I am a big dog lover and I treat every dog with lots of love and care as if they were my own! I was raised in a shihtzu-loving family, so if you have a shihtzu, well you've pretty much hit my soft spot. But no worries, I love all little buddies equally and I'm familiar with all the tricks and tips to making sure every pup is suited to their needs. I understand the stresses of leaving your little buddy on such short notice whether it's for work or other personal reasons, not to mention the concerns of leaving your buddy to a complete stranger. But rest assured, even though we might be strangers at first, we have a common love for animals and making sure they are treated right. I do currently have a cat in my apartment, but feel free to select me if you know your dog is okay with cats. My cat is definitely puppy friendly! As for my apartment, I live in a 1 bedroom approx. 1000 sq ft with my boyfriend, and we have a couple of dog parks around my area if you're concerned about a yard. A little bit more about me: I'm a happy individual with a bright and bubbly personality. I enjoy exercising regularly (your dog will be sooooo happy if he/she loves long walks) and having fun. Prior to caring for your pup(s) I like to have a meet and greet so that we all can get a sense of each other's energy and how we will work together. Hopefully you'll choose me and you, your beloved buddy, and I will get acquainted very soon! *** Any damages to my home or furniture in my home that are caused by your pup, please note that you may be subject to liability ***
