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.

Penny is always so happy when arrives at Susannah’s! It’s a great sign when she starts squealing with excitement when we pull onto their street! Susannah and Richard are great and we look forward to continue having them watch Penny!

Susannah and Richard are some of the nicest dog sitters we've ever worked with! They are so easy to get along with, and always happy to work with us to accommodate our schedule. We feel 100% confident that our dog is in the best of hands with them! So grateful for their help.

Our dog is a special needs dog that is timid and frightful. Susannah provided dedicated, personalized care and oversight. We are lucky to have found this sitter.

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.
