Information Susannah & Richard D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any stressors that cause a big reaction (dogs barking, prey drive on walks, delivery drivers, etc). It is helpful to know in advance.

A typical day

I start the day with a long walk on a nearby fire road, along with any play (such as throwing the ball) to get a thorough exercise. There are brief walks and play moments throughout the day, then another good walk in the late afternoon/early evening. We use 4 different routes in different open space and neighborhood areas.

Susannah and Richard couldn’t have been more welcoming to our girl Mia. They really took the time to understand her particular needs at the pre-meet, which was very reassuring for us. We are so glad we found them and will definitely be booking again!

Susannah and Richard took great care of our senior dog Cosmo. We trust them with our pooch and never have to worry while we’re away.

Susannah and Richard were warm, communicative and wonderful! I can tell that Birdie really enjoyed her afternoon with them and I will be rebooking soon. I love that they are so close to Open space for walks and can also walk Birdie downtown. Highly Recommend!

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.
