I am well equipped to deal with different types of dogs as I have been surrounded by them my whole life. Especially older dogs with more attentive needs as my dog was 16 years old. I also take the time to get to know your animals and how they behave. When pet sitting I always think of different ways to keep your dog busy and active recently i house sat for a family member who had a dog and we went on long adventurous walks around Washington D.C and also took rides to different stores . Another piece I left with her dog was teaching him how to be a little calmer because he’s a quite hyper dog and she was very pleased with his new skills when she came back .
