Information Susan S. would like to know about your pet

I prefer small -medium size dogs! Maltese are what I’ve personally owned but I love them all. Your fur babies are my number one priority and always come first when they are a guest with me!

A typical day

WALKS, PLAYTIME IS ALWAYS, CUDDLING AND JUST ALL AROUND ONE ON ONE ATTENTION. WE HAVE A DOG PARK NEARBY, BUT I ALWAYS LIKE TO TAKE OUR OWN WALKS TOGETHER.

Home quite a bit and love dogs !

Pet care experience

I work out of the home so I can spend time with your baby! I have had Dogs my whole life and and have quite a bit of experience pet sitting for friends! I love to walk and play with our 4 legged friends, and can give meds as needed! I have a horse as well so I’m definately an animal lover! All of my dogs have lived well into their teens and I am very comfortable with taking care of aging pets! I live very close to a dog park and have a lot of grassy area at my condo. Your dog will be loved and taken care of and I can promise you they will always have fun when they are with me!

Susan was great with Naomi, always giving us daily updates about how she was doing. I felt at ease knowing Naomi was being walked and cared for, but more importantly, loved. We would definitely book again with Susan!

Susan was absolutely fabulous and we enthusiastically recommend her. She was very responsive via messaging, was attentive regarding our care needs/recommendations, and was caring with our precious dog during his overnight boarding. She sent picutres while we were away, which was comforting for me and showed our dog was happy and safe. In one picture, our dog is showing Susan his belly, which is a clear sign he trusted and enjoyed her company. Very grateful!

Susan was amazing and patient. When I dropped off my dog, I realized I forgot my dog’s food. Because I had to leave for airport right away, she offered to go to my house to get his food. It was so nice of her to go extra miles to help us out. Highly recommended!!
