"HAPPINESS" caring for a dog or two

Pet care experience

It's the best feeling to know you have a caring person to care for your dog while you're away. I am an avid dog lover, and owner of a 13-year-old, Shih Tzu. I am active and love outdoors. Allowing me to care for your dog, he/she will be in great hands. I can provide morning, afternoon, evening and weekend dog walks around your neighborhood, follow a regular routine, or even go to a favorite dog park. An important goal for me is to provide consistent high quality care, and a lasting relationship. I have the basic knowledge of dogs with a sense of humor/professional as well. Your dog will get attention & love just like he/she is my very own Shih Tzu, Tazz! Thanks I work part time out of the home for approximately 5 hours daily early hours, and home by 9 a.m. daily to provide the care for the doggies. I have the appropriate accessories setup for daycare and doggie care in my apartment. If any adjustments need to be made, willing to provide necessities as needed.
