About Susan

*Only taking bookings from existing clients until further notice*

Registered as a Home Boarding and Dog Daycare with City of Greater Geelong.

After an extensive career in animal care during which I worked with domestic animals of all sorts as well as native wildlife, I am now offering professional standard care for your pets in my home. I limit my bookings so you can rest assured your pet's comfort and care will never be compromised by overcrowding. I have a current police check for clients requiring me to do home visits.

In 

my home your pets will be welcome inside and out. Outside I have a large grassy yard with a timber cubby for shelter, an undercover paved area complete with stretcher beds and kennels, and live on a quiet street opposite a riverside walking track. I have a plentiful supply of food puzzle and sensory enrichment toys for your pets to choose from while they are here. I work from home so I'm here all day if you need someone to be with your dog during thunderstorms, if they have high medical needs, or if they need to be kept quiet after surgery. Inside I have air conditioning, and if your pet is allowed on the furniture at home they will be allowed on the furniture here.

I do require your pets to be microchipped, vaccinated, and up to date with flea and worm treatments as required by the Code of Practice. I only accept dogs that have been de-sexed.

**Please Note: While dogs of all sizes are accepted, due to the ageing of my own dogs the decision has been made to limit new clients to quieter dogs, and only small breed puppies.

Only dogs that are de-sexed are accepted.

This is the third time I have left my 2 dogs with Susan, and I know I can do so with confidence that they will be in the best of care. Always happy with the service Susan provides.
