Highlights
Pet care experience
Cozy oasis for your fur babies!
I was fortunate to grow up in a home with a great dog, Ruby, and I cared for my grandparent's dog very often. I've been the resident dog sitter for many friends, and the regular sitter for my sister's dog, Winston. I've been caring for dogs regularly for approximately 4 years and have many repeat clients. I live on a quiet street with parks nearby for the dogs to enjoy. I am active myself and can give your dogs lots of exercise. I let the dogs get used to my home, give them affection and cuddles, and the right amount of exercise needed. I provide daily updates with pictures so you know your dogs is in good hands. **As I live in a condo I do need to be considerate of noise for my neighbours. Some barking is totally fine, but I can't care for a dog that barks excessively** If you're interested and need more questions let me know!

Ratings and reviews
Susan is the best! This was my first time using Rover and I didn't know what to expect, but I am so happy with how things went with Susan. Susan was amazing with communicating how she was doing and sent me pictures of her being her goofy self. Susan really gave Quinn a home away from home and provided me with the peace of mind of knowing she was in good hands while I was traveling. Quinn seemed to miss her a bit on the car ride home which was the sweetest thing ever. I would 100% book with Susan again and would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a quality dog sitter.
Susan was awesome! She has a calm and responsible energy and I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her. She gave me updates every day, pictures, and comments on how Kaia was doing. I would definitely be using her again in the future for dog sitting. Thank you so much for your help, Susan!
Susan was so wonderful with our pup! We opted for boarding services for a week and Susan was intuitive in her care and professional, kept us posted daily and shared much appreciated updates and pictures. We are grateful to have found a great sitter in our neighborhood.
Susan was so communicative while caring for my 9.5 year old husky mix, Pixie. She sent daily updates which put my mind at ease, and a sweet photo a couple hours after I dropped her off showing that Pixie was cozily relaxing which was so appreciated. Susan was also kind enough to meet in person and Pixie warmed up to her right away. I absolutely will book again. Thank you, Susan!
Baily and I met Susan prior to his stay with her and we immediately felt comfortable. Susan made me feel at ease to leave my little boy with her. I will definitely use her services again in the next few days and this time for a longer stay. Thank you Susan for the updates and pictures of Baily. See you soon!
Susan was exceptional at taking care of our goldendoodle, Luna. We appreciated all the updates and pictures she sent us. We found out that our dog was a little anxious with the transition but Susan really went out of her way to make Luna feel better. We are very grateful and we are hopeful to contract her services again one day. (It seems as though Luna is even better behaved then when we left!) Thanks again Susan for EVERYTHING.

Schedule
I only work in the office once or twice a month, so I'm able to be there for your dog. I generally walk dogs 3 to 4 times a day - 2 to 3 shorter walks (15 to 20 mins) and one longer one (45 mins to an hour) depending on their size and energy levels! I respect the dog's needs - crate them or use a dog bed at night. I'm generally not fussy about them on furniture.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have 2 bedrooms, no fenced yard, but parks nearby. I'm a nonsmoker, live alone, and have no other pets. If they use a crate, I put the bed or crate in my bedroom so they're not alone at night. I also ensure they can't access any food they shouldn't eat.
A typical day
Aside from walks, I will play with them with their toys to, give them lots of cuddles. I mostly just listen to what the owners say they need to make the dog comfortable.
