​Our Care Philosophy: Family First 🐾 ​Coming from a home that loved a Shih Tzu for many years, we know that every dog has a unique personality and specific needs. We don't just "watch" your dog; we welcome them into our daily lives as a temporary family member. ​Safety & Security ​Fully Fenced Yard: Your pup can enjoy the fresh air safely. We always supervise yard time to ensure everyone is playing nice and staying secure. ​Kennel Comfort: We are big believers in the "den" environment. If your dog is kennel trained, we maintain that routine to reduce anxiety and give them a safe space to rest while we are out or during bedtime. ​Leashed Adventures: Our morning and evening walks are always on-leash, exploring the neighborhood at a pace that suits your dog’s energy level. ​Personalized Attention ​Companionship: Since someone is usually home throughout the day, your dog won't be lonely. Whether we’re working nearby or relaxing in the living room, they’ll have human company. ​Consistency is Key: We stick to your feeding and medication schedule exactly as you do at home to keep their tummy and health on track. ​Fresh Water & Treats: We keep the bowls full of fresh water and (with your permission!) provide healthy treats for being "good boys and girls." ​Communication with You ​We know how hard it is to be away from your fur baby. We make sure to send: ​Daily Photo Updates: Action shots from our long walks or cute photos of them lounging in the yard. ​Quick Check-ins: A quick text to let you know they’ve eaten and are settling in well. ​Peace of Mind: You can enjoy your trip knowing we are treating your pup exactly how we’d want our own to be treated.
