Highlights
Pet care experience
Over an acre of doggie play zone!
I live with my husband of 30 years. I'm a former teacher and my husband is a current teacher. I think of my dogs as my furry children. I've had at least one dog my entire life (let's say I'm in my middle years!) and I can't imagine life without one. I will treat your fur babies with respect and dignity. I give treats for positive behavior but I won't spoil your dog. In our home, pets are part of the family. We move-over on the couch for the dogs! And, of course, they can sleep in our bed! Does she like to snuggle under the covers with us? – no problem! Or, if he likes his space in his own bed, no problem either. Animals need exercise and play just like people. And sometimes we all need a little quiet time so we will do that too! Consider your dog part of our family when they visit! We live in an 1890s farmhouse mutt of a home-- a little country in the city. Our play area is a wooded/natural setting to run and play. We have a large fenced-in area where dogs can play safely. We also love to take the dogs to local open space trails for long leash walks too!! Come play with us!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Susan always does such a great job! She’s very attentive and aware of our dogs needs. We always use her when available.
Susan always takes great care of my girls and provides plenty of cute pictures while I’m out of town. Would book with her every time.
I left my little dog, Buster, with Susan for almost ten days. She sent pictures each day and helped him feel at home right away. He was happy to see me but also seemed really happy to be in the pack of dogs that were staying there. The property is perfect for dogs and Susan is very available to them during their stay. Susan is a reliable sitter who will help you relax during your travels as your pet is safe with her.
Our girls loved being at Susan’s home, I’m sure they can’t wait for their next stay. She made them and us feel at home and had so many wonderful activities with them planned, I started referring to their weekend as our dogs being at camp. Thank you for the great pictures and we will be rebooking for next trip.
Our nervous dog did great for 4 nights. Susan treats your dog as one of her own!! Good energy, great backyard & happy pups!! Highly recommend her!! Thank you Susan!!
Susan was great! Zidi was happy and comfortable and had doggie friends to play with. He had lots of room to play or nap. Susan sent lots of photos and kept us posted throughout our vacation.

Schedule
I’m home full-time with the dogs for playing, walks, treats, and tricks. I make sure your dog has an opportunity to go outside every hour. When your dogs stay with me, they are my main responsibility.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced area with plenty of shade and space to run. My indoor space is cozy and laid back. Plenty of couch spaces for afternoon naps!

A typical day
We love to play fetch, walk around our property, catch the breeze in front of the evaporative cooler in the summer, cuddle, doggie massages, treats for tricks. If doggies are up for it, we'll take them to walk around Thomas Reservoir up the road or for a nice leisurely spin around the neighborhood across the way. If your dog is up for a long walk we enjoy hiking at the Dry Creek Open space off Baseline Road where there’s a fun water hole if your dog wants a dunk. We also have a kiddy pool in the yard for summertime fun. My home is very laid back so we will always have stress-free fun and lots of toys for chewing, snuggling and squeaking.
