I specialize in caring for Shih Tzu...and similar breeds too! (housebroken adults and seniors under 15 pounds) Your pup will get tons of attention and love since I work from a home office and am around almost all day. Plenty of long walks and play time! My house has a gated backyard with grass, cooling tile floors, and a comfy carpeted upstairs loft for running around. Your pup can even sleep in our bed! Rest assured, your dog will be treated like family while you are away. Pictures will be texted!
