Availability
I am fully available for daytime, evening, and weekend walks. I am currently available for walks and house-sits but can not accept dogs to board as my family of cats will not be happy with visitors.

About Justina R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have three cats who are quite territorial, so I won’t be able to board animals in my home. However, I am quite active and able to run with your dogs to release their energy. I’m also adamant on giving enough play time and keeping up with hygiene by picking up their waste. As it’s getting to be a hot summer, I would definitely watch out for hot asphalt to protect your pups toe pads.
Information Justina R. would like to know about your pet
It’s clear that just like humans, our furry counterparts are born with their own distinct personalities. That’s why before a walking or drop-in visit, I’d want to get to know a bit about your pet to be prepared for the variations. It would be helpful to know things such as: - average appetite and energy levels - play habits, such as chewing shoes or becoming overstimulated - just average demeanor, so I can have a feel for if they are feeling comfortable Let me know if there is anything I should know about your pups needs before coming by. And if they’re anything I can do to make them feel more comfortable with a new walker, I would be happy to know.
A typical day
I will love to have the time to stimulate your pet with activities of their choice, if you let me know if they prefer fetch, long walks, or just simply cuddling. I’d bring water and a portable bowl as we get ready to explore nearby parks.

Pet care experience
I’ve spent a few years volunteering at a dog shelter and also worked on a farm with dogs around every day, so I’ve gotten pretty good at reading dog behavior and knowing how to keep them safe and comfortable. I’m calm under pressure and know how to handle situations like a loose dog or a pet acting out of character without panicking. I really care about creating a space where animals feel safe and seen. I know pets pick up on our energy, so I always try to show up grounded, kind, and present. Every dog is different, and I respect that — whether they need space, a long run, or just someone to quietly hang out with them
Reviews
So good with my cats and dog and she always kept me in the loop while I was out of town.
Justina watches my cat for me when I am out of town and she does a great job. She is kind, calm, and caring and I highly recommend her for taking care of your animals needs !!
I've known Justina since she was a child, & she has always been trustworthy, responsible, & kind. She's helped me walk our dogs many times & even joined me when I volunteered at our local animal shelter. Justina has a natural way with animals —gentle, attentive, & full of genuine care. I have no doubt she'll provide safe, loving care to any pet & excellent communication with their owners.
