Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In My Home: Safe Environment: I make sure my home is pet-proofed, eliminating any hazards, and ensuring outdoor areas are secure. Routine and Structure: I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and playtime as pets thrive on structure. Nutrition and Hydration: Fresh water is always available, and I feed pets according to their specific dietary needs as instructed by the owner. Exercise and Play: I ensure pets get the right amount of exercise and playtime, tailored to their breed, age, and health. Comfort and Affection: I provide a comfortable space for them to rest and ensure they receive plenty of affection. Health Monitoring: I'm vigilant about their health and behavior and will contact the owner or a vet if I notice anything unusual. Cleanliness: I regularly clean their feeding areas, bedding, and any designated bathroom spots. In a Client's Home: Respect the Space: I am always careful with the client's home and belongings, accessing only areas necessary for pet care. Follow Instructions: I strictly adhere to the owner’s instructions regarding their pet's care and house rules. Regular Updates: I provide frequent updates and photos to the pet owner, ensuring them of their pet's well-being. Emergency Preparedness: I know the location of the nearest vet and keep essential contact numbers handy. Security: I make sure to secure the home properly after each visit. Cleanliness: Any messes made by the pet are cleaned up, and I leave the area as neat as I found it. Specialized Services: Dog Walking: I choose safe routes, use the right leashes or harnesses, and provide water during walks, particularly on warm days. Overnight Stays: If staying overnight, I stick to the pet's normal routine and provide them with companionship to minimize their anxiety. Medication Administration: When giving medication, I’m extra careful with dosages and timings and stay alert for any adverse reactions. General Approach: Communication: I always maintain clear communication with the pet owner about their preferences and their pet’s specific needs. Animal Behavior Knowledge: Understanding pet behavior and signs of distress or illness is crucial to me. First Aid: I’m equipped with basic pet first aid knowledge and keep a first aid kit ready. Insurance and Certification: For professional services, I have pet care insurance and relevant certifications.
