Pet care experience

🐾 Lover of all animals 🐾

I've taken care of animals for over thirty years. I have had cats, dogs, bunnies, chickens, hampsters, rats, mice, snakes, and an alligator snapping turtle (raised him from a half dollar sized baby to adult). In Pine Knoll Shores I am an active Sea Turtle volunteer and my mother is head of the entire program. I have experience with cats and dog that require medications and special slings and braces as well as handicapped pets. I have groomed both cats and dogs, including nail trimming.

Safety, trust & environment

I live just a few blocks from the beach and sound. There are plenty of parks and places to walk and play. My mom is also a pet lover and would give extra love and rubs to all of our wonderful visitors. I do have 2 adult neutered cats. They were declawed on the front paws before I adopted them. They are both fond of other people and animals as well

House Sitting • Dec 30, 2023

Suzanne is a lovely person and she took great care of my dog Rose and my home. I really appreciate her stepping in to help out while I had a family medical issue to deal with in another state. Rose absolutely loved her...When I got home, my pup greeted me but went right back to sit with Suzanne. That was awesome...exactly what I love seeing when I have to leave her. I recommend Suzanne to anyone who wants a sweet, responsible pet sitter.

Suzanne, spoiled Giuseppe. She was a wonderful house guest in our home. It was great not worrying about our pup and our home.

Very responsive and super friendly! Suzanne saved us while on vacation to walk our dog while we were exploring the area. Our dog was very grateful for the break out of the house. Would definitely use her again when we come back.
