About
I personalize each visit to the pet and families' needs. I also do not do pack walking which can be potentially dangerous if pets from different families do not get along. As a trainer I can read your dog's body language and avoid stress that can result in aggression, fearfulness and other behavior issues. I come to your home where pets are usually most relaxed.
I do offer discounts for seniors that can not get out to walk their dogs themselves and need help.
I love meeting other dog lovers and have never met a dog I didn't like!

Susan is an excellent companion for my dog! She's thorough, lets me know how my dog is doing and gives him excellent care on walks.

Susan was a great walker for my little guy. She was always there in a timely manner and took care of Jessie like I would. I wish we weren't moving or we would have definitely continued services. Jessie loved Susan and he's a tough guy to please ;-)

Susan has been fabulous. She is flexible and very responsive and always leaves us an update on how the walk went. Very professional and great rates, can't recommend her enough!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My prices are for a basic service visit for one dog. I charge $5 per dog for each extra dog; however some discounts are available to multi-pet homes depending on the services provided during your time slot.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We must have a meet and greet with pet, pet parents and myself before I will accept a new client or start any services. As with almost everything these days there are forms that must be filled out before services start. If the meet and greet goes well services can start within a week.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a certified dog trainer and am good at reading most pets body language. I focus more on the pet sitting and dog walking services now instead of training, but that experience helps me keep your pet safe and happy during my visits.
