Best Purr, Tail Waggers and House Sitter

64, Mostly retired

Hello,
Here to take care of your pet(s) and home lovingly and reliably. Looking for purrfect cuddles and great tail wags.

I have been a cat mother for three cats and lost my handsome cat Charlie recently. I am untethered and am looking to care for others fur babies and their homes. I have had a myriad of jobs over the years with a number of them being a Nanny for a few families. Up until last fall (23) most of my pet and house-sitting experience has been for those families and their acquaintances. I am very respectful of their homes and their private spaces. I also made my footprint in their homes very small. A few of them asking me if I had actually stayed there.
I am a nonsmoker and do not drink.
I would like to do the majority of my sits in the most western states from the coast to Utah. I am loosely based in Sacramento California. You will find my reference letters below.
I'd love to be that person you entrust your pets and home to.
Until we meet be well!!!
Susan

Reference letters

Hi Linda, 




Yes, Susan has house sat for me and cared for my cats as well. 
Susan is very respectful, dependable, clean and honest. 
I have personally known Susan for over 30 years and have to say she is one of the best humans I know. 
There would be no one that I would trust more to care for my home, property, animals or children. 

Please feel free to contact me if you have anymore specific questions. 


Sincerely, 

 
Cyndi Thompson 


Good morning Linda, 


I have known Susan for over 20 years. We first met while working at a movie theater in Elk Grove, California. She started a month before me and about two months after I started we both were promoted to assistant manager together due to our great work ethics. Although our time together at the movie theater only lasted a couple years, we remained great friends ever since and her work ethic still stands strong. 

In the time I’ve known Susan, she has accepted many caretaking positions for homes, pets and children. Most often the people she would sit for were friends and family or people that she was referred to by friends and family. On several occasions, Susan has house and pet sat for me while I was away. I only trust a few people to care for my animals and Susan is definitely one I have always trusted. 

When Susan house and pet sits for me, she leaves the house as she found it or often better than she found it. I know that she will communicate with me if needed and will respond to me promptly if I reach out to her. When pet sitting for me, Susan does an exceptional job. She has sat up to three animals (2 dogs, 1 cat) for me. Tasks have included feeding, cleaning a litter box, administering medicine to the pets (orally) and providing love and attention. When house sitting for me, Susan has tended to plants, brought in mail and packages, put out/brought in trash cans on trash day, and put out payment for the gardener. If something were to happen to my pets or property, I know Susan would let me know right away and would do what she can on her end as we resolve the situation together. 

I highly recommend Susan for any home or pet caregiving position that she may apply for. 

Please feel free to contact me if you have questions.

Thank you Linda. 
As mentioned, here is a reference for Susan Lerwill.  

 
Susan has been our nanny since 2019.  She started with us as a full time live-in nanny in May of 2019 watching our 2 daughters.  At the time they were 8 months & 2 years old.  She possesses an excellent set of qualities that make her an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a reliable and caring house sitter.  

Susan's tidiness and cleanliness are truly commendable.  She maintains a clean and organized environment, ensuring the utmost comfort for both our daughters and our home.  Her punctuality is impeccable, always starting on time and fulfilling her responsibilities without fail.   

Reliability is one of her strongest attributes.  She consistently follows directions with precision, demonstrating a keen ability to adapt and cater to the specific needs of our girls.  Her past experience in taking care of children, combined with her nurturing and loving nature, reassures us that our daughters are in the best hands.  Her 4 years as our nanny highlight her excellent rapport with kids, showcasing her patience, kindness, and ability to create a positive and engaging environment.   

As a roommate who has lived with us, Susan has proven to be a reliable and considerate presence in our household.  Her commitment to her responsibilities and her caring nature make her an exceptional choice for pet sitting.  

In summary, I wholeheartedly recommend Susan for any house sitting/pet sitting position.  Her tidiness, punctuality, reliability, caring and loving nature, ability to follow directions, experience with animals, interactions with children, and her positive roommate experience all contribute to her qualifications.   

Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or require additional information.   

Best Regards, 
Mindy Rice

Susan is a wonderful pet sitter who sat for my 2 older cats in our home 6/12-9/13. Susan accepted my sit request 6 months out & checked in with me often to ensure that plans hadn’t changed. Great communicator! She sent pics & videos of my cats often and I knew they were in great hands, making me less anxious about being gone. The ultimate cat whisperer! She cuddled/loved my cat who craves affection & had a gentle way of luring my shy cat out of hiding to enjoy being pet & loved. We returned ... MORE

I am so impressed with Susan. Our little dog got sick and Susan took excellent care of her and communicated perfectly. When we got home the house looked great and our little dog was very happy. I could see they bonded. You would be lucky to get Susan if you can. I would have her again for sure.

VERY GOOD AND KIND
 
RICHARD ( California, Dec 2023 - 5 nights)
We feel very grateful to be the first to issue a review for Susan. Susan’s attention to Mosel in feeding and daily walks, had our dog appearing younger than when we left on our trip. We arrived home to a spotless household, everything in order. And, Susan must have a ‘’green” thumb, for our plants were doing great! Susan answered our request for house sitting without having reviews, however through our personal conversations with her, we felt very comfortable in accepting her application – ... MORE
