Susan genuinely cares about the pets she watches and gave our kitty, Ginger more love and attention with each visit than we could have wished for. I highly recommend her for pet care, especially for drop-in visits. She’s in a class all her own and will be our go-to provider forever.

About: I’m not just a sitter, I’m a full-time pet parent. My husband and I have two rescue dogs that we’ve raised and cared for over the past 6 years, starting from puppyhood. We’ve gone through training, learned how to handle different behaviors and built a home that revolves around happy, well cared for pets, including two rescue cats. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own pack, whether that means sticking to their routine, giving them extra patience, or making sure they get plenty of love and attention. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work in real estate, which gives me a flexible schedule and as a mom of two (less furry babies), I’m already used to planning my day around care, consistency and routines. That means I’m able to prioritize walks, drop ins, and check ins throughout the day. I’m often out and about locally, so it’s easy for me to incorporate visits and give pets the attention they need at consistent times. I always follow each pet owner’s lead when it comes to care. Every pet has their own routine, preferences and personality, so I take the time to listen carefully and stick as closely as possible to what they’re used to. In my home, pets are welcomed into a loving environment. We live in a quiet cul-de-sac neighborhood, which is great for safe, low-traffic walks and a more relaxed setting. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings.

Meg has checked in on my almost 4 month old Boxer puppy, Tide, a few times now and I have nothing but good things to say. She has been on time and provides thorough details about each visit. I love that I don’t have to worry about leaving Tide alone all day and it’s great not coming home to any accidents. Meg is very sweet and knows what she’s doing, I definitely recommend her services.

Thank you Julie for caring for our 3 cats. They were well fed, litter was cleaned, and everything was in good shape when we returned, their messes cleaned up, which we’re grateful for. We had a small hiccup in the beginning, but then she did make things right.
