Susan is an absolute treasure; we are so lucky she was available to care for our lively one and a half year old Maisie. We were worried about leaving for four weeks but Susan sent reassuring photos and messages during our time away and when we returned the house was pristine and Maisie was in great shape. Susan volunteered to pick us up at the airport and brought our dog for a joyous reunion. Susan's many strong references from her Seattle jobs proved true. We recommend her services enthusiastically and are lucky she relocated to Portland.

Susan is a fantastic pet sitter! I had her sit for my three cats and she came over exactly when she said she would. I'm a worrying pet mom and I really appreciated all the photos Susan sent me while I was gone of my happy cats playing with Susan. I would without question use Susan as a petsitter again. She is conscientious and reliable. Highly recommend!

Susan has been dog sitting and weekly walking my 2 pit bulls for a couple of years now. She has been so wonderful with my girls. She genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and is very communicative about how they’re doing and giving updates. My dogs require daily medication and she gladly gave it to them without issue. My dogs are also a bit difficult to walk as they pull and are dog reactive. Susan took it all in stride. She has recently moved away and I am so sad that I won’t be able to continue having her help with my dogs. They are always happy and have clearly been well cared for when I return. Susan is extremely professional and naturally inclined with animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet care! Thank you, Susan, for everything.
