Hello, my name is Susie. I have a lifetime of experience as a pet owner, and have extensive experience caring for all types of animals. I currently have a middle-aged cat named Patchy, and previously had a cat named Princess who lived until she was 21 years old. I also used to have a Bloodhound and a Black Lab/Shephard mix, so I am very confident with dogs, big and small. My Bloodhound was a rescue and had many fears and medical issues, so I am used to caring for an animal with special needs. In addition, my Lab lived a long life and needed a great deal of care during her senior years due to arthritis, so I am experienced and compassionate about providing love and care to senior pets, as well as younger ones. During the pandemic I worked at a dog grooming shop where I washed dogs, and had a chance to work with many types of dogs, and made sure that they were as comfortable as possible while visiting the groomers.

I also worked as a Live Animal Education Facilitator for 15 years, during which time I provided educational and hands-on experiences for children and adults with a variety of animals, including mammals, ( ex. rabbits, guinea Pigs, rodents, ground squirrels, Sugar Gliders, chinchillas ) reptiles ( ex. lizards, geckos, turtles, snakes) amphibians (ex. Salamanders, frogs) birds, ( ex doves, chickens) so I am comfortable caring for pretty much any type of animal.

I have been a home owner for 30 years, so you can be confident that I will be able to take care of your home, just as well as I will care for your sweet animals.

During the school year I work as a supply teacher for preschool children, so I have lots of time to help you out, and provide you with the comfort of knowing that your pet/s are in very experienced and loving hands.
