Information susan b. would like to know about your pet

I am very familiar with special need dogs and cats. I have been a professional dog and cat sitter and know to be very particular about noticing how potty events go, checking carpet when normally they wouldn’t use the bathroom inside and especially other moods and behaviors that may show they are acting differently or need help

A typical day

I love to engage them with any fun activities. They like, some like long walks, older dogs want shorter walks we can run around in the yard or we can sit and cuddle.

Susan was the perfect fit for our dog, Sadie. She scheduled a meet and greet to get to know Sadie, and she was so kind and accommodating throughout Sadie's stay with her. I will definitely look forward to boarding Sadie with Susan in the future. Thank you for everything, Susan!

Susan was wonderful with our big, snuggly dog. Welcoming, communicative and understanding, she made him feel right at home. Thanks Susan!

Susan is not only a wonderful sitter, she loves pets like as if they were her own! Susan has been sitting my 2 long haired cats since March when I had an unexpected death in the family. I could not find anyone to sit for my 2 cats with such short notice, I was in a pinch. Susan came to my rescue and responded quickly! I'm till this day very grateful to her! When I came back from my trip and picked my cats up from her, I had a hard time getting them back in their carrier! They didn't want to leave! I was so happy that my cats felt comfortable with Susan. I didn't mind them not wanting to leave and giving me a run around her house for half an hour trying to get them in their carrier. Susan is loving, caring and very knowledgeable about cats and she has given me pointers on challenges I have had with my cats, so she is not just a person that watches your pets. I'm very happy I found Susan, she is wonderful and my cats love her! I highly recommend her services!
