Large fenced in yard & beach days!
Pet care experience
** Due to landlord’s request, I can only board dogs 40lbs and smaller. Our pup gets very anxious/scared of certain breeds, to ensure the safety of all dogs, I will no longer be able to board French Bulldogs, Pit Bulls, American Bullies, Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Terriers, Cane Corsos, Viszlas, Large Doodles and German Shepards** Apologies for any inconvenience this may bring. I have raised animals all my life- ranging from cats, dogs, fish, hamsters and even lizards! I own a 2 year old small mixed pup who makes a great playmate! I have volunteered for my local SPCA for several years and helped foster and trap feral kitties for a healthy future. I currently walk dogs and work part time at a dog hotel so I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes, ages and needs. DROP OFF/PICK UP: Due to landlord's request, dogs must be dropped off no earlier than 7am and picked up no later than 10pm. I am very flexible if plans change and would be more than happy to accommodate to new changes in pickup/drop off times as long as they are in this time frame. If anything changes, please let me know at least a day before. I currently freelance and walk dogs part time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pup! My dog, Rose, makes a great playmate/buddy if your dog has a lot of energy or can get anxious! I take the dogs out every 2-3 hours to ensure they have plenty of potty breaks, playtime and time to sniff! I have a large fenced in yard (photos provided) to ensure your dog has a lot of space to run around and explore. If your dog needs a morning and/or evening walk please let me know! COMPLEMENTARY BATH: Having taken my past dogs to boardings and working at a dog hotel, I understand how smelly/dirty some pups can get when they are having fun. Due to this, I happily offer complimentary baths for those stays that are 7 days or longer! If you dog has anxiety around baths, let me know, I would be happy to try for a wipe down and brushing as a substitution. SENIOR/DISABLED PUPS: I have a soft spot for my senior pups! Unfortunately due to past incidents, I can no longer take on dogs that are older than 12 years of age. I apologize for any inconvenience! If your dog is a senior or has mobility issues, please let me know prior to booking. The living part of my home is on the second floor so there are stairs. I am more than happy to carry and assist your pet if needed, just let me know! If your dog wears diapers or has trouble with their bladder, I am more than happy to have them wear diapers or put pee pads on the floor- please bring them. I do have some disposable ones just in case! I also have a pet stroller if your little guy likes to get fresh air and wants to go on walks with Rose!
Reviews
Justine is always a great communicator and sends updates and cute photos. Thank you.
Justine is so sweet with my pup. She sends a lot of photos and check in texts to let me know how things are going and provides fun walks and outings to the beach.
Our dog loves boarding with Justine and drop-in visits! She is so good with our senior dog and I trust her care and judgment. Her pup Rose is a sweetie, too!
Rambo had another amazing stay with Justine. Justine kept me updated with great photos from cuddles on the couch to the different walks and adventures she took him on. He came home clean, fresh, happy and relaxed. Thank you Justine!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large, double fenced backyard and monitor the dogs at all times when they are outside. Because some dogs can be food aggressive, I ALWAYS separate dogs during meal time.
Home
Information Justine V. would like to know about your pet
How are they with strangers and other animals, do they have any special medication/diets/needs? Do they have a favorite toy or treat? Are there any triggers that may make them uncomfortable or scared? If your dog likes the beach, how are their recall skills? Do you prefer them on leash or can they be off?
A typical day
I like to take dogs where they can sniff a lot and get more exercise such as a park. I am one for letting a dog explore and do what dogs do. I love to walk and am more than willing to take dogs on longer walks if requested or they seem to have a lot of energy. Rose LOVES the beach, we take her to a local one that is a ten minute drive from our home- if your dog loves the beach as well, please let me know, I would love to take them!

Availability
Currently, I work part time Friday-Sunday in the morning, so I have plenty of time to play with your pup! We will start our day by going in the backyard to get some exercise/ bathroom breaks. As soon as your pup gets back inside, I will prep their breakfast and separate them during feeding time. If you dog takes a morning walk, we will do so after around the quiet neighborhood. I take the dogs out every two/three hours or more if needed to ensure they get plenty of time outdoors! We love the beach! Your furry friend may be seen there on multiple occasions throughout their stay :)
