I am a stay at home mom with heaps of time to go to other people's houses. I make my own schedule every day so I easily adjust as jobs come in. I think it would be a great activity for my children and I. My son is 10 years old and is wild for animals. My daughter is 4 and is fascinated by animals. We don't have any pets right now and miss the time spent with animals. We are flexible to times and days.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat all living beings with love and care. I've only had positive experiences with animals as I am quite confident in my energy around animals. I understand animals moods and boundaries and feel like I can read them. I know when to play aloof and when to be interested.

Information Suzanne B. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to continue with your daily rituals with your pets. I know pets rely on the rhythm of the day that you have set. I am able to adapt and want the pets to feel safe, cared for, loved on, and healthy. So please let me know what you guys already do and I will do my best to mimic that schedule and activity :)

A typical day

I love to give dogs and cats the attention they deserve, especially when their favorite person is away. We will go for walk so they can smell all their neighbors or go on a hike to excite their senses in new territory. Maybe we'll go to the beach for a nice day of fetch and digging. Depends on what kind of animal and what they like to do really. I am an active person so I will include your pet in that. If we're talking cats here, I will be patient with them and give time to sit and pet them, medicine for us both. Or I can wave a feather wand around to get them more exercise. If we're talking snakes I can let it slither around the floor, following it closely, so it can get some cage free time. My kids will think of other fun things to stimulate the animals senses.

Suzanne to the rescue!

Pet care experience

Hello pet lovers! I am Suzanne. A lover of animals, plants, and all living beings. I am a mother of 2 amazing children, Creid and Veda. We are animal loving homeschoolers. I have had pets my whole life. I have heaps of experience with cats, dogs, rodents, birds, chickens, and reptiles. When I was a teenager I house sat all the time and had a great time doing it. I used to work on farms in Central America caring for animals. I have a degree in Endangered Species Management and used to work as a Park Ranger with bears and birds. I am passionate about living sustainably- as close to my roots as possible- for future generations to enjoy this beautiful earth as much (or more!) as I get to.

Suzanne has taken care of our cats many times over the last few years. It is obvious that she loves animals. Our cats act like she is part of the family, which rarely happens with strangers. Suzanne is very organized and dependable. She is punctual, reliable and communicative. She has even given medication to one of our cats and was confident and unabashed about having to do that. Suzanne is a pleasure to work with. She is a trustworthy, compassionate and skilled pet sitter. I never have to worry about her missing appointments or last-minute cancellations. She keeps me updated with regular check-ins and sends photos of my kitties. I always feel assured that everything is going smoothly and as planned when she is watching our cats.

I totally trust Suzanne to take care of my dog Noche and she has taken her in to her home as part of the family. She goes beyond the routine feeding and walks and baths and sits and snuggles with her like her own children. I highly recommend her love and compassion to care for your pet.

Suzanne did a great job with our pup Kal! She was very flexible and easy to work with. She kept in touch while we were away and Kal got plenty of love, attention, and exercise. We’d highly recommend Suzanne and her fun family for your pet sitting needs.

Suzanne is a special person who obviously has a lifelong devotion to animals. Besides being extermely personable she has a deep connection and sensativity to the needs. I don't know how she does it, call it intuition but, my pets (I talked her into taking my cat too ;-) are more calm after she is with them. Love that Woman!!
