Information justin b. would like to know about your pet

I like to know of any special needs your pet may have, dietary, medication etc. to ensure proper care is given. Also, not a requisite, l prefer that if I'm to take your dog anywhere off leash that they have strong recall skills and are non reactive to other people or dogs. If your pet doesn't exhibit those particular skills that's fine! I will adjust our activities accordingly. My goal is to make sure your pet is safe, comfortable and as cared for as my own pup is!

A typical day

I will keep your dog stimulated both mentally and physically, playing games and going for romps in the woods or beach depending on their needs. I also enjoy teaching dogs basic commands and some easy tricks!

Pet care experience

I have been the go to dog sitter for my friends and family for years. I am experienced with small/medium sized dogs of all ages. I'm very flexible and will do my best to accommodate special requests that are within my skill set. I also like to form long term relationships with pets and their families to ensure consistent care and the best experience for all involved.

I cannot express how grateful I was for Justin’s attentive care to my kitty and pup. I was abroad for a month and Justin stayed at my home. He sent me daily updates for both pets, including videos and pictures. He took my puppy on an adventure every day and when I came home she had learned some new commands like Stay, Place, etc. My apartment was cleaner than I left it and my landlord even texted me about what a great home/pet sitter he was. Truly a dream to have found him. Justin was very attentive to my dogs prescription/restrictive diet and was able to get my cat to take his medications - a true feat. My cat, who doesn’t really care for anyone, really warmed up to Justin as evidenced by pictures of him on his lap. My dog definitely missed him when he left after my return home. I will absolutely be calling Justin again with pet sitting needs.

Justin was an absolute treasure! I came home to a very happy and tired little man. Justin was incredible at keeping me updated on the adventures of the day. My dog has pretty bad separation anxiety and Justin was very patient with Uncle Peanut after I left and managed to comfort him quickly. I cannot recommend him enough!!!!!

We had a great experience with Justin. He handled dog walking, drop-ins, and overnight care, and was reliable, communicative, and clearly comfortable managing different needs and energy levels. Our dogs were well cared for, routines were followed, and we received consistent updates that made it easy to relax while we were away. He was attentive, calm, and thoughtful throughout — exactly what you want when trusting someone with your pets and your home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would confidently recommend him to others.

Justin would be a wonderful pet sitter. He is a loving, kind and trustworthy person. I have personally seen how he is with animals. He treats them with love, kindness and patience. Anyone would be very lucky to have someone like Justin care for their beloved pets.
