Pet care experience
Trusted Pet Care with Love & Play!
I am a dedicated animal lover with a strong background in both animal care and security. Prior to becoming a law enforcement officer, I worked for two years as a security officer at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium, where I developed a deep appreciation for animals and their well-being. In 2020, I relocated across the country here to Phoenix, completed my Master’s degree in Cybersecurity, and transitioned into a career in IT, which allows me the flexibility to work from home. I am highly active and enjoy taking my two dogs on outdoor adventures, including hiking, camping, and running along the canal. Having grown up with dogs, I’ve always had a passion for their care. Over the years, I’ve been lucky to share my life with a Shar Pei, two Newfoundlands, and a German Shepherd. My current companions, Niko (an Australian Shepherd) and Xena (adopted in 2019), share a strong bond, and I’ve enjoyed watching them thrive together. I am committed to providing exceptional care and affection for your pets while you’re away, ensuring they feel loved and safe in my care.

I am committed to providing your pet and home with the highest level of care and attention. I truly enjoy the unique personalities of each pet and will give them the love and engagement they deserve.

With a strong focus on security and situational awareness, I will ensure your pet’s safety and well-being at all times.
Ratings and reviews
Justin has been helping out with Remi for the past 9 months and she has been a very happy pup! He is very responsive and has been flexible with scheduling, especially when I’ve needed him to drop in on her last minute. Extremely trustworthy and communicative - if anything seems off with how she’s behaving he’s sure to let me know. Can’t recommend him enough!

I cannot recommend Justin enough, it’s obvious that he is an animal lover and really enjoys what he does! Turbo absolutely adores him and has so much fun every time. Justin has been the most reliable sitter we’ve ever had and I have absolute peace of mind that our fur baby is cared for and treated just like he is at home. Turbo often comes home and takes good naps from all the exercise and play time. Thank you Justin for being awesome!
Justin was so so wonderful with our fur babies! We are so relieved to know someone we can rely on and trust. We know we found a keeper when our dogs are excited to see him. Highly recommend!!!
Justin has taken great care of my dog and my cat when I needed him to and has his own dogs trained very well. he has a great house for dog sitting with the large backyard
I highly recommend Justin as a pet caregiver. He’s incredibly responsible and loving with animals, and my cat Mella absolutely adores him. Whenever Justin visits, Mella runs to greet him at the door and even curls up in his lap for naps on the couch. His gentle nature and attention to Mella’s needs show that he’s a natural with pets. Any pet would be lucky to have him as a walker and caregiver!
I can’t recommend Justin enough! Our dog, Tucker, is usually pretty anxious when we’re away, but Justin was patient and attentive to Tucker's needs. When we arrived back from our trip Tucker was calm, happy, and clearly well-cared-for. Justin went above and beyond, sending us regular updates and pictures, and it was clear that Tucker and Justin had formed a strong bond. If you’re looking for a dog sitter who is trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loves dogs, Justin is your man. Your furry friend won't find a more handsome friend.
