When entrusted with caring for a dog in someone's home, safety is my utmost priority. I ensure a secure environment by familiarizing myself with the layout of the home and identifying any potential hazards such as loose wires, toxic plants, or accessible cleaning supplies. I always keep doors and gates closed to prevent any escape attempts and use baby gates or barriers to restrict access to certain areas if needed. Additionally, I maintain constant supervision during playtime and walks, attentively monitoring the dog's behavior and surroundings. By being proactive and vigilant, I strive to create a safe and comfortable space where the dog can thrive while in my care.
