I am an avid pet lover. I presently live with 2 dogs and 3 cats. Life without pets is unimaginable to me. I enjoy meeting other people's pets. It would be enjoyable and rewarding to help someone care for their animals when they are unavailable.

"Recently Susan cared for my 9 year old Brittany spaniel while I was on vacation. My dog is not used to being left behind. She was well cared for and did not come home stressed out like before when we had left her at a kennel overnight.
Thanks Susan!"
