Loving Care!

Pet care experience

I have many years of experience taking care of dogs of many breeds and temperaments, from pugs to Bernese Mountain dogs, as well as my own Irish Setters. I have trained puppies and cared for senior dogs: my last 2 dogs lived to be 17 and 15 respectively. I know that caring for special needs dogs and senior dogs means paying close attention to their comfort and what they need assistance with, including a quiet, stress-free environment, and all the extra kindness they deserve. What it comes down to is this: you want to know your dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I promise that will be true.

Susie was great with our two goofy Golden Retrievers. We even learned a thing or two about toning down their exuberant greetings! Highly recommended.

Susie did a fantastic job caring for our 2 GSD’s! Really appreciated her attention to detail and commitment in caring for our dogs. Susie is new to Port Townsend so it was our first time using her, but we immediately felt dogs and chickens were in safe hands the entire time we were away. Susie, also shared photos from daily walks and worked well with our reactive older dog who is going blind. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Susie again. I have no doubt she’s going to book up fast on Rover.

Susie was so great with Marshmallow… She sent pictures and gave an update everyday. She treated Marshmallow like he was her own pup. ?

My husband and I were the proud owners of a very high-spirited Vizsla, Ginger, and we always called on Susie to care for her when we left town. We knew that Susie possessed the required skills to handle our dog and her particular Vizsla behavioral eccentricities, based on our personal experience seeing her handle her own Irish Setters, as well as the multiple dogs that she was in charge of in that controlled group dynamic of the dog sitting environment. We were confident that Susie’s calm authority was the best solution for our dog, and we were always completely satisfied and relieved to leave Ginger in Susie’s care. We knew that there would be multiple long walks, fun play with quiet time to recover, appropriate discipline and earned treats. The skill that Susie brings to the table from her years of experience is something to consider, and I encourage you to jump at the opportunity to work with her. My husband and I recommend her highly and without reservation.

I currently dedicate my time to caring for your pets - I have no other profession currently, although I was a teacher for many years! I spend the vast majority of the day with your animals, including all overnight stays required. I love to walk, so giving your dog exercise is always a pleasure. I am with special needs dogs, including giving medications.
