Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. With three dogs of my own and running a dog walking business, I ensure they are fed, exercised, and given attention every day. I plan my schedule to accommodate their needs, and I extend this commitment to my clients' dogs, ensuring they receive the same level of care and attention during their walks. In my own home, I provide a loving and safe environment for my three dogs. This includes regular feeding, exercise, playtime, grooming, and veterinary care to keep them healthy and happy. When it comes to my dog walking business, I follow a structured routine for each client's pet. I ensure they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need during our walks. I also keep them hydrated and clean, and I'm attentive to any special instructions or requests from the pet owners, such as administering medications or using specific training techniques. My goal is to create a positive and comfortable experience for the pets, whether in their own home or out on a walk.
