Pet care experience
Rates negotiable depending on distance. My name is Justine and I love pets. In addition to having owned pets for the last twenty years I have worked professionally as a pet sitter, walker and bather for the last ten+ years. My experience with animals includes dogs, cats, birds, fish, chickens, equines, goats, sheep and rabbits. As a private contractor I have worked with private individuals and households including high-profile clients while in Los Angeles/Hollywood. I have also been hired overseas for work-away in England where I took care of chickens, rabbits, cats and even did some gardening for two weeks. I also lived on a farm and cared for barn animals for a month. In the corporate world, I worked for a year at a Los Angeles-based company called “Healthy Spot” as a bather and day-care manager. Apart from general pet-care duties such as walking, feeding and playing, I also have experience administering medicine, adhering to dietary needs, and de-escalating dangerous, panicked, or emergency situations. Your pet will be in good hands should the need arise. As part of my services, I provide pictures, excrement clean-up, lots of belly rubs, and plenty of playtime. Dogs, especially, have a natural affinity for me - I love them and they love me. I’m so excited to meet new furry friends! If your dog is socially acclimated, I have a membership to the dog-park next to my house where they can socialize with other dogs. If you would like your pup bathed, happy to discuss! Looking forward to make furry friends with your pet!
Reviews
Justine was great! she is very accommodating and great with our puppy!
Finding someone overnight for our rottie is always a challenge. This was the first time using Justine and we are so happy we found her. Our rott can be a little anxious/unsure around new people- but from the meet and greet we knew then she would be able to make him feel comfortable and handle any obstacle-and that is just what she did. She was reliable, checked in with us multiple times, and sent us photos/videos throughout the stay. We will definitely be using Justine again!!
Justine was great as an overnight sitter for our dog. She was responsive and always texted/called when she said she would or when I inquired about how our dog was doing. It gave me peace of mind to know our golden was happy at home and I could depend on Justine to look after our house as well. I highly recommend using Justine as a dog/house sitter!
I highly recommend Justine to take good care of your pet. Recently, she stayed at our home and watched our 14-year-old dog while we were out of town for a week. Our dog required extra attention (needed to be carried at times and administered medication) which was no issue for Justine. She was once a dog owner and knows what it takes to care for one. In addition to providing care for our dog, Justine took wonderful care of our home and garden. She knows how to handle issues if they arise. Justine will keep you well informed of your pet's progress. We were able to completely relax knowing our pet was in good hands.

I treat pets like family, because that’s what they are. They are the silent heroes of the day. Healthy snacks, play time, fresh air and sniffs, these are all important aspects to caring for a loved one :-)
Home
Information Justine F. would like to know about your pet
I would love to do a meet-and-greet with your dog/pet so they get to know me and my scent and where I can discuss your pet's preferences. Like people, pets have personalities and not all react the same to playtime, discipline, eating, etc and I find it very important to distinguish those characteristics.
A typical day
There is a dog park near me as well as a regular park where we will go on walks, chase balls, bathe in a creek (with permission from you as the owner) and generally roll in the grass beneath the sun. If the dog is trained off leash, there will be plenty of opportunities to run no where near roads.
