About: Dogs have been a significant part of my life, holding a special place in my heart. Growing up, my mother was involved in rescuing dogs, and we even took part in fostering. This experience exposed me to dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I've undergone basic dog training and share my life with a 3-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog named Millie. Prior to Millie, we had a beloved hound dog named Evie, who was a cherished companion for 15 years. My love for dogs spans every age, and I appreciate the unique needs and characteristics that come with each stage of their lives. I currently work from home full-time however, my schedule allows for flexibility through the week day where I can be available for walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and snuggles. I would be happy to come get your pup out for a long walk before you return home. I would be happy to take your pup to a park to walk or around your neighborhood. I have a dog harness for safe traveling. I could also bring your pet to my home to play with my dog for a playdate. We have a nice fenced-in backyard with plenty of room to run. Our dog is wonderful with other dogs as well- big and small.

“For anyone looking for a dog sitter, we can't say enough great things about Siusan, as she was terrific with our two pups, Olli and Burke! Our dogs had never been watched by anyone other than family and friends, and we were a little nervous about how they would react. After the meet and greet, we were confident that our dogs were in great hands! Siusan was very dependable, friendly, and communicative. We loved receiving pictures from each drop-in/play session and could see how happy and well-taken care of our pups under Suisan's care. We will call her without hesitation whenever we need a sitter in the future and highly recommend her services!”
