Back in the day, I used to take care of my family and friends' pets, including cats and dogs. But it was just over two years ago when I officially started pet sitting and dog walking. Building a bond with those animals is the best feeling ever! Seeing their excitement when they see you again makes it all worthwhile. I've had the pleasure of working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, so I can handle any kind of dog. I've even helped with puppy training, teaching them new tricks, and potty training. Plus, I've got experience walking dogs in groups, so if you've got a few, I'm up for the challenge! Dogs love routine and consistency, so being reliable and punctual with their feeding, walking, and playtime is super important. They also thrive on positive reinforcement, so being patient, kind, and using treats or praise to reward good behavior can go a long way. A helpful trait I’ve acquired is being observant and attentive to their needs, whether it's noticing if they're feeling anxious or if they need a bathroom break. And of course, having a genuine love and passion for dogs and cats is the ultimate trait that shines through in my pet care.
