Dog Trainer Will Pamper your Pet
Pet care experience
Nationally Certified Dog Trainer, Experienced Cat and Dog sitter, walker, and caretaker would Love to pamper your pets while you're away. Hi, I’m Justine. I love working with dogs and spending quality time with them. I began pet sitting at a very young age and always enjoyed the experience. What I cherish most about pups is their loyalty, love, and devotion to their guardians. They can cheer you up any day! I am a professional dog trainer with eight years of experience. I currently volunteer at an animal shelter which I’ve been doing since high school. I’ve also worked as a professional dog walker and dog handler. I have special training in dog behavior and dog training as well as Animal Reiki. I am a dancer which keeps me active. I have no problem with fast walkers and pups who love to get their exercise! I understand the importance of physical activity for a dog's overall wellbeing. My parents got their first dog, Pirate, before I was born. I always felt safe and happy with Pirate. He felt like a big brother! Growing up with a pooch taught me a lot about love, loyalty, and how to enjoy the present moment. I am a house sitter and I absolutely love my neighborhood! There's so much going on here including plenty of parks for doggies to enjoy. Despite the hustle and bustle, my neighborhood has a community feel. I have flexible availability this summer. I am available to pet sit on my days off but if a pup is accustomed to a late schedule, I can also accommodate them during my work week. I am a caring, creative, and active person. These qualities make me a great pet sitter because caring is so important when looking after animals. Being creative helps me adapt to different situations as they occur and ensure that the pets I care for have the best experience. Being active is necessary for keeping up with lively animals. I currently have a dog of my own who I love spending time with.
Reviews
Justine was great. Showed up on time, was very communicative about how things were going and most importantly made my anxious dog feel safe right away!
Justine did an amazing job with my pup! She was able to take great care of my 14 year old dog who has a lot of anxiety. Thank you so much! Would definitely book her to sit with my dog again!
Justine is an AWESOME pet sitter! The animals really connect with her and she goes out of her way for the pets. We have a dog and a cat and they really show how much they love for her so it is evident of her loving and caring ways. I think twice if my dog does not seem to like someone but they love Justine!
I am very happy to write this testimonial for Justine. I have known Justine for many years. She used to take care of my pets whenever I was on vacation; she would spend hours at my house taking care of them - playing with them and grooming them. Justine is very reliable, trustworthy and responsible. She loves and cares about animals, without question. I would highly recommend Justine to take care of your pet (or pets).

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets depending on your routines. Consistency is key. I love utilizing crates- my own dog likes to sleep in his often. I always walk dogs on leash- I prefer a front clasping harness, six foot leash, and then a flat collar with tags just for safety.
Home
Information Justine B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how your pet behaves on- and off-leash. I would also like to know if they have any food allergies. I prefer large canine breeds and have the most experience with rescues, Labradors, and Bullys. I have extensive experience with dogs with behavioral challenges, and I'm comfortable accommodating reactive pups.
A typical day
When I meet a new pooch, I like to take it slow in order to allow them to get comfortable with me. I usually bring lots of tasty treats and let animals approach me once they become familiar. I love to taking dogs with me to the park and on nature walks. I provide excellent customer service by showing up on time, asking specific questions to get to know your pet, and going out of my way to create pleasant, personalized experience for your fur baby.
