Animal Lover Extraordinaire

Pet care experience

Let me take care of your beloved pet(s) as if they were my own. I grew up with a love for animals and have been taking care of others’ pets for decades. I have affectionately been called the “dog whisperer” by some. My calm, loving and perceptive demeanor makes me a good fit for pets of all temperaments. I’ve got lots of energy and love to play and walk with even the most energetic pet. If you have a hypoallergenic dog, I would be open to having him/her stay in my home for weekend stays. I’m a medical professional and am certified in (human) CPR and first aid. I’m skilled in working with senior and special needs animals as well as post-operative care. Administering medications is no problem for me. You can feel comfortable with me in your home. I'm very respectful, responsible and conscientious. UPDATE RE: COVID-19: I am well-versed in and follow STRICT COVID guidelines/procedures. I am a healthcare professional and have been adhering to strict precautions since March 2020. I am vaxed and have had the booster shot. I am happy to accommodate your request(s) so that you feel comfortable having me take care of your beloved pet(s). Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. Personal references available on request. I work Monday-Thursday full time so am available for walks and drop-ins on these days. My schedule is most flexible on Fridays and the weekends. If I would care for your pet in my home, it would need to be a hypoallergenic/non-shedding animal (I have a few friends that are allergic to pet hair). Being a medical professional, I value honesty, confidentiality, trust and respect. I honor other's requests for their pets and honor my word to others.

Sue did a tremendous job coming by to let my pup out while I was away. She was very friendly, responsible, and most importantly dependable and conscientious of my dogs needs! My pup looked so happy in the picture updates and am definitely looking forward to working with Sue in the future. HIGHLY recommend!!

Sue did a great job walking my 70 lb lab mix. She was very attentive to any instruction provided and was great communicating before and after her visit. I would recommend Sue and would absolutely use her again.

Information Sue B. would like to know about your pet

What is the pet's preference for meal times, walks, etc.? What is the pet's routine? How is the dog around other dogs and people they don't know? Does the dog need to be kept on a short leash around others? (I always keep a dog on a short leash when approaching other animals and people.) Does the dog(s) prefer walks around the neighborhood, going to a dog park or other places? What is the dog's favorite toy(s)?

A typical day

It's important to keep to a pet's/dog's routine as much as possible especially with regard to meal times and walks. I love playing fetch. My favorite places to walk are in nature whether in the woods, on trails, etc., and walks in the neighborhood are fine, too.
