Safety - If walking dogs i'd ensure that the harness is well fitted, and the leash is secured to prevent the dog escaping during a walk. - I’d provide multiple and all round water breaks/ ensuring water bowl is full at all times, and provide shaded/ cool areas to keep cool. - I’d ensure to keep an eye on the pets to ensure if there’s any signs of illness, injuries and any distress and if there’s is I’d ensure to immediately report to the owner/s. Trust - I’d ensure to keep all owners in constant communication by sending photos, any updates, or videos during visits or dog walks. - I'd always make sure to always follow any instructions left by the pet owners like keeping to their regular routines, keeping to their pets food dietary plans. - I'd also ensure to treat the pet owners home with respect and respecting their items within the home, id also treat the pet with care and leave any space used clean if a mess was made. Environmental - I'd ensure the pet owners home or walking area is free from any harmful hazards like broken glass, sharp objects or anything that could potentially cause harm. - When doing dog walks I ensure to choose a walk route with the best interest of the dog whether the dog is nervous of traffic or loud noises. I'd always put the dogs well-being first and always go to a park the dog knows and is comfortable being at. - I'd ensure that all dogs (if exempt) is allowed a chance to socialise and interact with other owners or dogs during walks only when appropriate. - I'd ensure any waste from the pet whether it be on dog walks or at home, all waste would be properly cleaned and disposed of.
