Pet care experience

Ever since I was born, I have been fortunate enough to have pet dogs in my life. Caring for my furry friends is second nature and something I love doing. Rest assured that when you leave your furry family member with me they will be treated with the up most care and attention, as if they were my own. I know the kind of care I would want my pet to receive and I will go out of my way to make sure that your dog receives that and more. When you choose to board your pet with me, your dog will have a house with a fenced in backyard to explore and call home for their stay. The house is kept very clean and has been dog proofed (no object that your pup could get into and eat or get hurt from). Additionally, two blocks from the house is the South Side Dog Park, which has a large dog and small dog fully fenced area. With the owner’s permission, I will take any pet to the park to run around and play with the other dogs. In addition, I live with my wife, Maddi, and our 1 year old corgi, Piper, who both love to have other dogs visiting. While your dog stays in our home, it will receive endless love and play time from all three of us. I work weekdays 9-5 downtown. When watching a dog, I walk each dog in the morning before work, immediately after work, usually going to the dog park, and then before bed. However, if requested, I will be able to leave work at lunchtime to take out your dog (only for dogs boarding at my apartment or on certain basis for other jobs). Weekends I am completely free and usually like to go explore new parks, new parts of the city, or go on hikes. If you approve, your dog will accompany me, receiving lots of exercise they would never receive being locked up at a kennel or even in a home. I am extremely flexible and would love to work with each client to create a specialized schedule for each of my furry guests. Every owner will have different concerns and requests and I will do my best to work with you and create a schedule that works well for every party involved. If requested, I can also include dog washing for an additional price. Please reach out to me and together we can create the most ideal situation for your dog while you are out of town or unable to look after them! I look forward to meeting both you and your pup!

Justin is fabulous. My dog is more like a cat -- is pretty indifferent to people. But she loved Justin and he gave her all the love and care that she could ever want. He walked her, took her to the dog park, and she was a very happy girl. I cannot say enough good about our experience with Justin and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wonderful person to take care of their dog. 5+ stars!

Justin and Maddy were absolutely phenomenal with our girls! Our dogs are very human shy and need sitters that are patient and fluent in "dog language". We were able to easily set up a meet and greet with Justin and a stay. Justin and Maddy were so patient and kind with Suma and Rogue . This definitely took the time to get to know us, get to know our dogs, and also get to know our dogs daily routine. Justin was so great with communicating with us; he kept us updated as he knew we were anxious about leaving them for the evening. We were elated to hear that Suma and Rogue were comfortable enough to go on a walk with Justin and cuddle with him and Maddy! We will definitely be rebooking Justin when the need arises! Thank you both again!!

Justin was great! This was our second time leaving our pup with him and he did a great job of keeping us updated and doing fun things with her. She definitely enjoys going there and hanging out with his dog, Piper!

Justin was great! He kept us in the loop all weekend, which was really nice because as a first time Rover user, I was a little nervous leaving Luna with someone new. I got regular updates and pictures and felt reassured that she was in great hands.

Information Justin K. would like to know about your pet

Just general information about each dog. How often do they eat, how often do they go out, can they have treats, what toys they like, any allergies or special needs. Anything you think would be important for me to know so I can provide the best possible care to your pup.

A typical day

Close by is Lafayette Park, which has a fairly large dog park. Each dog will have time to play and socialize with other dogs at the dog park. Walks will also include long neighborhood walks, walks to Lafayette Park, walks to Alta Plaza Park, and on weekends long walks in either Golden Gate Park, Presidio, or Lands End. I also love to hike around the bay area so, if I have your permission, I can bring your dog along for a nice weekend hike!
