*they'll have a good time*

Pet care experience

Hello there! I've been caring for dogs since I can remember. I used to take care of my three family dogs back home and dogsit others in the neighborhood. I kept doing this as a pass-time through graduating from college and my free time after. I enjoy taking care of other's furry children. I am ready to walk, run and play as much as they want. I will love and care for them as if they were my own.

Information Shirley S. would like to know about your pet

Do they get along with other dogs? Are they reactive to anything specific during a walk or while being at home? Are there any bad habits your dog does that I should be aware of?

A typical day

- - - We could walk or run around the neighborhood toward a park where the dog can get more in touch with nature. We could also stay at home and play games like fetch or tug-of-war. They will also enjoy some extra petting, hair brushing, and showers if needed.
