Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm—I plan my day around feeding, exercise, and medical needs, ensuring each pet gets consistent, attentive care. However, I do outside of the home and have live cameras to ensure complete safety.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your established routine to keep your animal feeling safe and stress-free. I maintain consistent feeding times, administer medications as directed, provide walks and enrichment, and keep the home tidy during my stay. I carefully observe behavior and appetite, send regular updates, and make sure your pet receives the same love and attention you give them. My goal is to maintain comfort, structure, and security while you’re away.

Information Suzanne D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know in advance for any special needs your child may need. It is with the upmost importance to plan that in advance and make sure I have the vet ahead of time.

A typical day

I enjoy to stimulate your children with exercise and play. When they are with me on holidays they get the full holiday dinner. We walk, run, and play and maybe even take a ride to the park.

Suzanne has a great love and compassion for animals. She treats all pets as if they were her own. I have no hesitation recommending her as a pet care giver.
