My experience

10+ years

At one point in the last 5 years, I had 3 dogs, 6 chickens, and a parakeet on a small, urban homestead. I'm also an avid gardener and love working with plants and flowers.

Josh was a great sitter for our dog, Boo. He has a very calm nature and wasn't phased by Boo barking at him, when they first met, until she realised he was a

Josh made the effort to get to our house extra early in the morning. He responded to messages quickly and our pets were cared for well. We would trust him to

Josh looked after Linda’s pets

Josh once had a dog who because of illness could only eat eggs. Josh cooked eggs for his dog every day.. When he had 3 dogs he faithfully got up early every morning, no matter the weather, to walk those dogs. He provided a loving home for those 3 rescue dogs. Even if inconvenient Josh is the kind of person who would care for your pet in the way you desire. I would trust Josh with my pets because he is conscientious, reliable and sensitive to pets emotions.

Why I want to house sit

After my spouse died, I sold my house and started traveling to see all the places we never got to see together. I love animals (more importantly, they love me!) and I miss being around pets on a daily basis.
