Pet care experience

Your dog will LOVE their stay!

If you're seeking someone to care for your pets like you do, then you've found your gal! I am a single mom of 2 children and 2 mini-goldendoodles. I work during the day close to my home, so I'll be around to engage with, play with, walk, and offer pet-psychotherapy (I'm a Licensed Psychologist) as part of this package! (Ha ha). I've had pets my whole life - as a child I had dogs, litters of puppies 2 times, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, bunnies, chickens, oh my! As an adult I've bred and raised hedgehogs, had three of my own dogs, and LOVE animals! If you want someone who's a mature parent, yet playful at heart, I'll be the perfect woman to care for your dog(s). I take in only 1-2 dogs at a time. Fenced in backyard Daily leashed walk (if needed? Potty breaks frequently during the day Updated Rabies shot needed (due to having children of my own) Send me a message and let's chat more!

Susan has a very calm presence and was able to pivot last minute when I realized I hadn't confirmed my Rover reservation. She was great about communication and was patient with my sensitive pup. Happy to recommend her to others.

Susan was fantastic! She sent us photos and updates throughout the holiday weekend while she was watching our dog. It was incredibly easy to coordinate with her, and she made the entire experience seamless for us.

Susan was the best and we highly recommend her. She sent photos almost every day with a brief update on how Siggy was doing and she was very responsive to our concerns throughout his stay.

Schedule

I love animals and will prioritize your pet during their day. I work out of my home, hours are 9am-1/3pm depending on the day, providing ample time to spend with your pet. My office is close to my home, if potty breaks are needed mid day.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in backyard with a driveway gate. I can both use a crate or bed, depending on your dogs needs. I also use gates if needed around the home. My dog loves other dogs, and also gives them space during your pets stay. I have two boys who also adore animals.
