“Great dog walker! Not even a flat tire will stop Chastity!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was 17 for family and friends. I've grown up with cats and dogs at home. My family and I still have pets, I love them dearly. I work full-time but I can still manage house sitting, walking and drop in visits. I have weekends off and also every Wednesday off. I recently house sat my friend and their dog Sadie. When house sitting, I make sure I know where everything is for the animals. Once I arrive, if it's a dog, I make sure they get outside to potty. Clean up any messes. Feed them and spend some quality time with them.

“Met Josh for an interview and he took his time coming through the door to make sure my dog was comfortable, that was great. We all went for a walk and chatted about what I was expecting as an owner and what was best for my dog. I hired him for a few walks to see how it went and everything was wonderful. Very respectful, sent photos and updated me when he arrived, walked and left. We are very happy to have someone so responsible and kind when we are gone from the house. Shorty says Hire Josh :)”
