Dog Trainer/Professional Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi everyone! I'm a dog trainer from Toronto who has had experience raising dogs, chinchillas, rabbits, birds, hamsters, etc. I am also currently attending the program at the Karen Pryor Academy for dog training that follows the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB). Thus, my preference is for R+ and LIMA based training. I have thorough knowledge on various medical conditions and behaviours of various breeds and species of animals as I have an interest in medical sciences and animal behaviour. I also have experience looking after puppies under a year old and can assist with training them for the duration of time I spend with them. Above all, I absolutely find it a joy to spend time with animals and can ensure that your pet will be well looked after and cared for. I can't wait to meet you and furry friend!

Susan is great! She took great care of my cat for the two weeks we were away. She is gentle, responsible, always communicate with me promptly. she sends photos and video clips for every visit she takes, and reports Pop's eating and litter box situations every day! She even gave Pop some catnips for make him happy:). Also she kept the house clean and tidy. We'd love to recommend her to other cat parents and will book with her again. Thank you so much Susan!

Information Susan C. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know about the vaccination records, medical history, breed, their upbringing, habits/quirks, general behaviour, their appetite and usual appearance of their stool, the extent of their training, diet/allergies, as well as their regular day to day activities.

A typical day

If dogs are well socialized, they will accompany me to parks where they can meet other dogs. If not, we can slowly warm up to it and provide plenty of positive interactions. I offer force-free training along with my walks, and can teach your dog some additional tricks. I strive to give the dogs both physical and mental stimulation to ensure that they're happy.
