Safety, trust & environment

I spend the first 24 hours bonding with your pups. I have a radio fenced yard. All dogs are 100% accompanied outside, leashed. Most dogs bond strongly enough to mosey around the yard and sun themselves on the deck unleashed. Another family member and I play fetch to assure fetchers and zoomies stay in the yard. I NEVER take chances!

Information Susy L. would like to know about your pet

How are they with stairs? How well do they like other dogs and children-we have children dogs next door. Chewing habits? Behavior when parting with owner and ways to comfort? Your house rules - I will follow the same! Comfort with car rides? Medical care.

A typical day

Fetch and zoomies in backyard. No physical fence, but multiple humans play so they can't run off. Most dogs won't after bonding with me! Play any game dog wants, or sit on the couch all day! I knit, which lap dogs love. We are near a beach, which active dogs love! Built in lap-sitting options with an adult child living at home. I maintain training consistent with yours and can informally offer advice for training or working with special needs dogs.

Pet care experience

Specialize in no-bones pups (the floppy ones, seniors, and special needs. **Not taking those who need a long walks during their stay unless emergency** Will take those who love fetch, going to the beach or other enrichment** Already have had quite an array of characters with great success. Excellent with easing anxiety. Years brushing fur, cleaning ears (yuck!) and taking care of teeth. Have nursed wounds, eyes, and minor surgeries until good as new. Already had special guests, including a deaf puppy, an older guy with daily meds, a very itchy fella with medications, and a puppy prone to eat first, ask questions later. Most guests needed at least one good brushing and a few got baths after unexpected muddy romps. All visits were great successes with happy pets and grateful owners! All dogs must have up-to-date medical records and humans must follow current respiratory prevention recommendations when dropping off or picking up.

Suzy was so concerned about my safety and ability to go to a memorial for a friend. When I was late, she was immediatly understanding, in fact, supportive. It was so lucky that I got in touch with her in the first place. . She greeted us with her two dogs, who were so sweet. She made sure the dogs had a proper introduction and gave me confidence that she would be able to handle my very active Australian cattle dog. All went beautifully.

Susy was great with our dog, who is nervous around strangers. She was easy to communicate with and shared detailed updates and pictures of our pup. Would happily book her again!

Susy was fantastic, provided plenty of updates and pictures of my dog during her stay. I keep a Whistle Go on my dog's collar to track her exercise and she received well over the necessary exercise for a young pup. Very happy with our experience and will definitely think of Susy again if we need boarding!
