You will be expected to visit the client’s home while they are away, and provide food, water and love to their animals. You will change litter, take them for walks and provide loving care as if they were your own. In the case of ederley or infirm animals who may not be able to go for walks, you will be expected to spend that time with them, showing them affection and care. Additionally, certain household duties will become your responsibility such as mail collection, open and closing curtains and energy conservation (turn OFF the lights!!).

Pet Boarding/Doggie Daycare

Pet boarding and Doggie Day Care are, if anything even more important than the home visits as our clients are allowing you to take their loved ones to your home for safe keeping.
