Home full time. 1500 sq ft to play

Attention to all pet parents! My Name is Suzy I live in Burr Ridge. I am home all day. I have a 1500 sq ft open play area. I have been doing this in the BR area for four years now. I have 20 years experience caring for pets. I have built my clientele although I am still taking new clients. I work seven days a week with dogs and can offer services on holidays as well. I did some renovations recently and now have approximately 1500 sq ft area for running and playtime for my boarding and day care dogs. I will treat your fur baby like my own. I have experience administering medication to dogs. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies. I have experience with Covid/anxiety dogs. I have had a handful of them. I’m a stay at home mom with one older child. Caring for dogs is my full time job. My husband works from home and loves petting the dogs and giving them lots of attention! I have a sweet mini golden doodle that allows me to do this. I can take your dog out every hour or so for bathroom breaks. I do boarding and doggy day care only. I will update you daily and send pictures, and some videos. I will also sit on the deck with your dog since I love the outside. I have a long narrow dog run that’s gated in the front of my home. And a large yard. Dogs can sleep separately, or can sleep close to another dog. I have large play pens for any size dog, the dogs can sleep in there at night, or on the doggie couch, or a dog bed. My back yard has a dog tie cut cable and stake. It’s 30 FT and rope escape proof. To avoid all the foot traffic in my home I do not give tours of my home on my meet and greets, drop offs, and pick ups. There are pictures on Rover of my play area and boarding atmosphere. My hours are M-F 7:30am-7:30pm Saturdays&Sundays 8-9am depending-7:30pm I do not offer drop off or pick up services. I do not accept doberman pinchers, pit bulls, (some pit bull mixes are fine) Mastiffs, Great Pyrenees, and Great Danes, and Bernese Mountain dogs.

We had a wonderful experience with Suzy! This was our first time using her, and she made us feel completely at ease. She sent daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated while we were away. It was clear our dogs were well cared for and getting lots of attention. When we got home, they were calm, happy, and relaxed—a great sign they had been in excellent hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter! Thank you very much!

I like to throw the ball around to the dogs. Play tug of war. I have tons of pet toys and bones. Take walks, they can run and play a lot. If your dog does not want to play or hang with other dogs they are welcome to sit by me.
