Luckily, I have had the opportunity to walk dogs and pet sit on many occasions due to my friend who is an avid animal lover. I walk dogs about 4 or 5 times a month and pet sit a good amount of times over the previous summer. I've learned a lot about the business, including centering in onto the owners specific needs and how they do things, caring and committing to the best job possible, and giving back to the owner in any way such as a thank you note or a treat. I believe I am very reliable and would do the BEST and most thorough job possible. I personally own three dogs of my own, and I know how much it means to have them taken care of properly and knowing they are safe in the hands of a stranger eases the mind of many animal owners/lovers.
