I work from home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches — they’ll get plenty of company, attention, and bathroom/play breaks built right into my day. Pet care isn’t an interruption to my routine, it’s part of it.

Your dog will get long walks through my beautiful neighborhood, plus supervised outdoor time tethered out front alongside my pug (my yard is unfenced, so all outdoor time is supervised). I’m happy to crate your pet if you provide one, and I’ll keep them on whatever feeding and routine schedule they’re used to at home.

Information Suzanne D. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any special needs kindly let me know up front so that I can determine if I can accommodate them. We thrive on routine at my house so just let me know what yours is!

A typical day

My pug Bosco loves to play after each meal and he will happily share his toys. Plenty of walks throughout the day plus tether time out front where the pups can watch the world go by. If your dog isn’t up for play, lounging suits us fine as well!

Pet care experience

I’ve owned dogs most of my life and consistently for the past 11 years — small or large, puppy or senior, I love them all. My own pets thrive on routine, so your dog will get consistent walks, feeding times, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I currently share my home with a pug and an 18-year-old cat, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and energy levels. Pug mom + cat whisperer offering a loving, low-key place to stay

Suzanne has been wonderful for Prince. She is timely, energetic, and takes him on long walks. It's very helpful knowing someone who cares about dogs is in my neighborhood.

Whoever comes across this. It’s your lucky day! I can not express how amazing Suzanne is with our dog and cat. Not only does she love our fur babies, they are obsessed with her! Anytime we are out of town, Suzanne literally sends us videos, texts, shows us so much attention as she does to our dog and cat. If you’re looking for someone with full confidence with your animals and will give nothing but love, attention, always there if you need ANYTHING! Look no further. You found your perfect animal lover
