Hello! I'm an experienced dog sitter with a deep love for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand that each dog is unique, and I’m here to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I have cats at home, but don't worry—if your dog isn’t comfortable around them, I’ll keep the cats in the downstairs area so your dog can relax and enjoy their time without any stress. If your dog loves cats, they’re always welcome to meet and get to know my friendly crew. Our home is located by a peaceful lake, providing plenty of space for outdoor walks, playtime, and adventures. The environment is dog-friendly, and I ensure your dog gets all the exercise, attention, and love they need while you're away. I’m dedicated to giving your dog personalized care, keeping their routine as consistent as possible, and offering them companionship throughout their stay. Whether it’s fetch, cuddles, or a relaxing time by the lake, your dog will feel right at home! Can’t wait to meet your furry friend!

Information Sumaiya J. would like to know about your pet

It is very important to be transparent about your animals needs. I would like to know a normal routine, activities they like or dislike. In addition, if they have any behavioral concerns. Do they do well with other dogs or strange people.

A typical day

I really like to take fun and adventurous walks. I am able to through a tennis ball till they are all tired out. I can play tug a war or simply watch a good movie.

I’ve submitted many reviews for Sumaya and continue to sing her praises. She and her partner are so wonderful with our dog who has some issues. Our dog is so happy at their house.

Sumaiya has watched our dog COUNTLESS times and we know she is in the best hands. She sends pictures that let me know my typically anxious dog is relaxed and happy.
