Outgoing and dedicated animal lover
Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Susie(: I was raised as an avid animal lover and promise to love your fur baby as my own! I have two cats and a couple fish of my own and love them with all my heart! I have had 20+ years of experience caring for dogs, cats, fish, horses, and a bunch of other creatures. I am confident and comfortable taking care of any animal of any shape, size, or species. Caring for animals is a passion of mine and I can’t wait to have the opportunity to meet and care for your furever friend!! Animals are something I can’t live without and so I will take my job as your pet’s carer very seriously. They will love me just as much as you will!! I guarantee it! Pets are a daily thing for me. If I don’t see my cats or play with some kind of animal everyday, I go crazy! Lol I love all animals and their care is a daily passion for me. I have two awesome cats, one LOVES other animal friends, and the other just keeps to herself. We have space to play and a dog park right next door to my apartment building. I also have my own car with room for crates, and/or any size dog etc. I live right next to Lake Washington and have lots of close trails nearby for walks(:
Reviews
Susie was great with my pets! She was very communicative and took excellent care of them. We will definitely be hiring her again!
I have already hired her again! I was so worried about leaving my dog and he was perfectly taken care of. She adapted to his needs and loved him like her own. She was awesome!
I would trust Susie with my pets, totally. She has a love for all living things and relates so well to cats and dogs. She is responsible and knowledgeable about animals, and they seem to know that. My dog sits on her feet.

As a vetted foster parent for the humane society my home has been inspected and cleared for animal care. My apartment is pet proofed and safe. Even though I don’t have a fenced yard, I have long leashes that allows the dogs to run and have fun outside in the field next to my building. There’s also a dog park a few minutes from my building. When caring for an animal in your home, I make sure to follow ALL instructions to the T. And I always take care to lock doors and take safety precautions whenever I am there. I am happy to stay overnight if that’s what your animal needs or just drop by when necessary for their care. I’m also happy to do other things around the house when necessary if asked.
Home
Information Susie S. would like to know about your pet
I’m partial to cats, big dogs, and fish but will never pass up the chance to care for a little dog or any other creature either. Before each booking, I would just like to have a brief description of their likes, dislikes, fears, obsessions, tendencies, and food restrictions of each pet I care for so that I can assure their every need is being met. BOARDING: I will only take home dogs/cats that are house/litter box trained, good with my two cats (one of my cats loves dogs, the other one not so much haha), and are not avid barkers or scratchers. Kennel trained is a plus. I have an unfenced yard for pottying, a dog park down the street, and plenty of litter boxes. I can also board any small caged/tanked animals upon discussion and approval. I have experience with lots of different species (eg. rodents, reptiles, fish, small mammals, etc.) I don’t board birds though, my kitties like them a little too much haha that all being said, I’m happy to come care for any animals at your own home, anytime! (:
A typical day
I come attached to a great arm and so if your furry friend loves to fetch, I’ve gotcha covered! My cat Meeko is OBSESSED with fetching so I’ve definitely had practice entertaining his obsession. I also try to encourage good walk behavior (such as sitting before crossing the road, not pulling too hard, staying close while passing people or dogs, not barking at passerbys, etc.) and will often bring small treats to reward your pet’s good deeds.

Availability
I have pretty flexible hours and am almost always free in the afternoons/evenings to give my full attention to your little loves. Whether they stay with me or I come to them, when I take on a job their care is my first priority during the duration of my watch. I occasionally foster puppies for the humane society as well (I don’t overlap care though, so just know when I have your pet they have my full attention) so I’m well equipped with doggie goodies at home and my cats are used to the occasional visitor. I love to help with socialization too and with permission I like to take the dogs to meet friends and socialize at dog parks or on hikes. I love to take furry friends on drives around the lake and explore when weather and time allows too. Pretty much whatever you’re comfortable with them doing, I’m down to make their time with me memorable and enjoyable.
