I've taken care of neighbors pets since I was 16.
I stayed in Nigeria so having a pet was high maintenance but I always volunteered to do it for free or money cause being around animals fulfill me. my jobs included:
Feeding and Nutrition: This involves preparing meals, measuring portions, and making sure they have access to clean and fresh water.
Exercise and Physical Activity: Pets, especially dogs, require regular exercise to stay healthy and happy. my role included walking dogs, playing with them, and providing opportunities for physical activity to prevent obesity and promote overall well-being.
Basic Grooming: Grooming tasks vary depending on the type of pet. Dogs might need regular brushing, nail trimming, and bathing. Cats might need assistance with grooming their fur as well. Ensuring proper hygiene contributes to the pet's comfort and health.
Litter Box and Cage Cleaning: For pets like cats and small rodents, maintaining a clean environment is essential. This involved regular cleaning of litter boxes, cages, and living spaces.
Communication with Pet Owners: Effective communication with pet owners is vital to understand their expectations, concerns, and any specific requirements for their pets.
Emergency Care: I'm prepared to handle emergencies and I know basic first aid for pets. Knowing when to seek veterinary care is crucial.
I have a cat at home so I have always been open to taking care of animals since a very young age. I have always volunteered to take care of my friends pets and feed them when needed. I have a great connection with animals and I hope I can share time with yours.
