Professional consultant + petsitter
Pet care experience
I am passionate about using my love for animals and years of caregiving experience to help other people find reliable care for their pets. I have thoughtfully balanced my (primarily remote) financial services consulting job and pet-sitting responsibilities since I graduated college so I can continue offering top-quality care and attention to the dogs and cats (and sometimes children) that I watch over. I only commit to services that I am confident that I can deliver the best performance in and have the most convenient availability to do. My childhood growing up was full of all sorts of pets including geckos, guinea pigs, frogs, and a westie. In college, I started using my free-time to offer pet care services including drop-in visits and house-sitting for families near the school. After graduating college, I moved to California and started working full-time as a consultant in the accounting field and continued to walk dogs and feed cats with the spare time I had. I have continued to prioritize my professional business career while being strategic with the time I make available to families who are looking for someone they can trust to take care of their pet (and home) well. I am only offering drop-in services within the Gold Coast/Old Town vicinity. I can house-sit in other Chicago neighborhoods. Please feel free to reach out to chat or schedule a time to meet.

About Justin L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I do not typically host pets in my own home. I have learned that asking the right questions can prepare me the best for house-sitting or visiting a client's home.
Information Justin L. would like to know about your pet
What are their usual habits both in and out of the house? How do they tend to show love to other people? How do they want to be loved?
A typical day
I'll usually make a point of grabbing a cup of coffee before taking a dog for a walk so that we can both enjoy the fresh air and city views. Since every cat has their own definition of fun, I'm happy to learn and follow it.

Availability
