Dog Walker/Pet Sitter

A dog walker/pet sitter takes care of animals while their owners are away from home. They may work for private companies or be self-employed. Dog walkers and pet sitters go to an animal’s home or the animal comes to them (i.e. doggy daycare). In general, they make sure that the animal has food, water, exercise and love.
