Loving Care You Can Trust

I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years, and one thing I’ve learned is that every dog is different. Some love to play and make new friends, some want to follow you everywhere, and some are happiest curled up somewhere quiet taking a nap. I love getting to know each dog and learning what makes them feel happy and comfortable. I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I understand that being away from home can be stressful, especially for dogs who are shy or very attached to their families. I always give them time to settle in and never force them to socialize if they don’t want to. I truly love having dogs around me. While they’re here, they become part of our everyday life and are treated with patience, attention, affection, and lots of love.

Thank you Suzhen! We’ve had very good experiences with Suzhen boarding our dear pet family. It’s been both easy and convenient. Suzhen sends photo and video images of how our are dogs are doing. We’ve booked Suzhen 4 times and each time everything has gone well! Ken & Tammy

Suzhen took wonderful care of my dog while I was away. She went above and beyond by sending multiple photos and video updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. She made sure my dog got daily walks, plenty of exercise, and lots of love and attention. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I would absolutely trust Suzhen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter!

Suzhen was amazing with Toast. She updated us with his pictures and videos constantly throughout the day which kept our mind at ease. Will definitely be requesting her again to take care of him the next time!

Our dog spent a week with Suzhen and he was well taken care of. She is easy to communicate with and sent photos and videos of him daily. It was his first time to stay with her, and she took the time to ask questions about him prior to his stay to make sure she would be able to meet his needs which I really appreciated.

Schedule

I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home most of the day and have plenty of time to give your pup love, attention, and companionship. I enjoy having dogs as part of my life—giving them cuddles and belly rubs, playing with them, talking to them, relaxing together on the couch.

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a house with a spacious, fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy fresh air, explore, play, or just relax in the sunshine. Inside, they have plenty of comfortable places to rest and be close to us. Some dogs love having friends to play with, while others are much happier having their own peaceful space—and that’s completely okay! If your dog prefers more privacy or quiet time, I can provide a separate comfortable area just for them. My goal is simple: I want your dog to feel like this is their second home while you’re away—a place where they can relax, play, get lots of attention, and most importantly, feel safe and loved.

A typical day

I want your dog’s stay to feel more like a little vacation than boarding. ❤️ Our days are a mix of walks, backyard time, play, naps, cuddles, and just hanging out together at home. Dogs can enjoy our fenced backyard for fresh air, potty breaks, exploring, or playtime, and come inside whenever they’re ready to relax. Daily walks are part of our routine too! I adjust the length and pace based on each dog’s age, energy level, and physical condition. An energetic pup may enjoy a longer walk and extra playtime, while a senior or lower-energy dog may prefer a slow, relaxing stroll. And of course, I know you’ll miss them! I’ll send photos and updates so you can see how your pup is doing and know they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love.

Before your dog comes to stay, I’d love to learn a little about them! ❤️ Please tell me about their personality, daily routine, feeding and sleeping habits, and anything that makes them feel happy and comfortable. I’d also like to know about any health concerns, medications, allergies, special needs, separation anxiety, or behaviors I should be aware of. Please let me know how your dog usually does around other dogs and children. For the health and safety of all our guests, dogs should be up-to-date on vaccinations and current on flea/tick prevention. The more I know about your pup, the easier it is for me to help them feel right at home.
