About Susan

As of September 2020 I will be no longer accepting new clients. Thank you for all of your support and trusting me with care of your pets! ☺

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

As an animal lover, I completely understand that you want to entrust your pets to someone who is reliable and will take care of your pets just like they would their own. Because I love animals so much, I have centered my time and career around them. I am a Certified Animal Massage Therapist with my own company called Mind Body Tail Animal Massage.

I also have my Walks and Wags Pet First Aid and CPR training. I am also certified in Animal Acupressure and Usui Animal Reiki. I have my own pets; my 3 “foster-fail” cats, Karma (4 yrs), Batman & his sister Mochi who are 1 year old.

I feed my cats raw food, and am comfortable handling it.We are experienced with fussy kitties as well, as my hubby and I also foster cats and kittens through Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association (VOKRA). I am also a North Shore volunteer cat & kitten vaccinator for VOKRA.

I have a lot of experience with pets as I have been surrounded by pets all of my life and grew up having my own dogs, cats, hamsters, a rabbit, a budgie, finches, turtles, lots of fish, even a scorpion and some reptiles (Anoles and Leopard Gecko)! When I was in my 20’s, I worked in a pet store for 5 years and have taken care of many pets-to-be. I also had a horse sanctuary next door where I grew up and I took care of my own leased horse from there and I did Trail Guiding at a local Trail Riding Stable.

What you can expect with my services:

Daily Home visits will be about 30 minutes once or twice a day and includes feeding, administering medication or supplements, cleaning litter boxes or pee mats, and playing/hanging out with your pet. I will send photos of your pet by text or email, just let me know your preference!

If you're away longer than just for the day, I am also happy to pick up your mail, newspaper, water your house plants, turn on/off lights so it looks like someone is home.

Please note that my booking availability is limited so that I can ensure I have enough time for your pets and mine! However, please reach out with any inquiries and I can see what we can work out! Also, let me know if you have questions about animal massage, acupressure or Reiki!

As part of my pet sitting, I am happy to arrange a free meet and greet, I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

Susan is wonderful, and my fur kitties think so too. She picks up things I missed, like one of my kitties had an over grown nail, I don’t know how I missed but she found it and fixed it. She communicates very well, and most all I can stop worrying once she takes over and can enjoy my trip. I highly recommend her 👍🏻
