I ❤️ 🐶 in Oceanview

***MEET AND GREET REQUIRED BEFORE BOOKING** Hello! My name is Suzanne. I adopted my first Beagle on 2007 when I moved to Chicago. He was such a loveable adventure I adopted another Beagle, Lola, when he passed. Lola and I traveled the country for several years working and living in my camper. When Lola passed I wasn't sure I would get another dog but four months later I had my sweet little 14 lbs JoJo. We continued our adventures through Canada to Alaska and back across the country to Virginia where I was born and raised. I purchased a home with a fenced in back yard in December of 22 and have settled here to be near family. I still have the camper but am enjoying the space and full size bathroom of having a home 😉. I work 100% remotely and will be with your pup all day so they will get frequent bathroom breaks and belly rubs. I live within walking distance of the bay and Oceanview dog park. We can take long walks in the evening and enjoy snuggles on the couch. When I do go out in the evening or on weekends I have a video monitor to be able to check in on how your pup is doing and return quickly if there are any problems. I would love to meet you and love your dog when you need to be away. I only take small and medium dogs and only one client at a time. ***MEET AND GREET REQUIRED BEFORE BOOKING** Please note: that daycare rates are for 8 hours maximum. There will be an extra fee for 10 hours and more than that will be considered boarding.

So glad to have Suzanne take care of Dixie while we’re away! I always feel comfortable leaving her, as I know she’s well taken so well taken care of.

Would recommend Suzanne over and over again! She is so great with sending the best pictures and videos. Ace LOVES it there and her dog Jojo is sooo sweet as well. She always sends witty and funny summaries of Ace’s day which I really enjoy reading at the end of the daycare!

Suzanne was wonderful with our dog Marty! She graciously invited us into her home prior to the booking to see where he would stay and made sure her dog and Marty got along. Suzanne gave us frequent updates on him throughout the weekend with photos. We will definitely have Suzanne watch Marty again and highly, highly recommend her!
