You will help feed the dogs as directed. You will help scoop up behind the dogs. You will also help clean the areas next to where the dogs stay. You will take your turn cleaning the outside enclosures. You will help pick up dishes, and laundry, put on laundry, bring clean laundry to the appropriate areas, you will take your turn at putting laundry on to wash and dry, will help with putting the dog's bowls in the dishwasher, and then put them away. you will help take the dogs for walks and playtimes. You will need to be calm yet positive and energetic when you interact with the dogs. There is a somewhat similar routine for the kitties who are staying with us. Not everyone works with cats as some folks are allergic to kitties. You may help bring some dogs up to the reception room when a pet parent comes to pick up their fur baby. At that time you may let the pet parent know what a wonderful fur baby they have and how much fun you have taking care of them.
