Information Susan M. would like to know about your pet

Please no, aggressive dogs. I prefer dogs who do not bark incessantly. No contagious medical conditions. Dogs who will not jump a 4 1/2' fence.

A typical day

dog will be fed if asked in the am. Then walked. Playing in the fenced yard and playing and resting in the home. Usually another walk in late afternoon. Would like owners to provide 1 or 2 toys. Your dog will basically follow the same routine as my dog.

Gracie had a wonderful time. She was very, very well taken care of. I had pictures at least twice a day that made me feel that she was so safe. She seemed happy and having a very good time and very comfortable. I will not hesitate to use Susan again if I need Gracie to be watched, they’re very nice people. I feel that I have also made new friends for life.

I have had the privilege to be friends with Susan for over 20 years, and she is the most loving animal person I have ever known. She is great with all kinds of animals, very trustworthy, and a very nice and kind person. If you need someone to walk or care for your pet, she is the one.

My mom, Susan has not spent one day without a dog by her side. Animals have always been my mom’s first love, dogs especially. She will care for your dog as if they were he own!
