“Our pup had a great day with Susan while we were out and about. She was very welcoming and provided lots of updates, including photos and videos. We were very glad to have a safe space for our pet for the day and felt lucky to have found Susan. She was also very understanding and flexible with our plans and went above and beyond.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, cows, and horses. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for animals of different ages, sizes, and needs. Whether it’s keeping a puppy entertained, giving a senior pet extra patience and attention, or simply providing companionship, walks, playtime, and lots of love, I treat every pet like they’re my own. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I have with animals and the care I put into making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and attention based on your pet’s individual needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and rest. I’m respectful of each client’s home and will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are receiving plenty of attention and care while you’re away.

“AJ watched our dog Lola for about 4 hours while our family enjoyed some attractions in the Southern Black Hills. AJ was responsive, accommodated all of our requests. Her property is well suited for dogs. AJ was home the entire time of Lola's stay, and it felt like Lola had a lot of attention during her stay. We'd definitely use AJ again for Doggy Day Care.”

“Susan was great with our dachshund while we visited the Black Hills. We dropped him off each morning and he was so excited when we turned up the drive - because he knew he was going to Susan’s. It is evident that she loves dogs the way she interacted with ours.”

“Loved that she kept me up to date on Delilah. Appreciated Margaret taking the time to take Delilah on a stroller ride and send g me pictures. Most definitely would book her again.”
