Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your pets is a big responsibility, and I will treat both your pets and your home with respect. During visits, I will follow your instructions carefully, maintain your pet’s normal routines, provide meals, fresh water, exercise, playtime, litter box care, and any needed medications. I will pay attention to your pet’s behavior and communicate with you through updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I believe pets are family, and I will care for yours with the same patience, kindness, and attention I give my own.

Information Suzanne K. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn about their personality, routines, and individual needs. Every pet is different, so knowing their feeding schedule, favorite activities, comfort level with people, and any special instructions helps me provide the best possible care. Please let me know about any medications, health concerns, fears, behaviors, or preferences your pet may have. The more I know, the better I can help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away.

A typical day

Every pet has their own personality and routine, so I start by learning what makes them happiest and most comfortable. A typical day includes following their normal schedule for meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. For dogs, I enjoy walks, play, and activities that keep them happy and engaged. For cats, I provide companionship, playtime, gentle attention, and care that helps them feel safe in their own home. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or prefers quiet companionship, I will respect their individual needs and make sure they feel loved while their family is away.

Experienced Pet Care You Trust

Pet care experience

I have been a pet parent for many years and understand that every pet is unique. I currently share my home with two Huskies and four cats ranging in age from 3 to 20 years old, giving me experience caring for pets at every stage of life. One of my greatest joys has been caring for senior pets and learning their individual routines, personalities, and needs. I understand that older pets often require extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I also have experience with energetic dogs, independent cats, and the many different personalities that make our pets so special. I treat every animal as an individual and will provide the same loving, dependable care that I would want for my own pets.

I have had the privilege of knowing Suzanne for 35 years, and in all that time, I have come to know her as one of the most honest, dependable, kind, and genuinely caring people I have ever met. When Suzanne told me about this new adventure, I was absolutely thrilled for her. But, if I’m being honest, I was perhaps even more excited for the animals who will be fortunate enough to have Suzanne as part of their daily care. She has always possessed a remarkable connection with animals and an instinctive understanding of their needs, personalities, and individual quirks. Her love and respect for animals extends far beyond simply being a pet lover—she is genuinely knowledgeable about animals of all kinds, both domesticated and wild. Suzanne is someone you can trust completely. She is responsible, attentive, patient, and conscientious, and she takes her commitments seriously. When she says she will be there, she will be there. I have no doubt that she will treat every animal entrusted to her with the same care, compassion, and affection she would give to her own. What makes Suzanne especially well suited to caring for pets is that she understands that animals are individuals. She is observant and intuitive, and I know she will take the time to learn what makes each animal comfortable, happy, and secure. Whether a pet needs an energetic playmate, a calm and reassuring presence, a patient companion, or simply someone who will give them plenty of love and attention, Suzanne is exactly the person I would want caring for them. After 35 years of friendship, I can recommend Suzanne without hesitation or reservation. She is trustworthy, warmhearted, responsible, and wonderfully devoted to animals. I have every confidence that she will bring those qualities to every pet and every family she works with through Rover. I am delighted that Suzanne has chosen to embark on this new adventure, and I know the animals in her care will be the real beneficiaries. They could not ask for a more loving, dependable, and knowledgeable companion!

I have known Suzanne personally for close to 20 years. She has always been conscientious, attentive, and loving to her own pets, and you can trust that she will be with yours too!

I have known Suzanne for over 10 years, and I can say without hesitation that she is one of the most loyal, dependable, respectful, and genuinely caring people I know. She is a wonderful wife and mom, and the way she cares for her own pets is a true reflection of the love, patience, and responsibility she brings to everything she does. Suzanne is someone you can count on. She is trustworthy, compassionate, responsible, and, of course, has a great sense of humor! She treats animals with the same kindness and attention that she gives to the people she loves. I would have absolutely no hesitation trusting my own pets in Suzanne’s care. I know they would be safe, loved, well cared for, and treated like family. Any pet parent would be fortunate to have Suzanne looking after their furry family members!

I have known Suzanne for more than 10 years, and I can confidently say that she is one of the most genuine animal lovers I know. Her love for animals isn’t just something she says—it’s evident in the way she cares for them every day. Suzanne has always opened her heart and home to animals in need. She adopted a senior dog and gave him the love, patience, and care he deserved throughout his later years. She now has two rescue Huskies, as well as several rescue cats that she absolutely adores. She has even cared for chickens, so her experience and love for animals extends well beyond just dogs and cats. What stands out most about Suzanne is how much she truly cares about the individual needs and personalities of her animals. She is patient, responsible, attentive, and treats her pets as family. I would have complete confidence leaving my pets in her care, knowing they would receive plenty of love, attention, and excellent care. I wholeheartedly recommend Suzanne as a pet sitter. Any pet parent would be lucky to have someone who genuinely loves animals and treats them with the same care and compassion she gives her own.
