Susan is a life-long dog lover. Goes the extra mile to give affection and training. Patient and kind. Diligent with her current new puppy. Definitely top-rated!

Susan and I have been married for 40 years. I did not grow up with dogs when I met her she already had two of them, since then we have had a series of rescues and breeder dogs that have made our family hole. She even said she wouldn’t get married if I wasn’t all in on the dogs. We dealt with one very reactive dog that had been treated for Pavo and had a lot of issues and were able to turn him around. When I met her I was not a dog person now I’m up at 7:30 every morning walking our puppy Wallace. She loves to walk loves dogs. This would be a perfect opportunity for her.

I’ve known Susan for more than 25 years. I’ve never known her to be without a dog. She is a loving and experienced pet owner. As a pet caregiver, you will find her responsible and caring. I have trusted her with my pets and wouldn’t hesitate to do it in the future. Bobbie D

Schedule

Fully retired. We are snowbirds shuffling between Indianapolis and Sarasota. I will be in Sarasota October thru April. . I have total flexibility since I am retired and a one year-old pup Wallace a white West Highland terrier who my husband can help with if I have an assignment.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Susan can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I prefer dogs 40 lbs or less. I need to know if your dog is reactive and to what. Could I bring my dog to walk with yours? If not no problem.
