Experienced Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I have been with Rover since 2019 My daughter Joanna also help with the small dogs and she’s home all the time I have always had my own dogs and cats. I have a separate area just for the cats. I can give medications if needed. I love to play and walk them. I’ve helped two female dogs give birth, and taken care of the 9 puppies for 8 weeks. I like to teach dogs and to reward them for good behavior. I can provide feeding time and if needed I can do house training. I love taking pictures and would love to send you pictures and videos through out the day. I have plenty of room in my home with a fenced in front and backyard. I have a Full empty basement for playtime with lots of toys. And a minivan that holds lots of dogs to take to the doggie park.

I cannot say enough great things about Susan and her daughter Johanna. I just adopted this little girl less than a week before booking and they took her in. She was adjusting to a lot already but within a day I was getting pictures of a happy playful angel surrounded by love! Johanna really has a way with all sorts of dogs. Their place was clean, felt like a home and play area, lots of communication, aware of any special needs or behaviors, and honestly upon meeting them I had 0 hesitation leaving her there. If I had to say one thing I wasn't happy with it is that Johanna doesn't live closer so her and I could be neighbors! Thank you and will book again

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.
