I've known Susan for nearly 6 years and would highly recommend her for dog walking and dog sitting. In addition to being highly qualified, Susan loves dogs! In fact, she grew up with three lovely labs (and lab mixes) whom she helped to train. She is one of the most conscientious, responsible, and friendly people I've ever met. She has also volunteered for dog fostering and adoption events over the last few years, including with K-9 Volunteers. Susan is also certified by the National Zoo as well as by the Animal Behavior Institute in Wildlife Studies. She has volunteered as a zoo keeper's aide at the National Zoo for over two years. In short, she has not only the qualifications and experience to be a wonderful dog walker/sitter, but also the passion for caring for dogs.
