Safety, trust & environment

I live with one cat (a cautious, but curious rescue). My space is large enough to separate pets if needed, so your pet can feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow your routines for feeding, walks, and play. If you prefer in-home cat visits, I can stay longer to keep them company—even if it’s just quietly reading so they feel less alone.

Has 2 cats
No children present

Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 0-2 hours

Information Susan N. would like to know about your pet

To give the best care, please share: * Medical issues, allergies, or intolerances * Stair or mobility concerns (my building has a flight of stairs) * Triggers (like thunderstorms) or separation anxiety * Daily schedule and routines * House “rules” to stay consistent (ex. no pets on furniture)

A typical day

I’ll adapt to your pet’s needs—whether that’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship. I have a long hallway perfect for safe indoor fetch, and lots of enrichment options for cats. With experience in high-energy breeds (like border collies) and near-feral cats, I’m patient, creative, and flexible. Your pet will feel safe, entertained, and cared for whether at my home or yours.

Attentive & Daily Updates

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for animals my whole life, including seniors, special needs, and shy pets. My home was always the safe place for rescues and animals in need. I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, and small pets (fish, mice, rabbits, hamsters). I specialize in **senior and other sensitive pet care** with gentle handling, patience, and attention to routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free.

Doggy Day Care • dic 23, 2025

My dog, Gem, had his first visit with Susan. It was last minute and Susan was very accommodating! She lives less than 2 kilometers away so it was really convenient. It was just for the day, and Gem adjusted well to Susan's home and even her cat. He came home happy and tired so it was a good experience.

Susan took great care of our cats and was attentive to their special needs. We got regular updates, which was greatly appreciated. We will be happy to have Susan back next time we need someone to look after our kitties. Thanks Susan!

Susan took in my dog Bobby with cheerfulness and sensitivity. So he settled in with her partner and the family cat and I felt that he was in good hands for the two day visit. Thank you Susan and family! Three cheers!
