Information Susan N. would like to know about your pet

My dogs love to play chase me and wrestle. They’re not super rough players, though! I need to know about any behaviors such as food-guarding or triggering touches.

A typical day

I like to take long morning walks followed by food/water and rest. Plenty of outside time playing fetch or chase in the afternoons and cuddles as needed!

Susan was fantastic with Zeus, I could really tell it from the pics she sent to me during my pet’s stay with her. We already booked her again for a summer stay!

Susan and her family were wonderful hosts to my pup, Buddy :) I appreciated all the pictures and updates so much and communication was always very easy! The whole family (fur babies included) were so kind and made Buddy feel right at home. Can’t recommend Susan highly enough!

Thank you so much to Susan and her family for taking such wonderful care of Miley for six days. She had a great time and was clearly loved and well cared for. Susan kept me updated throughout the stay and sent me pictures, which meant so much to me—especially since this was the first time I ever left my baby. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such amazing hands. This definitely won’t be the last time. Highly recommend this amazing family!
