Caring for Animals is what I Love

Pet care experience

I’ve worked with animals of every shape and size. I have a passion to not only care for them but rescue those in need. I have spent countless hours learning behavioral and force free training to help better the lives of rescued animals. Learning dog body language is a must along with the knowledge that not all love everyone/everything. Working within rescue has provided countless experiences from special diets and medications to pregnant mothers/whelping liters, neonatal to senior animal care and much more.

Thanks for doing the extras with mail package care. I'm so glad our kitty had love and care and fun while we were on our trip. I appreciate your help!

Justina did a great job with my fur babies. She obviously loves working with dogs. She let them join with her family fur babies, and treated them as her own. Will definitely book again when visiting my family in the area.

Justina is a very caring individual. In her free time, she co-runs a pet rescue. She has experience caring for animals of all ages and needs. Justina treats all animals like her own family members. She is reliable and very punctual.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether needing just a potty break or looking to give your pet some extra attention or care in your own home while away from them? I strive to do my best to make all involved feel they are receiving the level of care they themselves would give their pet. When it comes to looking for a bit more social time or extra care when away for longer periods of time.. but wanting that home environment for your pet.. our home is set up with pets in mind! Along with almost an entire acre fenced in we have a smaller side yard area fenced in separately for those requiring a less overwhelming space to stretch their legs. For those experienced escape artists we of course can provide leashed potty breaks or the use of a long zip line lead if preferred. The inside of our home also boast gates throughout to section off different or all areas (if needed) to provide everyone a safe/inviting space. We enjoy having all animals hosted be treated as a part of our family but are very experienced with crating and rotating (if either or both is needed/required). I believe communication is a key part of animal care and would do my best to ensure all involved feel comfortable with my level of care being provided.
