Information Suzanne J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any allergies or special needs to be aware of. It would also be important to be informed of any potential behavioral issues to look out for on walks.

A typical day

We will wake up early and head out for a 20-30 minute walk. I love walking around the neighborhood or by the lakefront. There will be at least 2 more potty breaks and another longer walk depending on your dog’s energy level. I’ll also play with your dog if toys are dropped off as well as give them lots of love and attention.

Pet care experience

While I don't currently own a dog, I have a ton of experience with my late fur baby, a 70 lb lab mix named Goliath. I cared for him for 12 years. I gave medication to him daily as well as constant attention. Later in his life, I assisted walking him with a walking harness. My friends and family have all entrusted me to care for their dogs over the years as well.

Suzanne took great care of our dog - lots of nice walks and plenty of photos/updates. We would happily rebook with her in the future.

Suzanne took care of both of our pups over the holidays. She sent messages asking questions and keeping us informed. We appreciate her patience with our younger dog who can be anxious sometimes.

Suzanne is the best! She was patient, positive and very accomodating. She checked in frequently and kept us posted on how things were going and if she needed anything. Watching two dogs at once can be a handful, but she took it in stride. The dogs absolutely love her, and we're just so grateful we found her.
