Loving care for your fur friends

Hi! My name is Suellen, and I’m originally from Brazil. I’ve lived in the Madison area for over 16 years. I truly love dogs and enjoy giving them a safe, comfortable, and loving home away from home. I provide boarding and daycare in my home, where dogs have access to a fenced backyard, plenty of attention, and time to relax and play. I also enjoy taking them for walks and to the park when appropriate. I have crates and pet gates available, depending on each dog’s needs and routine. I have two dogs of my own, Mia and Wes, who are used to having other dogs around. They are respectful of other dogs and give them space when needed. I like to learn each dog’s personality, routine, feeding schedule, and special needs so I can keep their stay as comfortable as possible. I also send lots of photos and videos so you can see how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. ❤️🐶 I usually like to meet families and their dogs at my home before the first stay. This gives your dog a chance to get familiar with me, my dogs, and the environment before staying with us. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. 🐾❤️

Suellen took such good care of my one year-old puppy. I was a little nervous to leave her since I just adopted Winnie three months ago and she has isolation anxiety, but she had a wonderful time staying with Suellen. You can tell she really loves dogs by the way she interacts with them. Her backyard is the perfect set up for dogs to play. Winnie really enjoyed the other two dogs in the house. I received regular updates which helped ease my worries while away. I would highly recommend Suellen!

Suellen was so attentive to my dog! She sent pictures and videos and really took her time to listen and understand exactly what Caxixi would need while I was gone. She has two other dogs and it was great for Caxixi to have a companion over the long weekend! I would highly recommend Suellen’s services.

Suellen did a fantastic job watching my dog! Suellen provided a ton of lovely photos, ensured great socialization, and even gave my dog a bath. Flexible on drop off and pickup. 5 stars!

Suellen was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and updates, which I greatly appreciated. This was our dog’s first time with her and she is a nervous dog, so it helped to know that she was happy and having fun. She came home smelling clean too! I highly recommend Suellen as a dog sitter.

I am a stay-at-home wife, which means I have the luxury of plenty of time to devote to your furry family members. Being at home full-time allows me to provide constant attention, playtime, and companionship to your pets. Whether it's daily walks, regular feeding schedules, or simply keeping them company, I can ensure that your beloved pets receive the care and affection they need throughout the day. They'll become a cherished part of my daily routine, and I'll be there to make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

Continuous supervision - If they are in the house or outside in our secure fenced-in backyard, I will ensure they are always safe and having fun. Regular Updates: I believe in transparent communication. You will receive regular updates and photos, so you can rest assured that your dogs are safe and sound while in my care. Pet Socialization: If your dogs are social, I can provide carefully supervised playdates with my own friendly dogs, Wes and Mia, promoting a positive and enjoyable social experience for your pets.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with the dogs is full of fun and bonding. We start the day with a morning walk to get some fresh air and exercise, letting them explore and enjoy their surroundings. After breakfast, we have some playful time together—whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or just letting them run around in the yard. Throughout the day, I ensure they stay engaged with their favorite toys and activities, depending on their energy levels and preferences. There’s also a break for some quiet time or a nap to recharge. In the afternoon, we go for another walk or spend time relaxing together. In the evening, we enjoy some cozy time on the couch, snuggling and keeping each other company. Before bed, we finish with a final walk or potty break to make sure they feel calm and ready to sleep. Each day is a balance of physical activity, fun playtime, and peaceful relaxation, keeping the dogs happy and content.

Just a quick friendly reminder — to help keep all the pups happy and healthy, I kindly ask that dogs arrive clean and treated for fleas and ticks before their stay. 😊 This helps ensure a safe and comfortable environment for everyone. Thanks so much for your understanding and for helping keep things smooth for the whole pack! Also let me know if your dog has any special needs, conditions, restrictions, or behaviors that I should be aware of, so I can ensure the best care possible.
