Everything's coming up roses...

Hi there.....my name is Susie. I recently downsized and moved from Portland to Eugene to be closer to my daughter and her family. She has urged me to do so for years so I finally did it and here I am. I have been on Rover for several years as you can see by the many wonderful reviews I have received from all the nice people I have met along the way. I have to say it was hard leaving all my granddoggies. I became very close with my clients and their pets. I will miss every one of them. But life always changes and now I have a new opportunity to meet new friends and have new granddoggies. I am very excited to do so. I live in a one bedroom, end unit condo and am fortunate to have a nice space to go out for potty breaks. This is a very nice neighborhood with lots of shady, winding sidewalks and there is also a walking trail along some ponds that is literally right around the corner. I am very centrally located and close to everything. Your doggie will not want for anything. We will have lots of fun and lots of cuddles. I love having them sleep in bed with me. I usually just watch one dog at a time although depending on the dogs and their owners, I have watched two at a time. I would only do so if I had permission from the owners and if I personally knew the dogs would get along great. Many dogs have enjoyed the socialization and have played their little hearts out and became great friends. In that instance, I have become a doggie sandwich at bedtime. :)) However most of the time it is just the two of us (or three if someone owns two dogs). I can administer medications and supplements as well. I have had a dog ever since I was a little girl. I think they are the most loving creatures on earth. I have had big dogs and little dogs and all types and sizes in between.

This is the second time that we used Susie. The first time was just overnight, but this was over a week and she was amazing! She was in constant communication with us and sent photos every day. Bowser was very happy to see us but equally excited to want to stay with Susie! We will continue to use Susie whenever we need someone to puppy sit!

We needed a sitter last minute and Susie was everything we could have asked for. She and Bowser became fast friends as evidenced by his staying beside her even when I came to pick him up. She kept us in the loop sending photos and updates throughout his stay. Susie will be at the top of our list the next time we need someone to stay with Bowser.

Not only did Susie provide excellent care for my dog, Sadie, she went above and beyond even training some bad behaviors out of her! Susie is worth her weight in gold!

Susie was awesome! She was super nice and communicative throughout our dogs visit. I will definitely rebook her again if I'm in the area.

Safety, trust & environment

There is nothing worse I can imagine than having something happen to someone's dog on my watch. I am quite a freak about keeping them safe and watching them every second. To me they are like toddlers. You just need to watch them or something could happen.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Time I'll spend with your dog I will be spending the entire time your pet is here with him/her. I have dog toys. We play. We cuddle. We walk if they like to do so. They listen to me blab to them just like they were a human hanging out with me. I talk to them all day long.

It is important that your dog to be on regular flea meds, such as Frontline. Does your dog get along well with other dogs in case I may be pet sitting for someone else at the same time? However, that is not generally my practice. I like to give one on one attention to your pet. Although they certainly do love playmates. It just depends on the situation and it would be a decision that we all agree on together. I am sorry but I do not accept pitbulls or pitbull mixes. I also prefer not to have dogs with emotional or biting issues. 24 hours constitutes one day. Rover charges per night so if they need to stay until the end of the next day but not overnight, Rover will not charge you. However, when I do doggy day care it is usually from morning to evening so it would still constitute a day for me even though the dog may not be staying over. We can certainly figure out how to handle that depending on the situation. My children are grown so there is no need to worry about the pet's behavior around little ones.
