Pet care experience

Flexible sitter who loves all pets

Hey there! I’m an experienced and responsible dog sitter who truly loves spending time with pups of all sizes and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just hanging out in the backyard, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I’m comfortable with all breeds and temperaments, and I’m happy to follow any training rules, feeding schedules, or medication routines you have. I provide regular updates, lots of playtime, and the same kind of care and attention I give my own pets. Your dog’s tail will be wagging, and you’ll have peace of mind.

Susan was wonderful with my fur baby, Ezio & he absolutely loved her. No matter when I would contact her, she responded immediately. She updated me on their walk & sent adorable pictures. She was very dependable & accommodating to a few of my minor changes. I will definitely use her again, and highly recommend her!!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine—whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. I take time to get to know each pet's personality and preferences so I can provide personalized attention and care.

Pets

A typical day

I love tailoring activities to match each dog’s personality and energy level! For active pups, we’ll go on fun walks, play fetch, or enjoy tug-of-war sessions. For more mellow dogs, we’ll have cuddle time, slow strolls, or just hang out in the yard or by the window. If your dog loves car rides, I'm happy to include a safe little outing (with your permission, of course)!

Before sitting a pet, I like to know as much as possible about their routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide the best care. Some things I always ask: - Feeding schedule and any dietary restrictions - Medication instructions, if applicable - Energy level and favorite activities - How they are with other animals, people, or children - Any fears, triggers, or behavioral quirks (e.g., separation anxiety, leash reactivity, nervousness during storms) - House rules (e.g., are they allowed on furniture? crated at night?) The more I know upfront, the more I can make your pet feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away!
