DOG HAIR is my GLITTER!!🐾

A little about me: I have been around dogs since I was 8 years old. I’m reliable and trustworthy! I don’t mind puppies, teens, adults, or senior dogs. They will be loved unconditionally at our home! My settings are set for up to two dogs, but if you have three dogs, please reach out and I will try to accommodate you! I would just have to modify my dog count and make sure my family is okay with it :D. If you’re working on training or tricks. I will try my best to help out with that. I have two dogs of my own and they can’t wait to share some play time together. Come by for a visit before hand if you’d like! I’m located 6.2 miles from the Reno-Tahoe Airport in Damonte Ranch, South Reno. If you're in a bind and need a last minute dog sitter... don't hesitate to message me. If I can accommodate you, we can make it work! :D I work part time, so my availability for your drop off and pick up might not work with my work schedule.. so I’m sorry in advance but I will do my best to help you out. Please try to book asap because I’m filling up!!! * My cancelation period is 7 days * Rover will generate a cancellation penalty fee if cancelled under 7 days (If booked, I do take time off work to accommodate schedules when I can). ROVER Seven Day cancellation policy: • A full refund is available if cancelled by 12:00pm one week before the service begins. 12:00pm is determined by the sitter's time zone. • If cancelled later than 12:00pm one week before the stay begins, a 50% refund is available for the first 7 cancelled calendar days from the cancellation request date. A 100% refund is available for any additional days. And remember, all services booked through Rover are covered by the Rover Guarantee. https://www.rover.com/rover-guarantee/. (Which is, if anything would happen, there’s a $250 deductible for Rover insurance). That means if your pup needs vet attention, Rover charges $250 to the pet owner. It will be added/modified on the booking and they supposedly pay the rest of the vet bill. So far, I’ve never had to use this, but it’s there in case of emergencies. We look forward to meeting you and your loved one! 🐶 🐾

Susan is such a professional. She was able to take my dogs in at a last minute request. She has a comfortable home and she and her family treated my dogs as if they were their own. Really pleased! I would use her again.

Susan & her beautiful family took very good care of of my Golden Retriever for a couple of days. She didn't want to leave when it was time to go home!

Schedule

Hello there! 👋🏼 Thank you for considering me for your pup(s) 🐶 stay! As you decide which person is qualified to watch your pet on Rover, please read through all my info! 😊 I have 2 dogs of my own, so I am already in a routine of taking care of them 24/7. My fur-baby children! Feeding, attention, play-time, walking, and medicine (if needed) is no problem. I have a large fenced backyard for potty time and play! I’m here to help in any way I can!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large crate if needed just let me know when booking if you need it or bring your dogs crate, bed, and/or blanket if they are more comfortable in their own safe place. I fill/change out water bowls as needed all day. All dogs will be separated when they eat just in case of allergies/territorial issues. I also have two dogs ready to play! I have a large backyard that is fenced. Perfect For sun bathing on the pavers or in the grass. I keep the doors locked unless we all go outside. If outside, I will be out there with them no matter what time it is.. Safety matters. We also have a front gated patio area to lounge in and people/car watch!

Sometimes we see Wild horses on our walks! My dogs love to play we have a ton of toys to play with. My dogs also love to SLEEP! Naps are a must for them- they can't help it!! I also have pavers and grass in the backyard to sun bathe and relax in! We can take sunset walks too if needed. And snuggles at night. Baths if requested through booking. Please bring your pets shampoo if a bath is desired.
