Loving Petsitter for Hire

Pet care experience

I was a licensed and bonded professional petsitter for almost 20 years. Now retired, I'd love to spend my free time taking care of others' furbabies. I have worked for a veterinarian as well. I'm open to caring for all pets, but I am particularly fond of our senior citizens. We just recently lost our beautiful 16-year old lab, Lilly, so now we only have our 18-year old cat, Timmy. Our home would be a very peaceful atmosphere for your pet! This would not be a good fit for pets that do not like other animals. I have been trained to know an emergency when I see one, so your baby would be in good hands. Potty breaks in the yard would be supervised. We are also able to administer medications when needed. No additional fee unless the medicating proves difficult.

Susan Nash has been a pet sitter in the past. She is a very compassionate and caring person towards all animals. She can also give pets medicines if they need medicine for a condition. Susan enjoys being with cats and dogs of all types. She has on several occasions spent the weekend with about 10 dogs at one time. She is reliable and responsible.

Susan is one one of the most caring, responsible, knowledgable persons you could ever find to watch your pets. I would recommend her without reservation She has owned special needs pets and can provide piece of mind care while you are away from home.

Information Susan N. would like to know about your pet

I have worked with dogs for many years; deaf and blind dogs. I am capable of giving oral medications. I am not experienced with dogs who need wheels for mobility, but would be willing to learn.

A typical day

We have a fenced back yard for running and playing ball. We are also happy to walk your dog when it is not snowy or icy outside. We’re a bit older and more inclined to break a hip!
