Pooch Pampering Retiree! Home F/T!

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Susan! I cannot wait to spoil and pamper your dog. My 12 year old Labradoodle, Maggie, crossed the Rainbow Bridge earlier this year. I became aware of my love for dogs at the age of 6 when I bonded with my childhood dog, a Cocker Spaniel named Jake. I have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I have had great experiences with dogs helping people in my life who needed an extra hand at times. Your dog(s) will be treated as a family member while in my care. Your dog(s) will be walked, played with, and pampered the whole time he/she is with me! Since I'm retired, I will be able to provide your dog with the care and attention he/she deserves while staying with me. My home, near Doherty high School, is pet friendly and safe. My yard is fully fenced-in and secure. We take walks to the park or around the neighborhood. The price listed is for a 24 hour stay for a dog weighing up to 44 lbs. I have undergone advanced screening, I have been met face-to-face and my home has been inspected. Please message me! I'd love to hear from you and meet you and your pet(s)! Why I love dog sitting For as long as I can remember! Dogs have always been an important part of my life, since my first dog, Jake. Currently I share my home with Maggie, a 7 year old Labradoodle my family adopted from the local animal shelter. About my yard My yard is rather small, but fully fenced. It is a great place to play! My experience administering medication Yes, I am comfortable administering oral and topical medications. I am not comfortable administering injections at this time.

I highly recommend Susan! My two little dogs spent ten days with her. She sent daily photos and updates showing the dogs happy and playing. I was grateful that she was willing to administer medication to one of the dogs recovering from surgery, and willing to mix special food for them. She provided soft beds, lots of toys, a fenced back yard, and loving care. She treated my dogs like family in a very nice, clean, and comfortable home. I couldn't have been happier.

Kylie had a great one night stay at Susan's. Susan is very helpful and kept us informed. Kylie is looking forward to her next stay soon.

Susan did a wonderful job taking care of our pug, Francoise. We received frequent pictures and updates - we knew he was in good hands. Definitely plan on going back to Susan on our next trip!

Bert stayed with Susan for a couple of weeks while we were on holiday. He was so well looked after during that time and he was made to feel part of the family. Susan sent us regular updates and pictures throughout his stay

Information Susan G. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about his/her schedule, his/her ability to get along with other animals, and how much exercise he/she needs. Does he/she like toys? Is he/she allowed treats? Is he/she allowed on the furniture? Basically, anything you would like to discuss so that I can provide the best care possible.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We will walk in my neighborhood and at local parks. We are close to Palmer Park and several neighborhood parks. There are also several empty lots behind my house and the dogs love to sniff for rabbits and squirrels. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will sleep in our home as our house guest. We can discuss the best way to make him/her feel right at home, and feel free to bring along his/her favorite bed, blanket or toy so he/she gets a good night’s sleep. Maggie sleeps with me and I can provide a bed in my room or in another location depending on your preferences. Time I'll spend with your dog I am home Full Time, so how does 24/7 sound?
