Susan did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby! She was attentive, reliable, and kept me updated with great communication throughout. I came home to a happy girl and an immaculate house. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter and I definitely plan on using her again.

Susan did a wonderful job with our 3 dogs. She gave updates often and even came over the day before to get to know the dogs. She understands the mind of the dog! She really took the time to understand the best strategy in taking care of our dogs. She is down to earth and absolutely lovely. Thank you, Susan!

Susan was great! She came to stay with my Havanese, Mandy, when I was gone for a very long day. Mandy is a rescue and usually very slow to warm up to people, but she took to Susan very quickly. Susan sent pictures and updates throughout the day, which I very much appreciated. She was also flexible regarding the ending time for her visit. I will definitely be using her again!

Susan was awesome...she kept us updated about the dogs while we were gone and even sent us pics! My pups seemed to thoroughly enjoy her and they were happy and healthy when we got home! We will definitely use Susan again!!

Susan, Has grown up and owned a variety of breeds of dogs. She has handled dogs with various medical needs and large to tiny breeds. The care of your pet will be in good hands while away. She takes them to get to know the dog and sends picture updates!

I like to know the dogs and cats routine, activity level and any meds or special diets keeping to the routine especially the first visit for the comfort of the pet. Once trust is established we can then venture out a bit and have fun elsewhere if desired. I appreciate knowing what words they respond to, treats they enjoy and their stress response when you are away.
