Pet care experience

Bigger is better, but all are loved

Have owned a black lab, golden retriever, and two rhodesian ridgebacks. Love bigger dogs and have been owning, caring for, and looking after dogs that need exercise, discipline, and fun as part of their routine - my ridgie Winston is available to help get energy out for doggos who need playtime. I charge more because your dog(s) will do far more than just sit around the house - they will join me on my daily adventures out in the world, playing at the park, hiking in the woods, exploring creeks and watering holes, meeting new dog friends, etc

Boarding • Sep 23, 2026

We have used Justin several times and he takes great care of Eleanor. He is communicative with us and makes sure she has a great time. He’s also very easy to work with on pick up and drop off. Justin is always my first call when I need a sitter.

Dog Walking • Sep 22, 2026

Justin has been absolutely amazing with my two Labs! He is extremely reliable, responsible, energetic, and clearly takes caring for the dogs seriously. My dogs absolutely LOVE him — they are so excited when he shows up for their daily walks, and they always come home happy and well exercised. I’ve also used Justin for daycare, and the fact that he will pick up and drop off the dogs is an incredible bonus and makes everything so easy. I have complete confidence that they’re in great hands with him. I highly recommend Justin!

Justin always does great with our Annie! We’re moving in a few weeks and we will be so sad he won’t be with us!

Let me know ahead of time about any temperamental issues, any diet or food needs, any special commands, or any "rules of the house" that should always be obeyed by the furry ones of the house. Also, please let me know if you'd like my dog (Winston, the one with me in the sweater) to come and play with your pup(s) - he's super duper friendly with dogs and plays well with pups of all sizes. N.B. - 1) You will need to schedule a paid walk or drop in to make sure it’s a great fit before booking multiple drop ins or walks, house sits, boarding, or day care 2) If your dogs need to be potty/house trained; if you need pickup/drop off before 8am or after 8pm; if you request a booking with less than 2 hours notice; then there will be additional charges added to your booking. If you wish to board a puppy under six months old the price is $150/night, no exceptions. 3) For house sitting requests, my dog(s) join for added playtime. For boarding requests, there will always be other dogs with me so your dog must be able to socialize with other (big) dogs. 4) I also provide private obedience training for an additional $45/half hour or $75/hour - please mention training in your initial message if you are interested. 5) I provide e-collar training for dogs and owners for a one time fee but we will need to establish a working relationship and good fit for your dog(s) first. This training usually takes 3-6 weeks. 6) Your dogs must be vaccinated and up to date on their shots. No exceptions for any reason, including puppies.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
