Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I can provide a range of services for clients including house visits or house stays, providing frequent attention if needed. I do study and research for a lot of my time, and enjoy taking hourly breaks for 10-15 minutes in which case I can play with, walk, clean, or feed pets.

Amazing job taking care of our pets for a second time. Very communicative, thorough, and left the house cleaner than when we got there.

House Sitting • Jan 19, 2026

Justin sat my two dogs for a week and he was fantastic! He was very communicative and easy to schedule with, and he obviously has a lot of experience with dogs. He asked a lot of questions about them and their habits to make sure he could take the best care of them. During the sit he kept us updated with pictures and details about what they got up to each day. He was very attentive to the dogs and went above and beyond to give the more active dog some extra exercise to tire her out. On top of all that the house was immaculate when we got back!

Justin did a fantastic job watching out great dane and two cats. The pets seem all well taken care of and the house is as clean as (if not cleaner than) when we left. Would definitely hire again.

Justin was great with our two kitties. He slowly introduced himself until they felt comfortable & gave them lots of treats. He kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos.

Justin watches my two cats, Newton and Chichi, often. He’s very responsible and caring- both cats have grown to love him. He’s the best! Would recommend!
