Caring, Attentive, & Experienced

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Susan and I am an animal/nature lover. I grew up on a farm, and have been a Pet parent since I was a wee babe, to many breeds of dogs and even a few kitties to include: Collie, many mix breeds, Great Dane, Blue Heeler, Chihuahua, Golden retriever, German Shepard, Beagle, and domestic, long and short hair Kitties. I am certified in Animal CPR and First Aid. I have attended dog training classes and I currently work for three major Pet companies as well as myself. I also have a degree in psychology. I promise to always give extra love and attention to your Fur baby. I will meet your pet's specific needs whether it is playtime, cuddles, walks, or a special diet. If your pet is energetic? I will run, jog, throw ball, or blow bubbles with them. If your pet is timid or a slow walker I will take my time ensuring they can take in all the sights, scents, and sounds they need to be happy. I have a wide range of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I specialize in spoiling small dogs, and am very comfortable with large breeds as well. I will follow any special instructions you have! Your home will be safe and secure in my hands. As an army Veteran I can say that safety and integrity are my number one priorities. My home is open to pets who are very good with children and other dogs and who are house trained. We will go for walks to our neighborhood park and play outside in our lovely backyard.

She was very good at sending me pictures throughout the 2 night stay. My dog had a great time. I would recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter.

I knew my pup was in good hands at Susan's! She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and got lots of cuddles. Susan cared for my pup like her own and he just adored staying with her. Also, her home was doggy heaven...so many toys and a spacious backyard for some fetch! I really appreciated the daily updates with multiple pictures! Highly recommend!

Susan did an amazing job with Lulu! She was able to get her to play with another dog, which never happens! I highly recommend her as a dog sitter ! Lulu looked better leaving that when I dropped her off ! I have a new dog.

Susan is amazing! She watched my dog for 2.5 weeks and sent me daily pictures and updates. She was extremely thorough in gathering details about my dogs routine and tried to keep it as similar as possible. Susan has an amazing yard for your dog to play! You can tell that she genuinely loves dogs and is a great care taker. I will definitely take my dog back to her in the future!
