Pawsitivly Perfect Pet Care

Pet care experience

About Me: Animals have been an integral part of my life from a very young age, shaping my journey into becoming a passionate advocate for their well-being. With a background as a veterinary technician (while in my 20's), being a member of the AKC, and certitification as animal Reiki practitioner, I bring a wealth of experience and expertise to my pet sitting services. My dedication to providing exceptional care stems from my genuine love for animals, which I extend to every furry friend I have the pleasure of caring for. Experience: With over 40 years of experience in rescuing and caring for both dogs and cats, I've honed my skills in handling pets of all ages and needs. From playful puppies to beloved seniors and pets with special requirements, I am well-equipped to provide the attention and care your furry companion deserves. Having personally navigated the challenges of caring for a senior dog battling cancer, I understand the importance of compassion, patience, and personalized care. Services Offered: Whether it's daily walks, engaging playtime, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I tailor my services to meet the unique needs of your pet. As a devoted dog owner myself, I cherish the opportunity to treat your pet as a cherished member of my own family, ensuring their comfort and happiness in every interaction. Availability: As a self-employed psychotherapist with a flexible schedule, I am available during most mornings, early afternoons, and some evenings, including weekends. Whether you're in need of regular pet care or seeking assistance while you're away on vacation, I am committed to providing reliable and trustworthy service. In-Home Care: For your convenience and your pet's comfort, I offer in-home pet sitting services, allowing your furry friend to remain in familiar surroundings while you're away. Prior to caring for your pet, I take the time to understand their routines, preferences, and any special needs, ensuring a seamless and stress-free experience for both you and your pet. Meet and Greet: I believe in building strong relationships with both pets and their owners, which is why I offer a complimentary meet and greet session. This allows us to get acquainted, discuss your pet's needs in detail, and ensure that we're the perfect match for each other. Get in Touch: If you're seeking a reliable and compassionate pet sitter who will treat your furry friend like family, I'd love to hear from you! Please don't hesitate to reach out to schedule a meet and greet or to discuss your pet care needs further. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your beloved companion!

I heartily endorse Susan as a responsible and loving pet caregiver... She is observant and understands pets may be stressed and need a calming influence during pet-sitting.... She provides a healthy and relaxing place. She will communicate to the owner who will not have to worry.. Your pet will be well... Regards, Mike

Susan is an amazing person and dog owner. I’ve had the privilege to get to know her and her dog Nala better over the past year! The love that she has for dogs and animals is so evident! My Goldendoodle Mylo and her Australian Shepard Nala get along so well! They love taking walks together! And Nala is very playful which goes right along my dog. I would definitely recommend Susan as a pet sitter! She’s great!

Susan is a natural caretaker for both humans and animals as she is a kind and compassionate individual that genuinely cares for others. She herself has a dog that she takes care of lovingly and displays much understanding and compassion of the needs of animals. She has a gentle way of approaching and teaching animals. Would highly recommend her for any pet related job. 🐶💖

I was so pleased by the care Susan provided for Roxy a pointer German shepherd and luna a Shih Tzu , as this two dogs walk at a different pace Susan managed to make a pleasant walk for this two lovely pets I had other pet sitters in the past but Susan it isn't just a dog sitter, she loves the animals in her care and that is very important time . She is so professional yet still down to earth.
