It is so hard to leave your bff behind! Susan is reliable, caring and my dog adored her from the first moment they met. She sent updates throughout our time away and the best photos! I know how hard it to find a sitter, trusting that they take care as you would…. so grateful we found Susan!

Susan was awesome! Kaiya and Gadget loved her! Kaiya misses her still. Left the house the way she found it, and even was willing to look after our bearded dragon and leopard gecko! 10/10 will use again!
