When you trust me with the care of your pet, I go above and beyond… * I generally walk the dogs I pet sit 4-5 times a day. At least 2 of those are at least an hour, and more often than not, they are 2-3 hour walks. That's a minimum of 3.5-4 hours of walking a day! * I'm happy to work with puppies who require shorter and more frequent outings or elderly dogs who need shorter, gentler outings. If I need to, and your dog isn't over 40-45 pounds, * I can carry them up or down stairs if they have bad hips. * I provide lots of love and attention throughout the day and night. * I prepare special meals whenever the pet needs or wants them. * I send nightly updates with as many or as few details as you want and a few photos a day. * My focus is more dedicated to your pet's care than photos, but I find a way to work them in, especially when your pet is doing something extra cute. * I'll take your pet to the dog park if you'd like them to socialize, or walk them around the city if you'd rather they don't. * I match your training style and household rules. * I work hard to establish a rapport with your dog - even if they are shy or nervous. And if your dog needs oral medication, I can make sure they get it as prescribed. * I take special care with your home and try to leave it looking like I haven't even been there. * I work with you on any special requests or changes in plans whenever possible.
