Information Susannah H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the breed, age and temperament of your dog...whether they have any fears as well as comfort level with other dogs and children.

A typical day

I take guest dogs on regular trail walks as well as to the dog park, depending on their previous socialization. We also have a large fenced in area for dogs to play in and socialize.

Animal Lover Since Birth

Pet care experience

I've always had furry family members ever since I can remember..Spunky, Frisky, Muffin, Mitch and Paddington as a child and now Spirit, Peachy, Link, Shadow, Jesse, Kora and Komo as an adult. I have trained 5 large breed dogs from puppyhood to adulthood and spent my twenties to thirties house and petsitting all over Seattle. From canaries to Pufferfish to chickens, horses and dogs, I have always had an ease with animals and they typically like me. I can't wait to meet your furry family member and get to know his or her personality. I currently work part-time from home so I am very flexible and can spend lots of time with your loved one/pet. I am an avid walker so will be happy to get your dog's Tail on the Trail with me. I have a fenced play area for guest dogs and a separate room for them. Or if you prefer, I can do overnights at your place to make your fur baby feel more at home.

Susannah was incredible with our pup mochi while we were out on an international trip - she sent photos everyday and kept us posted on all things. She took care of our dog and our house really well! Will hire her again!
