Pet care experience

Animal Lover!

I have taken care of and befriended many breeds of cats for more than 20 years. I also get along very well with dogs and just love going for walks with them. I have been a Pet Sitter, Caregiver and Nanny my entire adult life, and just cannot imagine a life without pets. I really connect and communicate with animals well, and get along with all types of cats and dogs, even rodents. I am also a Military Vet, so safety comes first for me. I will keep your pet and home safe and secure. I will also clean and straighten up after them, per your instructions.

Safety, trust & environment

I will enter quietly at first, as to not startle your pets. Then will call out their name softly to get their attention. I will first focus on them and making sure they are comfortable with my presence. Then will start working on the tasks you have given me. I will always be sure to give your pet plenty of love and attention, as they will be missing you while you're away. I can feed, bathe, groom, pet, play, go for walks, even administer Insulin and subcutaneous fluids, anything your pet requires. In the end, I will be sure to clean up and lock up property.

Dog Walking • Jul 18, 2026

I cannot recommend Susan highly enough! I needed a last-minute dog walker on the exact same day due to an unexpected injury, and she stepped up without hesitation. My dog is incredibly anxious, especially around other dogs so I am always nervous leaving him with someone new. She meticulously followed every single instruction I left and gave him the exact specialized care and patience he needed. She even spent extra time on their walks just to snuggle and comfort him. The updates she sent were phenomenal. She went completely above and beyond by sending photos, videos, and even detailed tracking (including potty updates!), which gave me total peace of mind while I was laid up. After every walk, my dog came back perfectly tired out and would nap peacefully for hours. Now that I’ve recovered and am back to walking him myself, my pooch clearly misses her! If you are looking for a walker who is reliable, incredibly attentive, and genuinely loves animals, look no further. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

House Sitting • Jun 30, 2026

Susan genuinely loves animals and devoted a lot of time to my pets. However, this experience wasn’t right the right fit for me. I left detailed care instructions but during my booking, she made decisions without consulting me.. I also discovered a number of issues after returning home that had not been communicated while I was away. Because of my senior pets’ medical needs, I realized I need a sitter who follows instructions rather than making independent care decisions. Because of these concerns, I would not book Susan again, although I really do appreciate the time and care she gave my pets and house plants

Susan cares about your pets and will take good care of your place. She accepts ad-hoc needs when they arrive. She checked in every day and good communication.

I have known Susan for over 15 years. She has always been a conscientious and caring caregiver to the pets that look to her, and a concerned animal-lover for others. She is very reliable and trustworthy. She is one of only a handful of people I would trust to come to my house when I'm away and take care of my pet. She has worked to find forever homes for strays that she comes in contact with. In fact, she requested a microchip detector as a Christmas present, so that she could be more effective with this. On the times when she has been away, she has left me or other pet sitters detailed notes anticipating every problem. I feel sure that anyone who asks her to watch their pets would be very pleased.
