Well-trusted Petsitter
Pet care experience
I was taught at a young age how to train care for dogs from my uncle who trained service dogs. My ability to keep dogs well-behaved has been noticed and praised by neighbors of the households I care for on multiple occassions. In fact, one of them recommended that I train dogs for a living. I have cared for many breeds including: German Shepherd (Allie), Rottweiler (Cheyenne), Australian Shepherd mix (Sam), Border Collie (Miss Mollie), Chihuahua (Snickers and Heidi), and Maltese (Abby and Lulu). Though, to be honest, I have a soft spot for Golden Retrievers and Black Labs. As for your house, I live by the old southern rule: leave something in the same condition as you found it, if not better. This means that the dishes will be done and the floors swept and (if desired) vacuumed. Of course, this is your household and I will do any other tasks requested, aside from major projects and lawnwork. My experience has been with family and people I go to church with, and I do not plan on treating you any different than how I treat them. I will be unavailable at these times (after 10/25): Sun: 9:30am-1pm Mon: 3pm-9:30pm Tues: before 1pm Thurs: 10:30-1pm Fri: after 5pm
Reviews
I've known Jay for approximately 10 years. I was his Sunday school teacher for 4 of those years. He has been our in home dog sitter for the last 4 years. He's dependable, clean and my dogs like him. I would highly recommend Jay as a pet sitter and house sitter.
Jay has taken care and house sit our furbaby girls many times while my husband and I visit our daughters and their families every year for a while now. It is such a pleasure to have a young man like this take care of my fur babies and not have to worry about them while I'm gone. He has come over from time to time to visit and they are all so happy to see him when he comes. He is my go-to guy when I need someone to stay and take care of my girls, it's better for them because they are able to stay in their familiar surroundings instead of taking them to a kennel. I wholeheartedly trust this young man and I appreciate him coming to take care of my girls and I highly recommend him.

Skills
Information James W. would like to know about your pet
I prefer medium to large dogs. I would like to know any special feeding habits and any medication that the dogs are taking.
A typical day
I know that several Charleston County parks have dog parks within them and would be more than happy to take the dogs to the nearest one if so desired. Aside from that, just give me a rope toy or a tennis ball (or tell me to bring a new one) and I will make sure your dog will get plenty of exercise.
