Enthusiastic Animal Lover!
Pet care experience
I am an enthusiastic pet lover with personal experience of owning a dog through most of my life! I also have experience taking care of cats for 10+ years, and have fostered two kittens in the past. Transportation is not an issue because I have a car, and I also love having any companions with me if needed for your pet to be transported or taken somewhere! I enjoy exploring new areas of the neighborhoods to take dogs around so the experience and walk can be a spontaneous adventure for them to enjoy, especially if they are kept inside for long periods of time. Tossing toys around or playing soccer with my pet is my favorite, and I would do the same for the dogs I will care for. Not only does being active make a dog happy, I also take the time to have fun with each pet's personality and any special needs they require. I don't mind dog kisses or slobber because I know how affectionate most dogs can be. Is your pet not much of a extrovert??, thats okay! I will take care of their needs stills and make them feel comfortable and not pressured to get out of their comfort zone. Looking forward to meeting some adorable and friendly dogs along this path!
Reviews
There aren’t enough words to describe how awesome Justine was with Lola. First, the stay was longer then your typical weekend watch. A long stay over a holiday week and she didn’t even bat an eye. Everyday she provided me with updates and pictures of Lola. I was certain that Lola wouldn’t want to come back home as she seemed to have a blast. I would recommend Justine to anyone that needs their pup looked after and will 100% be using her again! Thanks a million!
Justine is always so great with our dog, Nahla. We’re relocating to another city so we’re sad Justine won’t be able to sit for us anymore. I know Nahla really enjoyed every stay with her.
Justine was amazing! She sent me so many pictures, was very responsive, and overall just took such great care of my pup. My returning flight was delayed and she was very flexible, which I appreciated so much. I will definitely be using Justine in the future!
Justine was amazing with Nahla, as usual. I really appreciate her.

I live in a pet friendly apartment complex with an outdoor dog yard area and grass. I can play and take the dogs out for walks around my place if they need to be boarded. Also my roommate works from home and can keep an eye on the companion while I’m at work if need be.
Home
Information Justine K. would like to know about your pet
Is he potty trained? Does he enjoy walks outside, or in unfamiliar places? Is he trained to walk without a leash if I go to a dog park? How do they react to other random dogs they first meet? Any places, people, or things I should avoid? DO they have any health conditions or medications? Do they have any actions or words that might displease them that I should not do or use?
A typical day
I would love to take your dog around for long walks exploring the neighborhood, as long as they are willing to explore with me! In the case of a shy dog I would be happy to play with them at their home and outside if weather conditions are warm enough. I love exploring new neighborhoods and there are many dog parks I pass by but never go because I don’t have a pet of my own anymore.
