I must stop to pet every dog I see.

Pet care experience

A Friendly Reminder….. 2024 observed holidays that carry a modified rate. Holidays Observed: *New Year’s Day – 01/01 *Martin Luther King, Jr Day 01/15 Rosa Parks Day – 02/04 *President’s Day – 02/19 Easter Day – 03/31 *Memorial Day – 05/27 Juneteenth National Independence Day – 06/19 *Independence Day – 07/04 *Labor Day – 09/02 Indigenous Peoples Day – 10/14 Veteran’s Day – 11/11 *Thanksgiving Day 11/28 *Christmas Day 12/25 * holidays indicate ROVER calculated rates – check the Rover App to be certain what those are. Generally it includes a “date range” around the holiday. All other holidays listed are postal holidays we observe. Holiday rate is charged for only the date of the holiday. Rates will be modified before confirmation. And as always, if you have a question or concerns, please drop me a note to discuss. I’m open to feedback. We try to keep our rates reasonable so you can travel and leave your pet without breaking the bank. Plus, we do love to love on your furr-babies. 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 two “dudes” 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.

Sue was great with bandit especially since he has separation anxiety and pretty high energy. She watched him three times and he always appeared happy and playful in her care. I was disappointed that bandit got into the trash after not following my care instructions (to please kennel at all times when unsupervised) during my first booking. However, she was receptive to my feedback, and made sure that he was kenneled appropriately going forward. Sue is very knowledgeable about dog behavior and I would book with her in the future.

Information Suzanne M. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.

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.
