Pet care experience

I’d love to help with your animals!

I volunteered at the Animal Rescue League for several years. I have worked with dogs and cats and other small animals. I grew up with dogs and cats and birds. I have pet sat for years, and I’d love to help with your furry friends too. I will love your furry family members like they’re my own. I will take the time to introduce myself and let them come to me. I will never force an interaction. But I will play with them as much as they want. I would love to take pictures and videos of your pet to send you while you are away so you can know that your animals are still happy and healthy and well cared for. Just let me know what you would like. Please let me know how I can help make your time away easier.

Sue did a fantastic job of taking care of my cats while I was away! She sent frequent updates, giving me peace of mind that they were happy and well cared for. She obviously had a way with them, as they were more trusting and open with her than they’ve ever been with previous sitters. I would absolutely recommend Sue as a pet sitter and will definitely hire her again.

Sue is wonderful! She has watched our cats a couple of times now and has won them over ❤️ It is really nice to know that you're leaving your pets with someone that genuinely cares. Thanks Sue!

This was my first time looking for a sitter and I am a first time pet owner so you can imagine the worries of making sure you found a good sitter! Sue was the first and only sitter i got in touch with! She is extremely friendly, and a great communicator, I even did a pre-trip visit with my cat bento to where he would be staying with her! After leaving bento with Sue for over a week, it is safe to say that Sue is the best at what she does, I would never look for another sitter again!

Sue is a true gem! Leaving Buddy in her care was the best decision we made for our furry friend. Her genuine love for animals and dedication to their well-being is unmatched. From daily walks to constant updates, she treated Buddy like her own. The seamless communication and punctuality were icing on the cake. Buddy didn't just have a sitter; he gained a second home. Sue deserves all the stars in the sky for her exceptional service!

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have found an exceptional pet sitter like Sue. Her impeccable care for my beloved cat, Diane, has been nothing short of outstanding. From the moment I entrusted her with the responsibility, she has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure Diane's wellbeing. One of the standout qualities that immediately struck me about Sue is her unwavering reliability. I can always count on her to be punctual and attentive. Whether it's feeding Diane accurately or adhering to a specific schedule, she does it with utmost precision and care. What truly sets Sue apart is her genuine love and compassion for animals. She has formed a strong bond with Diane and it warms my heart to see how well they connect. Sue provides Diane with the attention and affection that only enhances the overall experience. Knowing that Diane is in such loving hands puts my mind at ease. Aside from the exceptional care she offers, Sue is incredibly trustworthy. I have complete peace of mind knowing that Diane is safe and secure under her watchful eye. Her level of commitment and dedication is truly commendable – I couldn't ask for a more reliable and caring pet sitter. In addition to Sue's exceptional care for my cat Diane, her thoughtfulness and excellent communication skills truly set her apart. Sue goes above and beyond by providing me with regular updates and videos of Diane. It's heartwarming to see their interaction and the bond they have formed. These videos provide me with reassurance and a sense of connection, especially when I'm away from home. Moreover, Sue's communication skills are superb. She is prompt in responding to any questions or concerns I may have, and she keeps me informed about Diane's activities, eating habits, and overall well-being. Her detailed updates give me peace of mind, knowing that Diane is in good hands and receiving the best care possible.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a condo now, but it’s a great neighborhood with great walking trails and green spaces. It’s a great place for walks. Lots of dogs nearby too so lots of interesting smell options on the walks.

Pets

A typical day

Because my neighborhood has great walking trails, we will usually start with a good long walk. There are a lot of dogs in the neighborhood and so there will be a lot of interesting smells to smell. Dogs love this neighborhood. I also have a great large shared common area with lots of grass to run and play.
