Pet care experience

I have worked with various animals (as an animal shelter volunteer for many years, pet sitting in college and plenty of Rover responsibilities). I’m comfortable walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your furry loved ones :) I have been a volunteer at “Na Paluchu” animal shelter in Warsaw, for a bit more than 5 years. I assisted in the direct care of animals, fundraising as well as reaching out to the community by organizing events and engaging in various promotional activities. Dogs were always a big part of my life, I had many breeds ranging from Rottweilers to Yorkies. When my dog passed away in 2016, I became even more involved in the shelter, especially with the senior dogs. This is where I met my current dog, Dyzio (meaning “a dreamer”), who is a part of my life for the past two years. Unfortunately I had to leave him with my parents when I left for grad school, but it means I have even more love to give! If your loved one would stay under my care, you can contact me any time (day or night) to make sure he/she is having fun and being a bit spoiled ;) Please feel free to contact me with any questions, even before you decide to book with me :)

Susan was our dog walker for over 8 months, and she was absolutely amazing with our beagle Lola. Her rover cards have the cutest photos and lots of details about the walks. I looked forward to them every day. Lola loves Susan and we will miss her very much now that we’re moving away. If you’re looking for a dependable dog walker that will love your pup like they’re own, Susan is your go to!

I left Winnie (7 old month puppy) with Susan for the weekend - Winnie got plenty of snuggles, playtime, and walks! I also got a lot of cute picture updates. It was a relief to leave Winnie with a caring and knowledgeable dog sitter. Also, this was my first time using Rover and Susan made the communication and coordination super easy! Will definitely book again next time I’m out of town.

Information Susan S. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting a dog I would recommend a little meet and greet - we could organize a time for you and your precious pet to come over to my apartment and see where he/she would be staying. As I had dogs before myself, I would want for you to have a peace of mind that your loved one stays in a clean, pet-friendly apartment with a really cool roommate :))

A typical day

Well, let’s keep it short and sweet. Whatever your dog or cat needs - from long walks, butt scratches to chilling on a couch together ;) Even though my profile says Capitol Hill I’m actually located in Navy Yard. So, if you’re considering boarding or daycare, it’s the perfect area for walks and meeting new four-legged friends!!

I work fully remotely in the DC area and my schedule is flexible so that I can pay full attention to the animals under my care. I live right next to the Navy Yard Dog Park so if you have a pup that’s more of a social butterfly we can have some fun there too!
