To thrive as a 24 Pet Watch professional (pet sitter/monitor), you should possess strong animal care knowledge, basic first aid for pets, and previous experience handling different types and breeds of animals. Familiarity with scheduling software, security camera systems, and digital communication tools is often required. Reliability, attention to detail, and compassionate communication with both pets and their owners are standout soft skills. These abilities ensure the safety, well-being, and trust of both animals and clients in a round-the-clock care environment.
