Never worry about your fur baby!

Susan was a wonderful sitter and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is kind and accommodating to take care of their dog. She sent regular updates that included pictures and made us feel at ease that our dog was being well taken care of. Our dog seemed relaxed and comfortable and had plenty of attention and time outside. Thank you Susan!

We had such a wonderful experience! She took amazing care of Trigger and treated him like one of her own. When his stomach got upset, she even made him special food to help him feel better, which meant so much to me. She also sent lots of pictures and updates, so I always knew how he was doing and could relax while I was away. I would absolutely trust her with Trigger again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter.

My golden Clark stayed with Susan for 9 days while we went on a trip. Susan sent pictures and we were able to fully enjoy our time away because we knew Clark was in good hands. Due to recent medical issues, Clark has required medications daily and Susan was very receptive and helpful in making sure he didn’t miss a dose. Will definitely rebook for our next trip!

Susan was great. She arrived a few minutes early and was happy to help my pets feel comfortable with her and the process. I very much appreciate her pup sitting.
