Dogs are a people's best friend, so I treat them better than my human friends. They love the outside life walking, running, playing, and treats when they do a good job, but most of all extra attention (petting, love). For the dog's owner, I would love to know the pet's schedule, outdoor equipment, favorite toy to play with, diet, location of the food, treats, medicine, feeding dishes, and sleeping arrangements, also if the pet have any special behavior. A detail note from the owner to the sitter will be lovely, also a list of contacts Incase of emergency, like trusted neighbors families around the area just in case I can't reach you at that moment. One of the best thing that I learn while dog sitting is that you always have to be on a good mood because animals feed from our energy so joy, love and peace within is what I surround myself with.
