Highlights
Pet care experience
Attentive & Daily Updates
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.

Ratings and reviews
This was our first time having someone we didn’t know come visit our cats at home while we were away. Susan was incredible, our cats loved her. She took great care of them and sent us lots of photos which we loved. Will definitely be using her again the next time we go away. She was awesome!
Very friendly and knowledgeable about cat care. Kept me up to date and took very good care of my pet.
We had Susan come out for the second time and she took great care of our cats who have some special care needs. Can't wait to have her back again!
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!

Schedule
I’m home most of the time, which means your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches. They’ll get consistent care, company, and attention throughout the day.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live with 2 cats (a cautious, but curious rescue and a super friendly kittie). 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.
Pets
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.
