I’m recently retired, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. When pet sitting in your home, I can structure my day around your pet’s needs—feeding schedules, walks, medication, and plenty of companionship. My goal is to help pet parents feel completely confident that their pets are well cared for while they’re away. With an owner’s permission, I’m happy to include enriching outings such as beach walks, play dates, or visits to pet-friendly establishments. For walking clients, I also offer customized options like extra-long walks or special beach walks, tailored to your dog’s comfort and energy level.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is very pet-friendly, with a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time. I share my home with one small, friendly dog who enjoys playing with other dogs and helps create a relaxed, social environment for visiting pets.

Information Suzanne L. would like to know about your pet

I like to know about any special needs ahead of time, including feeding routines, medications, quirks, or comfort items. I understand that some dogs have very specific rituals—my own dog insists her food be warmed in the microwave like a five-star meal—so I’m happy to follow whatever routine helps your dog feel at home.

A typical day

I love beach walks with dogs, play sessions, and enrichment activities tailored to each dog’s energy level. When appropriate and with owner approval, I also enjoy visits to nearby dog-friendly spots for extra socialization and fun.

Retired & Experienced Dog Foster

Pet care experience

I’ve worked with dog rescues for over ten years and have fostered hundreds of dogs, many with special medical needs. I’m comfortable adjusting care to different personalities, routines, and health requirements. I currently have one small dog after recently losing her senior big sister. I am retired with plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care. I love walking and offer additional special services such as extra long walks or special beach walks.

Suzanne was outstanding. We have had several stay in rovers but have been the most pleased with Suzanne and her husband Rick. They truly care for your animals as if they’re family. You’ll get updates, pictures, and your dogs will get quality time if you choose to book Suzanne. Highly recommend for all your pet sitting, or dog walking needs!

Our 6 month old puppy had a great time! It was our first time leaving her overnight but we felt very comfortable with Suzanne and her husband Rick. She got lots of exercise and adventures (dog park and beach walks). She came home happy and tired! I know she’ll be excited to go back to their house for future trips!

Suzanne took such good care of our girls. They were treated like part of the family. They got daily walks and all the lap time they wanted. We look forward to having them stay with Suzanne again soon.

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.
