I have been around dogs since my teens years. I currently have a shih-poo dog who is 6 years old. I treat him as my second child, hence I treat him as he is apart of the family. My experience as a dog owner, I understand how a dog owner is looking for someone to care for their dog as if the dog was their own. I understand that dogs require lots of love, care and patience. I also understand the importance of their routine and intend to provide your dog with their usual routine as best as possible. Overall, I look forward to caring for your dog and giving you a peace of mind that your canine family is in good hands while you are away.
