Love dogs friendly responsible

I've been a FT house sitter with 3 large dogs. I took care of the dogs, house and lawn. I've lived with dogs my entire life; different breeds all at once. I have dealt with many different dog problems like weak stomachs and small bladders. I'm flexible and willing to work with you. I have learned to be patient with all dogs because they are all different. I can walk long distances with your dogs, for those needing that exercise and short walks around the block just for business. I am self motivated and would love to take care of your dogs for you. I do not mind brushing dog's hair and teeth or even giving them a bath. If your dog requires medicine, I can administer this also. My oldest dog I used to own, Taz, was a yorkie-poo, who late in life had many complications (heart murmur, torn ACL) but he was a great dog that just needed extra time and help.

Justin has an excellent "sense" of dogs and their needs. He suggested that my dog may be despondent when I asked him why my dog appeared to not eat. Justin, asked if there were any changes in the dogs environment and without knowing attributed the eating change to the recent move.

Justin is great with dogs! He loves them and treats him as his own. He is very caring about dogs and follows any special directions that you give him.

Justin is a longtime friend of mine, going back as far as Middle school. He would always come over to play video games after school and had a particular love for my Cockatiel, Jer. He would go straight to the bird cage to get Jer so that he could be perched on Justin's shoulder or head. All in all, I can vouch for Justin's love of not only pets, but all animals. He is caring, and it really seems that every animal that he comes in contact with naturally falls in love with him. I can see that from the relationship he has had with the dogs/cats/birds he has grown up with his entire life.

Justin is regularly known around our house as a dog aficionado. He is extremely caring and has an innate ability to communicate with animals. I guarantee he will do an amazing job caring for your dog.

Justin has always been so great with dogs. You could even say he's a dog whisperer! I've known him for 5 years and he has always shed light on how dogs think and how to make them happier. When we had just moved to a new state, I noticed my dog was depressed and sleeping all the time since we were at work all day and we were no longer in a bustling area with lots of people watching from our windows. Justin suggested that I take my dog on a longer walk everyday as a pack walk to help him adjust and get more exercise. That definitely did the trick. I trust Justin completely and would recommend him to all of my family and friends.

Hi! Justin S is like the "dog whisperer" - in the sense that dogs just seem to be comfortable with him. He has a gentle personality and the dogs seem to pick up that he can be trusted and they really take to him. Justin is reliable and honest, so he can definitely be trusted to come in to your home to get your dogs. He also has experience giving dogs their medication if needed. I wholeheartedly recommend Justin!

I'd like to know if your dog is friendly with small children and other dogs. Also if they are trained and trustworthy off leash at parks so we can play games.
