Stay-Home Doggy Mom 4 Your Fur-Baby
Pet care experience
I treat all my furry friends as family, so rest assured...when your babies are in my care, they will be loved and cherished. They will also listen and be respectful, as my pet-care style is "Calm Assertive" (ref. "The Dog Whisperer"). What this means is that in your absence, your pets will obey the rules you put in place for their protection and for the care of your home. I have experience with many sizes and breeds, from tiny Miki's and Chihuahuas to large Dobermans and Great Danes. I'm a "rescue-Mom", who loved a Golden/Collie/Chow mix for every day of his 16 1/2 years with me, and was there when he took his final breath. My current buddy is a 6 year old spunky Australian Shepherd, so trust me when I tell you I can handle everything from calm to active athletic! I'm sure there are many on this forum who love and cherish dogs and cats, but my advice is to select someone who is mature, active, loves exercise (and believes fiercely that a well-behaved pet is well-exercised!), and knows how to keep your pets safe and happy, by following the rules you put in place for their well-being. I'm a real estate investor who works from home, so my time is completely flexible and we can work out whatever schedule works best for you. I routinely walk 2-3 large dogs at the same time, and do drop-ins on families with a house full of dogs! What are you waiting for? Send me a message, and get some great pet-loving!!! :)
Reviews
Suzanne was amazing. She took great care of our two pups and they bonded with her immediately. She kept us updated the entire time so I knew they were doing just fine without us. It was also nice knowing the pups didn’t have to leave the comfort of home and Suzanne was there to take care of things for us while we were away enjoying ourselves.
Suzanne was delightful and a pleasure to work with.She kept us updated on a very regular basis and frequently sent pictures of our dog . Don’t think we ever want to go back to a large boarding kennel situation again.
I was in town for my mom's 80th birthday party and needed a place to leave my 8 month old puppy while I took my mom shopping for the day. Suzanne was available and I'm so glad I took Sunny to her and her mom. I was worried with Sunny being a puppy she would break or chew something but Suzanne and her mom both assured me that there was nothing she could hurt. Sunny went out to the fenced backyard and after a couple minutes of sniffing started playing with Jake like she lived there. They went on a walk to the park and Suzanne sent lots of pictures. Sunny was a happy tired dog when I picked her up. Suzanne and her mom both came out to my car and spoke to my mom and told her happy birthday. They are both very nice and I would absolutely bring Sunny back. I just wish they lived closer to me!
Suzanne and her mother are lovely. They were quite accommodating with my schedule and showed great care for my pup. I will use them again for doggie daycare!

A typical day
I'm fortunate to live in a super pet-friendly neighborhood! All my furry friends get to enjoy boundless walks and hikes, with lots of forested areas and a great park nearby. There's also a designated doggy park within a short driving distance, complete with agility devices. In short, there is no lack of excitement and engagement for your precious pet when staying with "Aunt Suzanne".
