Availability

I work with dogs full-time, so pet care is woven into my daily routine. I maintain a structured schedule that includes regular walks, rest periods, feeding times, and training moments as needed. Because this is my primary work, your dog isn’t squeezed in between other obligations—they get steady, present attention throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

My home environment is calm, clean, and intentionally structured. I use crates as safe resting spaces and to maintain routine. Dogs are supervised during all activities, and I do not introduce dogs to each other unless it is safe and appropriate. Walks are structured and done with secure equipment. I pay close attention to body language, stress levels, and environmental triggers to keep every dog safe. For in-home visits, I follow your dog’s routine and maintain your house rules with consistency and care. Your dog’s emotional wellbeing is equally important to me as their physical safety.

Information Justin P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has: - Any reactivity, anxiety, or specific triggers - Feeding routines or dietary notes - Crate experience or sleep preferences - Exercise needs or limitations - Social preferences around other dogs or people - Any behaviors you’re actively working on The more I know, the better I can support your dog with clarity and consistency.

A typical day

A typical day includes structured walks, mental engagement, rest periods, and grounding time. Dogs spend the day in a balanced rhythm of movement and relaxation. I avoid chaotic, high-adrenaline activities and instead focus on calm experiences that help dogs settle. Every dog’s routine is tailored to their needs—some do best with confidence-building walks, others with quiet structure and predictable transitions.

Trainer Providing Trusted Care

Pet care experience

I’m a professional dog trainer and the founder of Eternal K9, specializing in calm, relationship-based training. I work with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels, including anxious, reactive, or strong-willed dogs. My approach focuses on clarity, structure, and helping dogs feel safe and understood. I bring trainer-level awareness to every dog in my care—watching body language, setting healthy boundaries, and creating an environment where dogs can relax. I’m experienced with puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, and dogs who benefit from routine and stability. I keep my client load small so each dog receives consistent, individualized attention. Dogs are never rushed or overstimulated. Everything is done with intention and calm leadership. Owners choose me when they want someone who can support their dog emotionally as well as physically, not just provide basic care.

He’s a nice guy. Leana really liked him. He interacted well with her and took time to play with her.

Justin provided in-home care for our reactive rescue dog. We were very pleased with the care she received.

Highly recommend Justin! He did an incredible job managing my high-energy pup. He provided plenty of exercise and even worked on some basic training during their walks. Justin is clearly an animal lover and treated Kai like his own. Professional, reliable, and very easy to communicate with. Reliable, punctual, and great with my dog. The photo updates were much appreciated, and Kai clearly loved their time together. Thank you Justin !!!
