Dog's best friend!

Pet care experience

Two key experiences have made me the man I am today––the first is having grown up with dogs, which was integral in teaching me the value of caring for another living being and understanding responsibility in a concrete way, and the other is becoming a father, which constantly makes you redefine what sacrifice and unconditional love truly mean. Growing up, my family raised primarily Boxers and larger dogs, but most recently, my little guy Rosco, an adorable Boston Terrier, is a big part of my life. I strive to be best dad and that includes being the greatest dog dad. In the past, I’ve volunteered at animal rescue and shelters and enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I’m an attentive, affectionate, and patient handler, and I hope I’m the same way to my son. I want to lead by example, and I seek balance, harmony, and peace in my life and with those around me. I’ll provide a safe, secure, and easy-going environment for your pup and I will treat them as if they were a part of my own family. I think it’s impossible to capture someone’s life, personality, and values in a couple of paragraphs since we’re a culmination of so many influences, experiences, and histories. All I can say is that I love animals (I also adore cats and am happy to watch cats too) and my family. I will always put their well-being above my own, I believe they bring ultimate joy to any household or situation, and I would relish the opportunity to help you while you’re away and give you peace of mind that your beloved pet is safe and sound.

It really bothers me that I have to write this review. I think Justin is such a great guy, but when I walked in my house there was dried pee all over the floor and the baseboards and small pieces of dried poop on the carpet. We have a dog that has problems, usually pooping on carpet. However he started peeing as well. We just moved to Texas and the stress may have caused the problem. However, I expected it to be cleaned up. I’m very disappointed.

My dog bailey loved Justin, she took to him immediately during the initial meet and greet. During the stay he took good care of her, gave her medications like I requested, and gave me updates daily on how she was doing. It was so nice to be able to keep her at home instead of sending her away to a boarding facility, and also to know that someone was watching over our house while we were gone. I would highly recommend Justin and would hire him again in the future!

Justin was great with my dog Beso! I travel a lot for work so it was nice to have someone reliable to watch him while I was away. Beso was older and needed special care and I always knew he was in good hands with Justin. I highly recommend Justin!

Justin was great. I would definitely use him again. It was great to go away and know that someone was taking care of our little ones. Being able to keep them home while we were away was great and we could tell that they happy to have been allowed to stay home instead of being boarded somewhere. Thanks so much Justin.

Information Justin L. would like to know about your pet

I’m diligent, communicative and punctual, and believe in creating a situation where both you and your dog feel as comfortable as possible (especially if you are going out of town and you are welcoming me into your home). I'd love the opportunity to help you out, and meet your dog. I'm a firm believer that they are an integral part of every family, and their happiness is my happiness when i'm working with them. I have no breed preferences, and am comfortable with all animals. I’d suggest a quick meet and greet before committing. You’ll know if it feels right. I’ll want to know everything there is to know (like diet, medications, walking preferences, barking, likes/dislikes, triggers, emergency contact info, etc.) so I can provide the best possible care. I will also gladly send you regular updates everyday by your preferred method. Whatever I can do to ease your worries, please don’t hesitate to ask! Spending quality time with your pup will bring me so much happiness, I’m really looking forward to working with you.

A typical day

Every morning will start with loving cuddles and kisses––there won’t be any rush. After some belly rubs, I’ll give your pup a hearty breakfast (as per your feeding instructions). Then we’ll go on a nice, long walk or run around the neighborhood. In the afternoon, we could visit a dog park or a nearby park or pet-friendly outdoor cafe. I love the outdoors and enjoy fitness, so we’ll get out and about as much as possible. That being said, I love being home in the evening, snuggling on the couch while we watch some TV or while I cook some dinner. It’ll be great to have a furry companion by my side again.
