I’ve house sit for a number of pets big and small and mainly dogs but all are welcomed. I like sticking to their daily routine schedule when it comes to eating and walking to keep your pet steady and on track. I also find that during that time frame also allows you to bond with your pet from experience just communicating with him/her. I’ve taken a few few classes on how to train a young puppy and have successfully potty trained 3. I believe what sets me apart from most sitters and walkers is that I honestly take my time and I’m patient with the pets and communicate and play with them and we both learn a little bit of one of another bringing more comfort and trust.
