Information Susan H. would like to know about your pet

I like to know about any quirks, because all dogs have at least one. I especially love sporting dogs, examples include pointers, retrievers, setters, spaniels and doodle mixes of course!

A typical day

A typical day includes morning playtime followed by nap time with lullabies and then lots of afternoon playtime. Everyone has fun. Dogs go home tired and happy.

Pet care experience

Up to date vaccine records are required. No exceptions! NO HUSKIES! COVID-19 & Flu Update- 1/3/2023 ____________________________ Dogs are not allowed to bring own toys, blankets or food bowls. Food must be in a disposable plastic bag. No dog owners are allowed in the house. Please text upon arrival and I will come outside to greet you. _____________________________ Looking for your dog to have a good time away from home? This is your place. I have very friendly dogs that love company and love making new friends. I keep the dogs together in a doggy room where I have a web cam set up so I can check in on them at all times. My backyard is big and fenced so there's plenty of room for running and playing. *Drop offs and pick ups are by appointment only! I understand there are schedule changes such as work delays, flight changes and traffic jams and I try to be flexible. I simply ask for a text update. Please be considerate of my time, because I will be considerate of your's. I've had dogs my entire life and believe that life is not complete without a dog's love and companionship. If you want your furbaby to be well taken care, loved and exercised, book with me today!

Susan took great care of our senior dog while we were out of town over a long weekend. She is a great communicator and even sent daily photos. I would definitely recommend Susan when boarding your dog.
