Pet care experience

Compassionate Care w 20+yrs Exp

I have been a pet professional for over 20 years. I am a Certified Canine Behavior and Training Specialist with a background as a professional groomer and veterinary technician. I specialize in helping pets feel comfortable while their parents away from home. I provide a comfortable, low stress, company for pets so you can enjoy your vacation. I welcome pets that have been normally turned away, have special medical needs, separation anxiety, high energy or just need a someone that understands them and makes them feel safe while their parents are away. I encourage picture updates and video chatting with pet parents so you can be at ease while your pets stay and play. I keep your pets on their same schedule just as if they were at home. Feeding times, play times, snack times, nap times and more. They are supervised at all times while outside or inside for their safety. I currently work from home and can provide regular care and company for your pets that are accustomed to a working family. They will enjoy good company all night, routine outings, weekend games and enrichment. Routine and safety is key to comfort and success. In my home, pets are integrated as family members. They join in our daily living and care. While on their own home, I try to maintain a lifestyle that they are used to to keep them feeling secure while their parents are vacationing without them.

This was the second time Susanna watched Rocco while I was out of town. She gives amazing updates and makes me feel 100% confident Rocco was taken care of.

Susie took great care of my dog and my dog seemed very happy. She frequently sent pictures of what my dog was doing and made note of any allergies, likes and dislikes. Overall we are really happy with her services.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets are encouraged to take their time to feel comfortable. Because many pets that stay with me have unique situations, I introduce them slowly to my pets and only if they are comfortable. I do not host a doggie daycare.

All breeds, sizes, and ages are welcome in my home. I'm comfortable staying with all breeds. Pets are all individuals just like us. I like to know if they have a favorite treats, fears of storms or favorite games.
