I work from home 3 days of week. Working from home I feed and play with my puppy at 7am. I leave for work at 8am. I get back from work at 5:30pm. I take my puppy to the dog park until 6:30-7pm. When I get home, I make dinner for myself and eat dinner at 8pm. That is when I feed my puppy as well. I will let him out for his final bathroom break at 11pm. On days when I work from home, my puppy has access to the fenced in yard throughout the day. Same morning and evening routine.

Information Shi Ming C. would like to know about your pet

I love pets. I have had lots of pets. Currently, I have one puppy and three large fish tanks in the house. I have a puppy that will eat or destry anything on the floor so his area is clear of mostly anything.

A typical day

Because I have a puppy, I take him out at least twice a day. I take him out for a walk in the morning around 7am and then again at 5:30pm. Throughout the day, he goes in and out to my fenced in backyard.

Shi Ming provided excellent care for my dog, Chase. He was happy, well‑looked‑after, and clearly enjoyed his time there. Daily photo/video updates were a great touch and kept me informed throughout his stay. I would confidently recommend Shi Ming’s boarding services.
