Educated and Experienced
Pet care experience
I have 30 years experience and I love animals! I have taken care of various breeds and trained many of my own ! I currently own a german shorthair pointer and a bluetick coonhound. I also have two cats and two bunnies. I have completed several obedience classes over the years and have a lot of experience at the local dog parks. I have summers off because I am a teacher so I have plenty of flexible time available to work.
Reviews
The kids had a wonderful time with Susie
Susie was very good. I’m sure the dogs liked her more than they do me
Exceptional! Susie took both my dogs out twice in a day because I couldnt be there. She also picked up my package from the leasing office and left it on my counter. It was great coming home to 2 tired Aussies and being able to put my fresh groceries in the fridge that night! She's just awesome!
Susie dogsat/house sat my 3 dogs for a week and got way more than she bargained for! My youngest Golden ate a pair of socks the day before we left on vacation and ended up having emergency surgery the day that we left. Susie coordinated with my mom to have Teddy picked up from surgery and transported to the house, and from there she took care of everything! Susie and her daughter took care of Teddy after surgery as if he was her own! She slept on the couch with him at night since he couldn't go upstairs, took him out on a leash several times a day, gave him his medications at 2 a.m., fed him a special diet, kenneled him, etc., all while managing my other two big dogs. She did a fantastic job and had no qualms about taking care of Teddy. All three of my boys LOVED her and had a great time! She sent pics showing how happy they were, she took the two healthy ones for a walk, and swam with them in the pool. She even picked up pooper-scooped the yard! I would recommend her in a heartbeat and plan to use her services again later this month!

My own dogs go on daily walks they also have a fenced in yard and are trained off leash on our three-quarter acre property. At your home, I am willing to follow whatever routine your dogs are used to including walks or crating if necessary.
Information Susie S. would like to know about your pet
I like to know a dog's daily schedule,their sleep and eating habits, And he stress or anxiety they might experience when you're gone. Any medical information and vet contacts is also important. If there's any little quirks about their personalities that you feel are also important for me to know.
A typical day
We like to take our dogs on walks in different places including nature trails and public places. We occasionally visit dog friendly patios. Our dogs like mini training sessions with sits and stays.... And playing fetch. I'm willing to do whatever your dogs need and enjoy.

During the summer I'm available more because I'm a teacher. During the school year I'm mostly available on weekends and after 4 pm. I can do drop in visits and occasionally do housesitting/dog sitting.
