Law Student - Expert Canine Cuddler

Pet care experience

The two loves of my life are Bonnie, a red toy poodle clocking in at a very intimidating five and a half pounds, and Rosie, a red and black Pomeranian mix with the cutest snout in the world. My family has had Bonnie since she was a puppy (she’s eleven now), and we adopted Rosie at age nine back in 2017. I started my Rover profile five years ago and spent my days post-college caring for dozens of dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m excited about getting back to my passion, which is caring for pups. I'm an incredibly active, nurturing, and attentive person who will treat your dog like part of my family!

Justine watched my two little loves while I was away and I could have not found a better pet sitter. Bianca, my older Maltese is a little weary

I booked with Justine to pet sitter my 3 pets (1 dog and 2 cats) for a few nights last minute...She was incredible! Very reliable, professional and yet sweet! The pets loved having her companion and immediately felt she has part of the family, maybe because she really keept our pets routine (energetic pets) and this made them fell comfortable and safe around her. IF you are looking for someone that will treat your pet as their own, she is the right peson. Thank you Justine! We all hope to see you soon!

Justine was great with Dolly and Gizmo! She sent photos and let me know what type of “business” they took care of on their walk. This is my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but I highly recommend Justine, she is a true animal lover and totally put me at ease!

HI Justine, Thanks so much for taking are of DeeDee during her stay with you in November 2016. Both Nola and I didn't realize that she was suffering from a UTI (which has been taken care of) and that she is so nervous when we are away. You did an absolutely angelic job of caring for her, making sure she was comfortable, and above all ~loved~. We would definitely like to have you take care of our <elderly now 17> girl if you can, but certainly understand if it is too much work. Yes, it takes two of us to care for her nowadays. thanks , SOOOO much for making our wedding vacation trip so smooth. We did realize that our other dog Saber has a habit of collecting shoes. He really bonded with you because he had gathered all your footwear in the photo you sent. Saber absolutely loved his stay - he got lots of attention and was able to cuddle with other lovely ladies too. I sincerely hope Saber will be welcome again as a boarder.

The most important thing to me is making sure your pet feels safe and cared for wile you’re gone—giving them lots of attention and cuddles while also maintaining the rules you’ve set in your home!

Information Justine D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or if they have any particularly serious fears it would be useful to know about, so that I can be extra sensitive!

A typical day

Depending on the dog, I love to walk dogs to local dog parks so they can play with other pets, but if your dog doesn’t like other animals, long individual walks with plenty of exercise are great for me!

I am currently a law student at UC Berkeley, and so I’m very flexible around my class schedule for walks and can study anywhere, which means I can spend loads of time with your pet!
