Crazy about Dogs!
About me and my dog. I have a new dog in my life; his name is Sebastian. (He was a former client's dog who needed to be re-homed.) He is the perfect little "business partner" welcoming all of his doggy friends into our home everyday. I have worked for two vets in the past and enjoy all dogs. The best part of my day is taking dogs for a daily walk in our quiet neighborhood. Being a dog sitter is my primary responsibility and joy. I am home almost 100% of the time, and my adult daughter and my friend and roommate live with me as well. We are all dog lovers, so your dogs will never feel bored or lonely! Why I love dog sitting I have always adored dogs, and my family has always had one in the home. When I was starting college I wanted to become a vet and worked for two vets to gain experience. My family has raised one guide dog for the blind--completing all the basic obedience training. I have been a dog sitter for over 12 years with Rover. My home: I have a three bedroom home in Chatsworth where we have lived for 38 years. There is a nice shady backyard with grass that is completely fenced. I have put in new fencing and have many gates for safety and security. The neighborhood is quiet and great for walks. About my yard Our backyard is fenced and is on an average size lot. We have two gliders (comfortable swings), so that we can hang out in our backyard with the dogs a good bit. I like to have the dogs spend much of their day outside with me for sun, exercise and playtime. The pups are NOT left outside, but enjoy the outdoors while I am meditating, gardening or reading outside with them. The dogs, of course, sleep in the house with me. My experience administering medication: Yes, I am very comfortable giving medications, both oral and injections. In the past years I have cared for diabetic dogs, senior dogs, and currently care for a partially paralyzed dog.

Simply the best!
Susan is awesome, my pups had a great time ❤️
Great communication with photos and updates and a wonderful set up that was clean, spacious, secure and fun for dogs to play and relax.
My dog Sunny has been a client of Susan’s for almost 2 years now. Susan always takes such good care of Sunny and sends me photo updates when she stays with her. It’s great to see Sunny making friends and looking so happy during her stays!
U will never feel better than leaving ur pups with Susan. She’s kind, loving, walks them every day and totally understands dogs. She went way beyond by bathing them and. WASHING THEIR BEDS before we picked them up! We love Susan! Jan, keith, Petey n izzy
So comfortable with my pup at Susan’s house.

Schedule
I have been a full-time Rover sitter and dog-walker since 2014. For me it is dogs all day, every day--except for the occasional days off.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully (brand new) fenced backyard. When the dogs are outside, I am outside with them. Fortunately there is lots of shade, and I offer water play when the weather heats up. I have a nice, quiet neighborhood, so we take lots of walks through out the day--weather permitting.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks We have a beautiful neighborhood in Chatsworth. We actually bought our house because we fell in love with the neighborhood. We are close to a park and horse trails. Your dog's sleeping arrangement The dogs can sleep in various locations--wherever they feel the most comfortable. I am also accustomed to crate-trained dogs, if they are used to sleeping in their crate. I have three crates here, or you are welcome to bring your own dog's bed or crate. We can discuss this during the Meet and Greet. Time I'll spend with your dog Depends on the day and the weather, but I try to walk the dogs everyday. Also lots of play and cuddle time throughout the day. I do provide water play for dogs that enjoy water and lots of ball-throwing, etc for the toy motivated pups.
