For drop in visits i always let the dog/cat approach me first and will let the dog/cat warm up to me first. For house sitting I will do the same steps as drop in visits but I will also show the dog/cat I am respectable of his/her home For the dog walks will bring treats to reward the dog and always make sure to pick up the pee and poop. show attention to the dog and run to get some great exercise. I am young and athletic and have a lot of energy for outdoors. I know exactly how to show a dog attention on a walk and a fun time running around in a dog park, open field, etc. I will show your dog a great time.
