Kind&attentive animal-lover

Experienced doggy-foster mom 🥰 I've been caring for others' fur babies since I was about 10 years old. Dogs, cats, hamsters, lizards (OK, no fur but you get it), and more! I grew up in a home with lots of pets and have had a deep connection to animals for as long as I can remember. Recently I began fostering for Fur Sisters and it's been such a privilege to get to love on doggies in need. Currently though, I'm taking a break from fostering-- but I still need some furbabies to love so here I am!! Due long-term traveling I do from time to time, I can't have any of my own pets, so I fill that little hole in my heart by fostering and loving other peoples pets. I am experienced with all size dogs as well as animals that require medication, and even hospice care. I own my own home, have a large fenced yard and lots of great walking trails by my house! There are currently no kids or animals in the home. I work virtually from home, so weather you are looking to have your pets stay with me or want me to come to you, lots of love and attention is guaranteed 🥰🥰

Susan took amazing care of our boys when we were in town for the delivery of our grandson. It was a last minute booking for boarding and we couldn't be more thankful! Suson loved on them...it was clear they trusted her!

Leo had a great stay with Susan! She kept me updated with pics and kindly followed all my instructions for my pup. I could tell Leo had a great stay with her and I will definitely stick with Susan for my next trip.

Susan is a Gem! She treated our Golden Retriever "Butters" as her own for an entire week - IN HER HOUSE! Butters had a very nice fenced-in back yard to play in with Susan, as they both enjoyed the morning breezes; They took long walks together on the paths & docks nearby; She gave him hugs and love as they chilled together in the evening. She is our new go-to-gal for dog care. Butters was home...away from home. Thank You, Susan!

Susan was amazing with our 1-year-old dog while we were out of town! She is very responsible, and has a clean and spacious home. She was very communicative, and kept us updated everyday with photos and was very sweet, attentive, playful and loving with our dog. We will definitely use Susan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!

Schedule

I'm currently working remotely and spend most of the day at home. I love working in the backyard on my laptop and it's a perfect place for a doggie to join me and chill! My neighborhood is full of great walking trails, so having a dog with me is the perfect excuse to take a break and go for a walk.

Safety, trust & environment

For home-stays, I have a large, fenced backyard. There are numerous walking trails and dog parks in my neighborhood for the doggies that like to get out and about! There are no kids or pets living here.

A typical day

I'm happy to adjust my schedule to give your furbabies what they need! If your dog is used to high activity, play, and walks, I can happily make that happen. If you have a senior dog or one that just prefers to relax, I can meet their needs as well :) I love working on my laptop on my patio while the pups I'm watching play, nap, and explore in my backyard. They will never be left unattended outside :)
