Sitter Needed For 1 Dog In Walnut Creek

My dog is a poodle mix. She is about 6 years old and just a sweetheart. However, she has severe separation anxiety. I need someone to stay with her when I am away for the early morning until early afternoon on 2 Thursdays a month. She is a rescue and doesn't like to be alone. I have had her for 6 months (adopted from the Martinez SPCA). She is very shy at first, but warms up if she feels you like her - dogs have a great sense about this!
