Safety, trust & environment

My own dogs go on daily walks they also have a fenced in yard and are trained off leash on our three-quarter acre property. At your home, I am willing to follow whatever routine your dogs are used to including walks or crating if necessary.

Information Susan N. would like to know about your pet

I like to know a dog's daily schedule,their sleep and eating habits, And he stress or anxiety they might experience when you're gone. Any medical information and vet contacts is also important. If there's any little quirks about their personalities that you feel are also important for me to know.

A typical day

We like to take our dogs on walks in different places including nature trails and public places. We occasionally visit dog friendly patios. Our dogs like mini training sessions with sits and stays.... And playing fetch. I'm willing to do whatever your dogs need and enjoy.

Pet care experience

I have 30 years experience and I love animals! I have taken care of various breeds and trained many of my own ! I currently own a german shorthair pointer and a bluetick coonhound. I also have two cats and two bunnies. I have completed several obedience classes over the years and have a lot of experience at the local dog parks. I have summers off because I am a teacher so I have plenty of flexible time available to work.

Absolutely could not be happier with Susan. It was a last minute booking and she came through for us. I got home and everybody and everything was calm and orderly. Just as I left it. Susan was great, sent pictures, asked questions. It was a great experience and can’t wait to have her again.

Susie was very good. I’m sure the dogs liked her more than they do me

Exceptional! Susie took both my dogs out twice in a day because I couldnt be there. She also picked up my package from the leasing office and left it on my counter. It was great coming home to 2 tired Aussies and being able to put my fresh groceries in the fridge that night! She's just awesome!

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.
