I love dogs and want to help
Pet care experience
I have raised dogs from pups to seniors for over 20 years. The joy they bring is unmatched. I look forward to interacting with your beloved pets. I have a very flexible schedule so I am able to fit a variety of times and locations. I will work with you to establish the service that meets your individual needs. I can follow your routines and instructions to take care of your pet in your home just as you want. I understand that they are members of your family and will treat them as such.
Reviews
Susan is the best. Our dog loves her. I trust her completely.
Susan is very kind and patient and understanding. She was very communicative and took great care of our dog while we were away! Will definitely be rebooking Susan!
Susan neglected our 5 month and 8 year old dogs while they were in her care. Our care instructions, such as how often they need access to the yard to potty and what and when to feed them, were not remotely followed. For example, in the first evening, both dogs were kept inside for 14 hours straight when the care instructions said 8 hours maximum, resulting in a massive mess in the living room that was barely addressed. And they went through 3xs the amount of food they are supposed to have, which most likely added to the mess in the living room. Additionally, she left the door to the backyard wide open for 3+ hours as a way to give them access after the first big mess, but didn't actually monitor them, as she retreated to the second floor and later verbally stated she didn't know where the 8 year old was. She also called both of them names and scolded the puppy for being a puppy. My dogs were left to their own devices and my house was left unsecured. We know all of this because it was recorded on our home security system, but would have suspected anyway because our dogs were not okay when we returned. We left two house-trained and secure dogs in Susan's care. It took 3 weeks to retrain the puppy, and still, over 7 weeks after this experience, neither dog feels secure being left alone in the house long enough to run errands. We will not be having Susan back, and recommend that if you choose to, you monitor your home from away and have a backup plans.
Susan did a fantastic job with Vito. She gave updates on status and left everything clean. I can see why she has repeat clients and will definitely be reaching out her again!

It is important to know what your dog enjoys on a walk. Do they like to explore and have all the sniffs? Any concerns I should be aware of? Do you allow strangers to pet your dog? How are they when we encounter other dogs while we are out? How long do you typically walk?
A typical day
I love to be outdoors. It is best with a companion pet. I love to explore local neighborhoods and parks. I enjoy both long and short walks. Whatever is best for your pet.
