Highlights
Pet care experience
Doggy Stay-cation west side pond
I provide specialized care for all dogs including bully breeds. You know, those hard to place high energy, breed/mutts that may not get along with others. I have a secure backyard, a dog door and real grass. Tired dogs are good dogs so we will play, play, play! I also provide specialized care for dogs with medical challenges, I like naps too:) I've been training animals and educating children for 35 years and offer private bookings though the prices vary from those listed. Whether private or shared, if you have more than one pup, all are welcome. Shared bookings are for friendly dogs only:)

Thank you again for another great stay + all the love you gave my Homie! He loves staying with you + I appreciate all the hard work you put into making sure he was well taken care of. Thanks again!

Susan was the absolute best for our pups! Our female can take a while to warm up to strangers and Susan understood and then she loved Susan by the end of the weekend. She communicated and updated us often over the weekend which we love. Would absolutely book her again.


Susan do a wonderful job caring for our two dogs (seniors with health issues) as always!


Susan always takes wonderful care of our dogs Bill and Lola Jean - as if they were her own. We trust her completely and really appreciate all the updates that she sends during their stays with her.


Susan went above and beyond, as always, to care for our dogs as if they were her own, including one of whom was recovering from pneumonia and needing a lot of extra care. Thank you so much Susan!!


We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Her sweet demeanor, sending updates, videos and texts each day was so fun for us ❤️

Schedule
I am currently available to spend most of my day with your precious pups. As a former teacher and dog rescuer, I found it difficult to find dog sitters I could trust to devote their time and good consideration to my babies. When I left teaching I became the pet sitter I always wanted. I love them like they are my own, and spoil them like Grandma does;)
