What does a Dog Walker do? 

Your goal is to ensure dogs enjoy regular exercise, loving companionship, and positive reinforcement.  Exercise through dog walks has huge mental and physical benefits for dogs as it increases serotonin, increases relaxation, keeps dogs in great shape, decreases problem barking, and provides them with mental stimulation as they sniff their surroundings.

• Visiting Pet Owner’s homes to take their dog for a walk for a 30-minute or 1-hour walk then safely return them home 
• Keeping dogs hydrated
• Ensuring dog walks are done in the early morning or evening to avoid the risk of heatstroke and burnt paws.
• Provide the leashed dog with clean water, pick up and dispose of their stools in the bin and report to the Owner any unusual consistency of their dog's stool. 
• Safely navigate dog introductions with other dogs and people
• Avoid situations that are anxiety-producing for their pet and will have full control of them at all times, especially during any trigger events such as birds, cats, traffic, or certain other dogs. 
• Positively Handling any Strong Unsocialised Dogs or Leash Aggression.
• Being prepared in Intense Weather (rain/hail/sun), 
• Being prepared if other Pet Owners who allow their dog off the leash in public with no control will come bounding over to your client’s dog.   

What Qualifications and experience are PetCloud looking for?
