Who We Are
Welcome — we’re Jade and Jeff. We offer calm, personalized in-home dog boarding from our cozy, dog-friendly home in San Mateo, serving nearby Bay Area communities.
As a retired husband-and-wife team, we’re fully committed to providing attentive, in-home, cage-free boarding filled with the care, love, and belly rubs your dog deserves. We intentionally care for a small number of dogs at a time — typically up to three, and up to four during holidays and peak periods, creating a calm, cozy alternative to loud, crowded kennels.
Every dog is carefully screened to ensure a safe, happy pack and a comfortable stay for everyone. This approach allows us to provide personalized, one-on-one attention, along with enriching activities that keep your dog mentally engaged and having fun throughout their stay.
We specialize in high-touch, boutique in-home dog boarding for dogs who do best in a quiet, low-volume home environment. Our care is provided in our home and is intended for overnight and extended stays. We do not offer drop-in visits, a daycare program, or in-home sitting at the owner’s home.
Why Choose Us?
Our retired lifestyle allows us to provide what most boarding options can’t: consistent, attentive, all-day care. We’re available throughout the day and night, including weekends and most holidays. When we do step out briefly for errands or dinner, we plan carefully so dogs are rarely left alone for more than four hours. Most of the time, one of us is home.
We’re fully insured under a top-tier, comprehensive pet care business policy, Business Insurers of the Carolinas, with a liability limit up to two million dollars so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
We don’t currently have a dog of our own, which means we pour all our love and attention into the dogs we care for. We truly miss having a pup in the house, so every guest is treated like a cherished member of our family.
Our goal is to make your dog’s staycation completely enjoyable and stress-free. You can fully relax knowing they’re well cared for in a quiet home environment, similar to the care they receive at home with you.
What We Offer
Spacious fenced-in front and back yards, grassy play area, and a roomy patio
Daily walks, up to 30 minutes, personalized feeding, one-on-one playtime, and plenty of cuddles — all tailored to your dog’s needs and routine.
Engaging enrichment activities such as treat scavenger hunts, guessing games, and puzzle toys to keep your dog mentally stimulated during their stay.
Nightly tuck-ins to help your dog wind down and feel secure. Before bedtime, we spend a few quiet moments with each dog, helping them relax with gentle petting and belly rubs.
Lots of relaxed cuddle time and attention throughout the day, because we really love having dogs around us.
