My husband and I are the owner of two dogs. One is an eleven year old Basset Hound and the other dog is a five year old Shetland Sheepdog. I have grown up with dogs all my life. I am a caring and compassionate dog owner. I am dependable and reliable. I have my own transportation. I love all kinds of dogs, small or large. I feel, if you need a dog sitter and want someone you can relax with while you away from your pet, you will not be sorry that you hired me for this job. I have grown up around dogs and understand their needs and different personalities. I know the importance of making sure they eat properly, have enough water available at all times. I make sure they go outside and get exercise or go for walks. I am attentive to their needs and would know if a dog was not acting or feeling right. I base this on being a dog lover and owner for many years. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I was a little kid. We owned several dogs growing up. As an adult I lived in apartments and could not have dogs. Once I got married and had my own home I was finally able to have dogs. We have two dogs. A Basset Hound named Chloe and a Shetland Sheepdog named Bear. We are conscientious dog owners. They get their yearly exams and shots. They have heart worm pills. If they are sick, we will immediately take them to the vet. We understand both puppies and older dogs. I have a five year old Sheltie and an eleven year old Basset Hound. The older dog needs more attention and care. She is a wonderful pet and a very good and fun loving dog. They both are very good dogs. I trained them both to go outside and do their duty. Meet my pets I live in West Greenwich RI with my husband and our two dogs. We have a fenced in back yard. It is big enough for your dogs to run around and play in. We also have a deck. About my yard We have a fenced in back yard. It is fairly large and there is plenty of room for dogs to run and play. It is very safe. The dog can never get out of the yard. I also would keep my eye on your dog while they are outside. I would not dog sit your dog and not watch him or her while they are playing outside.
