Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Susan. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I have spent most of my adult life in Health Care for humans but my first love has always been animals! I grew up on a farm and I have a life time of experience in taking care of all types of animals from dogs and cats to horses and pigs. Whether it flies or crawls, swims or trots, I can take care of it. If it barks or bleats, mews or moos, clucks or quacks, I’m your girl! I have had a love of all animals all my life. It is my honor and privilege to be able to give that same love and attention to your pet. I am a professional pet sitter. I am also certified in pet CPR and First Aid and I'm very comfortable in administering any kind of medications your pet may need. If I'm taking care of your pet, you may rest assured, safety is my first priority. Then comes all the furry fun and hugs! Covers Casselberry, Oviedo, Winter Park, Winter Springs, Longwood, Altamonte, Orlando and Maitland Why I love dog sitting I grew up in NC and began my life as a child surrounded by a variety of animals. I got my first cat, dog, horse, fish tanks and a parrot all by the age of 8. Over the course of many years I've shared my home with a wide variety of animals and have adored them all! No matter what kind of day I'm having, the moment I walk into a client's home and see how excited their pets are to see me brings a smile to my face EVERY single time! I have no resident pet at this time in my life, so being in this profession gives me much joy by spending quality time with my client's 'fur babies'. Your pet will receive EXTRA TLC from the moment he/she's in my care until returned to you. Your baby will be spoiled rotten!!! I'm generally home all day and provide lots of love, attention, playtime and walks in my quiet & friendly neighborhood. I'm flexible to deliver ANY request that you may have. I'll give your pet the full attention that he/she deserves. About my yard Lake Howell has vast peaceful wooded areas all the way down to the water so there are plenty of places your baby will enjoy walking to and from. My experience administering medication As mentioned earlier in my profile, I grew up on a farm and administered medications of all kinds to host of animals and I also returned recently from working on a 101 acre farm in Old Chatham, New York with a large variety of 60 animals...many in need of daily medications. I am VERY comfortable giving insulin injections, eye drops, oral medications, basic medical care, special diets, ear drops, post and pre-operation surgical care. It's my priority to care of your pet while you're away so you won't have to worry. I can take care of a host of special needs and medical needs. My pricing may vary if additional care is required. Please feel free to inquire for more details.

Susan was wonderful with our dogs. I was apprehensive about leaving our rescued dogs in fear they would have high anxiety and try to run away. Susan was loving and took excellent care of the dogs; she also kept in close contact with us via videos and pictures which put my husband and me at ease. I would highly recommend her and plan on booking all vacations around her schedule.

Susan is the best pet-sitter! She was hands-on and provided detailed reports regarding my dog's well-being and included lots of photos and videos. She is incredibly caring and conscientious and I whole-heartedly recommend her.

Susan is very attentive and a great care taker of our puppy. She learned every detail and tried to mimic the way we take care of Tellie in our own home. Because Susan sent us updates, pictures & video, We knew our pup was in good hands with her all weekend! I would definitely have Susan watch Tellie again. I'd highly recommend her dog sitting services to anyone.

I had a sudden family crisis and had to leave town immediately with no warning. Susan went above and beyond to work caring for Smokey and Yogi into her already booked schedule. I am forever grateful for her kindness. During an extremely difficult and stressful time, I had some peace knowing my pups were in Susan's great care. Thank you, Susan.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I live right on Lake Howell and will walk your pooch down and around the lake for either a stroll OR a fast paced walk for exercise. This pet friendly property is beautifully landscaped with very spacious wooded areas and even a little beach. It's a lovely walk or run! Your dog's sleeping arrangement After a full day, they may sleep wherever they feel most comfortable. Having your pet in a friendly, secure and loving atmosphere is essential to them being happy. Time I'll spend with your dog Since becoming a professional pet sitter, I'm generally home most of the day thus providing practically 24 hour supervision.

I will also send plenty of text photos, videos and messages to you all throughout their stay. Time I'll spend with your dog During your pet's stay with me, he/she will have most of my 24 hour day. I have plenty of time to spend with your baby/babies. They will get plenty of indoor and outdoor exercise. You're precious one/ones will receive tons of love and undivided attention.
