Information Susan M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I am here to be your fill in parent while away.

A typical day

I tailor activities based on the temperament of the animal. For the playful dog, I love to play fetch or tug of war with their favorite toy. For the needy dog, plenty of petting and reassurances that they are loved. I have a large securely fenced back yard if your dog wants to expend some extra energy.

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm and have been an animal lover my whole life. My parents called me the dog whisperer growing up because I was the only one our dogs would listen to. We had cats also, as well as horses, cows, pigs, even a donkey. I look forward to being your fill in parent to your fur baby when you are away!

Susan did a great job of taking care of our two cats while we were away for the week. Having never met her before, the cats warmed up to her quickly and she was good with communication with us and left everything in great shape when we got back. We would definitely recommend Susan and will choose her to pet sit again.

Susan is an excellent dog sitter and I cannot speak highly enough of her. She is committed to the well-being of my pet and it was evident from the moment I introduced her to my mini dachshund, Dallas, that she knows how to connect with animals. What sets Susan apart is her unwavering reliability as she is not only punctual and attentive but also proactive in addressing in special needs or requests I have. My dog Dallas is small but has a lot of high maintenance qualities that make it difficult for me to feel comfortable leaving her alone for extended periods of time. When I leave Dallas with Susan, Susan takes the time to communicate with me regularly and provides updates that bring me peace of mind while I’m away. Her kindness, reliability and genuine love for all animals makes her the perfect choice for anyone seeking a responsible and loving caregiver for their beloved pets. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend.
