Like with my own dog and my friend's animals, there are always slight variations in how I care for pets and what I deem safe. In my own home, I know that I have a fenced-in yard and I can trust that my dog can safely roam around till she demands to be let back in. As for my friends, they do like to do things in certain ways and I always ensure to approach the sitting or walking as they instruct me to. Apart from personalized requests, there definitely are several rules that I apply to all situations. *I always make sure that I never leave any food around and to properly dispose of my trash and scraps. *Keep an eye on any Houdinis who like to escape when I am opening and closing the door. *Keep a close on the pet on walks, to avoid having them eat something they aren't supposed to. *Make sure pets are properly kenneled if requested.
