Hi Fellow Pup-Lovers and Pet-Parents! We’re Jade and Jeff.
We host doggie staycation stays from our cozy dog-friendly home in convenient San Mateo, just 10 minutes from SFO.
As a retired husband-and-wife duo and lifelong animal lovers, we’re fully committed to providing exclusive in-home, cage-free stays filled with the care, love, and belly rubs your pup deserves.
We only host 2–3 friendly dogs at a time (up to 4 during holidays), providing a calm, cozy alternative to crowded kennels. Every pup guest is carefully screened to ensure a safe, happy pack. Our goal is to provide the safest, most comfortable stay for your dog, while making sure we’re able to give every guest the attention they deserve.
WHY CHOOSE US?
Because we are retired, we have a lot of time to spend with your fur babies. We are available all day and night and also weekends and most holidays. We’re retired homebodies and usually home with the pups. When we occasionally step out—like for a quick errand or dinner—we’re usually gone no more than about 4 - 4.5 hours.
We’re fully insured under a top-tier, comprehensive pet care business policy, Century Surety Company, with a liability limit up to $1 M per incident.
We don’t currently have a dog of our own—so we pour all that love into yours! We truly miss having a pup in the house, and every dog we care for becomes family.
Our goal is to make your dog’s staycation as fun, safe, and cozy as it can be. We love playing games with the dogs and taking them to the neighborhood park just a few blocks away.

Daily walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of cuddles—all tailored to your dog’s needs and routine
