When caring for pets in their owner’s home, my focus is on maintaining the pet’s regular routine in their familiar environment. This minimises stress and anxiety for the pet. I follow the owner’s specific instructions for feeding, walking, and any medication schedules. I also ensure the home is secure and respect the owner’s privacy. Regular updates and photos are provided to the owner to assure them of their pet’s well-being. When it comes to walking dogs, their safety and enjoyment are my top priorities. I always assess the dog’s temperament and physical ability to determine the best route and duration for their walks. For lead-reactive dogs or those with specific behavioural needs, I choose quieter routes to avoid stressful encounters. I use sturdy, appropriate leashes and harnesses to ensure control and comfort. During walks, I remain vigilant about their surroundings, avoiding potential hazards like aggressive animals or unsafe areas. I also carry water, treats, and first-aid essentials to address their needs promptly. My goal is to make each walk a positive and safe experience, allowing the dogs to explore and exercise in a secure manner. This unique combination of skills enables me to address the specific needs of each pet, ensuring their well-being and helping them to overcome behavioural issues. This dedication to addressing complex canine behaviours sets me apart in the field of pet sitting.”
