Information Susan Z. would like to know about your pet

I am comfortable giving meds or injecting meds as needed. I work in healthcare for humans and not much I havent seen, laugh out loud!

A typical day

I will go to dog parks, walk around the hood, play in the house, whatever the normal routine includes is what I will try to stick to for our visits.

Pet care experience

Hi am Susan. I have had various dogs and cats since the day I was born. I have a masters degree in nutrition, work part time as a dietitian and also have a cat. Love any and all animals whether mine or friends. I have taken basic dog training classes and frequently enjoy going to the dog parks. I have a trained and registered therapy dog and we go to therapy dog visits at schools and nursing homes. My four children are busy in college. I enjoy exercising, running, and my peloton bike. I have had guinea pig pets and even goldfish in my lifetime. I love taking care of cats or dogs...especially if it means they do not need to be kenneled and can enjoy the comfort of their own home.

Susan took great care of our 4 cats for us! We really appreciate all of the great care she provided and peace of mind we had knowing she was with them.

We were so glad to have Susan take care of Bella! Even through a thunderstorm in the middle of the night, she stuck by her! And she took the time to let us know she was doing alright throughout the weekend. This was new for us as well as Bella, so that was appreciated!

Susan took excellent care of our two dogs while we were on vacation. Our one dog is old and needs special care and medication and she took great care of him. Our younger dog, still acting like a puppy, is close to 80 pounds and can be a handful and she was wonderful with him too. I would strongly recommend her services to anyone who needs a dog sitter!! She took great care of my house too!!
