Retired Dog Trainer/Behaviorist

Pet care experience

Hi there, I’m Susan. I’m a retired trainer, experienced pet sitter, and all around dog lover here to provide care for your furry friend! As a retiree, I am at home the majority of the time, so your dog will rarely be left alone. I love continuing to work with dogs, it keeps me busy, and helps me stay current with my training education. I’m a perfectionist--that means I will ensure your dog is getting the best care possible. I have an extremely caring nature, and if a dog is nervous or shy, I am happy to help them work through it. Your dog is more than a client to me, they are a friend, and I make an effort to bond with each individual dog in my care. I’m an Auntie to the majority of my furry friends! You and your dog will love me because caring for dogs is my calling. I have fostered close to 40 dogs and help them find their forever families. It was so rewarding teaching those dogs to be happy family members. I even have taught training classes at the humane society. My home is very dog friendly. As an experienced dog person, I know accidents happen, and my laminate floors are very forgiving. My yard is small, but it’s great for stretching legs and catching the breeze. My neighborhood is quiet, and there are many friendly neighborhood dogs to meet. Please reach out to me to set up a meet and greet. I’d love to see if we would be a good fit. I’m home 24/7 so your dog is always being looked after. My husband does the shopping etc when we have a guest. If I do have to leave the house, I’ll discuss it with you first. Fenced yard with 24 hour supervision. I’ll treat and love your dog as it were my own. We don’t mind couch lovers and our house is completely dog friendly.

Susan always takes good care of my little one. This time he came home healthy, spoiled and with a new toy. Thank you!

Thankful to Susan for taking care of Loki so well. He seems to have had a wonderful time with Charlie.

Susan took great care of Gizmo! Communicative, prompt, friendly, and sweet to send photos of our pup while we were away. I’d certainly rebook with Susan!

Information Susan D. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog get along with other pets? What are their exercise needs? How is their health? What can I do to make them feel special? How can I bond with them? What are your expectations for the stay? Any bite history?

A typical day

When your dog stays with me, they'll be treated just like one of my own. I'm an expert at giving belly rubs, I love going on long walks, and I'm happy to help with manner reminders.
