Pet care experience

Bringing a smile to pets

I love and care for dogs and cats ever since I was in elementary school. When I got a little older family and friends have relied on me to take care of their pets. I am a Preschool school teacher who works Monday thru Friday 7:45am and I am not physically home until 6:30pm. If I have your pet in my care during work hours, I will take care of all their needs before I leave home for work and soon as I get back home from work. If you have any questions or concerns about this please do not hesitate to reach out!

Justina was absolutely amazing with Soka! Soka can be very shy and particular about who she warms up to, but she adored her immediately, which says a lot!

Overall my experience with Justina was okay. There were communication issues on arrival. I set the arrival time for the booking to 6-10pm. By 10pm I had not heard any arrival update. It took over 30 minutes to get ahold of Justina, including calling the emergency support line and prepping to leave my event to go back home. The ultimate arrival was nearly 2 hours past the set arrival time and my dog’s walk window. I do understand there was a vehicle issue and that unexpected things happen but communication is key. I would have made this a 5-star review if I had just been kept informed prior to the late arrival. Aside from the arrival issue the rest of the weekend went smoothly. Justina completed all requested walks and feeds in addition to sending pictures during the day. She also left my home spotless and well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets as if they are my own. I feed them well and when needed, I take them outside for walks or to play, and give them treats. When we are inside due to bad weather, I find ways to keep them entertained inside and also let them rest and relax wherever they are most comfortable.

Pets

A typical day

Fun activities I like to do with dogs includes taking them to dog parks, playing catch, running around with them, and teaching them tricks and giving them treats for doing a great job. For walks I would normally do a nice and safe neighborhood, or walking trail.

Important information to know about a dog ahead of time is if they are sick, need medication for specific needs, if its a certain way to take care of them, any diet plans or food they can't have.
