The Canine Consultant
I've been a life long dog lover and owner so it only made sense to make it my career! I've been training dogs professionally for the past 17 years; I hold 2 certifications in positive reinforcement training, 2 certs in service dog training, and 2 certs in the fundamentals of dog psychology. I've been a mentor trainer for students at Animal Behavior College since 2012 and an AKC Canine Good Citizen evaluator since 2014. I founded a nonprofit that trains services dogs for disabled veterans, (except, in reality, we'll help any qualified individual). I've worked with trainers such as Karen Pryor, Cesar Milan, and Todd Langston. I had a wonderful, rapidly growing business in Las Vegas where I offered boarding, pack walking, and training. My unique approach to dog care caught the eye of a kennel facility owner in Minnesota where I was offered a position as General manager. I quickly realized that high volume, commercial kenneling was not for me. When there are 80+ canines daily you simply can not provide the care and attention the dogs need and deserve. It was a high stress environment for the poor pups and the complete opposite of what I stand for. I've since left and relocated to Arkansas where I'm finally using my degree in interior design, but I can't fully step away from dogs! They are my heart and soul. So now I can use my degree remotely and still hang out with the pups! It's a win-win!

Ratings and reviews
Justine was awesome. Super communicative about our kitten, sent pictures 3/4 times a day and left the house spotless. I couldn’t recommend her more.
Great communication throughout, really cared for my kitties, and left the house spotless. Sent lots of pictures, and was super responsive. Thank you Justine!
Great overnight sit. Thank you!
first time day boarding at Justine’s and it went great! She sent TONS of photos and videos, so many more than I have ever received from any other dog sitter on Rover so that was amazing! Justine’s house and yard were in great shape and her dog Loki was super friendly and got along great with my dog’s. Justine herself was super sweet and VERY communicative! I will absolutely be utilizing her again for future dog sitting.
Justine did a wonderful job she took great care of our puppers and our home. We were a little late getting back from our trip and she helped us out with an extra drop in we didnt plan for. She kept us in the loop and sent us good photos of our pups.
Justine is the most communicative sitter!! Receiving consistent updates and photos about our dog allows us to feel at ease! Cant recommend enough.

Schedule
I work remotely as an interior designer and volunteer as the vice president of a nonprofit. Fortunately, I can work at your house or mine, set my own schedule, and still have plenty of time for dog walks and puppy snuggles.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I primarily only watch dogs in their own homes now-a-days. Occasionally, I will take a dog to my house but that's usually only after I get to know the pup. I like to keep dogs on their routine schedules as much as possible.
Pets
A typical day
Structured pack walks are provided on a daily basis that last a minimum of 1 hour and cover approximately 3 miles. This is a great way to mentally and physically exercise your canine companion. Aside from walks/hikes we also offer slow jog bike rides to dogs with endless energy.
