Pet care experience

Let me care for your “kid(s)”

I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets (fish & parakeets to horses) since I can remember. There were a few years in college and when I had a job that required lots of travel when I didn’t have a dog. However, my pets are my “kids” & are treated as a family-member. I love providing a safe place for pets while their human(s) are away.

Doggy Day Care • Mar 12, 2026

My little dog loved Susan! The weather was nice enough to go out for several walks during the day and sniff around, one of his favorite pastimes. She has a calm, caring, confident demeanor and my dog took to her right away. Thank you again Susan!

Susan was great in keeping me informed about Maggie while I was away -- providing photos and updates. Maggie looked happy and cared for...always a relief...so grateful.

We have no worries when Susan is boarding Donny. She is conscientious, caring, and keeps us informed daily on how it’s going. We are so grateful to have found her! Thank you, Susan!

Susan did an amazing job watching Grace and making her feel at home. Susan sent updates and made sure to communicate at all times of the day. Grace had a great time playing and going on walks, Susan made sure to accommodate all of Grace's needs and medications. We would definitely book with Susan again!!

Rosie had a great day with Sue! Rosie was comfortable with Sue and seemed perfectly content when we picked her up at the end of the day.

Let me know if there are seperstion anxiety issues as I sometimes do volunteer as a driver for the ACS Ride to Recovery program (usually away <2hrs).

Safety, trust & environment

I do not have a fenced yard but am happy to care for your pet in their home if they prefer being outside & running around a familiar yard; otherwise, I can provide walks on the schedule your pet prefers. Pets are allowed on the furniture & are definitely welcome to sleep on my bed! If car rides are part of their routine, I’m happy to oblige.

A typical day

We’ll play with toys, get belly rubs, practice tricks & commands, go for walks & chase squirrels & rabbits; we can go to a favorite dog park, walk down to the river & enjoy all the smells of wildlife!
