I have been pet owner for over 30 years. I have had cats, dogs, large and toy breeds, fish, hermit crabs, and a hamster. I have cared and loved each one of them with individual attention and will do the same for your pet. Currently, I have a small dog, 3 fish and a frog. I seem to have a calming effect on dogs and I am told that I'm the only one in our family who can train them or calm them down. I think it's because I have always taken such loving care of all of our pets just as if they were one of my children. I have also been entrusted to pet sit for many of our friends and family over the years. I love dogs the most. My dog's name is Lucky, a 5-year old, sweet, shih-tzu. He loves walks, playing fetch, getting belly rubs, frequent brushings and all the attention we give him. I look forward to meeting your furry member of the family and getting to know their favorite things!
