About: Hello! I'm Susu and I would love to care for your pet. I've been caring for animals since a very young age. My family and I would always bring in and care for fosters and strays, along with our own. Learning to train pups at such a young age has made it one of my biggest passions. I understand that every dog is different and it's all about learning who they are. I adapt and adjust to any dogs needs until they are happy and comfortable. Of course playtime is great but I will also inforce balance by having them do tricks and giving rewards. I believe in positive reinforcement and encouraging them to be their best furry selves. I will truly love your pet like my own. I do have a dog of my own named lexus. She is a rescue so she can be a little wary of strangers but is never shy around another furry friend! She has been socialized all of her life and loves to run and play. She understands social cues very well so if the other dog is uninterested in playing she will leave them alone. If Lexus and your dog meet I'm sure they will be best of friends! Whether it's just a walk or they stay a few nights I cant wait to meet your pup! My schedule is very flexible. I am a stay at home mom, photographer, mua and an artist. I am open to last minute scheduling if needed or scheduling something further in advance. Something consistent and on going would be preferred but if it’s just a one time thing that is okay with me as well! For walks we will go on a walk around the block. If needed we will work on not pulling the leash. For a boarding visit I will get them all set up and comfortable in my house. If it’s nice out we will go for a walk and play outside. Playing indoors as well and working on tricks they know or maybe learning a new one. Potty breaks will be provided whenever needed and food will be given as directed.
“Cooper loved being with Ashlyn and was sad each day I had to take him home. She walked him each day and played with him. She sent me pictures and videos of his stay. I will be booking with her for future needs.”
“We had a sudden dinner invitation come up and needed a baby sitter on short notice. Based on previous reviews, I reached out to Mary. She was quick to respond and also flexible with the drop off and pick up time. We were on time, but her attitude made us relaxed and we were not stressed out that we will be late or early by 10-15 mins. Anya had a wonderful time and based on the pictures that Mary sent us, Anya took a liking to her whole family. Seeing how happy Anya was, made it easier for us and we will definitely reach out to Mary for future baby sitting.”
“Ryan was very accommodating and thoughtful as we dropped our dog off for an afternoon. He listened and was engaging as we discussed our pup’s routine. We would go back to Ryan next time we are in the area.”

About: In the last 20 years, I have owned four dogs. I fostered a dog for several months and ended up adopting her. I trained all four - two of which came to me as puppies. I have a flexible schedule as I work from home Monday through Friday. Whether you are opting for a dog sitter during the day or in need of a second home for your pet while you are away, I am willing to pick and drop off your pet. If you are utilizing me for a day sitter, I am happy to have an office companion. We can keep each other company throughout the day! If you are using me for a day sitter or for boarding, I can take your dog for walks or play fetch. We have a large yard on water so if your pup likes to swim that can be accommodated. I have two boys, who are 6 and 7 years old, and a 2 year old cattle dog, who would love to snuggle and play with your dog.
“First time away from my pup—went well—thank you!”
About: I had my own dog for about four years and would love to take him on walks and play fetch, teach him tricks, and run around outside. His name was Rex. He slept with me every night and loved to cuddle! I dogsit for my aunts dog as well.

I also have a cat who lives with my mom right now. I always take care of her if my mom is out of town as well. I used to live with three big dogs and one cat that I would also care for while my roommates were gone. I am currently working as a barista and babysitting sometimes as well. It all really depends, but for the most part I am available to pet sit when needed. When my aunt leaves town, I stay at her house so I am around the dog most of the time unless I go to work.

“I entrusted Katelyn with my 9-year-old English Bulldog and 7-year-old Chocolate Lab for a few days while I was away on a family trip. I was so nervous to leave my babies, and Katelyn was the best sitter I could have asked for. She kept them fed and happy, and sent me several adorable pictures through her stay. My chocolate lab is a rescue and very nervous. My English Bulldog is a grumpy old lady who wants to sleep all day. Even with their personalities, I could tell they truly felt safe and happy with her care. I would highly recommend Katelyn to anyone looking for a quality sitter for their fur babies.”

Olivia is definitely Sophie's favorite human next to my husband and I. Olivia has the biggest heart when it comes to dogs. She went on Search and Rescue Missions after both Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Florence. She was a tremendous asset to the missions and helped save many animals. I cannot think of another person who would be better suited to be a dog caregiver.”
