Stay in a home, not a kennel!
Pet care experience
The name of my business is M.O.M. ("My Other Mom"). We missed our dog when he died and I started boarding pets. When dogs are staying at the house, I am with them all day and they are given as much attention and exercise as they require, at least two long walks and shorter ones as needed. They like to play and poke around the fenced yard, and we live on a quiet street right next to woods and trails. I ask owners alot of questions about their dogs' needs — for instance whether they can go off-leash, the diet and treats policy, medical and behavioral issues, and assessment of the dogs’ compatibility with each other. Usually I will take up to three at a time.
Reviews
Susan was great! Flexible and easy to communicate with. Max was happy! We will definitely ask Susan to host Max again:)
We were very happy with Susan! She was easy to communicate with and did a great job watching Sophie.
Sophie was well taken care of during her evening stay with Susan - and Susan was able to take the reservation even last minute. So appreciated!
Auggie had a great time with Susan. Susan is a great communicator and sent pictures often so we knew how Auggie was. We can’t wait to leave Auggie with Susan again and it’s so comforting to have a true dog lover take care of ours.

I will only take a dogs that are housebroken. Because it is a home, I cannot take dogs that chew property (like reading glasses, shoes, and lamp wires). I love all the breeds.
A typical day
At least 2 major walks a day in woods or parks, plus shorter walks, rides, playing in the house and yard. Have toys, congs, leashes, food and water dishes.

I am currently retired and have a flexible schedule. Will remain with pet at all times including in the yard, unless I have to drive somewhere and have to leave pet in a heated car. Will not engage in activities that involve leaving dog home for a long time.
