Pet care experience

Caring for a pitbull and loving it

I make sure dogs are well fed and get enough exercise. I enjoy playing with dogs and give them treats for good behavior. I've had three dogs for over ten years and come from a dog loving family. I currently have a pitbull and love him like he's a true member of the family. I follow instructions to the letter, keep close eye on pets when I'm watching them, and make sure they have enough water in their bowls. I clean up after them and make sure the house is cleaner than when I first arrive. I'm extra cautious when taking dogs on walks and I make sure they're properly leashed before taking them out. I do enjoy being around animals and treating them like people.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I would make sure to follow any rules a client would have about their pet and their own home, being very sure to showcase trust to the client and their pet. I do request that I meet with new clients and their pets before bookings to build rapport and trust between us. If we’re unable to meet beforehand, I spend time with the pet(s) on the first day of a booking in order to build a trusting relationship and learn more about their temperament & energy.

Riley warmed up quickly to Rachel and she sent lots of pictures from the visit! She was very timely and communicative which gave us peace of mind while we were gone.

I would like to know if a dog has any problems, health wise, temperament, etc., If they need to take any medicine and when, and what I can and can't give them as food or treats.
