Pet care experience

Loving care when you can’t be there

With over 40+ years of experience as a devoted pet owner, I’ve had the joy of caring for animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities! My lifelong love for animals naturally led me to become an animal therapy evaluator, where I’ve seen firsthand the incredible bond between people and their pets. I believe in positive guidance and reinforcement - creating a safe, calm, and encouraging space where every pet feels loved, understood, and confident. Whether it’s playtime, training or quiet companionship, I treat every animal as if they were my own.

Sue was fantastic with our dogs, especially our new rescue, who can be reactive and requires extra patience and care. She was punctual, reliable, and followed all of our instructions to a T, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We were especially grateful for how accommodating Sue was when we asked her at the last minute to do an additional check-in with the dogs on her final day. She was happy to help and went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. Sue also treated our hime with great respect and left everything exactly as she found it. We highly recommend Sue to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and dependable sitter. We will absolutely use her again in a heartbeat!

Susan was wonderful! Her experience, care and compassion made for a great vacation for both Angus and us. She is truly an amazing sitter. She calmed Angus' anxiety and treated him so kindly. We communicated throughout the trip and that calmed our anxiety,LOL. When you see a video of your dog joyfully playing, you know things are fine. Susan has become part of our family. We feel much more confident that Angus will be happy and in great hands for future travel. We highly recommend Susan as a wonderful sitter.

Susan, loves puppers and it shows. She was very prompt with her visit and the pictures were amazingly well done and made us smile with each one. I will definitely try to rebook this gem of a doggy sitter again if I need to leave town.
