Can I pet your dog? ☺️
Pet care experience
I love ALL pets! I grew up on a farm, mostly with big dogs, big cows, and country kitties. As an adult, I have fostered, raised, and sat for every kind of canine from chihuahuas to a domesticated wolf and every wonderful breed in between! I owned a hearing-impaired blue heeler and can teach basic canine sign language commands. I went through puppy school with my corgi and am averse in potty training, teaching beginning commands like sit, stay and look, and am athletic and not afraid of long brisk walks. When my corgi was diagnosed with diabetes, I became adept at administering insulin shots twice daily, and am comfortable giving meds. I adore cats, birds, fish, reptiles of all kinds, and I have extensive experience with snakes. I won’t shy away from any type of pet. I love all of the earth’s creatures. My pets passed several years ago, and since then, when the opportunity presented itself, I have performed in-home pet sitting and stay over services for many satisfied clients. I am happy to provide trusted relief to stressed pet owners worried about their holiday travel plans, or simply worried about their pet getting exercise and stimulation while they are at work or away for the day.
Reviews
Susie did an amazing job walking our dogs. She is patient and caring and helped them get the exercise they need. She was able to manage both dogs with no issues.
Susie is by far the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. Ever! From the initial contact to the final closing out, she took extra care in everything that she did. We felt an immediate rapport with her and felt comfortable leaving our two dogs with her while she cared for them in our home. Susie provided lots of updates, videos, and photos during her stay which meant a lot to us. One of our dogs is very shy and hesitant around new people and we were amazed at how quickly Susie gained her trust. We were able to relax and completely enjoy our vacation knowing our precious pets were in very good hands!
Susie took great care of my pets. She made sure they were loved and well fed.
If there ever was a lover of animals, it's Susie. I've known her for years and in that time she's loved and cared for a snake, many cats, a deaf dog that communicated through sign language and one fluffy and adorable corgi. She has even helped raise and bottle fed a calf. She's devoted to making life good and comfy for the animals she loves and cares for and would make a great sitter for any animal. She's a devoted caregiver and excels at making animals happy. If your pet requires medication or special attention, you can be sure that Susie will do exactly what needs to be done for your baby. I feel extremely comfortable having her care for my animals even for extended periods of time. She is trustworthy and loyal. She's simply the best at showing love and devotion.

I am fully confident with any dog on leash. I know how to maintain calm control over any overzealous walkers, and I have a lot of energy so I don’t mind lots of play! I also understand that pets can become stressed out and depressed when their owners leave or leave them with strangers. This is the best part about in-home sitting… Your pet never has to leave the comfort of their own home. And dogs love me! So I am sure they won’t mind my temporary company!
Information Susie M. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know all about your dog’s demeanor! Are they confident and outgoing or are they introverted and shy around strangers? Do they like lots of exercise or do they just like to chill and cuddle? What treats do they go bonkers for?
A typical day
I love to get in some good pets and a treat or two before leashing up for a walk around the neighborhood, or getting those balls ready for fetch! Eye contact, communication, and love always come first!
