About Suzanne B.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I make sure the dogs are leashed for walks and my fence is checked regularly for ground/fence gaps and holes. Floors are kept clutter-free for dogs that eat non-food items. All dogs are socialized carefully with my dog, as well as other guest pups, and accommodations are made for personality conflicts if needed. Dogs are generally kept in constant human company. For the times your pup cannot be supervised (grocery trips, etc.), they will be crated in an exceedingly safe and comfortable crate. Safety is a priority.
Home
Information Suzanne B. would like to know about your pet
It's great to let me know ahead of time if your dog has any interesting behaviors, like chewing on grass or eating inedible things, especially clothing items. Please be truthful about marking. This is a home, not a concrete kennel that can be hosed down. If you believe there is any chance your dog will mark, please provide them with a belly band or discuss the need for a belly band with me.
A typical day
Early morning potty outings, playing ball in the fenced yard, walks around the neighborhood, and relaxing. Whatever the dog needs or wants, we will do. A typical day starts at around 6:30/7am. We start with a potty outing and then come in and it's breakfast time. Of course, your pup will need to potty afterward, as well. While we're outside, it's time to throw a ball or stick around for a while. On a nice day, we'll probably spend most of the day outside. (When I see a pup is getting tired, we can go inside to the kennel area and they can nap or relax with some snuggles.) Around 5, it's time for dinner, followed by some more outside time. Pups are usually tired around 8 pm, so it's time for bed. Crate-trained pups will retire to their designated crate and bed sleepers will go to bed. If there are any nighttime needs, they will be tended to.

Fenced Yard- Home Away From Home!
Pet care experience
I'm a mother of human kids, and the mom of a 14-year-old pup, a kitty, and some cute-as-buttons guinea pigs. We are a home of non-smoking, very caring, animal lovers. Your pup (or other pet) will be safe and very much loved during their boarding stay! Here, Fido will have the run of a nearly 0.5 acre yard that's surrounded by a sturdy 5-foot fence for their safety. Inside our home, they will be welcomed as part of our family!
Reviews
Suzanne took great care of Zoe and kept us updated with pictures throughout our trip.
Leaving your dog for a couple of nights can be stressful, especially when your dog is your soul dog, but Suzanne made the entire experience so easy. From the moment Yarrow arrived, I could tell she was in great hands. I honestly think Yarrow believed she was on her own little vacation lol. She absolutely adored Suzanne, her wonderful kids, and the other dogs. Every update showed a happy, relaxed dog living her best life. One of the things I appreciated most was Suzanne’s communication. She sent updates, pictures, and little stories that made me smile and let me know exactly how Yarrow was doing. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog as if they’re her own, look no further. Five stars simply aren’t enough. I’d give 10 stars if I could!
Suzanne is wonderful! She always taking the best care of my dog and is so kind.
Another great stay for my 2 pups with Suzanne. Both always come back to me healthy and happy and well looked after. Even my shy guy has no problem going right into the yard, and that is the biggest vote of confidence there is. Plus plenty of updates so I get to see them when I am gone.
