I love my dogs and will love yours!
Pet care experience
Hello!! My name is Justine and along with my husband John we love to have an extra dog or two around. We have 2 lovebugs of our own Nucky, a 5 year old Border Collie-Australian Shepherd, and Maggie, a 1 year old border collie. So we are very accustomed to the high energy, play-loving dogs as well as cuddly sleepy ones too. We are always doing something here - we love going for walks, hikes and generally being outside. Whatever you are looking for in a dog walker/drop in care taker/boarder I am willing to coordinate with you. We want your dog(s) to be as comfortable and within their norm as possible! We'll treat your dog like guests in our home! John is currently working from home and will be able to handle everything during the day I work day shift at a local hospital. He's confirmed on my account my Rover, also with the enhanced background check. We have a big house and yard, down a long, private driveway, and John spends as much of the day as possible outside with our pups. You can drop off your dog here knowing they will get everything they need and we will follow all of your instructions exactly. We have a sun room your dog can relax in and even an extra bedroom if your dog or you prefer they be alone, but of course our room and home will be open. Any arrangements that make your dog and you feel safe and secure! We also have one large crate we don’t use if that makes them comfortable, even if just left open. We're used to handling different dogs' needs. Our border collie experiences seizures and we make sure to comfort him the best we can and provide him needed preventative care and medication. I’ll work with your dogs needs as well to provide them whatever they need.
Reviews
Wonderful, caring and trustworthy. We couldn’t be more confident in Justine’s care for our dog!
Very friendly and the pup was very friendly as well. I know my dog had a good time and yours will too ?
Justine was so great with Remington! He can be very nervous when going to a new place, and she was patient and understanding, and he calmed down and had a great stay! She sent pictures and updates along the way, and was flexible with pickup times.
WE LOVE JUSTINE. She is the best sitter. Incredibly flexible, helpful, and responsive, and our dog LOVES her. Will definitely use her again.
