Highlights
Pet care experience
Big fenced yard ready for your dog!
Note: Mark and I are looking to move out of state at some point this year. We will go month by month for now. We had originally planned on moving after May but not all ducks are in a row. So right now we will take reservations for August through the end of September as well. I started with Rover fall 2024. Lost my sweet boy in March 2024 and love to get my pet fix by helping out others. I had dogs for the past 24 years and have friends and family members who have left their pets in my care in the past. Currently there are no kids or pets at our home. I am a retired teacher and my husband just retired last March so your pet will get loads of love and attention! And we have a big fenced in yard ready to be used!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Susan and her husband were great with Lacey. They treated her as if she was their own. Susan even slept on the couch by her on the stormy night. I highly recommend her and will use her again when we need her if she's available.
Susan was great! Kept us updated multiple times a day with pics of dog & how she was doing. Would definitely recommend and would use her again.
Pip had so much fun and Susan sent so many videos and updates I felt better about leaving her
Sue and Mark were the perfect people to leave our fur baby with for the week. Their home is so comfortable, and their large, beautiful fenced in yard is the perfect place for a dog to explore. Our pup received so much love and attention while he was there! We looked forward to all the pictures, videos, and updates we received everyday to see all of the fun adventures he was on. From walks in the forest preserve, trips to Silver Springs, and all the love and cuddles he enjoyed, we know he was one happy pup throughout his whole stay. Thank you Sue and Mark for taking such incredible care of Dodger! We truly appreciate it!
Wonderful! As always. Sammy loves Susan
This was our second time leaving Jack with Susan and once again she was great! She sent updates with pictures twice a day and we are so grateful for her wonderful care.

I do volunteer work during the week but the hours and days are flexible for me. I will be working Wednesdays this fall until we move.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Since I am retired and my husband just retired there is always someone to keep an eye on your pet and make sure it is well cared for. We make sure we follow all instructions of the pet owners and give out lots of TLC.
A typical day
I have a big yard and a bin full of dog toys. I can also take them for walks in the neighborhood or local forest preserves if the owner is comfortable with that. I’m also more than happy to snuggle up on the couch.
