What's a Good Indicator Of The Employee Your Prospective Dog Walker Or Pet Sitter Will Become?

A good insight into the makeup of your prospective walkers is how they speak of and treat their past and present employers. If a prospective walker is presently working another job you can see how much respect they give their present boss. When you ask the applicant how much notice they need to give their present employer before leaving the job listen closely to their answer. Do they show respect for the position they are about to put their present boss in? Or do they show no concern at all? How do they speak about their present boss? Or their past bosses? Do they go out of their way to speak badly about them? These are all very bad signs and I'd make a strong mental note. When I think of those applicants I hired who spoke badly of their past bosses, almost all of those walkers ended badly here. If they had problems with their past boss(es) and left them short-notice they could just as easily do it to you...
