Pet care experience
I pet-sit full-time, so my days are spent creating a fun, safe environment for you pup! They get to have a vacation of their own while you are away. Dogs that have been here before race to our front door, because they love it here :) I have been blessed with the company of dogs my entire life. I worked at a dog kennel during the summers in college where I learned the basics of how to care for others' animals responsibly, and with love & patience. The level of care I provide for your pup goes far beyond that basic standard of care. I provide a "doggy resort" for the pampered pet, which is easy because that's the way I already treat my own dogs. I have two 18lb terrier mixes that are accustomed to dogs coming and going. Barney and Lulu are big snugglers with the dogs we've had, and they enjoy having new friends on their walks. I volunteered at the Nebraska Humane Society where I learned new ways to comfort dogs during their stays in an unfamiliar environment. That includes positive attention, walks, exercise outside, enrichment treats (peanut butter in Kongs), and providing a calm, quiet environment filled with belly rubs where they feel safe. I'll be at home during your dog's stay. If it's necessary to leave your dog alone, it will be less than 2 hours and I'll safely leave them at home in a manner you and I agree is best: whether it be free in the house, closed in the spare bedroom, placed in a 2x3' kennel, or a kennel provided by you. I have Pet CPR/First Aid Certification, and I'm also privately insured with Pet-Sitting Insurance through KennelPro. Your pet will be in safe hands. *A daycare fee of $20 per dog will apply to any boarding dog who has been dropped off in the morning on arrival day, and then picked up after 2pm on departure day.

Always perfect ! Reese Cup loves a Suzy and Kevin !
Louie loves to stay with Suzie and Kevin! It is like his very own vacation. It's fun to see him so comfortable with them and his doggie playmates. It's wonderful to leave town and be at ease knowing he is so well cared for. Thank you both for everything!!!!
Very accommodating and friendly! My dogs had a good time and were well taken care of.
Having just moved to the Omaha area we were very stressed when we had to leave for a business trip. Our 17.5 old girl, ReeseCup needs medicine and is set in her ways. Honestly I think she was happier with Suzy and Kevin than she is with us. Daily updates with pictures were also reassuring. I HIGHLY recommend anyone leaving their beloved dog with them. Price was not a huge issue with us but so much cheaper and a thousand times better than a kennel. I'm sure Reese cannot wait for us to leave again so she can go back and visit.

Information Suzy T. would like to know about your pet
Before your dog's stay, we'll discuss your dog's daily schedule, medical/diet needs, sleeping & eating habits. Bringing your dog's own bed or kennel is comforting for them, but I also have many spare dog beds available. I also have several types kennels if that's what your dog is accustomed to. All dogs are required to be up to date on vaccinations, bordetella (kennel cough) vaccine, and flea & tick prevention. *A daycare fee of $15 per dog will apply to any boarding dog who has been dropped off in the morning on arrival day, and then picked up after 2pm on departure day.
A typical day
Barney & Lulu are considered my family, and any dog in my care is treated with the same love I show mine. Your dog's happiness is my first priority. We enjoy walks around the neighborhood. In the backyard, the dogs can run free in the fenced-in yard, or lounge on the outdoor dog beds. Your dog will have unlimited access to my backyard, under my supervision. My dogs know that the evenings are "treat time" for a Greenie or chew, then they find their spot on the couch for the night.
