Love for cats & dogs
Pet care experience
Every cat and dog I care for gets their photo taken on every visit; and it's sent to their owner. I like to walk and run with dogs. Fetch and tug of war are my favorite games to play. When lounging and cuddling are requested, I cuddle up and watch tv or listen to podcasts while pets are freely given. I always let the pet decide how much contact they prefer. Many cats I care for only want acknowledgement and love, not full on play time. I've cared for cats and dogs, both my own and those with other owners, for over 13 years. The dogs I've boarded and cared for range from 11 pounds to 65 pounds. I've visited and worked with dogs being fostered out of rescues to help them be more comfortable around people. The cats I care for range in age, size, and temperament. I work with them on their comfort level. My schedule is super flexible as I am in town for a long visit
Reviews
Fantastic. Outstanding. Everything I was hoping to get … updates, photos, answers to questions, you name it … well, I got more than expected. Thanks Susan!!
She was literally the best with zora! I messaged her last minute for an emergency daycare day & I'm so glad I did. Everyone, bring your dogs to her.
Super responsive - sent plenty of pics. Tracked her walk. Seemed to truly enjoy walking my 120-lb pup, which is always appreciated when you are a helicopter dog mom.
Thanks, Susan!! We had to leave town unexpectedly and Susan was a life-saver. She graciously agreed to watch our dog at the last minute, giving us peace of mind in the midst of a stressful situation. Murray was loved, played with, walked, snuggled, and spoiled while we were gone. Susan is an exceptional person - you can absolutely trust her with your home and fur-babies.

All the fur babes I care for, both my own and others, have the freedom to show me what they are more excited to do. Sometimes it’s cuddle time and belly rubs; other times it’s straight to the leash and time for a walk. When the weather is not ideal for the pup walks, we play with toys. I 100% let the cats I check in on dictate what attention they would like, whether it’s just being present, giving some rubbin’s, or playing with string

Information Susan M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there are any special considerations I need to take into account. I have no problem modifying activities for fur babes that need more lower energy/impact exertions. It also helps to know anxiety levels and any potential triggers
A typical day
With all the pups I watch, I try to make sure they’re stimulated enough to be ready for a nap time. We go on walks, runs, play catch or chase for physical and mental exertion. There’s a super fantastic toy that’s like the teaser cat toy that’s one of my favorites to play with

In Kentucky, I own a pet sitting and dog walking business. So my days are full of pups and giving lots of attention. I’ll be in Gulf Shores for a sabbatical from Kentucky winters, which allows me to have open days for walks, runs, and visits
