Safety, trust & environment

I only do drop ins at this time, but your house, your rules. Cameras are 100% OK! I scoop litterboxes EVERY VISIT, give meds, and I may be caught on camera talking to your furry FAMILY. Dogs get a Loooong outdoor walk or dog park visit (your preference), weather permitting. We will get the exercise in and the energy out! Cats will be played with at their own preference and discretion. Nothing is forced, ever. I don't tower over them, and if they don't want to come out of hiding, that's totally OK. I won't force interactions they aren't comfy with. I will attempt to make visual contact for safety every visit.

Information Susan H. would like to know about your pet

Please give me a heads-up if your pet has any special concerns, medical, behavior, habits, etc! And dog sweaters! And cat treats! Anything else at all!

A typical day

Dogs: Long walks, dog park, tossing, catching, floppy-ear scritches Cats: Respecting boundaries, but feather wand, tossing plastic springs, treat puzzles, using toy on string to get them up and active, if they're choose. I follow Jackson Galaxy's "Hunt>Catch>K1ll>Eat>Groom>Sleep" Method.

Pet care experience

I'm an experienced professional cat lady. I'm the person your friend calls at 2AM to rescue a furry friend in distress. But I also love walking the doggos! Big and Bully Breeds are OK! I'm located in The Babcock at Bull Street District (Segra Park), so you don't need to worry about the dumb parking pass situation! And indoor cameras are 100% OK with me! Comfortable with giving meds, shots, and other care discussed in advance. With discussion, I can also run the pet bowls in the dishwasher, deal with the valet trash, and water plants if they look dry, on request.

Susan has been excellent. Fenway really enjoys spending time with Susan for his lunch time walk. She is very communicative and helpful. Reliable , has been on time each visit. I have been very satisified and highly recommend Susan

Susan is absolutely wonderful, and I can’t recommend her enough. I know her well and trust her completely, which makes leaving my cat so much easier. She understands my cat’s routines and treats her with so much care and love. While I was away, Susan sent thoughtful updates that made it clear my cat was relaxed, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. When I got home, my cat was happy and calm—always the biggest sign that she was well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing my pet is with someone dependable, kind, and genuinely invested in their well-being. Susan goes above and beyond, and I would happily book her again without hesitation!
