Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Susan. I have over two years of pet-sitting experience in Canada and moved to Arlington, MA in July 2025. I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention throughout the day. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs—playing fetch and frisbee, taking them for walks, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m especially experienced with small dogs and understand their routines and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure to follow owners’ instructions carefully. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to taking great care of your furry family members!

Susan was able to watch Max on short notice, responded to me super quickly when I submitted the request, and took wonderful care of Max! She sent me pictures throughout the day and my mind was at ease knowing he was having a great time. It is so comforting knowing he was well taken care of!! Thanks so much Susan!

Susan is an excellent dog sitter & took good care of her. My chihuahua was happy when I picked her up. I think the dog misses her. Definitely will hire her again!

Susan was outstanding! Our little one can be a little anxious but she was so great with him. This was our first time using Rover and he came home so happy (and exhausted). Would highly recommend to anyone looking to leave their pup with someone who will take great care of him.

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.
