Pet care experience

Atlanta Pet Caregiver/People Person

Hi, I am dog owner growing up. Since 2013, I frequently take care of my brother and sister-in-law's dachshunds, Ryder and Nova. I have experience house sitting and taking care of my friends' and family's pets, both dogs and cats. I have a background in hospitality: I am an AirBnB superhost where I list my spare bedrooms to traveling guests with pets. So I know how to accommodate to guests' needs and their pets, where I have done both pet sitting and dog walking for by guests. Additionally, my home is listed on SniffSpot as a private dog park for dog owners. I love animals. I am vegetarian, because I love animals. I look forward to meeting you and your pets. I also have a background in Product Management and as a Creative Producer in the software and video games industries. I enjoy working and collaborating with people and teams to find creative solutions to solve problems and reach goals. I feel the skills I have and have acquired, transferred well into my roles and jobs caring for pets and pet parents.

Justin is fantastic! He took such great care of our dog and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. He was also incredibly respectful of our home and somehow left it in even better condition than when we left! We came home to a happy pup and a spotless house. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Justin to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable!

Justin was such an amazing dog sitter for our pup Alita. He sent us pictures everyday and was very communicative! We will absolutely hire him again for any dog sitting needs in the future.

Justin took great care of our dog for an extended trip, was extremely communicative, and sent daily pictures. We felt confident our dog was in good hands and would work with Justin again.

I can’t say enough wonderful words about Justin. We are from out of town visiting family here in Georgia. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I required immediate dog-sitting services two days after we arrived here in Atlanta for different days and times during our almost 2-week stay. I started a search on the Rover site, placed a request and contacted three prospective pet sitters. Justin was the first to respond and in short order. Justin made himself available for a meet-and-greet the following day. I felt immediate relief after my first telephone conversation with Justin. I sensed he could feel my stress and put me at ease concerning his availability and willingness to help with a last minute pet sitting requirement. And I can say without a doubt that Justin was there for us at every twist and turn we required of his time. Justin was understanding of our at times unpredictable schedule and worked around his own personal schedule to accommodate our needs. Justin was always in communication with us as to arrival and departure times and carried out dog walking and feeding schedules as requested. Justin is personable and easy to work with and had no problem accommodating our most-of-the-time last-minute schedule. He is one of those rare individuals who senses your immediate need and carries out the task at hand. We highly recommend Justin for your pet-sitting needs.

Justin took wonderful care of my dog, Huey, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. He kept me updated throughout Huey's stay, which gave me real peace of mind. When I picked Huey up, he was calm, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. That was a huge difference compared to the last few times I picked him up from other kennels, when he seemed much more stressed. It's obvious Justin genuinely cares about the dogs he watches and creates an environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I highly recommend Justin to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive dog sitter. I'll definitely be booking with him again!

When Roxy and I met Justin, everything went well. He’s a nice person and has a kind spirit. However, I booked a house sitting, and did not receive that service. I was under the assumption that Justin would be staying with Roxy for extended amount of time like we agreed, but I got a call from my front desk stating that Roxy was barking for 8+ hours for the duration of my 2 day trip. I did not book dog walking service, as I know Roxy can get anxious when she’s left alone. That phone call was one of the most scary and nerve wrecking calls a pet owner can get.

Please let me know if there is anything I should know ahead of time. Outside of the usual. It's good to know their allergies, triggers, and/or physical limitations (like for dachshunds, not allowing then to jump from places to prevent spine damage, etc.).
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
