Safety, trust & environment

My approach to pet care is focused on safety, routine, and comfort. I make sure pets are in a calm, clean, and supervised environment at all times, whether in my home or a client’s home. I closely follow each pet’s normal routine and care instructions so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I also pay close attention to behavior and needs, and I provide regular updates so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are in good hands.

Information Susan R. would like to know about your pet

Their normal daily routine so I can keep things consistent Their personality and comfort level with new people Any behaviors that are normal for them (anxiety, hiding, barking, etc.) Medication or health needs, if applicable Favorite things they enjoy (toys, treats, activities) Anything that helps them feel safe and at home

A typical day

Each day is shaped around the pets I’m caring for and what makes them feel most comfortable and happy. For dogs, that usually means walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. For cats, I focus on keeping their routine consistent, feeding, litter box care, and offering play or companionship when they want it (or giving them space when they don’t). I love getting to know each pet’s personality and adjusting the day to fit them, whether that means energetic play sessions or quiet, cozy company. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

Pet care experience

Hi! I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, they've been a huge part of me. Currently I am a “sister” to my mom’s dog Sammy and mom to my four cats Maple, Gidget, Coral, & Calypso! I believe not everyone can do this job, as it takes someone who is dedicated and loving to care for your fur babies.I have experience working an animal hospital as a vet tech, kennel tech, and a client service representative so I have been lucky to gain lots of experience with hands on learning! I am a student who is doing clinical teaching this semester therefor my availability isn't as flexible from January 2024-May 2024. My schedule would be a best match for families looking for an overnight sitter, for a pet who is used to parents being out during work/school hours, or pets that have access to a doggy door! I love both dogs and cats, and I do not have much experience with "exotic" pets but I am open to learning! If you have any questions regarding my availability please feel free to reach out(: Unfortunately, I cannot have any pets boarding at home additional to my own. I would happily care for yours in the comfort of their home.

Susan is INCREDIBLE! We booked her two weekends in a row over the holidays, and she was extremely responsive, kind, and easy to work with. She sent a TON a photos of our two boys, gave out treats and supplements, and prepared their meals how they’re used to. She also played with them and cuddled them the whole 30 minutes. Susan was incredibly understanding of our Labrador who is skittish around new people, and now I swear they’re best friends. She also took care of our home without being asked (swept up grass the dogs brought inside, turned off a heater we left on, brought our packages in, etc.) I seriously cannot recommend her enough!!!!

I am so grateful we found Susan! She went above and beyond checking in on our kitty while we were away for a week. It was evident that she takes pride in her pet sitting duties and genuinely cares about the animal she is taking care of. Thanks so much for loving our sweet boy, always keeping us in the know, and sending the cutest photos! Hope to book with you again in the future.

Susan is awesome! She took such good care of my pup, communicated well and often, and sent lots of pictures. She also took great care of the house and was very respectful. I would definitely recommend Susan and will be using her again!

Susan is amazing and a must book! I will be using her again! She is knowledgeable, professional and will treat your furry pet as her own. She took great pictures, left great notes and kept me updated. I highly recommend if you are looking for a reliable, trustworthy pet sitter!

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.
