Must love dogs? -- I do!
Pet care experience
I have had dogs in my home since I was 5 years old. I had my own dog for 13 years and I cannot wait to get another one, but I have decided to go to medical school so having my own dog again will have to wait. Currently though I am only in the prereq portion of school so my work and school days are shorter. To fill the void of not currently having a dog I have been dog sitting and love it! Most of my work/school days are only 6 hours so there will be plenty of play/snuggle time for you dog/s. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all of my life. I grew up with dogs in my home and I got my own dog just after college. She was my love. I dog sit for friends whenever they need me. My experience administering medication Yes, I have no problem giving the necessary medications to your dog.
Reviews
We love Suzanne! She loves our dogs like we do and sends great updates to us while we are away.
Suzanne watched our 80 pound Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix for two weeks. She did a wonderful job. Suzanne sent us pictures and emails several times a day. She even took Pearl to the beach and let her swim, which was wonderful, but then she gave her a bath, which was even better! Pearl was happy and content when we got back, which says a lot. We will definitely ask Suzanne to pet sit when we go away again!
My dog's stay with Suzanne was great. She was very responsive and sent me lots of pictures/updates, and took my dog to do lots of fun things like play in the park and go to the beach! I would definitely use Suzanne again.
We were very happy with Suzanne (as well as our dog!) and couldn't have asked for more! First of all, this was the first time we ever left our dog alone with someone who wasn't a family member or close friend who she already spent time with. I was concerned that our dog would be scared that we abandoned her, but by the first night, our dog was already cuddling up with Suzanne in bed, which is a sure sign that she felt comfortable with her! Suzanne sent us frequent pics and updates that perked up my day and really made me feel more secure that our dog was doing perfectly fine (and likely getting spoiled with attention) during our absence! When we returned, she had already washed the sheets and taken out the garbage, which wasn't really necessary but nonetheless, impressed us. I will definitely use Suzanne again if I ever go out of town again and highly recommend her to others!

Information Suzanne A. would like to know about your pet
I will always want to meet a dog before watching him or her. Of course I want to know their potty schedule, meds, favorite toys, do they like other dogs or prefer solo outside time. I have no breed preferences, I love them all.
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog If I'm not working or at school I will be hanging out with you dog. Extra house-sitting services I will maintain your home in the manner in which you are accustom. I can water plants, bring in the mail...
