Flexible, Friendly Sitter
Pet care experience
I enjoy being around animals, especially dogs. The happiness in their faces is contagious! I’m friendly and love to socialize, and I’ve always felt compelled to provide a home for pups in need. In fact, nothing brings me more joy. My backyard is a pup paradise, with a pup pool for summer splashing and a large, fenced area for running and roaming. It also faces a nature preserve where you can see deer grazing all day long. Buddy, my dog, loves to chase cars along the fence. We also enjoy going for car rides, taking walks, or relaxing around the house. I love all breeds of dogs. I’ve owned several throughout my life, from big dogs like a German Shepherd down to a little Dachshund. Most have come to me from shelters; Buddy was homeless before I found him. I’ve also had a dog with allergies, medication requirements--including shots--and special dietary needs, so I know how to look after dogs with health concerns. Plus, there are no stairs inside my home, so older or arthritic dogs will feel completely comfortable! I love playing cards, listening to music, and playing with my grandkids and Buddy at the park. I’ve spent my life working with people with mental disabilities, both in schools and in my home. My daughter and her kids like to visit; she has worked at a boarding facility, fostered pups, and has two medium-sized dogs of her own. I’m flexible, friendly, and sincere. My calm demeanor and ability to empathize with pups helps me keep them calm, and provide great support for separation anxiety, behavioral issues, and other concerns. It’s important to me that both you and your pup feel confident and comfortable about the stay; I will always put your needs ahead of my own and follow your guidance carefully.
Reviews
Suzanne was wonderful with our pup when she watched him for two nights. Highly recommend!!
Suzanne was great to work with! She responded to our request for booking promptly and had a flexible schedule for drop off and pick up. Suzanne took great care of our pup while we were away! She sent pictures of him daily and we could tell he definitely enjoyed himself at her place.
Suzanne is great! She helped me out when I was in a pinch, and agreed to watch my dog for over a week the first time booked, with not much notice on my end....she was flexible with pick-up/drop-off times, and sent me cute pic updates every day. Would definitely use again - Thanks again Suzanne!
I left my 12 week old Siberian Husky with Suzanne for 8 nights. Suzanne is very nice and her dog got along great with Miska. She sent pics and updates daily and answered any questions I had immediately. Miska didn't want to leave!
