Animal Lover with Great References

Hi, my name is Susie and I am currently studying Canine Massage at RMSAAM, and will be a Certified Canine Massage Practitioner after I finish my case studies (I have done all of the course study hours). I love animals and am involved in on-line rescues. I have a wonderful little service dog named Cali who accompanies me on all of my sits....she went to school with me and was one of the massage practice dogs. She loves everyone....other dogs, cats and kids of all ages!! I have been a dog lover my entire life and have raised Westies, Shih Tzus, Schnauzers and lots of little mixes!! I can provide references upon request....either in paper form or telephone numbers. HOLIDAY RATES: For Holiday Weekends, there will be an addition fee of $5 per day/per dog. Thank you. Additional Rates & Services: For In-Home Petsitting there will be a fee of $5 per night for each additional dog and a one time gas fee of $10 if you live more than 15 miles from my home. Trips to the Dog Park: $25 for 2 Hours (within 10 miles of park ) $5 gas fee over 10 miles Up to 2 dogs - $10 for each additional dog Large Dogs $5 extra I'm sorry but I cannot take Giant Dogs at this time Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my entire life. My family always had dogs. After my first service dog, Nicky, got cancer in 2010, I started looking toward alternative medicine to help him out. Through that search, I found my true calling and am currently in school for canine massage. I studied at RMSAAM (Rocky Mountain School for Animal Acupressure and Massage) and am just a few case studies away from being certified. I love dogs so much and it would be a privilege and a pleasure to take care of yours while you are away. Meet my pets HOLIDAY RATES: For Holiday Weekends, there will be an additional fee of $5 per day/per dog. Thank you. Additional Rates & Services: Trips to the Dog Park: $25 for 2 Dogs 2 Hours (within 10 miles of park ) $5 gas fee over 10 miles $10 for each additional dog My experience administering medication My dog Nicky, was diabetic and I gave him 2 shots of insulin daily for 4 years. He also had cataract surgery, and I had to give him several drops in his eyes 2 - 3 times a day, so I'm very used to dealing with special needs animals.

I wanted to share how pleased we were with Susan’s house- and dog-sitting services. She looked after our home and our dog recently, and we couldn’t have been happier. Susan is professional, dependable, and clearly loves animals — our dog was so happy while we were away. She took excellent care of the house, respected our instructions, and was a calming, trustworthy presence. We came home to everything in great order and a very content pup. We wholeheartedly recommend Susan to anyone looking for a reliable house or pet sitter.

Susan was great with the pups, even my - stranger danger- chihuahua. I got pictures from her at the end of each visit.
