I've know Chezy for 18 years. He is a loyal and trustworthy person. When he first moved to the Northern Virginia area he helped me and my husband out on many occasions - he watched our pets (dog and cat) and our house when we took business trips and family vacations. He usually went above and beyond to bring in our mail and keep the house clean. I never doubted his integrity to ensure our house would be safe. He is a person of high morals and I would highly recommend him to anyone to house sit and care for a family pet(s). Very respectfully, Stephanie

Why I want to house sit

As a vanlifer, I move around the country when I am not working. It’s nice to be able to stretch my legs, and stay warm in the winter and cool down in the summer.
