I work from home so I have lots of time to provide walks and play time. My dog loves friends so she'll be happy to play. My 10 & 12 year old kids also love playing with furry friends.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a dog door and a fully fenced backyard, so they can run in and out all day. I like to walk around our neighborhood, or go to Minto-brown dog park if your dog is experienced with that environment. I can rotate crates and areas of the house if fur friends aren't feeling up for playtime or just need some space.

Information Suzanne J. would like to know about your pet

Zelda gets along well with all dogs, she’s more timid and submissive than most. Our cats prefer to be ignored, but both love Zelda and may warm up to other dogs depending on length of stay and temperament.

A typical day

We’ll take walks around the neighborhood allowing for lots of sniffing time. They can run around in the backyard. Any that are used to minto brown will join us there for fetch and socialization. If they're very active, have a life vest and good recall, we can visit the river for some swim time!

Pet care experience

I've cared for many dogs, cats and chickens for more than 20 years. For boarding, we welcome dogs, scaly friends and feathery friends. We currently have one dog and two cats who love having friends over to play! I work from home so I have lots of time to give your pets attention while you're away. We love going on walks and to the dog park. I've given my pets shots and medication, so I can do the same for yours if needed. For drop in visits I'd love to check in on your cats or other animals.

If you're looking for a loving home away from home for your dog, Suzanne's home is the perfect spot! She has a natural gift with animals, and all creatures gravitate to her warmth and kindness. She has cared for my pups numerous times over the years, she’s experienced, trustworthy, and truly dedicated to every animal's well-being. Her huge, secure yard is perfect for dogs to run, play, and explore, and with her playful spirit and nurturing touch, your dog will feel right at home. Suzanne will give your dog all the love, attention, and care they could ask for!
