For my clients needing their dogs walked for their drop-in visit, I do prefer harnesses over collars for their safety, however a lease is great too. No matter the time of year we’re going to have a great time outside getting exercise. Cats as well as dogs need daily exercise, while you're away I will happily engage in positive active play. Inside your home, depending on what you need for care I will clean litter boxes, pets dishes, refill and clean water and food as directed. Continuing your house training is important, if you do not allow your cat/dog on furniture or is crate trained, I will continue what your pet is used to. Medication is necessary to some animals, I have no issues administrating medication with proper instructions from the owner (written down by owner for reference). Grooming is essential for basic pet care, if your pet needs or likes brushing I will absolutely do that too.
