Experience and compassion matter!

Pet care experience

My dogs are family. Your pets will be treated as my family, always deeply loved and cared for. I have extensive experience owning dogs, cats and livestock for over 45 years. Professional experience as a veterinary technician for large and small animals and employment with a reputable Kern County dog rescue that included veterinary care. Very diversified experience fostering over 150 dogs for a Kern County dog rescue that included being one of their primary medical fosters with a emphasis on wound care and rehabilitation.

Great Dog Sitter. I do recommend her! She was very kind and gentle towards oreo and he was very happy when I went to pick him up. I would just have liked more updates on oreo but other than that great person!

Susan is the best pet sitter I've had the pleasure of meeting! She was able to take care of my dog during a last minute trip. Incredibly kind, caring, and compassionate- the updates and pictures during my dog's stay were so appreciated! Susan went above and beyond to care for my dog while I was away and I feel so blessed to have been able to find such a wonderful person to care for Harley! I highly recommend her pet-sitting services to anyone that is in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter! Amazing experience through and through; looking forward to booking future visits! Thank you so very much!

Susan has over 40 years of experience when it comes to working with animals. She was a veterinary technician, animal foster, and administrative assistant for a very popular dog rescue here in town. She is comfortable with animals with medical needs as well, she has done amazing work with dogs with burns. I would trust her with any animal, they love her! She is compassionate and in tune with how the animals are feeling, she picks up on any subtle changes in demeanor. You would very lucky to have her assist you with any day visits or overnight pet sitting. The peace of mind that comes with trusting your beloved animals with someone who truly loves working with them is important.

Susan has watched my senior Puggle, Toulouse, on many occasions! She has always taken such great care of him and he’s always very excited to see her. Susan has fostered many dogs over the years and has worked with animals off and on most of her life, she has a ton of knowledge! I have consulted her more than once on issues I was concerned about with my dog and she was able to offer sound and educated advice. Susan will definitely treat your pets like her own!
