All animals are family.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs as far back as I can remember, often being the chosen as the “dog whisperer” for those animals who are particular. I recognize each animal has their own needs and accommodations can be made for each of those. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, fish, chickens and ducks- but am exceptionally fond of dogs. I used to sneak my German shepherd up to my room as a kid so she would snooze comfortably in my bed with me. I run and/or walk every day, and always enjoy having a few companions on my journeys. I have a 13 YO dog and 3 YO cat of my own, and while they don't like the idea of having a puppy joining our pack full-time, they always enjoy visitors. I have a fenced-in back yard and live in a quiet neighborhood. Let me know if my situation sounds like it would work for you and your pet!

Justina was perfect! She was exactly what we had hoped for when we booked our little diabetic Bichon to stay with her. She sent us regular updates with pictures. She didn’t freak out when we asked her to give him his insulin shots. Our dog immediately fell in love with Justina and so did we. If you’re ever in this area of Michigan don’t hesitate to book Justina. 10 stars!!!

Justina was exceptional. My pup has some issues and she handled him with ease and he warmed up to her quickly. She made scheduling and communicating a breeze. She has my highest recommendation!

She's raised to amazing pups that are constantly happy and excited to see her. I've had her around my own dogs many times(one of which is a mastiff), she has an intense love for animals and I wouldn't hesitate to ask her to watch over my pups at anytime! I highly recommend her!!

Justina is a fantastic dog mom. She is very attentative to the needs of her own fur babies and is friend to all four legged animals. I am sure someone with a heart as big as hers would have no problem finding room to love and care for your furry friend while away.

Information Justina C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you have preferences for what your animal has access to or what is needed for their development or to ensure smooth adjustment back to you after their visit. I love quirky animals too so let me know if they like to play a certain way or with a certain thing and I’ll be sure to keep them comfortable!

A typical day

I love not only taking good care but exercising your animals. Along with playing with my dog, we will play games, have bones, and go for long walks. (So be sure to let me know if your pet has restrictions on what they can have)
