Dog lover & dog rescuer

I’ve been involved with dog rescue for many years. I worked with virtually every type of dog there is. From shy, timid to very high energy. I’ve had dogs that had aggression issues. I worked with dogs on leash training, housebreaking, and socialization.

Susan was so amazing. She is the kindest person and truly loves all animals. Delilah stayed with her for two nights and had a great time with Susan and the other pups at her house. Her large, fenced yard is a dog's dream. Susan also had great communication and provided frequent pictures and updates. I highly recommend.

I had a wonderful experience with Susan taking care of my puppy, Lucky. She was kind, patient, and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. It was clear that Lucky was well cared for, comfortable, and receiving lots of love and attention. I truly appreciate her dedication and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you for treating Lucky like family!

Susan is so thoughtful and attentive. It was our first time leaving our boys with her and she did a great job with her communication with us and care of our pugs. We will use her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I am open to caring for dogs in my home. But! They have to be dog and cat friendly. I would prefer not to have younger dogs, only because my dogs are older and don’t like young dogs, jumping all over them. My dogs are very dog friendly though. My cats are very dog friendly. In fact, they prefer dogs over our cats!

I have experience with blind dogs, and dogs with some health issues. I have given injections before. Any dogs that comes to my house, has to get along with my two dogs and my cats. My cats love dogs, and are not afraid of them. They will walk right up to dogs and start rubbing up against them.
