When you are asking someone that you don't know to take care of your dog, it is clear that the most important factor when making your decision is trust. Having been both a friend and a business associate of Ty's for the last twelve years, I can tell you that his being trustworthy is one of his best qualities as well as one of his most easily identifiable. When it comes to pets, Ty has proven to be a wonderful owner. I have had the pleasure of going on many outings to the dog park with Ty. Whether it is with his own dog or a different person's, he takes great pleasure in making dogs happy. On a side note, Ty is also adept when it comes to dog photography! In short, Ty would always be my first choice when making the decision of who is going to entertain my dogs when I am gone. Not only will you be happy with your choice, your pups will thank you as well!
