Boilermaker Fur Baby Caregiver

Pet care experience

I am a middle-aged empty nester who recently lost our family pet. Chelsea passed away in October 2023. She was 14 years old and she joined our family when she was 3 months old. I have administered special diet needs and oral medications to both cats and dogs. Our Chelsea had arthritis so I would give her gentle hip massages and rub her temples. I walk around the yard and point out interesting things and smells while on walks. I pretty much treat the animals like a kid! haha

Susan took wonderful care of my dogs and home. She is excellent at communication and responsiveness and the dogs were very comfortable with her during the stay. I highly recommend Susan and will be requesting her again soon.

Susan is very reliable and responsible, in addition to being sweet and caring to animals! She is trustworthy and will attend to your animals needs!

Susan's watched our dogs several times before, and we always know that they're going to be properly taken care of when she does. One of our dogs has some special care instructions and she always gets the details right with him! Whenever we need a sitter she's one of the first people we reach out to!

Susan has cared for our pets multiple times over the years, from puppyhood to adulthood. We have 3 large dogs and a cat. She loves animals as if they are her own and is always looking for ways to give back to animals in need. She will follow your instructions to a T and make sure your babies are well taken care of!
