14+ years of experience with pet-sitting (mostly dogs but also cats, rabbits and farm animals). Grew up on a farm surrounded by animals and started dog-boarding at my parents' place as a teenager. I volunteered in an animal shelter for 6 months which has enabled me to take care of dogs with various profiles (e.g. traumatized dogs who mistrust, aggressive ones, scared ones...). Besides I am tall and fit and can take on the most energetic dogs for walks! I have a part-time job and can work remotely whenever I want to which gives me a unique flexibility (time- and place-wise). If I'm staying at your place, it is totally okay for me to take out your dog for a walk every 2,5h or to take some 10min playtime. I am careful about closing doors and fences to prevent the dog from escaping. When I am home-sitting, I am always near the dog and if I have to go away (e.g. for grocery shopping), I will try to make it as short as possible. I keep potentially toxic substances out of reach e.g. chocolate or cleaning products
