“Suzanne and her husband took great care of our pup, even as he became ill. How much she cares is truly uncommon and so appreciated. I want to note how she even took care of our home, cleaning up after the sick pup. Maury looks forward to the next time Suzanne is coming over for a walk!”

About: I’ve taken care of numerous pets since childhood (some of my families, friends, and breeders). I LOVE them all. I’ve had cats, dogs, birds (parakeets, lovebirds, cockatiels), rabbits, fish, and guinea pigs. Have worked as a vet tech and have a very strong family background in dog training and agility as well as a strong interest in veterinarian medicine. I work from home most of the time and schedule is flexible. The weekend we are usually here. Will be able to take care of pets throughout the entire day. Currently, we are in an apartment with first floor access to grass. We do have a fenced dog yard across from us and a larger fenced dog park walking distance within the apartment complex. We have an 8 month Australian Shepherd who is absolutely obsessed playing with other dogs! Has never ever shown any aggression towards any dogs, large and small. If keeping your dog with us, can provide bathing.
About: I grew up around animals of all kinds, but find myself most comfortable with dogs and cats. I have two dogs and three cats currently, two of the five being seniors.

Both my dogs and cats are on a feeding schedule which I strictly follow. I am familiar with routine and prioritize safety and comfort.

About: I have been around animals since I was born. I have trained every single one of my dogs since I can remember. I love bringing dogs to dog parks or on hikes if you/ they are okay with it. Animals have always become very attached to me when they meet me so I wouldn't be able to let you or your pets down. I am always very approachable to all animals so that they don't feel as if they're at harm. I wish to treat your dog(s)/ cat(s)/ reptiles/ rodents just as I treat mine and I hope to be able to spend a lot of unforgettable time with them to gain a forever friendship. I also offer kitty services! I have a MaineCoon of my own, who is my best friend of course. My friends call me “the animal whisperer” because even the most anxious animals love and trust me. Can’t wait to cuddle your pup/kitty. I am very aware of COVID and will be sure to leave your home COVID free and clean every surface I have touched before I leave your home while also being fully vaccinated.

As for Saturday and Sunday I can be at your service mostly full time. I am able to crate your dog if needed, and we can go on great hikes if they’d enjoy! I would take any precaution that you have while being at your house for the safety of your animals. I understand how stressful it is leaving your animal with someone else but rest assured I will communicate of any concerns (even the small ones) as that is important.
