When caring for pets, whether in my own home or at a client's home, I prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of the animals under my supervision. Here are the specific measures I take to ensure the best possible care: In My Home: Safe Environment: I pet-proof my home by removing potential hazards such as wires and chewable objects, especially for puppies. I create a secure and comfortable space where they can relax and play safely. Constant Access to Water: I provide dogs of all ages with constant access to fresh water, ensuring they stay hydrated throughout the day. Regular Exercise: I engage the dogs in regular exercise routines, including walks, playtime, and outdoor activities to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. Emergency Preparedness: I keep contact information for a nearby vet handy and have access to my own vehicle, enabling me to respond quickly to any emergencies. I am trained to recognize signs of distress and will take immediate action if necessary. Structured Routine: I maintain a consistent daily routine, including feeding times, bathroom breaks, play sessions, and quiet time, ensuring the dogs feel secure and comfortable. In Client's Home: Familiar Environment: I respect the pet's familiar surroundings, maintaining their routines and ensuring minimal disruption to their daily activities. Attention to Details: I pay close attention to specific instructions provided by the client regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and any other special requirements. Security: I ensure the home is secure, locking doors and gates properly after walks or outdoor activities. I make sure the pet is secure inside the home before leaving. Communication: I maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing regular updates and photos to assure them that their pet is in good hands. Respect and Comfort: I approach each pet with respect for their individual personalities and needs, allowing them to feel comfortable and secure in my presence. My approach is flexible and tailored to the unique needs of each pet. By combining a safe environment, constant care, emergency preparedness, and open communication, I strive to provide the best possible pet care experience, whether in my home or at the client's residence.
