Pet care experience

Trusted dog walker/sitter

With several years of hands‑on pet‑care experience, I provide calm, consistent care that puts pets—and their owners—at ease. I specialize in working with both puppies and senior dogs: I’ve helped house‑train and socialize young pups while building their confidence, and I’m comfortable managing the slower pace, medications, and gentle routines that senior pets often need. I’m attentive to body language, treat with kindness rather than fear, and customize each visit to your pet’s personality, energy level, and medical needs.

Justin was very nice, and it seems like he took good care of our dog. He took her to the park everyday and even sent me pictures and videos. Our Labradoodle seemed happy when I picked her up. It was very easy to communicate with Justin, and he was very flexible with drop off and pickup hours. Thank you, Justin!

Justin gave our Lab, Vincent, a terrific holiday with lots of great dog outings! Communication with Justin was great. Always knew that Vincent was happy and enjoying life. Great experience all around. Highly recommend.

What a great dog friend! Justin was great with my puppy keeping her active with long walks, runs, the dog park, and lakes. She slept well after spending time tiring her out. He also transported Roxy to vet and grooming appointments. He has a dog seat belt for safety. He is a genuine responsible dog lover.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m fully available during the day and in the evenings. Since I recently moved to Rancho Santa Margarita and don’t have another job right now, I can offer flexible visits, consistent schedules, and plenty of time to get to know each pet’s routine. I build my day around dependable walks, potty breaks, and in‑home visits, so pet parents can count on me to show up on time and give their animals the regular attention they need.

Safety, trust & environment

My condo is very dog friendly. There are plenty of trails and parks around to take them on adventures. It does not have a yard or fence but I will be present 100% of the time.

A typical day

A typical day starts with a morning potty break and leashed walk on the scenic trails near my condo. I play fetch, tug-of-war, or gentle games indoors, check smells and sounds out the window, then head to a big nearby park for sniffing adventures and runs. Evenings include cuddles, feeding, and another relaxed stroll to wind down—tailored to your pet’s energy.

Let me know if your pet has special needs or behaviors like separation anxiety, medications, dietary restrictions, or aggression triggers so I can prepare. My preference is for friendly breeds that get along with others, but I’m experienced with rescues. Always share vet info, allergies, and routines upfront—safety first!
