I fall in love with every pet!

Pet care experience

3 years volunteer at Humane Society and Dog Daycare, 4 years providing home pet sitting services. Skilled with training, anxiousness. Dogs reflect back how you are feeling, so important to be loving and calm. Beyond basic needs, they need love and reassurance, play time and cuddle time. Forget the clock how long it may take, all that matters is leaving a calm tired and happy pet until the next visit. I love every single one of my pets, and am blessed to receive so much love from them! I am retired after 25 years in health care and now am doing my true passion. References available, I miss my fur babies who have moved away. I am one person who develops that trust one on one

Sue is an amazing pet caretaker and person. She always put her everything into taking care on my Patches. She always listened to our requests and would do anything to make things convient for our family and pet. Our dog Patches loved going with her and we were so happy to have her available and to know that Patches was getting love and attention. We miss Sue and are sure we will never find another caretaker for Patches that is so dependable loving and helpful! She is a true gem!

Sue is always on time and extremely reliable! She loved our Cocoa like she was her own! She is very conscientious and takes her caregiving responsibilities very seriously. We never worried when we had to be out of town. Sue readily gave us updates and would send sweet pictures. She always went above and beyond. When we had to move away from the area she made a special trip to say goodbye to all of us...especially Cocoa. This was on her own time because it truly is more than a job to her! She loves her clients...especially her fur babies!

A typical day

Walks are important to develop a strong relationship. You need to be on your game depending on each dogs development. Some are easy, some not so, and that's where training comes in and I love it! So important to build the dogs confidence and they trust that I am in control. Lots of praise even for the small things!
