Hello! We're Emil and Debbie and we are RoverGO sitters. Having undergone advanced screening, we have been met face-to-face and our home has been inspected. We will treat your dogs as we treat our own, providing a calm atmosphere so they can relax stress free while you're away. We spend most of our time at home. Debbie is home all of the time while I presently work a part-time job. I hope that if all works well I also can spend full time at home taking care of your dog/s We now have two Shih Tzu's, Barney and Levi. We have had Shih Tzu's for over 30 years. We pretty much let them lounge around giving them their space. They roam around our back yard whenever they feel like. Barney likes to cool off in the shade and spends most of his time in the house. Levi is our newest and keeps Barney young they play all the time. I used to help my Uncle Tony train AKC German Shepherd's. We would go to all of the shows with his two prize Shepherd's, Bruno and Tammy. I was fortunate enough to come across my first dog, a German Sheppard and named him Zack. He was a rescue dog found abandoned and starving by the local police in New Jersey. Zack was exceptionally very smart and easily trained. I could go on forever how much fun and protective he was of the whole family. My wife Debbie loves the particular breed Shih Tzu's so, this is why we have Barney and Levi today. The price listed is for a 24 hour stay.
