Big yard, Big dog, big play time
Pet care experience
I’ve almost always had a dog in my house from the time I was just a toddler. I’ve taken care of dogs all sizes from big to small, I love them all. I love ending the day with a long walk around the neighborhood or taking my own pup to the dog park and letting him run. When there’s no time for the park I rely on my large fenced in yard for them to run around and blow off all the energy imaginable.
Reviews
This was the first time my husband and I used any kind of in-home pet sitter, and we couldn't be more pleased. We were a little anxious to try it out because one of our dogs can have anxiety, so we didn't know how he'd behave at another person's house, especially with Justin having his own dog in the house too. Well, Justin was amazing, and we had such a good experience taking our two dogs to him! He sent us pictures and updates, which made us feel relieved that the dogs looked like they were having a good time. It was really cute seeing our dogs playing with Justin's dog, Burton. Justin was always responsive whenever we reached out, and he was flexible with us for drop off/pick up times. He was really nice to work with. We definitely plan on using Justin again for pet sitting in the future!
I appreciate the regular updates and photos Justin provides. Sadie had a ton of fun with her friends!
Sky came home very happy and tired :) she was able to get lots of play time with Justin.
Arlo loves staying here! Always comes back tired from playing. Justin shares updates and photos and we love knowing our dog is happy here.

Please be aware that I allow up to 2 visiting dogs along with my own golden doodle at one time. So there is a good chance that there may be another pet during your pet’s stay as well! I let my own dog roam 24/7 and pets are welcome on the furniture and in the bed. I do prefer for visiting guests to have a kennel to stay in while I’m away at work but if they are well behaved and trusted then they get to be free roaming along with my Golden Doodle Burton!

Information Justin Z. would like to know about your pet
Please give me a typical schedule of a day that your pet is used to. I like to keep things as normal as possible to make your pet feel at home during their vacation away from home. Please also list anything for issues your pet experiences such ad anxiety, special feeding instructions, meds and how they are administered, exercise requirements. Please also list anything that may cause your pet to become defensive or aggressive towards myself or other pets such as food aggression for example. I do ask that you bring food, a water and food bowl, a leash, and a bed or blanket for your pet to feel more at home during their stay!
A typical day
I love taking dogs out around the neighborhood for long walks as well as playing in my large back yard where they can run free. I live rather close to a local dog park where I’m able to load up the pups and take them to run free!

Availability
I work from 5am- 1pm during the week and have a wide open schedule other than that which allows me to spend plenty of time for walks, the park, and personal time with the pups in the afternoon.
