Meet Jade
Paws-itively Converted
You might be surprised to know that I haven't always been a dog lover. When I was five years old, I was chased by a ferocious neighborhood dog and almost bitten. That scary moment left me terrified of dogs for most of my life.
Everything changed when my sister got Bella. I started dog sitting her and fell in love. That's when I realized — I'm a total dog person! It took me years to discover just how incredibly loving, sweet, and endearing they are. The biggest surprise was how unique their little personalities are.
After leaving the corporate world, where my job was just a job, this work feels incredibly rewarding. What started as a casual side gig has become our purpose and our daily joy.
When I'm not with our pup guests, you'll find me trail running among the redwoods, especially on the trails off Skyline and near Half Moon Bay or honing my photography skills.
Meet Jeff
Chief Ruff-housing Officer
I've always been a dog person at heart. I grew up with dogs, but after moving out on my own, I went years without one. It wasn't until we started watching Bella that I remembered just how much I'd missed that connection. Seeing her personality and spirit reinvigorated my love for dogs and reminded me just how much joy they bring.
The best part of it is getting to know dogs of every shape, size, and personality. They're so unique, and each one has their funny little quirks. A prime example is Dozer, who carried a soccer-sized green ball everywhere he went, even to bed... and don't you even think about taking it away from him.
I spent years in corporate sales, working because I had to. This is completely different. This is more fun than it is work. I never anticipated enjoying retirement this much.
When I'm not on dog duty, I'm usually tinkering on a home project around the house — and my favorite part is having a dog hanging out in the yard keeping me company while I work. I'm also an avid golfer.
