Pet care experience

Dog lover happy to welcome your pup

Empty nester, retired, and happy to share my home with your pup. We had a wonderful pup for 17.5 years and sadly he passed over the rainbow bridge about three years ago. I know how important it is to have a good home for your pet when you are out of town. I’d be happy to give lots of walks, belly rubs and love! I have a fenced yard but prefer to walk dogs for potty breaks. Experienced with senior pups.

Highly recommend Susan! She was easy to book with, very friendly, and took great care of our dog who struggles being away from home/family. We appreciated getting text updates of how she was doing. Thank you Susan!

Susan was the perfect sitter for my Shiba Inu! She took good care of him, took him on multiple walks, and even baked him dog treats! Plus she’s a delightful person who’s easy to coordinate with. I can’t recommend her highly enough!!!

Schedule

I am an early retiree and have remained active, however, have the time to care for a dog. I take walks regularly twice a day so it’s easy to fit dog walking in my routine

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and a large home. I do not allow dogs on my furniture but am happy to play and lay with them on the floor.

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks or runs either around town, on the bluffs or on the Marsh Trails. I like to snuggle and give lots of love when we're just relaxing.

I have experience fostering labs through Can-do-Canines. The labs are in training to be assistance dogs so I have experience in caring for different dogs.
