Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule, which means I’m home and available throughout the day to give your pets the attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your pets in your home, I treat your space with the utmost respect. I will keep your home tidy and clean, making sure everything is just as you left it. I follow your pet care instructions carefully to ensure your furry family members receive the exact care and routine they need. You can trust that I’ll be a responsible and considerate guest while providing loving, attentive care to your pets.

Information Susan M. would like to know about your pet

To ensure I provide the best possible care for your pet, please let me know about any special needs, routines, or breed-specific care instructions. Whether it’s dietary preferences, medications, favorite toys, or quirks that make your pet unique—I want to make sure they feel comfortable and safe.

A typical day

Whether your pet loves a game of fetch, a splash in the water, a relaxing cuddle on the couch, or a nice walk around the neighborhood, I’m here to make sure they’re happy and well cared for! I always follow their lead—if your pup is full of energy, we’ll play and explore; if they prefer a cozy nap and some belly rubs, I’m just as happy to relax by their side. I’m also happy to practice basic commands (especially when treats are involved!). My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and right at home while you’re away.

Lifelong Pet Lover You Can Trust

Pet care experience

Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion for me. I’ve been volunteering in animal shelters since I was a teenager, and more recently, I’ve fostered and volunteered with the amazing non-profit Kitty Cat Connection. Over the years, I’ve cared for countless cats and dogs in need—and every one of them has held a special place in my heart. I’ve always had pets of my own, too—right now, I share my home with four wonderful dogs and five cats, including Snoopy, my 16-year-old Beagle-Basset mix who keeps me on my toes and reminds me every day how special senior pets are. With that kind of experience, I understand the love, patience, and responsibility it takes to care for animals of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. When your pets are with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. Whether they need extra cuddles, a calm presence, or someone to match their energy, I’ll give them the same attention and care I give my own. You can count on me to keep them safe, happy, and loved while you're away.

Susan house sat our Labradors, Maddie and Piper for the first time. We are beyond pleased with the exceptional quality of attention and care she provided. Susan was always on-time, professional, friendly, and showed she cared about our dogs. She didn’t hesitate to ask questions or provide updates. Both dogs took to her immediately and she treated them like her own. The house was absolutely spotless when we returned. We will definitely be asking her to house sit again in the future!!

We found out at the last minute that our spring break accommodation did not allow cats, and Susan saved the day! We always prefer someone who has experience with cats, and Susan’s experience and love for all animals shone through from even the first meeting. When we had questions after coming home, Susan was responsive and helpful.

Susan was so great with our dogs and they loved her too. Our shy girl is usually shy with new people but she went right up to her without hardly any hesitation at all. Susan followed all of the routine instructions I left for her and gave me updates on my doggos every day. Would love to have her stay for us again in the future. Thanks so much.

Susan has watched our three dogs multiple times and has been amazing. She has helped with our older dog in the past as well as a new puppy over the past couple years. She loves animals, has a wonderful home and yard, and is a lovely person!
