Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Susan. I have over two years of pet-sitting experience in Canada and moved to Arlington, MA in July 2025. I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention throughout the day. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs—playing fetch and frisbee, taking them for walks, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m especially experienced with small dogs and understand their routines and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure to follow owners’ instructions carefully. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to taking great care of your furry family members!

Susan is so great with our Rosie! So many pics and she took her to the park. Rosie was so happy 😁

Susan took good care of Lucy. Since she is able to host more than one dog at a time, Lucy enjoyed some canine companionship. And Susan was careful to monitor the dogs' first interaction when we dropped Lucy off to make sure they got along well. We also appreciated Susan's regular and clear communication during Lucy's stay. Thanks!

Susan was very calm and patient with my pet who was nervous meeting a new person. By the end of his visit, he was happily going for walks and ready for belly rubs and ear scratches. Thank you Susan for taking such great care!
