Safety, trust & environment

I like to keep your pets on their same schedule while you are away. It keeps them happy. The less stress for them the better they adjust.

Information susan m. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any special needs, let me know and I'll adjust. I like to meet you and your pet before I accept a sitting job to see if we are all a good fit.

A typical day

A typical day would be hanging out with your pets and bonding with them so that they won't feel too much separation anxiety. I want them to be happy while you're away.

Your pets will love being with me.

Pet care experience

I've been taking care of many different pets my entire life. I have a great bond with all animals and have been with Rover since 2019. Being retired, I can easily adapt to your schedule. There is a lot of competition out there, but if you give me a chance, you will not be sorry. Your pet will have an absolutely 'pawsitive' good time hanging out with me. Check out my references and photo gallery. I am willing to negotiate the prices listed here on Rover.

Susan is amazing. This was the first time that we left our pup with someone we 100% felt great about. The best we have ever had.

Susan is wonderful! Friendly, peaceful and kind, my cats felt very safe with her. She is responsible, communicative, and on time. I am so happy I found her!

Susan did a wonderful job taking care of our two labs while we were on vacation. She checked in regularly with photos and updates which helped keep our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our time away without any worries. The house was well taken care of and we would absolutely hire Susan again. Thank you Susan!
