Highlights
Pet care experience
Remote worker who loves dogs!
I have been the designated dog watcher in my family for over 5 years and have grown up with dogs. They are perhaps one of my most favorite animals. I take care to make sure that your pet is comfortable, has plenty of walks, snuggles if they want, and are treated like they were my own pet!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Great communication - took really good care of my dog. Would definitely recommend!
Justin was very communicative with me and very patient with my dog who was a little unsure of a stranger walking her. He suggested ideas to make the transition go smoother, did not rush the process, and I really appreciated it. I will definitely book additional walks and daycare with Justin in the future.
Was great at watching Marley! Sent me plenty of pictures and always responded quickly when I messaged asking for an update. Will def be using him again in the future. Thanks Justin!
Justin was great with Ziggy, and was very communicative and great to work with!
I can tell Joey and Scotty had a great time with Justin, as always. Cannot recommend him enough!
I feel incredibly lucky to have found Justin on Rover for my very high-energy English Cocker Spaniel, Ralph. I was out of the country for two weeks and had initially planned to leave Ralph with a friend. However, from the very first meeting, Justin was so reassuring and warm that I immediately knew he would be a perfect fit and I was absolutely right. Justin took Ralph to the park and out running every single day, played endless games of fetch, and sent me plenty of photos and videos. It was clear that Ralph was happy, active, and cared for like family. I’m extremely particular about who I trust with my dog, and I can honestly say that I won’t consider anyone else moving forward. Justin is hands down the best choice when it comes to caring for your dog: reliable, kind, and genuinely invested in your pet’s happiness and well-being. Thank you so much Justin, I am very grateful!

Schedule
I work remotely so I'm at my place a majority of the time. I run in the morning and go to the gym around 4pm everyday.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a walkable area of Long Beach, close to a dog park and just a short drive to the bigger dog park on 7th street. I have a backyard but will take your dog on plenty of walks throughout the day! I tend to give the pet a little space when they first are around me so they can become acquainted with me. Usually I like to make sure they know my smell. Then from there we develop a close relationship (your Doggo will be happy to see you during pickup but they will be excited to see me when they return!). I love dogs and understand that they are also animals and sometimes they need just a little time to get to know you!
A typical day
There are 2 dog parks near me and I always make sure to take them to one of them while watching (the bigger park requires some driving but I like to check ahead of time before going). If you prefer not then thats okay! I am right next to the beach so I can take your fur baby down for a walk next to the water.
