Pet Care Professional

Looking for the perfect person to care for your pet this summer? Look no further! My name is Justine and I have been caring for pets my entire life. Walking, exercising, basic grooming, training, I do it all! When your pet is with me, I will care for him/her as if they are my own. Communicating with you about all your petcare preferences, I will assure you that you can be at ease leaving your little love behind. Furthermore, I will update you with pictures of all your pets snuggles and adventures! I have experience with all kinds of pets, all ages, dietary restrictions, special needs, etc. My own dog, Oaklin, I trained to be a therapy dog and he used to work with me at a school. He is extremely friendly and if you are booking for your dog, he would love to tag along for a puppy play date (which is excellent for socialization and helps ease separation anxiety). Please let me know if you would like to book Oaklin as well for your dog's drop-in visit or walk. I always bring Oaklin on overnights with me, as I am a single dog mom myself.

Justine was amazing with Lily. She took her for walks and regularly sent me me pictures of Lily playing with her dog Oaklin. Lily loved Oaklin and it was relieving to see that Lily was it great hands with Justine. I would highly recommend Justine as I know I will use her again in the future.

Hello, I have known Justine since the day she was born. She is truly a dedicated honest person no matter what she sets out to do. She has always loved animals and has always had a good structured plan for each one of her own. She has watched my dogs and my horses on many occasions which was so comforting to us when traveling, knowing they were in good hands. Anyone hiring her would be very satisfied with her caretaking.

She will love your dog like it's her own! She send lots of pics and updates of your fur baby. My dog is very scared of new people but she loved her right away and even played which is unheard of for my dog. I suggest Justine for anyone wanting peace of mind with there fur baby! She takes excellent care of your dog and your puppy comes home very happy and excited!

I met Justine 20 yrs ago when she cared for my small boys. She’s dedicated, responsible, trustworthy & sincere. She’s cared for my dog Carly & I’ve recommended her to many people as a caregiver for children & pets. She would give your fur babies the best love, attention & the most wonderful care. She is a natural for selfless love & the utmost responsibility.

Justine was the perfect pet sitter! My English Sheppard, Martin, loved all the care and attention she gave him. She made sure he was fed his special diet, vitamins, and that he got plenty of exercise. Furthermore, the 2nd time I hired Justine to care for Marty, she had Oaklin with her. She sent me tons of pictures of the 2 dogs running around together and having a blast! She was very attentive, great at communicating, and she even took the dogs for a swim on our property. If Justine hadn't moved back to Long Island, I would definitely continue hiring her to watch Marty.

Justine Galante, has pet sit for me for years and is so loving and caring. When I had my dachshund, Lucy she would bath her, play with her and deeply loves animals. Now I have a poodle mix named, Daisy she plays with Justines Australian Sheppard. She brushes her out and walks her. Daisy, gets so excited seeing Justine. Can't ask for any better person to care for your pet. She is a teacher and loves children too. Thanks so much, Regina Ledwith
