Pet care experience
No Time to Walk your Dog? Call me!
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.

Ratings and reviews
This was the third time Theodora stayed with Susan, and once again we couldn’t be happier! This time, Theodora stayed for a weekend while we traveled for a wedding, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing she was being cared for with so much love and attention. She is wonderful with Theodora, and we always feel completely comfortable leaving her in her care. We’re so grateful and would absolutely recommend her! ❤️
Susan was great with Murphy. Got lots of pictures and updates and she made sure I knew he was being well taken care of. Was a stress free trip knowing he was being well looked after. Would definitely rebook.
I did leave a favourable review for Susan just before I received this email. Perhaps it was not received.
I had a stress free trip thanks to Susan! My cats were very well taken care of and I loved the pictures/updates she provided! I would definitely rebook.
Susan is an amazing sitter and her updates and pictures when I’m away are always so sweet and make me feel so so reassured!! Mazie feels at home when she’s with her and gets lots of love and extra care!! Highly recommend!
Susan has been so helpful in taking care of Pepper. She was flexible and accommodating with pickup and dropoff. She took great care of Pepper with several walks each day. Susan was sensitive to Peppers needs for security and regularity it seemed that, even though Pepper is often unsettled, she was calm and relaxed for the whole visit. Thanks so much for creating a home away from home for our dog!

Schedule
I am retired so will make every effort to fit your needs to my schedule with current Rover clients. The pets I care for and who are entrusted to me are my top priority and first consideration.

Whether in my home or theirs, I make every effort to stick to the routine they are used to so as not to stress them unduly.
Pets
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
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatTakes only 1 client at a timeSusan can host up to 1 pet per night
- 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.
