Our dog is a special needs dog that is timid and frightful. Susannah provided dedicated, personalized care and oversight. We are lucky to have found this sitter.

Susannah and Richard are our go to sitters for Cosmo when we need to board him. They ensure he gets plenty of walks and attention and are attentive to his elder needs.

Susannah and Rich are the absolute best! They love on our dog like he is their own. They are super communicative and I trust them fully with our fur baby.

Information Susannah & Richard D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any stressors that cause a big reaction (dogs barking, prey drive on walks, delivery drivers, etc). It is helpful to know in advance.

A typical day

I start the day with a long walk on a nearby fire road, along with any play (such as throwing the ball) to get a thorough exercise. There are brief walks and play moments throughout the day, then another good walk in the late afternoon/early evening. We use 4 different routes in different open space and neighborhood areas.
