About Us:
At Your Pet AuPair, we're not just in the business of dog walking and cat sitting; we're in the business of happiness, one wagging tail and contented purr at a time. Our passion is to provide top-notch pet care that leaves tails wagging, whiskers twitching, and our clients raving about our services.

2. Pet Whisperer: An innate connection with animals and a genuine love for them is a must. While we provide training, we're looking for that natural confidence in working with pets, no matter how big or small.
3. Time Management Pro: Days can get busy as you juggle multiple appointments. Managing your time efficiently is the key to success.
4. Communication Guru: Clear, concise communication is vital. We believe in giving our clients peace of mind, and it starts with your updates.
5. Accountability: We're all about fantastic customer service, which means being quick to apologize when needed.
