Doggies will get walked (or ran if they like that) at least twice a day. If they are able to be off leash, we can play fetch and play in the park to which the backyard gate opens. My two dogs, Rosebud and Biscuit, are small and friendly. They love playing together and with other dogs. They like to chase, tug on ropes and cuddle.

Information Susan M. would like to know about your pet

It is important to know if the dog likes children and small dog, and if the dog chases squirrels or cats. I appreciate knowing if the dog is food motivated (will listen for treats or will put paws on counters looking for food).

A typical day

Being so close to the river, we can explore the trails and dogs can take in all the wonderful, rich smells of the nature there. My daughter adores and is great with dogs, and she will play with them to both their hearts content.

Pet care experience

I have always loved and enjoyed animals - especially dogs. I had my first dog when I was about 7 and have had the pleasure of living with 9 dogs to date. I have a calm yet fun energy in which dogs feel comfortable and able to be themselves. I have experience training puppies and helping heal abused dogs and have witnessed behavior transformation. I ensure feeding/water bowls and inside/outside of the house are cleaned regularly, there is a comfortable place for the dogs to rest, and the dogs receive the attention that is needed.

Wonderful experience leaving Bella with Susan. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting a loving home for their dog when away from home.

Over the years, Susan has taken care of my dog multiple times for short and long durations, with short and long notice and has been very accommodating. I'm moving so I am sad that I won't have her available to take care of my dog in the future. Thanks so much, Susan!

Susan made my first time using a pet sitter, stress free. Always stayed in touch and sent me photos of my dog at the park, did some training, and took him on walks & runs for me. When I finally took him home, he seemed relaxed and himself, I could tell he was very well taken care of.
