Safety, trust & environment

We treat yours like ours - like Family! Your pet's comfort and happiness is most important. Once we get to know each other, we can have nice walks with some play and/or snuggle time - whatever they need! We only take one pet at a time for in-home services like boarding and doggie daycare and integrate them into our home. We even have a doggie door into a fenced yard but I prefer to do potty breaks/ walks as needed. I'm comfortable administering medications as prescribed and understand that every dog come with their own routine and special needs.

Pet care experience

It's a family affair and we treat yours like ours. As a family, we've been fostering rescue puppies and dogs for more than 18 years, providing care, training, medical support and, of course, lots of love. Whether you need a last-minute pop in for a potty break and snuggle, a walk with some basic leash training, or a week-long sitter, we can help. Someone is always around and working from home between mom, dad or our 2 college students so even last minute "going to happy hour" requests can be accommodated. We would love to meet you and your furry family!

Mili had a great time with Susan! Mili connected with Susan from the first introduction. Susan made everything go very smoothly. She has years of experience and knows her way into pets hearts.

Susan is one of the most responsible and compassionate dog caregivers I know. She has a natural “dog whisperer” way about her and treats every pet as if it were her own. She’s calm, attentive, and experienced through years of fostering and caring for dogs with different needs and personalities. I would trust her with any pet without hesitation.
