Information Susan F. would like to know about your pet

I don't have a breed preference but would like a "meet and greet" before going on the first walk, if that is the intent, and get to know the dog and how it interacts with the outside world and with me.

A typical day

Walking on the trails and in the parks throughout the city. I interact with the pet I'm walking - it is not just a dog on a leash! We have adventures and generally, I let them follow their nose

Pet care experience

Dog Walking and Pet Sitting - have cared for up to three dogs in my home continually over past 40 years and enjoyed every minute - feeding, health care, walking, and loving them their entire lives. All were rescues, each with individual issues to be dealt with and special care in their senior years. I have experience with dogs up to 125 pounds and with caring for a diabetic dog - including feeding control, administering insulin and urine testing and special needs of seniors. Out walking, as their age and energy levels demanded, we would normally spend up to one hour and the distance covered would be dictated by their "investigative" mood on any given walk. Within reason, they would choose where the walks took us. I am retired so i have plenty of time to give your pet the first class care you should expect from a pet sitting service. I care for your pet in his/her home as you would do if you were home. A great joy is interacting with them and getting to know them.

Susan was perfect throughout the entire stay, always quick to respond, sending daily messages and photos to keep us at ease, and most importantly, making our dog feel comfortable and happy. Thank you!

Susan was a gracious, flexible, and conscientious caregiver. Susan goes above and beyond duty with the walks! Our dog seems very comfortable there and, even though she’s often a bit anxious, settles in quickly. We will definitely book with her again!

Susan took excellent care of our 13 year old shih-poo in her home for one week. We appreciated the frequent updates and photos, and felt totally confident that our sweet senior dog was well cared for with frequent light walks, snuggle time, and administering medication. Would highly recommend Susan to others!

Susan was absolutely wonderful with Theodora during her 8-day stay! From the start, Susan was very kind, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs. Her communication was excellent and she kept us updated with messages and photos throughout the week, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Theodora was very comfortable and happy with her and receiving lots of love and attention. We truly felt she was in great hands the entire time. We feel very lucky to have found Susan and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!
