As a petsitter or dog-walker, I will make sure to communicate with you to understand how I can best take care of your pet(s). If I'm walking your dog(s), I'll be careful to avoid allowing them to get overheated (especially in these Texas summers!), keep them hydrated, clean up their waste, and make sure I understand what the appropriate length and intensity of walk is for a given dog. If I'm doing a drop-in visit or house-sitting for any dog(s) or cat(s) in your home, I'll make sure that their needs are cared for (such as food, water, and potty needs), spend time with them (playing and showing affection), and provide any special care that they need (like giving medications). If you book me for an hour-long drop-in visit or house-sitting, I'm happy to do a dog walk(s) in addition to regular duties. If I'm doing an overnight visit, I'll stay the whole time unless we discuss my leaving for a short time. For any service, I can provide pictures of your pet(s) and give updates on how they're doing!
