Information Michael L. would like to know about your pet

I prefer small to medium-sized dogs. Aggressive dogs are not accepted. Most dogs are well-behaved and loving. Please let me know what activities they enjoy, what makes them unique, their dos and don'ts, and if they have any medical conditions. The more details you give me about your pet, the better.

A typical day

I let them out into the yard every two hours or so. I live close enough to a walking trail that I can walk there. I love playing with them to keep them entertained, exercised, and stimulated, unless they prefer to be left alone to do their own thing. I'm pretty good at reading their moods and understanding their personalities.

Pets

We Are All Animal Lovers

Pet care experience

We are animal lovers and take care of my own dog. We are very detailed-oriented caring and loving person. We are also mature, responsible, and most importantly, reliable. My wife is a full time housewife. I'm currently staying at home. Let me know if they have any special needs as far as eating habits, daily routines, allergies, or medication. I would love to know how they are normally with other animals. There is plenty of space to walk around if we are staying inside. And I have a backyard with fence around the house so they are welcome to run around in the backyard.

This was our first time boarding our shih tzu, Chocco. We were so anxious but after the first night Michael put our minds at ease with his daily updates and photos. He followed our feeding instructions and took great care of Chocco. We would definitely use him again.
