Pet care experience
Hello Everyone! My name Is Justin, I'm 29 years old & I have had dogs since I was a 5 years old but started looking after friends/family members pets at the age of 15 and I am a professional Dog-sitter that has over 10+ years of "Professional" experience with Large & small Dogs. I personally owned a Shitzu & a Rottweiler growing up and have now purchased my own home that has a Large front & back yard to provide your Pet(s) with lots of space to run around & have fun! All pets will get bi-hourly Bathroom breaks and Lots of Love & play time in-between. I Work from home & Live alone so my schedule is available fulltime for your needs! I absolutely love animals & dogs in particular so dog-sitting is a dream job come true for myself! All new clients are welcome to view the entire property "Inside & Out" to see where their pets will be staying/playing during their time here.
Reviews
Louie loves his time with Justin! Thanks again Justin, for providing such peace of mind for us and such kindness and care for our senior pup!
Justin was great with our pup Maverick. Kept him as active as he could given the rainy weather and kept us posted with great updates and lots of pictures. For our first time leaving our pup anywhere for a couple nights, it could not have gone better!
Justin was a wonderful host for my dog Gustav. His updates were a highlight of my morning. I was never in any doubt that Gus was in caring and experienced hands. Justin's professionalism was apparent from the first interaction, he had a host of questions that I answered, then he put those answers in a spreadsheet so they would be available during my trip. This small part of the experience really sold me. I would recommend Justin to anyone and everyone.
Justin was great with my Ivy while I went on vacation for a week. It was Iy's first time being away from me for that long and she did wonderfully. Justin took her out as much as he could with the cold and rain, sent photos and updates everyday and is very positive. I so appreciated the care he took with her and was a bit worried she'd want to stay there instead of come back home to me! Thanks so much!

Safety, trust & environment
When it comes to Safety & trust I take both extremely seriously. I will not let your pet off their leash in an ungated area unless it has been permitted by the client & it has been shown the pet can be recalled successfully. I do have a Large front & back yard that are unfenced but I live in a fairly quite area that cars don't often come by. I also mainly stick to the backyard and keep treats on me at all times to ensure a successful recall of your pet (if not on a leash). I can also just keep your pet Leashed when going outdoors and I will "NEVER" take your pet for walks unleashed as I deem it to unsafe, regardless of the pets recall abilities. Safety is my #1 Concern! If you have any additional questions, please feel free too ask.

Information Justin H. would like to know about your pet
Knowing your Dogs Diet and health condition is one thing i ask all clients to provide with me ahead of their appointment as their Health & safety is my #1 Priority. Also if there pet(s) have any food aggression and are friendly towards other dogs are also very important to know before hand and we determine if I take on any other clients the same day I would be looking after your pet(s).
A typical day
What A Typical day looks like for me caring for your pet(s) is normally starts with making sure they are well hydrated and I'll put some *Client approved food" out incase they're hungry and once their done, the day of Play/Fun Begins! First we start with playing fetch in the backyard to burn off their peak energy and after about 30-45 minutes of playing in the backyard we will go for a walk on either the road or on a trail behind my house (I prefer the trail due to there not being any traffic). After we get back, A tick check and lots of love to be given and of course there water bowls & food bowls are always filled. After that we normally chill out inside for a bit to get A Break from the heat (AC included) and then generally it's up to the clients pet(s) on what they want to do! I normally go by their body language and if they seem playful, we go outside and burn off that energy. If they are sleepy, I will groom/pet them and do extensive tick checks in the downtime that we are inside.

Pet care fits perfectly into my routine as I work from home & my work is mainly investment based so I only spend a few hours in the morning & at night working. The Majority of my time is spent playing/interacting with the clients pet(s) and building a relationship with your pet! It's important to me that the pet feels as comfortable & Happy as my client is about leaving their pet with me in my care. Overall the clients pet(s) is my main priority throughout my day and if I ever find myself needing to focus on my day-job, I don't take any clients/pets during that time to ensure I can provide the best service possible! Plus I find myself hanging out with the dogs more then doing the work I should be lol
