I am currently working part time for myself, at most I would have to leave the house for 4-6 hours some days. I have plenty of time to take your pet to any of their favorite places or to play with them at your home! I do have some standing events on Thursday and Saturday nights where I would be away for longer periods of time, otherwise I am content to send my time with a laptop and internet connection and caring for your furry loved one!

Justin is one of the most skilled animal handlers I've worked with. We rehabilitated dogs and cats with challenging behaviors in a shelter, and I consistently saw his calm, patient handling build trust with fearful, reactive, and overstimulated animals. His ability to read body language, adjust his approach, and use fear-free, positive reinforcement techniques made him exceptionally effective. His CPDT certification further strengthened an already impressive foundation, making him an outstanding trainer and advocate for animal welfare.
