Availability
I currently work remotely and part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and boarding throughout both weekdays and weekends, with flexibility for a variety of hours. Caring for dogs has been a regular part of my life for years through helping care for my family’s three Golden Retrievers, so I’m very comfortable managing walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets the companionship and attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Having cared for my family’s three Golden Retrievers for years, I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure dogs feel calm, cared for, and loved. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine and provide them with patience, attention, and supervision at all times. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and well cared for while respecting your space and instructions. I pay close attention during walks, keep dogs safely leashed, monitor their behavior, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and bathroom breaks. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away.

Experienced Pet Caregiver
Pet care experience
I’ve cared for dogs for years through helping raise and care for my family’s three Golden Retrievers, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, and companionship. One of my dogs, Magic, is a trained service dog that I worked closely with and brought to hospitals for community service visits. Through that experience, I developed strong patience, attentiveness, and an understanding of how to work calmly and positively with dogs in different environments. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels and always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My flexible remote work schedule also allows me to provide reliable attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout the day.
Reviews
Everything about Susan was exceptional. She is professional, courteous, and fantastic with animals (she handled both our 125 lb Newfie-Pyr and our beagle with ease). Her communication throughout her stay was outstanding, and she truly went above and beyond. We felt completely confident in her care. We highly recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again. 💯 recommend!
Susan’s love and care for pets is unmatched. She is an extremely responsible and attentive caregiver who never fails to show up for my pets. She has watched and taken care of them for years, and I trust her to always look out for their best interest and know what to do in case of an emergency! She is incredibly attentive, reliable, and kind. My pets are always so happy to see her, and they think of her as part of the family! I’ve never met anyone with such a genuine love for dogs, and that’s what makes her care so amazing. I cannot recommend her services enough.
Susan does such a good job watching my pup while I am gone. She is prompt in her communication, arrives on time, and takes very good care of my dog, Charlie. I can tell he really enjoys spending time with her while I am gone and she wears him out when they do the occasional evening walk if I’m working late. She clearly loves animals so much and they love her too! I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting or dog walking needs.
