Very engaging and have an 11.5 year old Shih-Tzu myself, also cared for a 15 year old Maltese/Shih-Tzu. Had the privilege of caring for a Miniature Pinscher and a Bijon from the neighborhood. Having a dog myself I get to know her temperament, when she needs a walk, snack time, meal time, and to make sure water bowl is filled. Pet owners can be reassured I will provide the same hospitality with their dogs as I do mine. One the average I can be on call 7 days a week and be flexible. If given a chance I will make sure dogs have a fun experience with playtime indoors. I want them to feel like they we feel entertained and just have an all around good time.
