Pet care experience

I love dogs.

I have had dogs all of my life and consider them people. Often I’ve had two at a time. I have experienced puppies and older dogs at the end of their lives. I love them all though prefer mature dogs. I have also experienced all sorts of dog medical maladies and all kinds of medical treatments. I am currently a volunteer at the Tri Valley Animal Rescue.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 26, 2026

Susan was wonderful with Charlie! This was our first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous leaving him with someone new, but Susan immediately put us at ease. She is such a sweet and caring person, and Charlie warmed up to her quickly. Susan sent updates and adorable photos throughout the day, took Charlie on walks, gave him lots of attention, and made sure he was safe and comfortable in her home. She was very responsive, accommodating, and asked thoughtful questions about Charlie’s routine and preferences. Her calm, loving energy truly stood out❤️ Charlie came home happy and relaxed, and I absolutely trust Susan to watch him again. She is reliable, kind, patient, and cares for pets like family. I highly recommend Susan to anyone looking for a sitter who will give their dog the love and care they deserve.

Susan is a Terrific pet sitter! She kept us updated daily with pictures and highlights. She is an experienced dog lover who we felt very comfortable with watching our aging Frenchie🐶

So happy to have Susan watch our 2 Boston Terrier’s. We were in contact before and during their stay, she sent photos and nightly updates which I appreciated. She has many walking trails near her well kept home and a small outside area that the dogs loved to sun bathe. I would definitely trust Susan with our dogs next time we need help!

Doggy Day Care • Mar 26, 2026

This was our second experience with Susan in just a month—this time for daycare—and it confirmed everything we already felt about her. The moment Mochi’s paws touched the grass, she knew where she was. She sprinted to the front door, then to the garage looking for Susan, then back again—at one point even trying to crawl under the gate to get to her! It was hilarious, heart-melting, and such a clear sign of how special Susan is to her. Mochi absolutely adores her. At pickup, Mochi was happy to see me—but then ran right back to Susan for one last cuddle. It was priceless. Susan truly understands the perfect dog equation: a well-exercised + mentally stimulated + loved dog = a happy, content, and tired pup. Mochi was snoring the moment we got home! Whether you need daycare or an overnight stay, Susan is, without a doubt, the one.

Boarding • Mar 26, 2026

Susan was our first Rover sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. After meeting a few sitters, our dog immediately connected with Susan—and since Mochi only gives cuddles to very special people, I knew she was the one. We boarded Mochi with Susan for a few nights while we were away, and she was incredibly attentive to her needs. She took her on daily walks, played lots of ball with her—Mochi is a serious ball-aholic—and, most importantly, loved her like her own. She also sent updates and photos, which meant so much to us. At one point, I even joked that she shouldn’t spoil Mochi too much or she’d go into Susan withdrawal when she got home… and honestly, she did the next day! Susan is an absolute gem. We highly recommend her without hesitation and are so grateful she made Mochi’s first Rover stay such a happy and memorable one.

I have known Susan for nearly 15 years and can attest to the fact that’s she’s a lovely, caring person. With respect to animals, Susan is one of the best pet humans I know. She took exceptional care of her own pets and I completely trust her with my own. Her home is pet friendly and our neighborhood is very well suited for walks. Susan would be a wonderful addition to the Rover team.

Safety, trust & environment

I am retired and available 24/7 for the care of your dog. I love to walk. If the dog is accustomed to sleeping in your bed I am wide open to that or crated if that is what the dog is used to.

A typical day

I am accustomed to three walks a day. A long morning walk, a long walk about mid afternoon and then a pre-bedtime walk. The dogs condition determines length of the walks.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time
Susan can host up to 1 pet per night
I am accustomed to about a 40 lb dog. I am always aware that it is the dogs walk, not mine and so patience with sniffing is primary.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
