Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog person. Challenging dogs, ok!
Hi. I'm Justin and thank you for checking out my profile. I grew up with a Sharpei, German Shepard and Chow Chow. In college I raised a Rottweiler/German Shepard Mix. On my own, I have been lucky to have a Sharpei (senior rescue) and Rottweiller (senior rescue). I am a dog person through and through. I treat each dog like they were my own and give them the best care possible while their owners are away. I think the most important things when it comes to dogs, whether it is a short walk or a weeks long boarding are (1) advocate for the dog, ensuring it feels safe and has a positive experience (2) understanding and respecting each dog's boundaries. I have raised multiple puppies and have worked with multiple dog trainers/behaviorists, so understand basics of training. I have rescued multiple senior dogs and have senior dog experience ranging from dispensing medicine to understanding that older dogs sometimes just need to take everything a little slower. I have also had challenging dogs- not properly socialized to dogs, leash pulling dogs to those with a bite history. Overall, I will do everything I can to ensure your dog feels safe and has enjoyable time.

Safety, trust & environment
I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. If needed, I can meet ahead of time and we can discuss any specific needs your dog(s) may have. When walking your dog, I let the dog determine how long of a walk we go on to make sure I don’t tire them out too much or not exercise them enough. I also encourage dogs to sniff to their hearts' content.
Ratings and reviews
Justin is excellent with our pets and really goes above and beyond to give us peace of mind when we are out of town!
Justin is great with Mabel on walks. He is on time and attentive to her.
We hired Justin to walk our dog Cooper for a few consecutive days while we were away. He was great throughout, coming to meet Cooper before their first walk and providing great feedback and details for each walk. I would definitely suggest him!
Justin took excellent care of our dog Charlotte! He was reliable, communicative, and clearly attentive to her needs—we wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.
Justin is a fabulous sitter for my Aussie! This was a repeat booking, and Justin was timely and courteous, and he communicated promptly with pics and updates! He is a dog-person who will treat your pet as family! Great sitter!
Justin was great! He was very quick to communicate about booking and visits! He was on-time and flexible for drop-in visits, and he provided great updates and photos of his time with Callie! They went for plenty of walks, and Justin spent extra time throwing the ball for her, and just relaxing at home for extra company while I was away! I will book again with Justin for my next trip! He did a fantastic job with Callie!

Schedule
I recently left my career day job so that I can care of my aging mom. I facilitate her day-to-day taking her to/from senior programs. As such, I do have quite a bit of free time on my hands and aside from a few fixed days/times where I am not available, my schedule is fairly flexible and will try my best to accommodate.
