I've taken care of dogs from puppies to senior dogs most of my life. Family and friends have relied on me to walk feed play fetch and care for their dogs while they are on vaction etc. I give them quality care and make them feel loved and happy always.

I couldn't be happier with Susan and her kindness towards our Abigail. Susan is extremely good at communicating and we feel extremely confident with her staying at our place to look after the dog. It's so nice to return from being away and coming home to a stress-free Abigail. I 100% recommend Susan to look after your pooch.

It isn't possible to be happier with a pet sitter than we are with Susan. She came and stayed the night with Abigail, who warmed up to her pretty quickly. It was such a delight to come home to a happy dog. Susan is totally focused on the safety and wellbeing of your pet. She was very good at communicating and sent lots of pics. She is trustworthy and kind, and we've already scheduled her for our next getaway.

I am very impressed with Susan. From contacting her, her questions, openess and professionalism was much more than I ever expected. Our Dottie has alot of energy, and cautious of other dogs. She walked her longer & more times per day, stayed within the sched of Dotties needs, she even played with other dogs @ dog park, she just went way over our expectations. I found she is sweet and understanding with our fur baby. Lots of pics and comments that made us feel secure while we were away. I have another event coming up, so hopefully she will have an open spot for our girl. Thank You, Susan for ALL YOU DO!!!
