Safety, trust & environment

I currently only have cats, but their happiness and quality of life is extremely important to me. I make sure they are well fed and loved, and I would do the same for yours. Animals are truly a gift and I would love to help you take care of yours when you’re unavailable.

Information Susan L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your animal has medical concerns that I can help with. I’ve taken care of diabetic animals as well as cats with CH & FIV. I have a lot of experience with pets and tend to see things that a lot of people miss as I am a medical professional. I have given many animals insulin injections, and have medical training. Written instructions for housesitting are greatly appreciated. Please let me know if your pet has any favorite toys, or favorite things they like to do. Note: There may be circumstances which will alter the rate. Such as: Extra accommodations, more than 3 walks per day, etc. Details will be discussed prior to booking so both parties are on the same page for pricing.

A typical day

I love to mentally and physically stimulate animals! They deserve so much love, and I’m here to give them just that! I love taking long walks with dogs that can handle it, playing with their favorite toys, spending time at local dog parks (only if Mom and Dad are okay with that), and, of course, cuddles and lots of love ❤️

Susan was absolutely amazing with my pups. She stayed overnight 4 nights at my house. She even let them sleep in my bed with her as that is what they are used to do. Sent pictures and communications. My house was left in perfect order and my pups were relaxed and happy when I returned. I would definitely recommend Susan and will use her again when the occasion allows. I am a very happy camper 😊😊

Susie took great care of our senior pup who has kidney disease and thus needs a bit more attention than your average dog.

Susan was great! She made sure our kitty was well cared and sent many pictures. She even brought in our packages and took our trash out. Thank you!
