Safety, trust & environment

I currently have a 5 yr old dog and a senior dog in my home. My long time cat passed away last fall. I can do daily checks on pets in your home and dog walk. My pets are friendly and could consider a stay in my home depending on how well the outside pet gets along with other animals. So mostly I am Interested in visiting the pets home for services. My husband is my pet back up person if I can’t make an appointment.

long time pet lover and dog Mimi-

Pet care experience

I have had many dogs and cats over the years and love them immensely. They are my babies . I will care for your pets just like they are my very own. I love their personalities and the bonds we make. I am happy to be able to give a family peace of mind when they have to be away. My husband of 30 years and I are empty nesters now and he is my pet “backup” person. He enjoys them as much as I do and if he needs to pop in to cover one of my visits we will communicate that. All my clients end up being part of the family! I love getting updates and enjoy all my time with them!

Susan is the best, I use her every time I go out of town to watch my dog. I cannot say enough good things about her. Very kind and loving and treats your animals like her own.

Susan is the best! She watches my Doberman whenever I leave town and she is so diligent at keeping an eye on my animals, home, and property. Cannot recommend her enough.

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.
