About: As a dog sitter, my dedication to providing personalized care tailored to each dog's unique needs sets me apart. With a background in having dogs, I work well with puppies, helping them develop good manners and basic obedience skills. Additionally, I have experience in senior dog care, ensuring older dogs receive the attention, patience, and gentle care they deserve. My commitment to creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for every furry friend entrusted to my care is unmatched. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. Each day, I allocate specific time slots for feeding, exercise, and playtime with the dogs under my care. I prioritize their well-being by ensuring they receive regular walks, and plenty of love and attention. Flexibility is key, allowing me to accommodate any unexpected changes or emergencies that may arise while always prioritizing the health and happiness of the pets in my care. In both scenarios, whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for the pets. In my home, I ensure that it's pet-friendly, with designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playing. I maintain a consistent routine, including regular feeding times, walks, and play sessions. I also provide plenty of mental stimulation through interactive toys and games. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their routines and preferences while providing attentive and reliable care. This includes following feeding schedules, adhering to any medication regimens, and maintaining the cleanliness of the home. I strive to keep the pets' environment as consistent and stress-free as possible while their owners are away.
