I specialize in accepting only one client's dogs at a time so that your pets get maximum attention. I will occassionally make exceptions if I feel like the two sets of dogs are a good match. If you want your dog to positively be the only one boarded, then let me know and I will honor the request. I homeschool 3 girls who love to help spoil any and all pets. Being home all day, every day with rare exception gives your dogs the best possible vacation, as we will lavish attention on them all day long. Give me your pet's schedule and desires, and I will adhere to them, whether it be sleeping with me or the girls, hand feeding him, you name it! I'm looking forward to making another best fur friend! ATTN: I do not take any dogs in the top 10 aggression list, including mixes of those dogs. Thank you for your understanding.

I can't say enough good things about Susan. The dogs loved playing with her and her family so much, they didn't even want to come home!! In short, we'll be using Susan again for dog sitting whenever we have need. Thanks again Susan!

Raven is very shy and they do a magnificent job with her. Especially her youngest daughter Catherine. Raven even sleeps with her at night. I used them every summer.

Susan and her family did a wonderful job taking care of Lola, our French Bulldog. All of the things folks said about her were true. They kept me well updated with amazing photos and videos. I felt very peaceful that my pet child was in good hands;)

Schedule

I am a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom who owns a toy poodle and cats both inside and outside. Pets are my life, and I'm here all day, every day to care for your pets' needs. We arise early and go to bed late, putting each dog's needs as our priority, and loving them as our own.

Safety, trust & environment

I own 2 acres, with a large, secure, shaded back yard complete with 6 foot privacy fence. Outside play with the family happens several times a day. I take videos and pictures and send updates every night. All of my doors are kept locked day and night. The front door has a secure dog fence around it in order to prevent escapes. Cabinets with any chemicals are secured. Dogs are kept with us in whatever rooms we are in, just being a part of the family. We love to spoil them.

Pets

A typical day

I will follow your pet's schedule. Just communicate their typical day, and I will accommodate my actions to to their needs. Walks can be on lead around my large fenced perimeter or I can let them out regularly to run and play. If your pet enjoys playing fetch or practicing tricks, show me and I will have a daily practice time. Communication of needs is the key to the happiest stay. On a typical day here, we will have your dog amongst family members at all times. During school, they love to be next to one of our doting children. Then there is P.E. time where we actively play outside or inside for three separate 15 minute sessions: fetch, ball, frisbee, running, swinging, walking, leash training, you name it! Evening times often find the whole family with the pets in the living room either watching a movie or playing a game together. Bedtime is wherever your dog normally sleeps: in a crate, in the bed with us, or on a bed on the floor. It's your choice. Regardless of the time of day, your dog will be receiving attention of some sort.

Please answer the following before drop-off: Aggression issues with people, pets, or situations? I have children (13-17), visiting grandchildren (1 to 13) and small pets, and therefore can only take pets that are not prone to aggression. I refuse any pets that are in the top 10 aggression breeds. What is your pet's feeding schedule? Is it feeding at will? Or a set amount at certain times of the day? How does your pet typically spend the night? Can he go the whole night without pottying? Any medications or allergies? What else does he need in his daily schedule to be happy? What commands does your dog know? I love having practice sessions. Is your dog an escape artist? or digger? or climber? Are they up-to-date on flea and tick medication and vaccines? Does your dog get anxious about thunder, fireworks, or any other thing? Please bring your pet's food, and bring his crate IF it is something he uses. Also bring anything that would make your pet feel at home, such as toys or treats. Thank you for helping me to make your pet at home in my home.
