进入12月以来，越来越多的朋友询问狗子寄养问题。回国朋友要将狗子寄养，毕竟狗子进出境要面临检疫等诸多环节。假期留在墨尔本不回国的人，接个狗子寄养，作伴还有零花钱收入。
对于想要接寄养或刚开始做寄养的人，建议做好以下的多个方面的思想准备和行动准备，看看自己是否适合做寄养狗子的pet sitter。
1 Hygiene Issues
No matter how clean a dog is, it will leave a lingering “dog smell” to your house. Stray fur would be another concern. So frequent cleaning would be needed.
2 Be prepare to spend time with the pet
Dogs need walls at least once a day to exercise or pee and poo. An easy way to know is to simply ask the dog parent how frequently their dog needs to be walked.
3 Dogs may not be friendly towards others dogs
It’s always advisable to have a meet and greet between your dog and the client’s dog. Sometime dogs might play rough and cause injuries while playing with each other.
4 Be cautious no matter how friendly the dog is
They may bite, and it won’t be pleasant, especially since you are a stranger to it after all.
5 Do not take their toys away unnecessarily
They might become aggressive as they would feel threatened.
6 Invest in a pair of animal handing gloves
Gloves will save you a lot of unnecessary pain while handing the dog.
7 Check if the dog has fleas
You should check the dog thoroughly before accepting it in on your home.
8 Check the dog for skin infections or injuries
Do inform the pet parent if you find any infections or injuries. Take a photo of it and inform that these were present prior to you hosting their dog.
9 Prepare a boarding checklist
Inform pet parents to provide necessary items to make life easier for you and the pet.
10 Keep numbers of local vets in your area
Just in case in an emergency or for general advice.
最后，祝pet sitter们有个美好的顺利的开始！
