Pet care experience
I used to work at an animal hospital in the kennel department in which daily I would take care of ten to twenty clients (pets), ranging from dogs to cats. We would feed them and walk them as they were needed, clean their dirty kennels and prepare fresh clean ones for them. On top of just caring for the clients with daily needs, we would also bathe and groom them if their owners wanted us to, or if an accident happened. We would also assist with the vet techs, and veterinarians to bring dogs in and out of operating rooms, weighing them, and giving daily status updates if they were on medication. As for me personally I owned a yorkie for about 10 years before he sadly passed, all while being a full time student and working part time. As of now, I have an Australian shepherd and in the house we live there are two other dogs that I help take care of (another Aussie and a shiba inu).
Reviews
Diop is one of the best dog caregivers you'll meet. The best caregivers are those who genuinely love dogs even if their not their own, and Diop embodies that perfectly. When I got my first puppy it was a new experience for me and terrified me half to death, and Diop helped me every step of the way, with advice, materials, or even just checking in. Even now they love spending time together, be it taking her on a walk, playing with her, or just keeping her company. Diop has become of my dog's best friends in the world, 100% would recommend.
Diop has watched my dog on numerous occasions and even several weekends. My dog is reactive and can be challenging at times but he fell in love with Diop. He learned my dogs cues and hesitations and made him feel comfortable in his presence. He always took him on long walks and ensured he was safe. I trust him fully with my dog and know he cares for him as well as I do.

Safety, trust & environment
I've cared for every pet I've interacted with like my own, especially if I was given the task of watching them for extended period (kennel boarding, or friends asking me to dog sit). Making sure their fed and eating all their food, going on routine walks, providing enough water, playing and praising them.

Availability
Currently I work nights (3p-5p or 4p-7p, ) part time on weekdays with coaching (also dependent on game days/times), then 7pm - 2am Fridays and Saturdays. So my early afternoons are mostly free in which I could help someone walk or feed their dog while they're at work, or care for their dog while they're away on vacation.
