Animal lover w/ fenced backyard!
Pet care experience
My boyfriend and I live in a small two bedroom apartment in Cambridge with easy access to nearby parks and a small fenced in backyard. I can't have a dog of my own yet but I have a ton of experience (my family has 3 dogs currently and I borrow them for walks haha). I doggy-sit my friend's elderly Frenchie regularly and she is a dear friend. I look forward to meeting new canine friends!
Reviews
Suzanne R. was an amazing sitter. She loves all animals and is so knowledgeable about dogs and other species. She has a nice set-up in her apartment and clearly pays attention to the nature of the dog and how to make it most comfortable. I can't say enough about her.
Suzanne was wonderful with Bisous. She is such an animal lover! definitely will use her again.
THANKS SO MUCH! Harvey had so much fun, thanks for being so caring and loving with our little guy. You kept him on his best behavior and in line! Thanks for the picture and text updates throughout his stay :) Would definitely recommend Suzanne to other caring dog parents who need a place for their dog to stay for any duration.
I'm so glad to have found Suzanne to take care of my two senior dogs! Anyone with a senior dog knows that older pets need extra attention and care, and Suzanne provided just that. She also seemed to genuinely like my dogs (and all dogs in general), which gave me peace of mind. I'd recommend her to anyone.

Information Suzanne R. would like to know about your pet
Info I need about my new fuzzy friend: -Name -Age -Medications -Diet and any allergies -Routine, including # of walks and duration -Special needs -If he/she is good around other dogs (my family has 3 and sometimes I go on walks with my sister and her dog Carter) -anything else you feel I should know!
A typical day
My dog-sitting style changes depending on the dog I am taking care of but a couple things stay consistent! I try to gauge my new buddy's personality. For example: My sister's dog is very shy (only at first!) and has a high level of fear (reacts to loud noises, is scared of tall people, piddles when meeting new people, etc..). He and I are now super close because I let him take his time getting to know me and didn't push him to socialize. I do not feed dogs "people food." I will, of course, change this for special dietary needs. I only mean that I am not the one they will be sitting next to at the table during dinner :P I enforce training consistently. Because I raise 3 birds (who have their own room) with sassy personalities I know the importance of consistent training. If you have any tricks or commands you want me to work on I will be happy to oblige! I enjoy going for walks and there are several beautiful parks (dog park or otherwise) I would be happy to take your baby to! I have always loved and respected animals of all species. My dog-sitting style reflects that love and respect.
