PupMont
Premium In-Home Dog Boarding
Limited Capacity. Limitless Care.
Welcome to PupMont!
BASED IN SAN MATEO - SERVING THE BAY AREA - 15 MINUTES FROM SFO
If you're looking for a calm, loving, crate-free alternative to traditional boarding, you're in the right place.
We're a retired husband-and-wife team dedicated to providing small-scale, enrichment-based boarding where genuine care, premium comfort, and thoughtful attention are built into every single stay. We host just three dogs at a time (four during holidays), so every dog receives attentive, unhurried care in a peaceful setting. It's the kind of experience that simply isn't possible in a larger facility or a busy, high-volume boarding home.
We believe exceptional care begins with caregivers who genuinely love what they do. We intentionally keep our group small so caring for every guest feels as natural and joyful as caring for our own dogs. Learn about our Mission and Core Values.
Our goal is simple: your dog's stay should be as enjoyable and stress-free as possible, so you can fully relax knowing, they're loved and cared for in a place where they can comfortably roam, relax, and feel like part of the family.
What We Offer
SMALL GROUP CARE - CALM HOME SETTING - LICENSED AND INSURED
Our lifestyle allows us to provide consistent, around-the-clock care in our home. We plan carefully so dogs are not left alone for more than four hours. Usually, at least one of us is home. Our professional credentials mean that we are reliable and prepared.
Real Home Environment
A quiet, welcoming home with fenced-in front and back yards, play area, and a roomy patio. Crates are never required, though always welcome if your pup finds comfort in one. Our home offers a variety of cozy sleeping spots so every dog can settle in wherever feels right for them, choosing from a variety of cozy spots throughout the home, including orthopedic memory foam beds. While staying in our home, dogs can roam free, relax, and have supervised play in our safe outdoor areas.
Undivided Attention
With just a small, curated group of guests and two full-time caregivers, each dog receives the kind of individualized attention and genuine connection that only small group care can offer: as close to their own home as possible, without actually being there.
Loving, Affectionate Care
No scheduled cuddle sessions or add-on fees here. Plenty of cuddles, snuggles, and lap time flow naturally throughout the day, the way it would in any family home.
Clean filtered air, soft white noise, and nightly tuck-ins help them relax and feel secure.
Walks, Playtime and Hikes
THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF EXERCISE AND FUN
Our pup guests receive daily structured walks (typically 20 to 30 minutes), along with additional shorter outings and yard time throughout the day. Each walk is tailored to your dog’s age, health, and energy level. Our walks often take us to our neighborhood park, where dogs can enjoy a stroll around the park or, if they are social and comfortable, play in the enclosed dog park. Dog park visits are always optional. For dogs with higher energy levels, we occasionally enjoy longer adventures on nearby dog-friendly hiking trails.
Meal Times
We provide personalized feeding and simple, routine medications based on your instructions. Whether it's defrosting frozen meals, adding a delicious topper to their kibble, or sprinkling their favorite treat on top, we've got it covered. Pup guests are always separated during mealtimes.
Enrichment Activities
We provide fun, stimulating experi-ences throughout the day: scavenger hunts in the yard, sensory and scent games, leisurely sniffari walks, and puzzle toys to keep curious minds engaged. On occasion, dogs who are a good fit may join us on local hikes and walks
"The activities they provided were beyond anything I expected: enrichment games, invigorating hikes, and daily trips to the dog park kept Scarlett engaged and active."

Stay Connected
We send daily updates with high-quality photos, videos, and detailed written reports, so no matter where you are, you never miss a precious moment.
"Hi Gary,
How are you doing? Jeff took the pups for a walk to the park this afternoon, and they’ve been really enjoying the mild spring weather we’ve been having. Albie and Scarlett are getting more comfortable with each other, and today they really let loose. I haven’t seen them play together with such reckless abandon before. They were chasing each other around the yard and play-fighting until they were completely exhausted. Lots of exercise and clearly having a great time.
Albie is such a well-adjusted, confident, and goofy dog. Exactly the kind we love having here. Hope you’re enjoying your trip!
Warmly,
Jade"
