In Home Care-while taking precious care of your precious Pooch it is also equally important to treat the clients home with all due respect. This means keeping the house tidy, clean, and in the order the way the owner left it. I have dog and cat sit for a number of people and know the importance of keeping playtime calm, and cleaning up after thoroughly after any accidents. Walks- Having two labs myself who love nothing more than to run through the words, whether it’s must or not, I am very much aware of how easily a dog can get muddy and dirty, even when walking on a paved road. There are so many smells that simply can’t be ignored! When I walk my dogs I always give them enough rein to investigate, but not so much that they can get into trouble. I always wipe down my labs before they come in the house and do a quick tick check and remove any that I find before re entering the house. Drop in Visit-with a drop in visit I know how exciting and confusing it can be for dogs at first, wild barking and quivering excitement. With my own dogs and others I have babysat make sure that they are immediately greeted and are given a chance to say hello themselves before I move into the home. When babysitting my sisters dog, I make sure I know all feeding times, what her dogs favorite toy is, what to do to get the big boy to calm down, sleeping and napping habits and what the dogs overall temperament is. I inquire about the last time the dog was out and if he did his business or if he’ll need to go out again soon.
