Information Susan W. would like to know about your pet

I prefer dogs 30 lbs or less. I need to know if your dog is reactive and to what. Could I bring my dog to walk with yours? If not no problem.

A typical day

I do enrichment with Wallace. He has games, snuffle mats, things to chew like Kongs that I make the fillings. He goes to Bark Tudor one or two days a week for socialization.

Pet care experience

We always had 2 dogs, my responsibility.As an adult I have had rescues and purebreds. I walk 4 to 5 miles a day and a dog makes it a learning experience. I have worked for Rover and another company the last six months and have excellent reviews, quick response times and have enjoyed it.

Susan is a life-long dog lover. Goes the extra mile to give affection and training. Patient and kind. Diligent with her current new puppy. Definitely top-rated!

Susan and I have been married for 40 years. I did not grow up with dogs when I met her she already had two of them, since then we have had a series of rescues and breeder dogs that have made our family hole. She even said she wouldn’t get married if I wasn’t all in on the dogs. We dealt with one very reactive dog that had been treated for Pavo and had a lot of issues and were able to turn him around. When I met her I was not a dog person now I’m up at 7:30 every morning walking our puppy Wallace. She loves to walk loves dogs. This would be a perfect opportunity for her.

I’ve known Susan for more than 25 years. I’ve never known her to be without a dog. She is a loving and experienced pet owner. As a pet caregiver, you will find her responsible and caring. I have trusted her with my pets and wouldn’t hesitate to do it in the future. Bobbie D
