Information Suzanne L. would like to know about your pet

I don't have breed preferences, but don't want to care for a dog that is chronically ill, has bowl or bladder issues or will destroy my home. Although Rover's weight limit category goes from 40-100 pounds, my preference would be 60 lbs +/-.

A typical day

Daily Walks: Whether it’s a leisurely stroll around the block or a longer adventure through the neighborhood, I love getting outside for a walk. Your dog will enjoy fresh air and a good stretch of their legs! Playtime in the Yard: I have plenty of space for your dog to run, fetch, or just explore. Whether they love chasing balls or simply enjoy sniffing around, they’ll have a blast! Interactive Toys & Games: I have a variety of toys to keep your dog engaged—balls, chew toys, tug ropes, and more. We’ll have fun playing together, whether it’s tug-of-war, fetch, or even hide-and-seek! Snuggle Time: After an active day, your dog can unwind with some cozy cuddle time. I’m always happy to sit with them, whether it’s on the couch or curled up on a soft blanket.

Loving Home for Your Pup

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm Sue, a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for all kinds of pups. As an empty nester, I've found that having the company of dogs is the perfect way to fill my home with love and energy. I’m active, vibrant, and would be thrilled to welcome your furry friend into my home while you're away. Whether it's a walk around the neighborhood, a cozy cuddle on the couch, or just hanging out together, I’ll treat your dog as my own—because they are family to me.

I’m so happy that I found Suzanne to watch my pup while I went on vacation. She was very responsive and proactively sent me updates and pictures during his stay. Highly recommend

Suzanne took such wonderful care of my dog, Jax. I would highly recommend her. This was my first time ever using Rover let alone leaving Jax with anyone but a family member. I couldn’t be happier with how well taken care of he was.
