Madison dogs! I'm a sometime lonely writer who loves long (and short) walks. You're a lonely dog who needs long (short) walks. How ‘bout we be friends? I can come to your house OR you can come to my house and we'll eat a bit, play a bit, and talk about anything you want. I don't bark and tell, so whatever you say is safe with me. I don't have a particular "type". If we click, we click. Basically I'm looking for dogs who like humans as much as they like other dogs. Maybe even more. Small, medium, big, I got you covered. We can do short walks, too. As long as you're cool with hearing about my latest amazing literary accomplishment, we'll be fine. I've known quite a few dogs in my lifetime; most were big dogs. Right now we live with a female (un spayed) petite cocker spaniel. But my secret "dog weapon" is my son, who is a dog lover in the extreme. Not only does he love dogs, but he talks to them. (As much as I talk to them.) If you need someone to throw a ball for an hour, he's your guy. If you need someone to lay on the floor with your dog and discuss the plight of dogs whose owners won't give them Beggin'Strips every half hour, he'll happily lay on the floor and commiserate. If this sounds like something you want, text me. (You might even get TWO dog sitters for the price of one.) If we're a match, let's meet! We have our own 1.5 year old dog who needs care so someone is almost always home (unless we’re at the dog park). As for work, I’m currently job hunting so I’m flexible with my personal hours. I will update if my schedule changes. Just between you and me, big barkers or highly anxious dogs are NOT a good match in our home. We have experience to prove this. But! Do you love dog parks? We know a few! Within 4 miles of our front door are two! This really helps when a dog doesn’t have an enclosed yard. 🐶 If you stay over 🌝 or 🌙 we will probably visit the dog park (unless you hate it). How will we get there? I’ve got a Honda CRV! You just bring a couple of towels and a toy for your outing! Need a crate for the ride? We have a MED dog crate. But if what you need is just some quiet company, I always have a good book we can share. Feedings happen on your schedule and walkies, too. If you must sleep in a bed, you will need to get along with the friendly cocker spaniel — territorial behavior won’t work here. Otherwise bring a crate for stay-overs, day or night. Sometimes a dog just needs its own space, you know? Or an medicine Injection (like insulin), or medicine/supplements. We can do that, as well.
