Information Sue A. would like to know about your pet

Aggressive toward humans or other pets? If alpha, pls explain tendencies. No breed preferences. I had the most wonderful harmless pitbull for 17 yrs. Fleas? Any ailments? Anything contagious? Let me know if they are not protected against ticks because that will affect where we walk. I live separately from them but have seniors in the same bldg so I can’t take in loud dogs. Let me know if you have any special requests. The more I know about your pet, the better their experience will be.

A typical day

I like to make sure they get enough stimuli (playing, meeting people, going to the pet store for fun, hiking, playing go find it, beach, hikes without a lot of people, massages, beaching, car rides, watching animal shows on TV, I can play guitar or piano for your pet, etc...) Whatever makes them happy! I also have CDs to help them relax and sleep when you are away.

I speak dog, and we have fun!!

Pet care experience

I am there to insure the safety and euphoria of your pet. I often see animals' needs not being met by humans. They are often communicating but ppl aren't listening. I treat pets with the respect they deserve and give them lots of love. I had a dog for 16 yrs and another for 17 yrs. I've been petsitting for decades and have volunteered at a few animal rescue organizations, including fostering rescue dogs that haven't found a home yet and animals evacuated from fires in California. I sit all types of animals and have also hung out with wolves. I will treat your pet like he/she is my own and will gladly send photos of us having a blast. I strive toward getting dogs involved and excited about things, according their personal needs- playing ball, going for a walk, belly rubs, etc... I like for it to be an extraordinary experience.

I was very pleased with my dog Flynns stay with Sue. I received so many updates and photos. So happy. He lived in her home as if he were part of the family.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
