| answered a question | What to do if dogs I sit for are allergic to flea treatments? I personally use Young living therapeutic grade essential oils. Put a little lavender oil into whatever shampoo you are using and you will not be dissapointed. Completely natural and organic :) |
| answered a question | Can you work part time at another job other than dog sitting, while working for Rover? I work part time as well as being a Rover sitter. Not all of us have the luxury of not having to worry about bills. Between my wife and I, we take the dogs out every 2 hours. I highly recommend you communicate whatever situation you are in to the potential client. Being honest ALWAYS pays off in the long run. |
| answered a question | Safe, non-controversial pet wipes? I do agree - there is no perfect magical product that works for everything unfortunately. What I do know, though, is that Clorox wipes= BAD...how do I know? Due to my own lack of knowledge. After my puppy goes out, I used to wipes her paws and rear so she would not track in any extra dirt. I was recently informed by a vet that, over time, the Clorox seeps into their bloodstream which obviously can cause a cascade of serious problems. Too, I noticed that her pads and snout were getting very dehydrated as a result. A local vet recommended baby's wipes as a safe alternative. Every couple days or so following this information I got a bowl of warm water and "soaked" her paws for 5 minutes. Now, her pads and snout are fully hydrated and she has an overall happier demeanor. Hope this is helpful to all who read it. Sincerely, Alex |
