Pet care experience
I believe the most important part of pet sitting is knowing that my client’s dog will feel comfortable at my home. I do try to understand what works best for them. Dogs have a way of letting me know what they need. I have always been a dog advocate and dogs have always been a big part of my life. I have experience with small dogs to extra large dogs. They all are fun to be around. I am reliable and will treat your pet like my own. My own family consists of 3 grown children, my youngest, Derek, is 26 years old and lives at home. He helps with the pets and helps with potty breaks and play time. We have 2 dogs, Sony who is 60 pounds and is a mixed breed. It is said that his mom was part bloodhound and dad skipped town. He is over exuberant when he first meets a new dog. If Sony were a human boy he would probably be a future athlete, that is if he would listen to his coach. Daisy is a one year old Golden Retriever. She weighs 50 pounds and would be considered a small Golden Retriever. Daisy is a sweet girl who loves to play with visiting dogs. If Daisy were a human girl she would probably be a future homecoming queen. We have 2 inside cats who are 8 years old. If your dog is cat friendly, Snow will be the first to venture out to meet your dog. Lance is a shy guy. He takes a bit to warm up, otherwise he keeps to himself.
Reviews
Susan took excellent care of our dog! We were very pleased and will definitely book with her again. Thank you!
Susan was a blessing for us and our pup! Last minute changes required us to find a boarder for 11 days with just 4 days notice, but Susan said that it wouldn’t be a problem. Our boy was taken care of so well and loved living with Daisy and Roxy and he came back after the long stay with such good manners and seemed more calm overall! If we ever need to board him again I will definitely use Susan!
Susan was quick to respond to my last minute request. She greeted my dog with warmth and let her sniff the house before meeting the other dogs, which was so intentional. I received some great pictures of my dog playing with one of hers which was awesome to see. I highly recommend Susan!
Our dog Brody had a great time. Enjoyed the updates and photos sent while we were away. Great dog sitter!

Information Susan M. would like to know about your pet
I love all breeds of dogs, but I can not sit for dogs who are aggressive. I want all dogs and people to be safe in my home. Dogs need to be neutered/spayed and UTD on vaccines. Your pet’s food is your responsibility. If there is a special bed your dog likes, please bring it. Otherwise, we have several comfy beds that your dog can sleep on.
A typical day
We have a large secure backyard where the dogs can romp and play. It is important that your dog feels secure and happy. If that requires some extra lap time and love, we got that! We live in a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks and a park.
