Pet care experience

Laid Back Responsible Dog Lover

I have a well-trained husky named Luna who lives with me full-time. She’s 10 years old, calm, and well-socialized with other pets. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 8 years old, from puppies and kittens to senior pets with special needs. I’m confident working with many temperaments and breeds. I’m passionate about responsible pet care and training. I can assist with house training, reinforce positive behavior, and even teach a few fun tricks. Young animals are welcome, and I’m especially patient with shy or energetic pets—as long as their needs are clearly communicated. I have my kids full-time, and they’ve been raised around animals with lots of respect and love. This means your dog will be around a nurturing, safe, and socially enriching environment. Pets are welcome on furniture and beds, but I can also enforce your specific rules—Luna would follow those too while caring for your animal. I provide structure, flexibility, and a peaceful atmosphere pets can relax in.

Doggy Day Care • Oct 06, 2025

Justin is very attentive and compassionate with both his girl and any in his charge. My girl was just starting to warm up by the time I came to get her. She was in good hands.

Justin was responsive and took good care of wood the dogs. He helped them feel comfortable in his home and I think they came back knowing a new trick or two. He held in to them a few hours longer than expected when we had car trouble.

Justin has always gave sincere compassionate care to every dog he has cared for. He has trained a husky/wolf mix which is no easy feat.

Schedule

I’m currently unemployed and home full-time with my kids, so your pet will have near-constant supervision and care. I’m available weekdays and weekends, and I can accommodate everything from one-night stays to long-term boarding. My routine is flexible and built around making pets feel safe, seen, and part of the family.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome without a fenced yard, so all outdoor time is supervised and leash-walked. I take dogs out for regular walks and can also bring them to dog parks or open spaces for extra exercise and play, depending on your comfort level. I can crate Luna or your dog if needed, and I maintain clear boundaries when kids are present. Cleanliness, supervision, and emotional safety are always my top priorities.

Pets

A typical day

We’ll go on leash walks, explore nearby parks, and play at home with toys or my dog Luna. I offer light training, enrichment activities, and a calm environment for rest. If your dog enjoys adventures, we might head to the dog park or on a nature walk—if they’re more low-key, we’ll enjoy naps and slow mornings instead.
