Pet care experience

Pet Mom with love to spare

I have lived my entire life with pets of all kinds. I love them all and treat them as a member of the family. With no children, my pets are my kids. My devotion to my pets results in long and happy life for any animal in my care. My pets often dictate my vacations and personal schedule. I have no social life. I am as devoted to my dog as he/she is to me. Any pet in my care will get that same devotion. As of 11/2024 I have a 2 month old basset hound puppy, Charlie!

We were so happy with the loving care and attention Susan gave our girl Allie. She had her for 2 weeks and Allie took a while to warm up. Susan sent pictures often and communicated with us frequently. She was so flexible and even kept her extra time to help us out with an unforeseen situation. Appreciate her and would definitely recommend!

Susan is an amazing dog sitter! She sent great photos that really put my mind at ease. My dog came home from her overnight happy and well cared for. Highly recommend, and we’ve already booked another stay!

I am now retired so I can usually accommodate most requests. While we will take some walks we will also spend a lot of time in the backyard where I like to garden.

Does your dog have any quirks? Do they prefer company when they are outside? Will they take their meds freely or need some food enticement? Do they play nice with others? Are they runners? Diggers? I like to know everything I can to prevent any "episodes" between us.
