Safety, trust & environment
I am able to be present in my client's home throughout the day and night, available to your pet(s) as needed. I enjoy taking them for walk, playing with them and cuddling with them. I'm generally good with letting them sleep with me, depending on their size and temperament.
Information Suzanne R. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the temperament of the dog and the degree of training the dog has received. I would want to continue the training in my interactions with the dog for consistency. I would also want to know the dog's likes and dislikes; any triggers that might create aggressive behavior and how to best protect the dog and others when encountering various circumstances. I don't have breed preferences; however, I would be uncomfortable sitting/walking a very aggressive large dog.
A typical day
Depending on the dog and the client's preferences, I will walk the dog in the neighborhood or in a nearby park. I'll play fetch with the dog in a dog park or other fenced-in area. I often get down on the floor with my dogs and play tug of war using a dog rope or one of their favorite toys. I enjoy cuddling with dogs, talking to them and letting them know how much they are loved. When my clients return, they find their house in order, with the sheets washed and returned to the bed. I know how it feels coming back from a trip and finding your house in need of cleaning and beds re-made. All of that will be done for you when you return. I'm also happy to water plants and run errands for you while you are away. I work from home and my hours are flexible and that enables me to help my clients as needed while they are away.

Pet care experience
Taking care of dogs - whether my own or my children's - is a pleasure for me. I receive a great deal of joy from having them in my home, taking them walking, playing fetch with them with a tennis ball, and letting them play in the creek near my home. I'm currently transitioning from business life to retired life and I want to only do things that give me joy. Caring for dogs is one of those things. I am comfortable with small and large dogs, and every size in between. I have cared for my own aging dog, Champ. He was a Brittany and I loved him so much. I keep his collar hanging on my gear shift in my car. It's a soothing reminder of how much he loved me as well. I have a BS in Business Administration and 30+ years of work experience in the legal services industry. I am a mother, sister, daughter, aunt, and friend. I love to walk outside, grill, and sit beside a fire. I'm an SEC fan, so fall is my favorite time of year! I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
Reviews
Sadly disappointed as Suzanne had previously taken care of our Baby Girl...she forgot her on one visit and reminded her the next time giving her another try. Unfortunately, after an hour, I had to remind Suzanne of my booked services.
Suzanne is a wonderful dog sitter and is absolutely our first choice when needing someone to care for our dog. She takes amazing care of our GSP and treats her as if she Is her own. There is no doubt that she doesn’t love our dog and our dog is always excited to see her! She is very dependable and we don’t worry a bit about our dog when she is in Suzanne’s care. Our dog has health issues and Suzanne makes sure meds are administered and keeps our dog on her strict diet. I highly recommend Suzanne and really cannot say enough good things about her love for our dog and animals in general.
Suzanne has done drop in visits for our dog several times now and we are nothing but pleased with her! She is excellent at keeping in touch and always sends us pictures. She varies whether they played fetch outside together or went for nice walk. Philly loves her and so do we!
Suzanne is reliable and trustworthy. I appreciated the check-ins and photos from her visits. It gave me peace of mind while I was traveling. I definitely recommend!
