Availability

I work early mornings and am usually available after 12 PM or all day for my days off which vary. From that time onward, I can care for your pet for as long as needed. For full-day sittings, I’m happy to discuss earlier drop-off times; please note that if my roommate isn’t home, your furry friend would be alone for that portion of the day. For home visits, I’ll arrive at the earliest time that’s convenient for you and your pet.

Information Justin D. would like to know about your pet

Before watching your pet, I love learning about their normal routine and personality so I can make their stay as stress-free and comfortable as possible. It’s always helpful to know their feeding schedule, potty routine, favorite activities, sleeping habits, any medications, and how they do around other people or pets. Please also share any quirks, anxieties, or commands they know so I can care for them the way they’re used to.

A typical day

While caring for your dog, I do my best to stick closely to their usual schedule so they feel comfortable and stress-free. A typical day includes morning potty breaks, meals, walks or playtime, regular bathroom breaks throughout the day, and lots of attention and companionship. Depending on your dog’s personality, we can spend time playing, relaxing, going on walks, or just enjoying some cozy downtime. I’m also happy to follow any specific routines, medications, or care instructions you provide.

Pawsitively Reliable Pet Care

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a dependable and attentive pet lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets, and I always do my best to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I also have a cat of my own, Bean, which has given me daily hands-on experience with feeding routines, enrichment, litter box maintenance, and understanding different pet personalities and behaviors. Along with personal pet care experience, I also have professional experience working at both Petco and PetSmart, where I gained valuable knowledge in pet care, nutrition, supplies, and the unique needs of different animals. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or more shy and independent, I’m happy to adapt to their routine and comfort level. I currently work early mornings and am typically available after 12 PM for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. My goal is always to care for your pets like they’re my own and provide owners with peace of mind while they’re away.

Justin was great with my Belgian Malinois, Peanut. He arrived on time, was very patient, and listened carefully to all instructions. I appreciated how attentive and calm he was during the walk. Peanut seemed comfortable with him right away. Would definitely book again! In fact, I'm booking him again right now.

Justin took amazing care of Rio and was incredibly attentive to all of his needs. He was very patient, followed every instruction perfectly, and made sure Rio was comfortable and happy throughout. On top of that, Justin was great with other pets as well, which gave me even more peace of mind. He treated my home with care and respect, just like his own. I’m truly happy with the experience and would absolutely love to have Justin back again for future sittings!

Justin is a true animal lover. He cared for my dog while I was out of town. He walked, cuddled and fed my pet. When I returned my dog was happy and healthy. It’s such a relief to know that I have someone caring for my pet the same way that I would while I’m away. Highly recommend Justin!
