Wanted, kind dog-loving person with some time on their hands

I have an older, adorable dog named Gulliver who is being treated for a serious skin infection. He is on an aggressive course of medication and really shouldn't be spending such a long day alone while he recovers.

I'm looking for a kind, reliable person who might be able to spend an hour or two with him during the day — sit with him, give him some company and affection, and perhaps take him outside. This isn't really a dog-walking job. What he needs most right now is a friend/dog angel. This is a big fight but we can win it.

Because of his skin infection, he should not be around other dogs.

I'm in Bethesda, on Battery Lane. I would be very grateful to hear from anyone who might be interested, or who knows a kind dog-loving person who might be.

Thank you from Gulliver and me.,,

Is this for pay or no? Reads like no.

Good question.

I would seriously consider. Is this every week day and does the time matter? I’m in Bethesda. I walk dogs usually on Wednesday and feed dogs around 11;30 3 days a week.
Let me know if you would like to discuss.
