Pet care experience
I am a responsible, quiet, organized, non-smoking home owner with no children at home who will respect your house and spoil your pets just like I do my own. I have been an active volunteer and then executive director of an animal shelter; fostering scores of momma dogs/cats and their litters until they were healthy enough for adoption. I have cared for my daughter's menagerie of six pets and successfully soothed my son's Husky with separation anxiety while he was traveling. I have also been on the other side of pet house sitting - finding pet sitters to take care of our rescue Golden Retrievers - so I know that clear expectations for both the sitter and home owner are essential.
Reviews
Susan was amazing and I’ll be her again to take care of Harvey. He loved her!
Susan was recommended to us by one of our coworkers. We had a trip and were uncomfortable with sending our dog to a dog hotel. He gets anxious in those environments. Our dog, Finn got along with her dog, Annie and he loved it! We received updates and photos everyday and were able to be at ease during our trip. We’re so glad we booked with Susan, highly recommend!
Susan is a lifesaver—we had just moved to the area and had to make an emergency trip out of town with barely any notice. Susan cared for our cats at the last minute, and was reliable, communicative, and thoughtful throughout our time away. Plus, she asked all the right questions about the cats' needs...it was obvious she put the highest priority on making sure our pets were safe and happy! I'd recommend Susan to anyone.
Susan took very good care of our German Shorthaired Pointer. She even took her on a hike and sent us pictures!

Keeping your pet safe and comfortable is my top priority. As a life-long pet owner I am very aware of how careful you must be even in seemly mundane situations.
Home
Information Susan W. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know what your pet likes, dislikes, and how is the best way for your pet to be comfortable while you are away. An initial "meet and greet" is highly desired.
A typical day
I am an avid hiker, usually logging five miles a day with my four year old mini Australian Shepherd, Annie. Based on your pet's personality we can be active, social, quiet or anything in between.

Availability
I am retired so I am at home except for daily two hour hikes and errands around Los Alamos. I am happy to tailor my schedule around the needs of your pup.
