I have recently stepped away from the everyday 9-5 so I have tons of availability and flexibility. I can typically accommodate your pet needs without much notice. My 22 year old cat recently passed away 😿so I have lots of extra love to give!

Sue was so great with Darla! I loved all the text updates and photos. I could tell Darla was loved while we were away. I will definitely book Sue again.

Sue is an incredible dog sitter! She’s very detail-oriented and wants to know everything about your animals so that she can give them the best care possible. She took great care of our two large dogs while we were gone for a long weekend. She sent updates and photos, left our home clean and in great shape, and even brought our mail in! She also notified us immediately about an issue with our kitchen sink, which we really appreciated. Thank you, Sue! We look forward to having you watch Rocco and Rosie again.

Susan is a kind person who has a great connection with animals. She took great care of Buttercup and left the house so clean for my return! I will certainly be requesting Susan’s help in the future!

Susan was wonderful with Buttercup! She took the time to come over before the booking to meet Buttercup and talk about the schedule. I always appreciate such attention to detail and Buttercup absolutely loved Susan so I new she was in good hands. I've already booked her again and know she'll take great care of my fur baby!

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.
