In the spring of 2022, I completed my graduate school classes in art therapy and clinical counseling at Southwestern College in NM and am working towards growing my business as an artist. I have the flexibility to pet sit often during this transition. I do not have an "online job". I take my artwork with me when I housesit and work on things that I can do at other people's homes (like sewing). Because of this, I am able to spend most of the time pet sitting at home with the animal.

Information Suzanne T. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if your dog is unable to go on hikes. I'd also like to know any important details about what the needs of the dog or cat is.

A typical day

I like to go on long hikes with dogs in beautiful forested places. Ideally, I like to be able to take them off leash and let them run around a lot.

Location

Asheville, NC

Suzanne T.'s Local Area

I love going hiking with dogs.

Pet care experience

I grew up with cats and have been taking care of people's dogs for many years. I was often the go to person for dog sitting in my co-housing community where I lived until recently in Santa Fe, NM. I moved back east at the end of 2022. *Please note that I charge $50 for meet and greets. I can add this on to your total booking fee or you can pay some other way. This ensures that people have a serious intention of booking when they ask me to come out and meet them and their animals and it also ensures that I am compensated for the time I spend doing this. Thank you for your understanding!* also: if people are having issues with their animal(s), like so many people are, I want to recommend animal communicator Penelope Smith. She has a whole directory of animal communicators on her website animaltalk dot net.

This was our first time with Suzanne taking care of Maggie. I never had a worry while we were gone! Maggie immediately liked her and she provided updates and pictures. She took care of our home and left everything in order. We’ll be happy to book Suzanne again!

Suzanne spent two weeks in our home with our dog while we were overseas. It was our first time being away from him for a long period, and Suzanne put him right at ease. She kept in touch frequently and sent photos. We've found her to be a proactive and clear communicator. She was also kind enough to take care of our plants, fetch our mail, and wash our sheets before we got home! Don't hesitate to book with her.

This was our first experience with Rover and first time having aper sitter over at our house. Suzzane was great. The communication from the very first contact was outstanding and continued throughout the service. Got home and dogs and cat were all in great spirits and I could tell they had bonded well with Suzanne. Thank you.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
