- Communicate any concerns to management and pet owners
- Send clients visit updates and photos
- Clean up after pets and leave their space clean and comfortable
- Safely handle dogs of different sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments
- Make sure pets are properly secured during walks and visits
- Provide basic grooming such as brushing when requested
- Follow company safety and pet-care procedures

- Pet body language and behavior
- Basic veterinary terminology
- Animal first aid and CPR
- Caring for pets with medical or special needs
Requirements
