My dog hates the car, but when we tell her we are headed to Sue’s house she happily trots to the car because she oves Sue as much as we do.

I have been bringing my dog to Sue for several years and can’t see myself boarding him at any other place. He always gets excited at drop off and you can tell there’s a real bond with Sue. Her hours and days are flexible for any kind of travel. I recommend Sue for any family that needs boarding for their dog!
