🔒 Unmatched Trust, Security & Home Care When you invite us into your home, we take that responsibility very seriously. We treat your space with the highest level of respect—keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. Elite Security & Trust: Susan has held a federal government Top Secret clearance for most of her adult life. This reflects the deep level of integrity, responsibility, and discretion we bring into your home. You can rest easy knowing your privacy and property are completely secure.

We love meeting people from all walks of life and bring a warm, respectful attitude to every household we visit. 🏡 A Safe & Fun Home for Visiting Pets Our home is a welcoming paradise for our guest pets, located in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood that is perfect for peaceful walks. The Yard & Porch: We feature a fully fenced backyard with a doggie door, plus a securely fenced front porch equipped with a cozy dog bed—the ultimate spot for pups who love relaxing and watching the world go by. Our Pack & Trial Policy: Because we have two Huskies and a cat of our own, we host visiting dogs on a case-by-case basis to ensure everyone's safety.

Your pets will always be our absolute first priority, but your home’s security matters deeply to us, too. Our ultimate goal is to give you true, uninterrupted peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾

A typical day

A Typical Day: Adventure, Enrichment & Cozy Snuggles We believe a great day is all about balance! Depending on your pet's age, energy level, and preferences, a typical day with us can look like anything from a grand outdoor adventure to a deeply relaxing couch marathon. Outdoor Adventures: For active pups, we love taking the fun on the road! We offer exciting outings like scenic hikes, beach trips, river dips, or supervised dog park visits. Brain Games & Enrichment: A tired mind is a happy mind. We love keeping pets mentally sharp and engaged with indoor enrichment, including food puzzles, interactive games, and a training exercises to keep pets on their toes (we love playing nosework games with our pups!) Cozy Downtime: For seniors, couch potatoes, or pets winding down after a busy day, we specialize in high-quality cuddles, belly rubs, and plenty of cozy, quiet companionship. Pets wanting a little more quiet can enjoy our "cat cave" (when it's not occupied with kitty boarding clients). No matter your pet's speed, we tailor the day to make sure they are thoroughly exercised, mentally stimulated, and completely loved! 🐾

Pet care experience

🐱 Featuring the "Cat Cave" - A Private, Cage-Free Cat Boarding Room Hi there! We’re Susan and Ian, a married team dedicated to providing a calm, attentive, and highly experienced environment for your furry family members. When you hire us, you get two sets of hands, eyes, and hearts focused entirely on your pet's safety and happiness. Why Choose Us? We aren't just pet lovers; we are experienced, proactive pet parents who understand both the everyday joys and the unexpected challenges of animal care. The Husky Standard: As Husky owners, we know firsthand that consistent training, mental enrichment, and high energy management are non-negotiable. Rescue & Foster Background: Having spent years fostering cats and kittens, we specialize in supporting sick, recovering, shy, or nervous animals. Proactive Safety: We jokes that we have "eyes in the back of our heads." We don't punish or intimidate; instead, we anticipate mischief (like counter-surfing!), remove temptations, and redirect that energy into fun games or enrichment. What We Offer Tailored Care for All Ages: From wiggly kittens and high-energy pups to wise, gentle senior pets. Case-free Cat Boarding: Vacation care for your feline friends in our private, completely cage-free kitty playroom the "cat cave". Check out photos in our profile pics. Specialized Medical & Behavioral Support: Experienced with medication administration and managing reactive or sensitive pets. Reactive Dog Friendly: If your pup needs space, we offer private, secure off-leash playtime at local Sniffspots rather than crowded public parks. Extra Mile Services: Dog walking, training reinforcement, and pet taxi services (vet visits, grooming, or fun outings like hiking or agility classes). 💡 Special requests are always welcome! Whether your pet needs a strict medical schedule or just extra belly rubs, we adapt to their routine. Your pets will receive consistency, mental enrichment, and genuine affection while you’re away. We’d love to meet your furry family members and care for them with the exact same love we give our own. Drop us a message today to chat about your pet's routine! 🐾

Susan has been so wonderful. All of our animals love her including our cats who usually take a few days to warm up to new people were happy to greet her on day 1. I am so glad we found Susan she takes such great care of our pets, providing their daily meds and even carrying our blind pug outside for his potty breaks and the house is always well taken care of. We already have her booked again and will definitely keep booking her for as long as she keeps accepting.

The pups love Ian and Susan! This stay, they got to spend time with Ian and had a blast! Ian is great with our dogs and takes extra care of them and the house…even fixing our garbage disposal while we were away! Thanks for taking such good care of our puppers!
