Gables End is pet friendly! With Sierra Vista Park just steps from your front door and easy access to many city park’s, along with Shoreline Regional Park, it’s easy to see why so many pet-owners can make Fido’s dreams come true by owning a home at Gables End in Mountain View.  Since many of our homeowners are active professionals and work often takes them away from home, we thought we’d share a local business that we stumbled across: Doggieville.

Looking for someone to take care of your best friend while you’re away on your next business trip?  Somewhere where your four-legged friend can spend time with other doggie pals in a pet-friendly environment?

Look no further than Doggieville! They offer a wide variety of services for all your pet’s needs, whether it is daycare, sleepover, grooming or training. They provide a full range of services.

A complete list of services and rates can be found on the Doggieville website.  They offer evaluations, which helps to determine if their facility is a good fit for you and your dog, and how to provide the best care for your dog.  Evaluations are held Tues-Thurs, between 9a-12p, and between 2-4p. An appointment to schedule a Saturday evaluation is also available, if necessary.

We’ve never personally used Doggieville, but you can easily see that they are a Mountain View favorite. Check out their reviews on YELP.  Doggieville – giving you the peace of mind that your best friend is well taken care of until you see them again.

A Summary of all Mountain View Local Parks

Finding balance between work and life is sometimes hard to do.  We get it!  So many of us spend our weeks commuting, working long hours in front of our computers, then dashing to daycare or off to errands, only to begin all over again the next day.  It’s easy to forget to take time for oneself.

If you like the outdoors the way we do, you’ll be happy to know that Gables End offers an ideal location for a variety of outdoor activities.  We are conveniently located just minutes away from The Baylands Preserve.  The 1,940-acre Baylands is the largest tract of undisturbed salt marsh and mud flat remaining in the San Francisco Bay.  Considered by many to be one of the best bird watching areas on the west coast, the Baylands has a substantial resident population of birds as well as being a major migratory stopover on the Pacific Flyway. A complete birding map, covering all seasons for year-around fun, can be found here.

However, the Baylands offers much more than birdwatching. There are a variety of activities to do, whether it is on the land – walking, running, golfing or biking – or on the water, wind surfing, and boating (non-motorized such as canoes, kayaks or small, hand-launched boats and sailboards).

There are fifteen miles of multi-use trails providing access to a unique mixture of tidal and fresh water habitats for the whole family to enjoy.  Especially popular is the duck pond!  By living so close to these community amenities, you can make the most of your free-time.

The Baylands, something for everyone and just minutes from Gables End.

Mountain has many great outdoor spots to enjoy. Check them out below.
