About: I have been passionate about animals from a very young age and have been working hands-on with them for 11 years in a variety of settings, including grooming, doggy daycare, dog training, pet sitting, dog walking, and the veterinary field. I am certified in positive reinforcement dog training, as well as pet first aid and CPR. My experience in both veterinary and training environments has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, body language, and stress signals, allowing me to adapt to each dog’s individual needs. Whether working with energetic puppies, shy or nervous dogs, seniors, or high-drive breeds, I focus on creating positive, structured, and enriching experiences that help dogs feel safe, confident, and happy while giving owners peace of mind. I’m currently available for dog walks Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 11am–5pm, and Tuesdays from 9am–2pm. I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely passionate about animals, so I always make sure each dog gets the exercise, attention, mental stimulation, and care they need during our time together. I always prioritize safety, patience, and positive reinforcement. I pay close attention to each dog’s comfort level, body language, and individual needs while making sure they stay safe. I also have experience handling dogs with different temperaments and energy levels, and I’ll always treat your pet like my own.

I understand the importance of dedication and commitment required to looking after your precious pets and would be honored in walking, feeding, and providing endless love and attention to them!

About: My family and I all love animals, so we applied to be pet's sitters at home care. We have a independent house with a yard, and there will always be someone at home 24 hours a day. The pets can move freely at home without too many restrictions. We have regularly clean to the house to ensure the clean and hygiene environment for all pets. I have over a year of experience in taking care of cats and over six years of experience in taking care of dogs. The longest time I took care of a cat was for two months. At the beginning, the cat would hide under the sofa for a week, but lately he became completely unrestrained and would lie on the bed together, play hide-and-seek with me, and explore every corner of the house. When the weather was good, the dogs could play freely in the yard. Welcome all cats and dogsto my home, we are the best friends of your pets! We can keep daily routine for all pet's. I am working part-time on weekends and I will come back at 4PM , but my family members are off on weekends. And my family members and I take care of all pets together. We have a independent house with a yard, and there will always be someone at home 24 hours a day. The pets can move freely at home without too many restrictions.

“Susan is wonderful. We needed a last minute drop-in visit due to a work schedule change and Susan came to our rescue. Susan was professional and prompt in her responses. We received a full and timely update on Rico. We highly recommend her and would book again if she is available. Thank you Susan!”

About: I am a mom of 2 amazing kids, and 2 fur babies. I have been around animals my entire life and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve raised and house-trained my own puppies, so I’m comfortable with routines, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and multi-pet households, and can follow specific feeding schedules, dietary needs, and basic medication routines if needed. I’m happy to provide regular photo updates and check-ins for peace of mind. Whether your pet is active and loves long walks or prefers a calm, snuggly environment, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Pet care fits easily into our daily routine. I work full-time, but pets are never left alone for long periods. On weekends, I am fully available and love spending that time with the animals in my care. When we’re home, dogs have free rein of our secure backyard and plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and playtime. We also truly enjoy downtime with pets—whether that’s relaxing together, giving attention, or just letting them feel comfortable and at home. We make sure every pet gets the right balance of activity, care, and affection based on their needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. In my home, I have a fully fenced-in backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time and play. Pets are always supervised outside, and I make sure the environment is secure at all times. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys playing with other dogs, as well as a calm cat who keeps to herself and does not interfere with visiting pets. I’m mindful of introductions and always prioritize a safe, low-stress environment for everyone. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine exactly—whether that means crating, free roam, specific feeding schedules, exercise needs, or any special instructions. I keep a clean, pet-safe home and pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’m respectful of your space and will maintain your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I also provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands.

I can’t wait to meet your fur baby. 🐾 I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities and always follow their cues and routines. I grew up with a lab/pit mix for 13 years, so I’m especially comfortable caring for senior pets and understanding their unique needs. I’ve cared for dogs for friends and family in home settings and am very comfortable following specific routines, instructions, and special care plans. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m comfortable administering oral medication when needed and always prioritize patience, empathy, and attentiveness to every visit. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing comfort and companionship while you’re away, your pet’s happiness and well being are always my top priority. I also have experience caring for small animals like guinea pigs and rabbits. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member let’s set up a meet and greet! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on availability. I currently offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking (no boarding at my home at this time). Because I do gig work, I can often adjust my day to meet your pet’s routine and needs. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow all instructions closely. I prioritize leash safety, secure entry and exit, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine.
