Pet care experience

I have over 20 years experience with multiple different breeds, including pit bulls, golden retrievers, labs, golden doodles, great Danes, German Shepards, and many other breeds. Experienced dog walker and hiker so if you have a high energy 4 legged friend let this veteran care for them and let them enjoy the acres of apple trees in our open back yard and kennels. Previous homeoweners bred and raised St. Bernards on site! We have outdoor kennels for those doggies who cant get enough fresh air during the day as well as plenty of space inside for when the weather becomes less than desirable. We also keep healthy treats handy and will spend our down time working on new tricks and commands, looking forward to meeting your fur family and making them apart of our own! I utilize Jiobit for pets to ensure your pets safety at all times, i find it will also give clients a peace of mind to know what their loved one is up to all day while in my care. With a simple smart phone application, you can receive instant alerts whenever your pet has left the designated safe area , while also knowing your not shelling out your hard earned money to have your loved pet sit in a cage or room all day Don’t be afraid to send me a message to set up a meet and greet for your furry family members today! Business cards are available on site or by mail via special request What Justin would like to know about your dog 1) Is your dog spayed or neutered? THIS INFORMATION IS REQUIRED BEFORE WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE BOOKING PROCESS. If your dog is not spayed or neutered I am sorry that I cannot accept your reservation request. Please provide this information upfront and complete this question on your dogs profile. 2) How does your dog behave around other pups? IF YOUR DOG IS AGGRESSIVE I AM NOT ABLE TO HAVE THEM FOR A VISIT. If you are not sure, let's talk about and find solutions. 3) Is your dog house trained? There is a higher fee for dogs that are not house-trained, use puppy pads or have incontinence issues. 4) Is your dog up to date on all vaccinations? THIS IS REQUIRED, Thank you! 5) Is your dog on flea prevention? THIS IS REQUIRED, Thank you! 6) Does your dog have separation anxiety? Let's talk about it and find solutions. 7) Has your dog ever escaped? Let's talk about it. Responses to the questions above are very important for both of us to determine if this is the right fit for everyone. Additionally we will arrange a Meet N Greet before finalizing any reservation request. This is so we can learn even more information about each other which will ensure the right decision being made for a perfect visit for your precious pup!

Justin was absolutely wonderful with our Golden Retriever, Gunner. He helped me out on a day I needs to be out of town. Justin came to my home and cared for Gunner as well as walked and played with him. We already have booked Justin again for future dates. We love Justin!

Justin is the first person we used through Rover and as long as he is available he will be the last. He made time to meet us and our dog prior to the first booking, and our dog is a big fan. Justin is caring and professional. He sends us pics and updates. He responds promptly to reservation requests and questions. No worries about our doggo, excellent care there.

Justin did an excellent job with our dog Gunner. We were very concerned to leave Gunner for a week because he suffers from anxiety. Justin walked Gunner daily, had him outside playing with his dogs, and even let Gunner sleep with him. We received pictures and updates daily. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Gunner.

With you permission your dogo will enjoy a combination of the wind in their ears as we drive to a secluded and seldom used trail at the end of Knight Rd , depending on your pups energy and stamina we have a 3 mile round trip with plenty of exciting scenery to intake and nice forest floor so you don't have to worry about burnt paws when the summer gets going. I always carry 3L of water and a collapsible bowl so we all stay hydrated
