Safety, trust & environment

My dog is usually wherever I am. I carry on a conversation with him a large part of my day. He has continuous food and water. I understand that continuous food isn't possible for some dogs.

Information Susan F. would like to know about your pet

Do they like people? Are they aggressive toward people or other animals? Any fears or allergies? Frequency of feeding or treats? What to do in case of an emergency and I can't reach you? Can they be around other animals @ dog park? Have they ever bitten anyone or attacked another animal? PLEASE NOTE due to narrow, steep mountainous roads, it may not be possible for me to provide services during inclement weather/road conditions. Specifically icy, snowy roads and unimproved or untreated roads

A typical day

There would be constant chatter between me and your pet. Possibly personalized songs if no one else is around. I would let the pet set the pace for exercise or play. We can go to a dog park or walk a greenway or just chill.

Pet care experience

There are only brief periods that I have not had at least one pet. Currently, one small Jack Russell mix, Taki, and a tuxedo cat, Charlie. I had a chocolate lab named Jenny for 12 years. She hiked and backpacked with me. Even slept in my hammock with me.

Susan was very kind with our dogs and gave them lots of attention while we were out of town. Would highly recommend.

Susan was wonderful. She was very prompt, took great care of our dog, kept us updated and provided photos while we were out. We highly recommend her and hope to be able to use her pet sitting services again!

Susan was wonderful! We needed someone at the last minute to come by our cabin to let our dogs out. We appreciated the pictures she sent us of our dogs and the update she sent us when she stopped by. Would highly recommend her to care for your pets.

Susan was outstanding for me while vacationing in Gatlinburg! My sweet Benji is an insulin dependent 12 year old who has to have frequent potty breaks due to his diabetes. I contacted Susan before we left and she agreed to assist me so me and my friends could sightsee with fewer trips back to our rental cabin to let Benji out. Susan was not only accommodating but offered to spend extra time with Benji since he was alone in a strange place. Susan really made this trip so much better for me!
