Pet care experience
I have taken care of pets since I was 10. My mom instilled the importance of responsible pet care to me and I excitedly took on the responsibilities of providing the love, care, attention, and training my two rescues needed. When I was 11, I sheltered a kitten who remained my closest companion for 17 years. Throughout high school and college, neighbors and friends trusted me to petsit during their short and long-term travels and walk their companions as needed. I continued to do so in college, while living with a friend and her ESA dog. I currently co-parent a rescue named Finn with my best friend and continue to dogsit for friends as needed. I love trips to the dog park and dog beach, hiking, and relaxing with all my furry companions. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and energetic sweethearts.

Thank you so much! I can tell Otto had the best time cause he was napping for days after. I’m certain he’s looking forward to his next adventure with you :)
Susana took care of my beautiful Emi (tabby cat) for two weeks while I was on vacation. I came home to happy healthy clean animal. Once while fostering a very elderly and sickly pooch I enlisted Su for some hands on help while I was away at work. The dog made a number of accidents in my home : puke (not uncommon at the time), bathroom etc. Had Susana never brought it up to me, I'd have never known because everything was already cleaned. And my other animal had been walked twice. Susana is diligent, caring, reliable, and above all else: invested. Highly recommend adding her to your roster.
Susana is great with pets! She often helps care for my cattle dog who can be a challenge at times (high energy and particular). She plans good length outings so that my dog can get her energy out and check out a new environment. She also reinforces the tricks and commands I've taught so that my dog continues working on positive behaviors. Susana is my go to pet caregiver, and my cattle dog adores her!
Sue is my go-to person to watch my dog Snickers whenever I am out of town. She is warm and reliable and was able to bond with Snickers instantly. She takes the best pictures of him and sends me thoughtful updates while I'm away. The time and attention she provides go above and beyond and make me feel safe and assured that Snickers is in great hands while I'm away. I couldn't recommend her enough -- You and your pups would be lucky to receive her care!

I prefer to meet the pets I care for at least once before the scheduled appointments. It's important for me to build a foundation of trust with them and to understand what their routine and home life looks like so that I can do my best to provide a continuity of care for them while their people are not around.
