Highlights
Pet care experience
Fenced Yard & Park Walks
I've grown up with family dogs since I was 8. I've been volunteering for dog care for 6 years with the SPCA. I've raised and trained my own dog (Golden Retriever) from 8 weeks to now her being 2 years old and gets along with every person and animal she's ever met. Meet & Greet I prefer to do a meet and greet with every new client. We can do this at my house in my fenced back yard and we can get to know each other while your pup can play and run around with my dog.

Ratings and reviews
Riley got great care from Justin. He got walks and made a new friend.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We couldn’t be happier with Justin and the amazing care he gave our Tucker! 🐾❤️ Tucker stayed with him for 5 days and 4 nights while we were away in Quebec, and Justin went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and well cared for. He kept us updated every day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Tucker had so much fun playing fetch, going on walks, and visiting the dog park. And of course, he had the best time with Justin’s Golden Retriever, Zoey! They became such good friends. 🥹 It honestly felt like Tucker was staying with his second family. Justin was so caring, attentive, and loving toward him, and we could tell Tucker had an amazing time. Thank you so much, Justin, for taking such wonderful care of our boy! We truly appreciate you and Zoey. Tucker definitely has a second family now, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have him stay with you again. Highly recommend! ❤️🐶
Justin is a very caring and attentive sitter. Our dog had a wonderful day with him, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands.
Eugene was tired out so that's a good sign that he had a great time with Justin and Zoey. He will stay there again for sure!!
I think Kane had a really great weekend with Justin and Zoey. I'm not sure he wanted to come home 😂
As a dog owner Justin has a great relationship with his dog he is very caring and shows great patience when teaching and caring for his dog. He also has a lot of experience with other dogs as he volunteers at the local SPCA for a number of years.Justin makes sure the dog has everything she needs with current vet check's, play time and enjoys taking her to the dog park everyday where she can mingle and play with a number of other dogs.I have 3 dogs myself and would recommend him he has looked after my dogs and I was very happy with the level of care he gave them.

Schedule
I work from home part-time so your pup will have plenty of attention throughout the day. We start mornings with breakfast and a walk around the neighbourhood before work. Lunch time we head to the off-leash park nearby to burn off energy and play to prepare for afternoon naps while I work. After work is supper and free play time however the pups want to enjoy themselves. On my flex days I'm home all day, so your dog will never be left alone for long and can enjoy a consistent, calm routine.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor play, and I keep a close eye on all pups during their stay. I only host dogs that are friendly and socialized, ensuring a positive environment for everyone. My home is clean, dog-friendly, and filled with cozy spots for napping between adventures.
Pets
A typical day
Take the dogs around the neighbourhood to check out the smells and stretch our legs in the morning and to the off-leash dog park nearby after lunch if they're comfortable in that environment. My house is also full of toys to play with including some puzzle toys to challenge their minds.
