Susan & Murray looked after Sheila’s pets & home
Susan simply loves all living things, whether they be dogs, hens, birds or any pet that comes across her path. In my opinion, and through my personal observations, Susan is caring, respectful and responsible toward all furry and feathered friends. She is also an excellent communicator with a pet's respective "parents." Susan is detailed-oriented, thorough in her understanding of all the responsibilities and needs associated with each pet. I found Susan to be tidy and organized. She is very earth conscious, enjoys the outdoors, tends extensive and wonderfully productive gardens, and is very physically fit to handle larger pets. I consider Susan trustworthy, discerning and an excellent pet care giver. I would highly recommend Susan as a pet/home sitter.
