Professional pet care in your home

*Thank you for your interest in my profile! As of July 2025, I am now booked through to January 2026 and will not be accepting requests from new clients at this time. Thank you for your understanding and support, and I look forward to continuing to provide excellent care for your fur family in the future!* Hello! My name is Susie and I'd love to hang out with and care for your pets! With a lifetime of personal and ten years of professional experience caring for dogs and cats, I am well-equipped to provide quality full-time care for your family. Having worked in the animal care industry, I am familiar with caring for animals with special needs or who might need a little extra love or attention. Each pet is unique, so my commitment to deliver quality care for yours means adapting my care routine to suit both your and your pet's needs. Other services I can provide during your pet's stay: - trail hikes - bathing, brushing, tidy-up grooming & nail trims - senior/special needs care - small animal and reptile care - housekeeping, landscaping, snow removal - meal prepping and/or grocery shopping for your return - pickup/dropoff at the airport etc. - care during special events (weddings, parties etc) I love animals of all shapes and sizes and I'd love to meet yours! My central service hub is the Hamilton/Brantford area but if you are located further away I am willing to travel to you in most cases - please inquire!

Safety, trust & environment

The needs, health, and safety of the animals is always my top priority. Open communication is key for me, and from a distance you can be as involved or hands off with the care process as you are comfortable with. I can send photos or updates as often as you like or I'm happy to leave you be while you relax on vacation - it's up to you. I am happy to consider special requests too!

Susie is awesome! This was her third time taking care of our cat, Jimmi. He is on daily medication and Susie handled it without any problem. She sent us photos and updates throughout our vacation. It's very comforting to know that your pet is in good hands. We highly recommend Susie!

Susie has been our go-to Pet sitter for the last couple of years. She always provides updates and photos while we are away, our cats love her and she treats them as her own. 10/10 would recommend.

Susie does such an amazing job with our dog Murphy. We know he is cared for and appreciate the updates while away. Our house always looks tidy when we get home and the dinner/treats are an added bonus. Thanks again!

This was Susie's second time looking after our cat, Jimmi. She takes such good care of him and our home. We feel very comfortable knowing that Jimmi is in good hands while we are away.

Hi Susie. I just wanted to say a big thank you for taking such great care of Riesling while I was away. I know he’s always in capable hands with you. I enjoy your daily updates as well. Thank you again – Riesling misses you already!
