when they stay with us. About me 20 year dog mom; ~16 years human mom. I live with my husband and teenage son. I am an airbnb superhost (10 years) and have hosted dogs for 5 years (for friends mostly). I can guarantee that your dog will feel loved during their stay. About Sparky Sparky is a feisty westie. He’s 7 and 1/2 years old. He’s used to being an only fur child at home, but will quickly adapt to a furry guest (human guests are a different matter). During their stay I will take your dog between my homes in sf and napa, where they will hang out as I tend to housekeeping. Your dog will go on at least two daily walks with me and my dog, Sparky. Sometimes we go on outings to the beach or park (where your dog will always be on a leash). I have a fenced yard at both houses. I take dogs for multiple walks per day in the neighborhood or at the park. Your dogs can sleep on the furniture or with us in bed if they enjoy a good cuddle

“Amazing! Took a trip to SF and was worried about finding a dog sitter for the day. Very trustworthy and glad he took such great care of her. Definitely will trust him again with my Brisket.”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced foster dog parent and Rover dog sitter. I have fostered four dogs, each for up to two months at a time. I currently have no foster pup and don’t have a resident dog, so your dog will be the only dog in my home. I have experience fostering both younger and senior dogs (including hospice care, partially deaf and blind dogs). I work from home so your dog will seldom be alone, and can take them on walks every 4 hours (4 walks a day) with lots of play time. I am also in a very dog-friendly area, minutes from GGP and Mountain Lake Park. I never take dogs to dog parks and do everything to make your dog feel at home! NOTE: Due to my building’s weight limits I can only board dogs 15lbs or under. I work from home which gives me the flexibility to give your dog lots of attention and ample availability to walk or visit your dog throughout the day! With my attentiveness and experience, I make sure your dog has a fun, safe time with me. I avoid other dogs and children. I always keep dogs on leash during walks, and I don’t go to dog parks/off leash areas.

“Amazing!”

“Heather was extremely accommodating and helpful and took really good care of our dog. Would highly recommend them!”
