Pet care experience

Big Fenced Yard in Brighton

After spending a few years abroad, we are once again opening our home and big backyard, and I would love to care for your fur baby. I’m a full-time mom of a 16 year-old boy with lots of time to devote to your pup! We have two dogs in the family. We adopted Ella in January 2016 from a former client. Ella had a hard time adjusting to her new home in NYC. Knowing that Ella loves being in our home and that we love having Ella here, her owner asked if we would like to adopt her. Ella gets along great with other dogs and loves playing, snuggling, and even sharing toys. Kya’s her little sister, Yorkshire terrier who loves other dogs and people. Please know that when you leave your pets with me I will treat them like they are my own. I will always make sure that they are safe, loved, and get lots of exercise. I am always available during your pets' stay and I send lots of photos and videos to put your mind at ease. Additionally, I understand that every dog has a different personality and different rules at home. I will do my best to maintain and reinforce any ongoing training regiments and reward systems.

Just want to say a big Thank You to Susan for taking such great care of Milo. I really appreciate knowing he was being well cared for and enjoying himself. He looked like he settled in well with your family and other dogs. I hope you will be available in the future if plans come up. All our best, Angie, Teaha and of course Milo!

OMG! Susan was amazing! She took great care of my dog, treating her like one of her own. In addition, she sent lots of pictures (and videos) of my pup relaxing and playing with her new friends. I HIGHLY recommend Susan to care for your dog.

Susan was really great about sending pictures and videos of our dog, Riley! He clearly was having an amazing time and it was evident that she treated him as if he were her own. Susan is also very personable and you can tell she loves caring and taking care of dogs. Highly recommend!

Communication was great. My dog was clearly happy during the entire 5 day stay. It’s obvious Susan loves dogs and understands how to care for them. Will definitely book again!

Schedule

I’m a stay at home mom with a 16 year old son so I have lots of time to hangout with your pup. I’ve been off Rover for awhile because I had such a strong clientele but now have room for a few more new pups.

A typical day

I'm an avid runner. If desired, I can take your dog for a run with me. I also have a spacious, fenced back yard that is perfect for a game of fetch.

41 to 100 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Susan can host up to 3 dogs per day
Some notes about my policies, services, and rates: All dogs must be vaccinated (please be prepared to show proof of vaccination), house-broken, and good with other dogs. I have an 13-year old that is very calm, capable, and loves to help out. I cannot accept any dog that is known to be aggressive or experience a high level of anxiety around other dogs. It wouldn’t be a good time for anyone. If your dog has never stayed with us before, and your requested stay duration is five days or more, I require an overnight trial. This helps to ensure that our home is truly a good fit for your pet. Often separation and social anxiety will not surface until bed time. We have found that a trial stay provides a good transition for everyone involved, including your dog! If pick-up time is greater than five hours beyond the time of drop-off, a half day charge will be assessed. Please include preferred pick-up and drop-off times at the time of request to ensure accurate pricing. Please send me a note with any questions.
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.
