Information Su L. would like to know about your pet

Care Basics • Feeding: schedule, portions, treats? • Walk/potty times & preferred routes • Litter box/potty clean-up routine Health • Medications & allergies • Vet + emergency contact info Personality • Social habits (with people/animals) • Favorite toys/games • Fears or stress triggers • Commands/words they know Home Notes • Home access, security or lock-up instructions • House rules

A typical day

I like to match activities to each pet’s personality. If your dog’s a ball-chaser, we’ll have fetch marathons or sniffy treasure hunts on our walks. If they love to learn, I’ll throw in short training games for treats. For cats, I bring out their inner panther with wand toys or laser chases. And for the cuddlers—plenty of ear scritches, lap time, and lazy sunbathing together. My goal is for them to have as much fun as you are on your trip.

Plus, with over 400 rare plants at home, I know how to keep your green babies thriving! Why hire me? I go the extra mile—sending real-time updates, adorable pet photos, and detailed check-ins so you’re always in the loop. Reliable, attentive, and respectful of your home, I ensure peace of mind while you travel. Let me care for your pets and plants like they’re my own! 🐶🐱🌿💚

Su is lovely and responsive to the pets. It was a struggle at first to get our bratty little dog to take his meds but she has the process down now!

We hired Susie to visit twice a day for a week to give Cooper his insulin injections while my husband was away, and she exceeded every expectation. Cooper is diabetic, and Susie is the very first person outside of my husband and me to successfully give him his insulin shots. Before finding Susie, we even had a trial with a vet tech, and it was a complete disaster. After three unsuccessful attempts, I ended up giving the injection myself. With Susie, everything went smoothly from the very first visit. What amazed me most was how quickly Cooper warmed up to her. He usually doesn’t trust new people, but he loved Susie right away and actually looked forward to her twice-daily visits. Seeing how excited he was to see her gave me complete peace of mind. Cooper doesn’t do well with boarding because he truly thinks he’s a person and is happiest at home. Susie made him feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and she cared for him as if he were her own. We’re already looking forward to having Susie dog sit Cooper for a longer stay on our next trip. She’ll definitely be our go-to sitter from now on. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, reliable, and who truly treats your pet like family. The fact that she’s also so confident and capable with insulin injections is an incredible bonus. Thank you, Susie, for taking such wonderful care of our sweet boy! ❤️🐾

Su, She was an excellent dog sitter for my senior dog Mischief. She sent photos and videos while on walks with Mischief throughout the weekend. She was very patient because Mischief preferred to nap throughout the weekend. I highly recommend Su.

Su was amazing with our two dogs! She kept them on their routine while we were out of town and sent updates with adorable photos. They were comfortable with her right away and she went out of her way to make each day fun and engaging. We came home to happy and healthy pups. We couldn't have asked for a better Rover. 10/10 recommend!
