Highlights
Pet care experience
I’ll be your pets other best friend
Hi! I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, they've been a huge part of me. Currently I am a “sister” to my mom’s dog Sammy and mom to my four cats Maple, Gidget, Coral, & Calypso! I believe not everyone can do this job, as it takes someone who is dedicated and loving to care for your fur babies.I have experience working an animal hospital as a vet tech, kennel tech, and a client service representative so I have been lucky to gain lots of experience with hands on learning! I am a student who is doing clinical teaching this semester therefor my availability isn't as flexible from January 2024-May 2024. My schedule would be a best match for families looking for an overnight sitter, for a pet who is used to parents being out during work/school hours, or pets that have access to a doggy door! I love both dogs and cats, and I do not have much experience with "exotic" pets but I am open to learning! If you have any questions regarding my availability please feel free to reach out(: Unfortunately, I cannot have any pets boarding at home additional to my own. I would happily care for yours in the comfort of their home.

Safety, trust & environment
My approach to pet care is focused on safety, routine, and comfort. I make sure pets are in a calm, clean, and supervised environment at all times, whether in my home or a client’s home. I closely follow each pet’s normal routine and care instructions so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I also pay close attention to behavior and needs, and I provide regular updates so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are in good hands.
Ratings and reviews
Susan is INCREDIBLE! We booked her two weekends in a row over the holidays, and she was extremely responsive, kind, and easy to work with. She sent a TON a photos of our two boys, gave out treats and supplements, and prepared their meals how they’re used to. She also played with them and cuddled them the whole 30 minutes. Susan was incredibly understanding of our Labrador who is skittish around new people, and now I swear they’re best friends. She also took care of our home without being asked (swept up grass the dogs brought inside, turned off a heater we left on, brought our packages in, etc.) I seriously cannot recommend her enough!!!!
I am so grateful we found Susan! She went above and beyond checking in on our kitty while we were away for a week. It was evident that she takes pride in her pet sitting duties and genuinely cares about the animal she is taking care of. Thanks so much for loving our sweet boy, always keeping us in the know, and sending the cutest photos! Hope to book with you again in the future.
Susan is awesome! She took such good care of my pup, communicated well and often, and sent lots of pictures. She also took great care of the house and was very respectful. I would definitely recommend Susan and will be using her again!
Susan is amazing and a must book! I will be using her again! She is knowledgeable, professional and will treat your furry pet as her own. She took great pictures, left great notes and kept me updated. I highly recommend if you are looking for a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter!
Susan was phenomenal! She went above and beyond in every aspect and really put my mind at ease. I messaged her only a few hours before needing her to stop in and check on my pup. Not only was she able to help me out with such short notice, but she made sure to find time to come by and meet me and my pup. Communication was great throughout the whole process and she really treated my pup as her own! As an added bonus she left a sweet treat for Lilly at the end of her visit (Lilly was a BIG fan of this)! We would highly recommend Susan and will definitely be returning customers :)
For as long as I have known Susan, she has always been passionate about people and even more, pets. Her love towards these two things shines through the way she puts them before herself. Susan is always respectful, kind, and loving. To hire her to take care of your pet will be the best decision in the world!

Schedule
As a teacher on summer break, I have a highly flexible weekday schedule and am able to provide consistent, reliable care throughout the week. I may have occasional professional development commitments, but I remain generally open and responsive to scheduling requests and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs.
