About: I have an adorable rescue dog named Ollie. He is almost 4 years old and such a good boy. I also used to have dogs when I was younger. My work allows me chunks of time off between jobs. Often, I’ll end up with a month or so at home. I take lots of neighborhood walks with my dog. I have a fenced yard and a dog of my own to keep yours company. There is also an option to section off the house with a dog gate if needed.

“Fantastic Job! Luis B has been our private dog/house sitter for the last 8 years. Our typical agreement was 1-2 weeks at a time at 1-3 times a year while vacationing. We used Luis for a few in between week-end needs as well. We have a Great Dane and a GSP and they love him. He took them for walks, fed, watered and cleaned up after them daily. Also kept the house in order as handed over to him during his stays. What was nice to see that he has a kind heart and was never mean.”
