Pet care experience

If you're seeking someone to care for your pets like you do, then you've found your gal! I am a single mom of 2 children and 2 mini-goldendoodles. I work during the day close to my home, so I'll be around to engage with, play with, walk, and offer pet-psychotherapy (I'm a Licensed Psychologist) as part of this package! (Ha ha). I've had pets my whole life - as a child I had dogs, litters of puppies 2 times, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, bunnies, chickens, oh my! As an adult I've bred and raised hedgehogs, had three of my own dogs, and LOVE animals! If you want someone who's a mature parent, yet playful at heart, I'll be the perfect woman to care for your dog(s). I take in only 1-2 dogs at a time. Fenced in backyard Daily leashed walk (if needed? Potty breaks frequently during the day Updated Rabies shot needed (due to having children of my own) Send me a message and let's chat more!

Susan was the best and we highly recommend her. She sent photos almost every day with a brief update on how Siggy was doing and she was very responsive to our concerns throughout his stay.

Susan and her family took great care of our small dog. I had forgotten to book our normal boarding location, but Susan helped out in a pinch over the holidays. Susan sent daily updates that made us feel at ease while gone, and the added. bonus of Susan's other dogs meant ours had plenty of playtime with humans and animals. I would definitely use Susan again.
