Safety, trust & environment

I currently live with my sisters' 2 Labradoodles, and as such each day it's my duty to make sure they're let outside between 7:30-8am, given a Greenie dog brush treat when they return, have a clean, full water dish with clean filters, are generally behaved and not causing damage to anything (rip Birkenstocks, you'll be missed), played with, are fed between 5-7pm, and let outside throughout the day until last call at 10pm. Regarding house sitting, my bounds all depend on the dog(s) themselves as well as your personal preferences. If they have seperation anxiety, need attention 24/7 due to medical reasons or just want someone to play with, then I have no issue staying all days and/or nights for them, but if they need only to be checked on routinely then I would be absent from the home so as to value your privacy. At the time of writing this I have no scheduling issues with staying overnight during house sitting calls, but if you only need check-ins then I can check in as many times as necessary.

Information Justin M. would like to know about your pet

Regarding any dogs or cats with special needs/dietary restrictions/medications etc, I have no issue with taking their requirements in stride. For my communication style, 80% of pre-appointment contact will be done through text on the Rover app, but should anything happen on the job that requires your attention or if I have any pressing questions regarding their care then I am open to calling you or FaceTiming.

A typical day

While looking after your dog, I am fully prepared for any type of fun that should come our way, if they want to play fetch, tug-o-war, frisbee, run in circles, I'm up for anything!

Justin was a fantastic pet sitter to our senior dog and cat. He had great communication, was super responsive, and left our home immaculate. We will definitely have him back in the future!

Justin did great with my 13 year old blind and deaf Shih Tzu. Because of my fur baby’s condition, he has special needs to make sure he stays safe and secure. Justin was attentive to his needs, provided me with regular updates, and was very communicative with scheduling and coordination.
