Information Justine J. would like to know about your pet

What is your dog's energy level? Does your dog have any special dietary needs or can he or she have the treats my dog would normally? What's their favourite toy?

A typical day

Tell me where your dog is most comfortable. I know some dogs prefer to stay in their neighbourhoods, and some love to go to the park to be around familiar (or even new) dog friends. If you have a high energy dog who needs a high energy walk, let me know! We can go extra fast, extra blocks or extra time according to their needs.

Pet care experience

I love dogs, especially the ones that may not be the best walkers and best trained. My 15 year old shiba recently passed and I miss taking walks and caring for him daily. I have also lived with a variety of higher-energy, larger dogs who've needed more help in training and runs. I am available to help if your hours are long or in off times (I do actually work a full-time remote job and am seeking this out because I would love to spend more time with more dogs and dog owners), and would love to spend time with your pup for whatever his or her needs may be (even if that just means keeping treats on me at all times)! Less of a capitalistic enterprise, and more of a desire to hang out with cool dogs.

Justine did great with Charlie! She updated us with pictures every couple of hours of how he was doing. When Charlie ran out of food, Justine was sure enough to update us on the situation and offered to buy him more food right away. We’d love to have Charlie with Justine again soon😊

This was my first time hiring a pet sitter for my 9 month old puppy Maggie Mae. Justine was everything I could ask for in a sitter. She took the time to meet us all (me, my husband, and Maggie) before we committed. We were able to see where Maggie would be staying and the two got along wonderfully from the first minute. I could tell that Justine was a professional, and yet so very sensitive to our concerns, worries, and special eating directions. She communicated to us during the week she watched our little puppy, sending a couple pics. Justine also replied in a very timely manner whenever I reached out to her. I will definitely ask Justine to watch Maggie again whenever we need a sitter next.
