Pet care experience
Compassionate Care for Every Pet
My life has always been shaped by animals, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I grew up in an environment filled with a wide variety of animals, from household pets to farm and small exotic animals, which gave me a deep respect for their unique needs and personalities. In high school, I was involved in 4H, where I raised pigs and learned the responsibility, patience, and commitment that animal care requires. As an adult, I have continued that lifelong connection through caring for companion animals as well as birds, reptiles, and aquatic life. I also have experience with puppies, basic dog training, and senior dog care, including administering medications and injections when needed. I bring attentiveness, reliability, and genuine care to every pet I look after, treating each one as if they were my own.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I provide attentive, responsible care exclusively in my clients’ homes. I am conscientious, respectful of each space, and maintain a clean and calm environment. I do not smoke or drink, and I am happy to care for plants, bring in mail, and manage packages while you are away. Because I work for myself and locally as an artist, I am easy to reach and rarely far from home, allowing me to respond quickly to check ins, schedule changes, or urgent needs. I prioritize clear communication, consistency, and making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own familiar environment.
Ratings and reviews
This is our third or fourth time having Justin house and cat sit for us and we couldn’t be happier. It’s a gift to be able to travel with the peace of mind he offers.
Justin is the best! Pumpkin is so excited to see him every time and he always goes above and beyond!
Our difficult dog loves Justin! He is one of the very few people our dog trusts. Justin enables us to go away with peace of mind.
Justin is an excellent cat sitter. He always makes sure to send great pictures and updates, and makes me feel at ease when I’m away. He also always leaves my apartment very neat and clean.
As always, Justin is great to work with!
Justin did a great job walking our reactive rescue. Paddington looked forward to his daily walks. Justin was flexible and always on time. We highly recommend him.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am a local artist who works in the neighborhood, so I am never far from home and can provide frequent check ins, walks, and attentive care throughout the day. I have lifelong experience caring for animals, including fostering dogs and supporting pets with special needs or medication requirements. I work part time and am rarely away for more than a few hours, which allows me to adjust my schedule around each dog’s energy level, whether that means park time for active pups or quiet companionship for more laid back dogs.
