Deluxe in-home Cat & Small Dog Care
Retired since January 2023, I am offering cat and small dog sitting services in my home. I will travel within my own neighborhood and sometimes out of town. My first client "Oscar" stayed with me three times. I have also been an approved foster care cat home for 8+ years with our local cat shelter "Kitty Cat Pals". I love cats and have a lot of experience with them from kittens to seniors. I have had cats since I was a baby and a few small dogs as well; shelties, pomeranians, and a miniture poodle. I love to meet new pets and care for them for like minded pet owners. I love to cuddle on the couch watching movies with a pet so your pet will get lots of cuddles and attention. I have two spacious designated rooms with 3 cat pens, nightlights, music, fresh air, heat, fans, 55" TV, couch and chairs plus panoramic views of mountains, ocean and a bird santuary. I will spend lots of time with your pet watching TV and snuggling on the couch. If you own a small dog, I can accommodate if ok with cats or if there are no cats in boarding rooms at the time. I have a small outdoor dog pen suited for small dogs for potty breaks. Thanks for your consideration. Susan

Ratings and reviews
Life Saver! I called Susan asking if she could do a short notice (same day) open ended dog sit for a friends small dog when the person unexpectedly ended in the hospital and she said yes! She was wonderful and considerate and super knowledgeable and it was a perfect fit for a small dog. The owner now has a trusted go to person for future dog sitting and I know who to call as well. Would definitely recommend!
Susan was so great with my Lily! She took care of her for 9 days and sent me photos and updates throughout. I was very grateful to know that Lily was in good hands while I was away. I'll definitely send Lily to Susan's amazing care again when I need to. Thanks Susan!

Susan was amazing! She took great care of our dog while we were away and made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. She was very responsive, kept us updated throughout the trip, and regularly sent us pictures, which we really appreciated. From all the updates and pictures, we could tell our dog was having a great time and was genuinely happy and comfortable with her, which meant a lot to us. It was very reassuring knowing she was in such good hands. Susan was reliable, caring, and overall just great to work with. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!

Susan was great with our senior chihuahua Peanut. He’s an anxious dog and was quite relaxed with her. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Peanut with Susan again.

she was great she sent photos of happy dog every day very pleased
Susan was a great dog sitter and I would recommend her. She took me on as a client with two days notice. I was able to meet with her prior to the two week event. She took very good care of my little buddy, gave suggestions to his care when needed and kept me daily informed about him. I even had pictures of him which I appreciated a lot. I would use her services again without hesitation.

A typical day
I will spend quality time with your cat or small dog visiting multiple times a day and playing with toys, wands and sitting on the couch cuddling and watching TV when they are boarded at my home. If I am taking care of your small dog we will go on two walks a day. There are two walking trails near my house one along the water and one through the woods.
