A couple things that differentiate myself from other dog sitters/ walkers: I do my research on the breed of dog and I've always been naturally good with dogs and reading their needs. Communication between the dog and myself, I feel, is very important. Being stern and confident in what you are saying to the dog makes all the difference. I want to be an advocate for creating a healthy, happy, and safe environment for the dog. I have been around dogs my whole life and have experienced all sorts of situations, which In turn, has taught me the best way to handle anything thrown at me. I typically work between 7am-6pm Monday through Friday. But I do not have a set schedule so I work half days sometimes through the week. I ALWAYS have the weekends off so I have open availability. I am flexible if I am notified at least a week in advance so I can make it work with my schedule.
