Information Susan D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any specific needs or has a special diet. I can work with you to provide any extra attention for pup needs.

A typical day

Stimulating a pup is crucial for maintaining a happy, healthy animal. I like to take walks in parks and play with the dog, whether it’s with one of their favorite toys or going on a short run.

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for cats and dogs most of my life. I have worked with large dog breeds that can be aggressive and small, energetic puppies that keep you on your toes. I love cats and am patient and kind, letting them set the pace for affection.

Susan was outstanding! Regular communication, very understanding and patient with my elderly dog, and Luna left happy and healthy. Thank you Susan!

Susan housesat with my quirky cattle dog Nizhoni for 2 weeks. He’s a shy 5 year old, 54 lb rescue from New Mexico, who is sweet, but wary of new people. Susan bonded with him quickly on our meet and greet. She’s terrific - a true dog whisperer- very caring and competent. He was o relaxed and happy in the photos and video she sent me. I’m so grateful to her for taking such good care of my boy!

Susan took excellent care of my Boston Terrier, Max, while I was away for the holidays. He has not dtsyed away from home in a long time, so I was concerned about how he would do, but he settled right in. Thanks, Susan.
