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!

Information Susan P. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

We spent a lot of time outdoors. I have a pretty decent size backyard. My dogs loved to explore it. Depending on the dogs that are here with me, sometimes we take a walk at a park. With permission, we may go to the dog park.

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!
