Pet care experience

Family FURst. Experienced Reliable

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!

Wister had a great time with Susan! We got regular updates and our anxious dog felt right at home (including taking over their bed 🤣).

Boarding • Aug 09, 2026

Our dog had a fantastic 11 night boarding experience with Susan and her family. We scrambled to find someone last minute after our original sitter (family member) was no longer able to sit due to a medical emergency. We are so thankful to have found Susan! We started with a meet and greet and from the get-go, we knew our dog had found her second family. Their dog Dyson quickly became her new bestie! Our dog came home happy and exhausted, which is very difficult to do because she always has so much energy. Susan sent us frequent updates and adorable photos during our trip which we loved. 100% would recommend Susan if you're looking for someone to love and care for your pet like their own. :)

Susan did a fantastic job caring for our two dogs while we were out of town for a week. She was thoughtful, understanding and absolutely wonderful with our dogs. She was very detail oriented, had lots of questions for us about how to best care for the dogs and communicated with us regularly. I would highly recommend her to anyone and will seek her services again if we need them.

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.

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.
