I have never taken care of a strangers pet to be real honest, but I myself have taken care of mine an my family pets, mostly dogs an very little cats. I know how to control a pet in a caring respectful way, so even if a strangers dog I may be taking care of does not feel threaten in any way. I will listen out to whatever you may need me to understand about your pet an so my best to follow from any instructions I may need to follow through to take care of your pet as well. Taking care of pets in general always will be done from my part in the best fulfilling way for them so they as well enjoy them selfs.
