Information Susan S. would like to know about your pet

Please give me clear instructions on your pets needs, limitations, do's and don'ts, numbers to call in an emergency, and anything that will make your pet's stay a happy one.

A typical day

I live near the East River and there is a park along the river with dog runs; I often walk to Central Park and can take your dog there, there are a number of dogs in this building and neighborhood so if your dog is dog friendly he will meet lots of new 'friends'. With cats i can play with toys if they are playful or pet them while they purr.

Retired with time and love to give!

Pet care experience

I grew up in a family of animal lovers who rescued and cared for pets. I don't have any of my own now but I have all of the love to give to them. Retirement now gives me the time and space to provide that love, care and attention they deserve.

Susan was absolutely wonderful! Our Lenny is very shy and nervous around new people. Susan was so patient with Lenny during his overnight stay in her apartment. She sent us many updates and pictures knowing that Lenny was a bit anxious to be away from us. We would highly recommend Susan due to her warm nature and care for animals. We’re excited to have Lenny continue to build a relationship with her!

Susan is kind, cheerful and really accomodating, going above and beyond. We are really glad to add Susan to our pet family and will be using and recommending her to our friends and for our pet care. Great communication, active and attentive with our dog assessing when he needed walks, play and comforting. Timely and flexible helped us immensely with our constantly changing needs and itinerary. Thank you Susan I highly recommend your service.

Susan is fantastic! She takes excellent care of our dog and even took her to the vet for an emergency visit. Can’t recommend her highly enough!
