Hi my name is Shannon. I am a student at San Diego State University majoring in kinesiology with an emphasis of Athletic Training working toward my Doctorate of Physical Therapy. I love dogs and have had my Shih-tzu for 8 years now. Thought over breaks watching and caring for other peoples' dogs would be a good way to make some money and enjoy the company of other furry friends. Its also a good, simple work out! I am 18 years old and will be home a month around Christmas time and 3 and half months during the summer. I have always loved dogs and would care for your little one how I would care of mine. Hope you choose to keep company of your little loved one!
