Safety, trust & environment

As long as I know in advance about things to look out for with your pet, I will come prepared. I gave a lot of experience with behavior cases and will make sure I treat your animals and your home with the care they need and deserve.

Information Justine D. would like to know about your pet

I usually like to know if your animal has any behavior triggers (for example if your dog does not like other big dogs, or baseball caps). And also important is to know if any food allergies or certain health concerns (recent injuries). But if I ever have a question I will always reach out before doing anything!

A typical day

Depending on the animal I love going on walks and doing some training. If there's a back yard I love to play catch with them or even set up some sniff spots. I also really enjoy doing snufflmats/lick mats with high energy dogs since it lets them have fun and get some treats! To be honest it always depends on what the doggo and owner is comfortable with!

Pet care experience

I have volunteered at shelters as young as being 14, and still do now as an adult, and I love it! I have also worked at animal shelters as a caretaker - working on behavioral training, and health concerns. So I'm pretty good at reading animals And caring for them! I also have always had animals around me - I can't imagine my life without a pet, so rest-assured I will treat yours with the love they deserve ❤️

Justine was great for us, she gave Daisy her food and exercise as scheduled while we were away. She also brought in our mail and packages. We received happy dog pics as a reminder.

Justine did a nice job with our 2 labrador puppies and played with them out in the snow. We came home to very happy girls! Thanks Justine!

Justine took great care of our two dogs. She was communicative, polite, and all around easy to work with. I’d absolutely recommend her services.
