Personally I cant say what sets me apart. I'm sure there are lots of great sitters out there! Since growing up, I've had fish, cats, dogs, rabbits, and lizards. I currently don't have any pets, but have taken up every opportunity to help friends in need of a sitter. I'm a photographer, so the updates you get from me aren't blurry phone snapshots. You'll get real pictures of your dog doing normal dog things, and enough of them that you know how the day went. I let nervous animals come to me instead of pushing, and I pay attention to what's normal for them so I notice when something isn't. I follow your instructions exactly. Medication schedules, food amounts, which door they bolt out of, what they're not allowed to have. If you write it down, I do it, and if something's unclear I ask rather than guess.
