Lifetime of experience in pet care!

Pet care experience

My name is Suze and I’m a veterinary technician whose love of animals goes far beyond working hours. My hands on experience and passion for animal care helps build trusting relationships with pet parents and (of course) their fur babies. I work 3 nights a week at an emergency hospital, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility for walks, play time, and drop in visits. My shepherd mix, Merlin, is my running partner and professional trouble maker, while my cats are content watching the birds (and big cat nature documentaries!)

We have used Susie as our dog sitter on multiple occasions in the past. My boyfriend and I have 2 dogs (a Boston terrier mix and a Pitbull) and she has always been so kind and caring as if our babies were her own. Susie is always on time, kind, and understanding of our dogs' needs. She also goes above and beyond to reassure us that our dogs are doing well in her care. For example, my boyfriend and I were out of the country for two weeks and we hired Susie to come and take care of the dogs in our home while we were away. Not only did she walk the dogs at the times that we requested, so as to keep the dogs on their normal schedules, and provide adequate play and social times, she also sent us pictures and videos of the dogs every day we were away and gave us "pupdates" to let us know how they were doing. As long as Susie is willing to dog sit, we will always hire her! She has become an extended part of our family, and I am so happy that our fur-babies have such a responsible person to care for them when we are away.

Susan's passion and dedication to care for my pet was beyond expectations. My 10 year old Yorkie warmed up to her so quickly! Susan had great communication with me and was even accommodating to Frida's (my yorkies) needs. Susan was very professional and would definitely recommend!

Hi Pet Parents, If my black lab Jasmine & my cat Jack could type they'd both tell you that we found a true gem in Susie H. Susie cares for my Jasmine & Jack when I need to be away a few days a week for work. Susie loving cares for them & I never have to worry about their safety or well-being. Jasmine loves the walks & they both love the play time & attention Susie gives them. Additionally, since Susie has such great experience working with animals, she also grooms Jack for me on a monthly basis. If you are looking for a friendly, honest, dedicated, responsible person to care for your furry family member, I would highly recommend Susie. Thank you.

Susie's love for dogs shows in the way she treats and cares for them. She grew up with dogs and recently spent more than 2 weeks with her sister's dogs while her sister was gone. Susie has repeatedly shown that she is responsible around her dogs and the other pets she has had or been around.
