I just retired from teaching in July of 2024 and am attending college 10 hours a week (mostly remote) at my own pace and my own schedule. That leaves me open 7 days a week.

Safety, trust & environment

I am very loving to my pets. I make sure they get nutritious food. Plenty of visits to the vet for checkups. I keep their food, water, and liter box cleaned daily. I talk very positive to them and give them plenty of attention. When I go out of town, I select 24 hour care in my home or in the home of others because I dont want them to be alone for too long.

Cat Whisperer for Cat & Pet Care

Pet care experience

I grew up with animals. I have always a cat or two, rabbits and birds. I have a special connection with cats and I have almost always been able to get (even the most skittish) cats to trust me. Most of my edult experience has been with middle-aged to senior-aged cats and dogs. I realize it just takes patience and talking to animals in a gentle voice to gain their interest and trust. From my experience, I have learned cats are clean and finicky animals. I will make sure they get enough to eat and get what they like to eat. I will wash their food bowls, water troughs/fountains daily. I will also keep their liter box clean.

Fantastic care for my cat, ten stars! I was away for a week and Susan visited twice a day, played with and fed the kitty. Also kept the litter box tidy and area clean. So nice to come home to! She paid extra attention to my pet and was able to get the shy girl to come out to play, very patient and pleasant person and sincerely cares for animals. Thanks Susan!

Susan was great with our older cat, Lola. We were out of town for a week and she came by to feed her and keep her company while we were away. Thank you Susan!

I have known Susan 8 years and she has impeccable integrity and is completely reliable, and she loves animals. I can't think of a better person to care for pets.
