Information Susan T. would like to know about your pet

Just their general temperament...their likes and dislikes...anything that makes them feel more comfortable and secure, and makes their stay with me something to look forward to..

A typical day

I am happy to take dogs for long walks, cuddle with them, play games, give treats. My dog guests live in my home with me, just as my own dogs would. If they have any special activities they love, I'd like to know, so we can hopefully include those activities in their day..

Pet care experience

I am a lifelong rescuer of dogs and cats...I have raised puppies, adopted senior dogs, and adopted six dogs from shelters in the last 25 years. Most of my dogs and I had basic training classes together. I love walking dogs, playing with them, and caring for them in general...and i am excellent at bathing and medicating pups of all ages....even the reluctant ones! I like to be outdoors, so I am happy to walk and play with the dogs in my care outside at least 3 times a day..

Susan kept in touch with me on my dog's first day care try. My dog did not get along with the other dog, so she kept them separated until I could get there to pick my dog up. Susan was very patient with him and kept him company. The problem was my dog and I will contact her again for a solo stay.

This is the second time we have used Susan and she is great! Always very responsive and our dogs who can be nervous with other people have warmed to her very quickly.

Susan was very sweet and accommodating. She took a last minute reservation and was very nice to Dobby!
