Highlights
Pet care experience
Mom, can I keep it?
I have taken care of cats and dogs my entire life. Their personalities and idiosyncrasies are so interesting for me to uncover. I would love to get to know your fur babies also.

Ratings and reviews
Susan did a great job! She was timely, followed instructions, and we felt Finnegan was very well taken care of. We will definitely use her again.
We feel really lucky to have Susan to walk our dog!
Susan took good care of my dog Ellie. She sent me photos and videos of my dog while we were gone. We will most certainly board Ellie with Susan again.
Susan did a wonderful job taking care of our cat at her home while we were on vacation. She was very accommodating and had no problems with his daily medical needs. She provided updates and photos so we knew that he was happy and getting the attention he needed. I would definitely recommend her!
Susan was amazing with our skittish cats. They looked forward to seeing her every day and were extremely well cared for. Professional and experienced, if you are fortunate enough to book Susan you'll be very pleased.
Susan was awesome!! I will be rebooking with her in the future.

Schedule
I am extremely fortunate that I was able to retire from full-time employment and am presently employed part-time during the spring, summer, and fall months. I have lots of free time, and I like to stay active w/ my pets. I am passionate about animal safety and welfare. In Michigan's non-sub zero weather, I love walking my dog and cats - in their stroller - to ensure they all get daily exercise, fresh air, and stimulation. My pets are my family, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have two cats, Ginger & Lucy, and a dog named Purdy. Ginger & Lucy are indoor cats, and I have a stroller that they love to ride in on walks. My dog loves her walks in the park, woods, and playing at the dog park (when there are very few to no other dogs there). My dog is dog & cat friendly, although she is young and sometimes likes to play too rough for the kitties. We handle this with baby gates and bridges so the cats can still move around the house with ease.
Pets
A typical day
It's been my experience that a 'tired dog is a well-behaved dog.' I enjoy taking dogs for walks, practice scent work, fetch, puzzles, and the occasional pup cup. I take my indoor cats for walks in their stroller, talk/cuddle them, play w/ them (laser pointer, fishing pole, balls, milk rings). Both dogs and cats get a limited amount of screen time watching dog and cat TV.

- It is very helpful to provide your animal(s) daily/nightly schedule, medicine (if needed), crate (when crate-trained), bed, favorite toys, and dishes. They will have less anxiety and worry, and more fun & relaxing while w/ me if I can provide what keeps them happy at home.
