My Bestfriend

Dog sitting can be a rewarding experience especially to pet lovers like me. To some, taking care of other people’s pet can be a lucrative business. I’ve been dog sitting for my friend Shaun Olmstead every time he goes on his business trips. Actually, I’m always looking forward to his trips abroad because I’m going to spend some fun time with his lovable pooches.

Taking care of other’s pets is really simple. A natural affinity to animals is a huge plus though. If you are squeamish, this endeavor is not for you: remember that there is feeding, bathing, grooming and cleaning up of poop and pee involved.

Aside from the aforementioned tasks, giving the dog adequate exercise is also part of the job. Take him for at least a 20-minute walk. If there is a yard, spend time in it and look for toys to play with. Fetch and tug-of-war are usually a great workout, unless the dog is elderly or ill and needs to take it easy.

Give the dog plenty of love and attention. He is likely to be lonely and missing his family so do your best to give him a fun time. And I assure you, you will have fun too!
