“Our pup Amidala had the best time with Marissa! With plenty of walks, play time, and pictures of her having fun, we knew Ami really enjoyed her stay. Communication and everything else was so great, we would have enjoyed more daycare days if we were staying in the area! Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve owned dogs most of my life and consistently for the past 11 years — small or large, puppy or senior, I love them all. My own pets thrive on routine, so your dog will get consistent walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I currently share my home with a pug and an 18-year-old cat, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels. Pug mom + cat whisperer offering a loving, low-key place to stay I work from home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches — they’ll get plenty of company, attention, and bathroom/play breaks built right into my day. Pet care isn’t an interruption to my routine, it’s part of it. Your dog will get long walks through my beautiful neighborhood, plus supervised outdoor time tethered out front alongside my pug (my yard is unfenced, so all outdoor time is supervised). I’m happy to crate your pet if you provide one, and I’ll keep them on whatever feeding and routine schedule they’re used to at home.

“Frankie is a rescued breeder dog and has some head noise from his previous life, especially when it comes to cages and restraints. He also has separation anxiety when he spends time away from his new family. But every now and then we all need a vacation - right? Soooo happy to have found Suzanne, she was perfect to watch Frankie while we were away. Gentle, kind and patient, I could tell she really cared. She regularly sent pictures and corresponded. Couldn't have asked for a better boarding experience!”

Annette and her husband did a wonderful job with my dog Teddy! I had adopted him just a few weeks before I had to leave for a few days, so I was worried about him being anxious while I was away. But they took great care of him and sent adorable photo updates every day! He also enjoyed playing in their backyard.

Harlem had the best time with Haley and Skipper. He got to play in the yard, go to the dog park, and he got lots of cuddles and belly rubs.
