I have been a dog owner and lover for over twenty years and have a lovely friendly five year old Shih Tzu There are several dogs of various breeds in my immediate family ranging from an Akita and German Shepherd to a Miniature Schnauzer Our previous Shih Tzu lived until he was twelve, I am experienced and sympathetic to the needs of all ages of dogs from puppies to seniors who have medical conditions I am retired so I have plenty of time for extra dog walks and only walk one dog or two from the same family small or medium breeds I would look after your dog as if he/she was my own as I know how precious our pets are to us and how hard it is to leave them with someone else to look after without constantly worrying if they are safe
