Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my own dogs, I handle walks, grooming, brushing, nail care, and maintaining healthy routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality, preferences, and needs, and I take the time to make sure each animal feels comfortable and cared for. I treat every pet like they are my own and will provide dependable, attentive care while you’re away.

Information Justin W. would like to know about your pet

Every pet is unique, and I want to make sure I provide the best care possible. Before watching your pet, I’d love to know their normal routine, feeding schedule, personality, comfort level around new people/animals, favorite activities, and anything that helps them feel safe. Please let me know about any medications, allergies, behavioral quirks, fears, or special instructions. The more I know about your pet, the better I can make their experience comfortable and stress-free.

A typical day

A typical day with me will include plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship! I believe pets thrive when they have a consistent routine, so I like to learn each pet’s normal schedule and keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible while their owners are away. Depending on the pet’s needs, our day may include walks, playtime, enrichment activities, relaxing together, and plenty of affection. My goal is always for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I love keeping pets active both physically and mentally! Activities may include walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, exploring new smells outside, practicing basic commands, and giving them plenty of one-on-one attention. With my own Golden Retrievers, I enjoy incorporating play, exercise, grooming routines, and training into their everyday lives. I also understand that every pet has their own personality — some love adventure, while others prefer relaxing and receiving attention — and I’ll adjust activities to what makes your pet happiest.

Caring & Reliable Pet Lover

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Justin Wright, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with a passion for providing safe, loving care for pets. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and I’m a father of two Golden Retrievers and an uncle of 2 Cocker spaniels and a Toy Poodle. From walks and playtime to grooming routines and learning each pet’s unique personality, I truly love everything that comes with caring for animals. While my background is primarily with dogs, I love cats as well and would be happy to provide care for a variety of furry friends. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Criminology, and I currently work as an in-home mental health counselor. My experience working with people, behavior, and routines has helped me develop patience, responsibility, and strong attention to detail — qualities I bring into pet care as well.
