Hello my name is Susan. I am a huge animal lover. I have been the proud owner of many dogs over the years. My pride and joy Tyson a dachshund terrier mix had to be put to sleep recently do to complications from spinal surgery. I have spent the last several months taking care of Tyson because the surgery took away Tyson's ability to walk. My bond with Tyson was so special. Tyson gave me so much love and joy. With the free time I have now I would love to become a dog sitter. I know I will make a fantastic sitter because I just love the company of dogs. I have a flexible schedule to work with. The services I can provide are a very loving and affectionate home. I am also willing to watch your dog at your home as well. I am free to walk your dog, play with your dog, take your dog to the park and feed your dog. I would treat your dog like a member of my own family. I look forward to building an amazing relationship with all the dogs I have under my care. I have many years experience dog sitting for family and friends. I will also be willing to administer any medication to a dog that may need it. I am a very responsible and reliable woman. DOGS ARE PEOPLE TOO!! I'm happily married to a wonderful man. I have 2 grown children that are now on their own. I watch my daughters dog when she goes on vacation. My husband and I both work so the most your dog will be alone during the day is 4 hours. My husband works 10 am-7 pm and I work 9 am-2 pm. I will follow your specific directions regarding your dog. I have a sink in my laundry room if you would like for me to give your dog a bath. I am a loving caring person, I just adore dogs and so does my husband. We love to walk and hike and having a dog with us makes it more special. Why I love dog sitting I have always been a dog lover. I have owned dogs my whole life. I am an outdoors type person and I enjoy taking dogs out to walk, run and play We do not have any pets at the present time. We have an empty nest now its just my husband and I. I have a pretty big yard for a dog to wander around although I do keep them leashed. I have a very long runner that your dog is welcome to use. We abut woods so plenty of things for your dog to investigate. About my yard I have a very big back yard that abuts woods. I usually have a long leash and sit outside with them. I take walks around the blocks as much as 3 to 4 times a day so your pet will get plenty of exercise. I can also do quick dog feeding if you wont be home in time to feed your pet, or if your pet needs a quick walk ..
