Highlights
Pet care experience
Retired, Ready to Love Your Pets
We have been pet owners for 60+ years and loved them all. We believe as sentient beings, they all have their own personalities. We don't see them as animals but we see them as friends! We have each had multiple dogs and cats and even a pet lizard. We are able to work as a couple or individually or if you prefer only one person.
Cat care experience
Susan & Rick also care for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Pets
Safety, trust & environment
Currently, we are able to take your pets for walks or visit them in your home as we have our own cat at home who prefers to keep our home to herself. At the age of 14, she is not overly keen on other animals visiting.
Ratings and reviews
We were a little nervous about leaving Katie for a few days, as she is so shy and usually nervous around strangers, but Susan was wonderful with her. We are delighted that we found Susan and will not hesitate to contact her whenever we need to leave our Katie again.
Susan and Rick went above and beyond providing extra care in everything they were doing for our cat, Oliver. They were very punctual, meticulous and very loving. They were brushing him every day, on top of providing food and cleaning his litter box. They even brought a new toy for him and they would let him out in the garden for a breath of fresh air during the warm summer days. They also had to put up with some water spilling, which was happening everyday and it must have been a bit annoying. Susan wrote a very detailed summary every visit: she’s a good writer and her report cards were always fun to read, and every day I looked forward to reading them! Having Susan and Rick really made us feel relieved and comfortable, as we were away for a month and we knew that our cat was being in really good hands. Thank you again!!
Finn and Mickey love Susan. Susan’s care and love for animals shows immediately. I would use her anytime and would refer her without hesitation 😺🐈
Susan is easy to communicate with and took great care of Peanut. I arrived home to a happy cat
Susan looked after my 2 cats so well. She also gave me interesting and informative updates every day. I came home to 2 happy, healthy kitties. Thanks Susan!
Susan is amazing! She has become like family for my kitten Luna while she’s growing up. She takes the cutest check in photos of Luna so I know she’s being well taken care of when I’m away at work. She is Luna’s Auntie Susan now and she is very happy and excited when she gets visits from her. Susan always goes the extra mile and gives the best care. I highly recommend her to everyone!
