I currently have a pretty fluid and flexible work schedule between the multiple jobs that I have. It changes from week to week, but I consistently have free time most mornings and evenings, and on varying afternoons from week to week as my work schedule changes. Throwing a walk into the mix before or after my regular shifts won't be too challenging!

Safety, trust & environment

There are no other pets in my current living situation. I have private space to myself in the basement suite and am able to isolate pretty well down here, but have roommates upstairs for more social time. Despite not having a fenced in yard, I have a fenced in deck patio, and live only a few blocks away from the rail trail and many other great walking paths.

Dog lover seeking dogs for walks :)

Pet care experience

I've been a dog lover for as long as I've been alive! My family has always been dog oriented, and having been surrounded by pets since early childhood, I've looked at them as a mainstay in my life and have been fortunate enough to learn and develop amazing relationships with so many dogs over the years, including shelter dogs of all backgrounds, as I've spent time volunteering at the SPCA in Castlegar over the last few years.

John has been walking my high energy shepherd puppy for a couple of weeks now and has been an absolute blessing! He’s reliable, patient, and great with dogs. Highly recommended John Martin.

John Martin was an excellent caregiver for my dog Homer. He is clearly an animal lover, and was patient and respectful of Homer’s needs. He also loved playing with Homer and matched his energy levels. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend John Martin to anyone looking for a reliable, kind and caring dog sitter.

Marty is a great dog sitter! He’s easy to communicate with, always makes me feel at ease and looks after my dog like it’s his own. Duke always comes home happy and tired from having fun. I would highly recommend Marty for dog sitting and walks in Nelson.
