Availability

I am semi-retired and devote most of my time to my dogs and my gardens. I own my own home and have a large, private, fenced in yard that abuts a few acres of woods and farmland. It is a safe and wonderful place for any dog to explore. I can devote uninterrupted time to your pup and there is plenty of time for walks in the neighborhood, lazy days in the yard and exploring.

Daily activities vary depending on the age and health of your dog. They can include walks in the neighborhood, playtime in the yard and of course lots of snuggle time for everyone.

Pet care experience

I am a lifelong lover of animals with over 30 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. Throughout the years, I have worked with The Chi Society of Glastonbury, CT, the Humane Society of Newington, CT and most recently Vintage Pet Rescue in RI as a foster and adopter of animals. The experience of adopting and caring for animals has given me the insight, compassion and understanding needed to help any dog feel safe and welcome in my home. I have a great deal of experience caring for senior dogs and the health issues that come with an aging animal and I welcome dogs of any age. I know how difficult it is to leave a pet, especially an older one, in someone's care when you have to travel and having a safe, calm place for them to stay means everything.

Susan is probably one of the most trusted people we’ve met on Rover so far! She kept us in the loop and sent pictures during our dog’s stay! I would 100% recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy experience. Thanks again! :)

I have boarded my dogs with Susan several times now. It’s always the same great experience, extremely positive . Susan is very caring and attentive with my dogs. My current dog is comfortable and happy with Susan, which makes me relaxed. I would definitely recommend Susan.
