Pet care experience

Your pets home away from home

I have been caring for dogs for the past 16 years, from neighbors and friends to families who have trusted me with their beloved fur babies. I have several years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior dogs who may need a little extra attention and care. I also have a roommate who helps with their care and, like me, works from home. This means your dog will have someone home with them throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. We work together to make sure every dog receives plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and the individualized care they need to feel comfortable and at home while you’re away.

Justin was great with my puppy! He was very flexible and great to work with from the meet & greet to taking care of my dog.

Justin is truly the best sitter! I was away for three weeks, which is the longest I’ve ever been apart from Zen, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. I had a tracker on Zen, so I got to see all the fun adventures they went on together every day, and it made me smile knowing he was so happy and loved. When Zen was dropped off, he came back fresh, clean, and so well cared for. Honestly, it was like he hadn’t missed us at all! he was having such a great time that he didn’t even want to leave Justin! That says everything about the love, attention, and care given. Knowing Zen was so happy gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would trust Justin again in a heartbeat and can’t recommend him enough!

Justin truly cared about making sure my dog Sioux was happy and comfortable. He is super friendly, responsive, and made sure Sioux got a workout during her stay. When I picked her up, she was tired and clearly enjoyed her stay. I would absolutely recommend Justin and look forward to booking with him again. Thank you!

Justin was amazing with my dear George! I got wonderful updates and George was happy and tired when he returned home. Thanks for taking care of him for such an extended period!

Justin is incredibly reliable and made the whole process stress-free. Communication was seamless from start to finish—he provided consistent updates and photos of Echo, which I really appreciated.
