About Susan
Experience: 7 yrs
For many years I have taken care of pets for friends & my own. Originally from Ireland where I grew up on a dairy farm with lots of cows. For the past 20+ years I had my own garden landscape business in San Francisco. I'd describe my personality as fun, reliable & outgoing. I like working with animals because they bring great joy to my heart. I'm looking for a job that brings comfort to the owner knowing that their pet is in good hands. I started working with animals when I was a young girl on our family farm, owning my own pets and now volunteering with pets at various shelters etc. In my spare time I like to hike, garden, cycle, art galleries, beach walks. One thing you should know about me is that I really care and love animals and feel intuitively attuned with their needs and wants. My skills include giving lots of love to your pet, taking tip top care of their timely needs by paying the best of attention to them and listening to the owners requests & concerns.
Most recent review
I am proud to say a few words about Susan;-)) She was a lifesaver when I needed last minute help with my new rescue dog Jonathan. While away for a weekend in an emergency, her communication was excellent with me sending loads of pics and videos of my baby. She even surprised me by giving him a bath so that he was all fresh when I returned! Susan is highly dependable, personable and naturally attuned to all things animal (and plant/she has professional gardening and landscaping business on the side going on thirty years!!). I absolutely recommend her to care for your lil buddy(ies) while you are away.
