I LOVE ANIMALS.
Pet care experience
I grew up taking care of my own dogs and loving on other people’s dogs. Even when I’m dinning at a restaurant, I get distracted if there’s a dog nearby. I regularly board dogs for friends, clients, and family members at my apartment. I enjoy having them at my place to ease the worry of being away from their owner(s). I usually walk dogs between 3-6 miles a day. More or less depending on owner preference. I love playing, walking, feeding, and really anything to do with dogs. I currently work from home and can readily be there for a dog that is staying with me. I live in a one bedroom with no roommates. I do not typically give human food to dogs and I try to prevent dogs I’m watching from interacting with other dogs during walks. I try to keep your dogs schedule as consistent as possible to his/her normal routine. Please let me know when your dog usually eats, how often you take him out, how long your typical walks are, what your dogs favorite toys are etc. Please let me know anything else that you think is important. I will give your dog tons of love and affection while you’re gone!!

Susan was great! I had her walk my puppy and she was communicative, attentive, took lots of pictures, and felt detailed comments. I’d recommend!
Thank you so so much! Murphy loved ? his walk ? ? & extra special care ❤️
Susan does a fantastic job each time she has watched my pitbull Paisley. She's very compassionate and understands that its not easy for you to be away from your dog! She's consistent with sending photos and giving updates which eases the separation! Susan goes above and beyond for your dog! I highly recommend Susan!
Sue is amazing. Having a senior dog that has an extensive diet and medication protocol, it can be insanely stressful having someone watch your very high maintenance pup. Our husky is our world, and we are absolutely the type of dog parents that include a packet of directions and want constant updates. Sue went ABOVE and BEYOND sending us updates, photos, and a really thorough recap of the entire day including everything from behaviors, stool firmness, to eating habits. She is very conscious of walking him in areas that suite his personality and understands that while she is out walking your dog, safety is the most important thing. A lot of people don't understand proper leash etiquette but Sue is just a natural. Literally the best kind of person to watch your dog. I have had some really bad experiences through Rover, but Sue is a godsend and is the reason why Rover exists. She is literally amazing.

Safety, trust & environment
I allow dogs on the furniture. I think this helps them be calmer and feel comfortable in my space. I love to place and relax on the couch with pups.
Information Susan B. would like to know about your pet
I would prefer dogs to be potty trained. I would like to know the dogs normal feeding and walking schedule, so that I can be as consistent as possible with the dogs normal routine.
A typical day
We will go on walks around the neighborhood and on lakeshore. I love playing fetch and playing with toys down my hallway. Snuggling up with dogs on the couch is always nice!

I currently work from home. I can easily walk dogs during the morning, my lunch break, and after work. Maybe between meetings if I’m free.
