Information Suzanne V. would like to know about your pet

I can handle most situations, but it is helpful to know ahead of time about any known issues, such as lunging at other dogs, aversion to children, fears, etc....

A typical day

As per owners permission, I like to hike, walk the beach, go to the dog park(s), throw a ball/toy, tug of war, hug, kiss, pet, and can perform grooming necessities for an extra fee. I walk fast, which most dogs really like!

Suzanne was everything you’d want in a dog sitter—a lifetime of experience with animals, including emergency care—she’s responsible, a good communicator, and great with the dogs. I left my home and precious pups without a worry. A good dog sitter has to be about more than your dogs liking them. Suzanne’s background with animals, her wealth of knowledge and decades of experience make her the ideal pet sitter.
