Caring and Dependable Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I have been a pet owner for over 40 years and a Humane Society volunteer and advocate. I lost my 14 year old dog Lucy to cancer last August so I have experience with geriatric and special needs animals, as well as, the young and frisky. I am willing to share my free time now to help out other pet owners with my reliable, caring and compassionate pet sitting services. I am available to pet sit in your home and have experience with all types of animals.

Susan was so great with our dogs—she really went the extra mile to help my senior dog have extra comfort and not suffer from anxiety while we are gone, which has been a huge problem in the past for her. I will not hesitate at all to have Susan watch our pups in the future!

We have two Italian greyhounds, they’re sensitive and they crave human contact. Susan took excellent care of our babies, they loved her and we felt confident leaving them and our house in her hands. I’m sure we will hire her again :D

Susan was excellent. She is experienced, professional, and accommodating. We were very pleased with the care of the three dogs and will definitely request her again to help when we have the need.

A typical day

My style is lots of love and respect for your pets and their individual needs. I believe coming into your pet's home environment and adhering to a schedule they are accustomed to puts the least amount of stress on the animals, as well as, their humans. I work from my home office 730a - 430p Monday - Friday so I would be available any time outside my work hours for pet care. I would also consider a drop in mid day if the location was in close proximity to my home. I have experience with geriatric and special needs animals so I am comfortable administering medication or providing additional therapeutic care. I would also be available to drop off/pick up at a doggie day care or trips to the vet, as these can be challenging for busy schedules.
