Pet Care and Walking
The
Dog
Nose
​
If you were to ask my parents, they would say there were too many animals in the house growing up! I have been surrounding myself with animals since a very young age. From rodents to birds to dogs to cats to horses, and yes, even a reptile or two.
I have never met an animal I didn’t love. I spent years riding and showing horses and have worked with multiple dog trainers, handlers and rescues. I truly understand how to best care for and work with an array of pets.
​
I understand no two animals are alike and I take the time to ‘mesh’ with your animal’s individual personality, I am dedicated to your pet's well-being and happiness.

"Susan has cared for Jasper, my cat, for many years. I am always comfortable leaving Jasper in her care and know he will be fed, played with and loved while I am away.
There is no one I would trust more with access to my home and to ensure Jasper is well taken care of. I would highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for a dog walking or pet sitting service."
