Caring for your pups like my own❤️

Pet care experience

OUTSTANDING REFERENCES AVAILABLE. I am a married, mature, responsible and loving parent (of dogs and humans) who has lived in the Kennett/Chadds Ford Pa area and been an active part of the local community for 12 years. I am also an athletic, animal loving yoga teacher of 15 years with a ton of experience caring for animals: my own, and those of my friends and family. I have MANY testimonials not listed here. I love walking, running, playing, chilling with and simply loving on animals (dogs especially), and I have experience with every breed from pit bull to golden doodles. I am physically strong, energetic and caring. I can care for animals in my own home or their owners’ homes. I am experienced and comfortable with such activities as administering meds, bathing, and dealing with some challenging behaviors. Both of my sisters are extremely involved in animal rescue, and I’ve learned a lot from them. I can be extremely flexible in terms of hours needed, location of care, services and payment. I currently teach very early morning and some evenings, and so I have lots of flexibility during the day. My husband lives with me and is equally experienced. I currently work part time at home and have lots of availability and flexibility to meet the needs of your animal. I try to provide the most comfortable and enjoyable experience for your pet. Essentially, you pet will be treated as if he or she were my own! That is how my household operates. 😊 If staying in YOUR home, you can rest assured knowing your pet(s) will be in responsible and caring hands...but the same goes for your house! My footprint is light while staying, and I tend to leave houses cleaner and neater than when I arrived! I have a comfortable home where animals are treated as family, with access to a large yard and neighborhood walks, park walks (where appropriate), and lots of play (depending on your animal's preferences). Whatever the needs of your pet, I will meet them with much love and attention!

Suan and Bill are the best. Our pup Noah had the best weekend filled with exercise, walks at the park and lots of love. Highly recommend to everyone!

I cannot imagine a better pet sitter than Susan. Our 9 year-old dog immediately liked her and she made us very comfortable with her. She stayed at our house for a week, kept everything neat and clean, shared pictures with us and walked our dog three times a day. She took very good care of her and of our house.

Susan has watched our pit mix pups many times over the last couple of years, and we would not trust their care to anyone else at this point. She TRULY treats our sometimes "nervous and tough to manage" babies as her own. I always tell her after each stay that our guys seem to come hope calmer and happier than they are with us! And we treat them like royalty ourselves, so that is really saying something. Look no further than Susan for a pet sitter. She is simply the best out there!

I was lucky to find Susan to care for my older dog Frankie for a few days. Susan and her husband are very personable and welcoming. We scheduled a meet up with our dog prior, so everyone was comfortable. Susan kept in touch with photos and texts which was great. She was also very flexible with our request for a different pick up time, which was appreciated. Our dog was relaxed and content when we picked him up.

Information Susan S. would like to know about your pet

The most important things I need to know are any kind of physical limitations and their level of social interaction (obviously). General likes, dislikes, etc. Essentially, I want this to be the BEST experience for all involved. Win-win-win!

A typical day

I’m a huge fan of parks with great walking trails and fenced in dog parks. Dogs that need a lot of activity will DEFINITELY get it with me. I can even run with your dog! That said, I spend time getting to know your dog and, based on your input, as well, of course, will appropriately meet their preferences and needs in terms of attention, play, walks, lap sitting, etc.
