When I lived in a home with dogs I would go with them on walks, make sure to engage them with play as well as attention, however also making sure to not reward over-energetic behavior such as jumping or barking and being mindful of behaviors the owner is trying to train out. (Update: I have been finding it hard to provide consistent walk routines, although not impossible. I may be better suited to dogs that are happy with flexible walk schedules depending on energy that day. If your dog needs a strict walk schedule I may not be the best choice, though I’m sure you will be able to find a better fit with another sitter!) I personally have a cat which I care for with scheduled feeding and lots of snuggles. I don't plan on boarding, as my home is more than just me and I wouldn't want to inconvenience my roommates but I am happy to learn how to give specialty care for your animal at your home as needed.
