My husband and I both love dogs, we have a super smart Poodle/Yorkie mix, aptly named Smartie. He's up there in years, but is still a happy boy. We've been DogVacay/Rover hosts for since 2014. If you're looking for the right sitter for your precious dog, please read our profile, and come by for a meet and greet. Smartie has a great sense of play, and is really easygoing. Toys and comfy spaces abound in our home, and we have a lovely, fully-fenced backyard (pesticide/herbicide free) that's perfect for romping. We also love to go for walks around the neighborhood, a nearby park, and we sometimes go to the dog park at Mason District when we don't have a dog park in our own backyard. We provide a loving, safe, fun vacation home for your small to medium-sized pet(s). We generally accept only two overnight guests at a time, and only one new guest at a time. We'll provide updates with pictures. Still worried? Don't be, but you're welcome to call. Please be aware we cannot accept dogs over 30 pounds, and dogs over one year old must be fully housebroken.

Susan was so great with my dog! Emy had trauma in her early life before we rescued her so she can be very anxious around new people. Susan was so patient with her and when we picked her up I think she listened and behaved better for Susan than she did for us! LOL. Our dog really enjoyed playing with the other dogs in the house and LOVED the big, fenced in backyard.

Susan was great with our dog Duke - easy to coordinate a meet and greet, super nice and accommodating to different dog styles. She only takes one new dog at a time to make sure there's not too much chaos. Her husband is also very nice! Duke made his way into their bed by the end of the stay, they really treat your dog like their own and you get plenty of picture updates :)

Daisy had a wonderful time at Susan’s. I was able to relax on vacation knowing she was well-cared for. She had outdoor time, snuggles on the chair, and was able to be around other dogs. There were enough rugs and they were able to work with Daisy being uncomfortable with slippery floors. Susan will be my first choice for future bookings.

Susan and her husband were wonderful dog sitters to our cocker spaniel. I would highly recommend!

Susan was diligent with Penaut’s care plan and easy to communicate with. We appreciated her attention to detail and would book her again.
