Highlights
Pet care experience
I must stop to pet every dog I see.
I’m not just “a dog person”, I love dogs. I’ve had a dog my entire life. I know that raising a good dog is just like raising a good adult; set boundaries, be firm but give lots of love. Never met a dog I didn’t like. Your pet will not be “wrecked” when they return to you. They’ll have a chance to be socialized w/ my three “oldies squad” and will get the attention and love you’d give them. I really love dogs. Did I mention that already. If they’re at my home, they will enjoy some space to adventure in a fenced yard. We’ll take hikes in the hills and walks in the neighborhood. And everyone in the house loves a good evening snuggle while we watch a bit of TV. Just let me know your furry friends routine, so we can all be successful while they stay.

Ratings and reviews
Suzanne has taken care of Cupcake for us many times, and she has been wonderful every single time. She is incredibly reliable, responsible, and caring, and we always have complete peace of mind knowing Cupcake is in her hands. Cupcake knows her well and is always happy to see her, which means so much to us. We really appreciate all the updates, photos, and the consistent care she gives Cupcake. We feel very lucky to have someone we can trust so much to look after her. Highly recommend Suzanne! ❤️🐾
Suzanne was great! My girls are shy and by the end of the booking one of my cats was already in her lap. She was thorough and very communicative. Definitely recommend!
Suzanne accepted our request on a very short notice. Boomer had such a lovely time with her pets that he was not ready to head back home 😊. She kept us updated with photos of our pet boomer. Overall very nice host.
Suzanne has watched our pup over a dozen times, and we know he is always in good hands when he stays with her! She takes care of our dog like he is her own, and also makes sure he has a stimulating and enriching stay. We’re so grateful for Suzanne and cannot recommend her enough.
Suzanne did a great job caring for Finn.
Suzanne is great with our kids (2 middle aged abyssians who want to be kids again).

Schedule
Our furry guest are incorporated into our daily schedule. Morning walks, mid-day adventures and evening before bed-time "poo" strolls. If I am not home (a Costco run can take three hours), we crate all the dogs. If I'm gone for more than four hours, I have my neighbor come over to hang-out with everyone while they play in the yard.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced yard and lots of rabbits and squirrels to chase. Because we have a pool, the dogs are not left alone outside - ever.
Pets
A typical day
Adventures hiking the PV preserve trails. Evening neighborhood walks. And, if our borrowed pals like a good run, we have two very friendly neighbor dogs that LOVE to run with our boarded guests.

- Allergies? Do they get along with other dogs? We have a pool, are they swimmers? Because we live surrounded by the PVPLC preserves, we have lots of nature, that means rabbits, raccoons, opossums, fox and coyotes. We keep the animals inside when it gets dark, which helps keep them safe. Is your dog “house-trained”? We are a "crate-trained" house, so all the dogs are crated when we need to leave for errands. We board only pooches that are also crate trained. We limit overnight boarding to dogs over 2-years old. We’ve found that, although adorable, the younger pooches just need a bit more time to grow and develop to be part of our small home.
