Reliable Caring Experienced

As a dedicated pet care provider, I offer a range of services designed to ensure your pets receive the attention, care, and love they deserve. My services include daily feeding, walking, grooming, and administering any necessary medications. I also provide overnight stays, if needed, as well as engaging playtime to keep your pets active and happy. Whether it's taking dogs for long walks to burn off energy or ensuring cats get the cuddles or space they prefer, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each pet. With years of experience caring for pets, I’ve had the pleasure of working with animals of all sizes and temperaments, from high-energy dogs to shy cats. In the past, I’ve cared for pets while their owners were away on business trips, vacations, or during long workdays. I’ve also worked with animals who required special attention, such as elderly pets needing assistance with mobility or pets with anxiety issues. My goal is to ensure that your pets feel safe, secure, and cared for at all times. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility in my schedule to provide ample attention to your pets. I am available for daily visits, weekend care, and extended stays as needed. I work from home, which allows me to dedicate considerable time to pet care, ensuring your pets have consistent companionship and care throughout the day. I can also provide midday check-ins or walks for pets who need a break during long hours. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them as such. My professional approach to pet care is combined with genuine affection and enthusiasm, ensuring that your pets receive not just the care they need but the love and attention they deserve. Whether it’s ensuring their physical health or making them feel emotionally secure, my goal is to give your pets a happy, stress-free experience while you’re away.

One star is too many. I would not advise using Justyna for several reasons. She did not meet my dog's basic needs and she was returned underweight, anxious and neglected. -when I picked my dog up she had lost a large amount of weight and most of the food I left was returned to me despite clear instructions about feeding. - She stank of old wee and needed to be bathed immediately. Her bed and lead were both wringing wet with old and fresh wee. I chucked them in the nearest street bin. - She had a cut on her nose and Justyna had no idea how she got it. - Her profile stated there is a fenced in garden. My dog does not require this but if she did she would be disappointed as it is in fact a tiny covered balcony of about 3m2 with a bit of astroturf. - She messaged several times to say Nell would not walk and froze as she was anxious. This was no surprise. At our initial meeting I reiterated that Nell is terrified of busy roads and won't walk near them but Justyna assured me that she lives next door to a park (brookmill park) and that Nell would not need to walk anywhere busy. When I arrived to drop her off I immediately realised this would be a problem. She lives directly on an extremely busy main road. I struggled to get Nell from my car to the flat entrance. She also does not live next door to said park, it requires walking along the main road.However it was far too late to cancel and then Justyna seemed surprised that Nell was anxious when she left the flat. - The only positive was that I had to stay away longer than I originally booked and justyna was happy to accommodate despite my offer of getting someone to pick Nell up. - Avoid.

Justyna has looked after our Jeff several times now and she is an absolute star. We’ve been using Rover for several years now and she is by far the best sitter we’ve ever found! She always goes above and beyond, taking Jeff out on all sorts of adventures etc. and Jeff really loves being with her - a stay at Justyna’s is a genuine treat for him! Can’t give enough stars. See you next time, Justyna!

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety, especially when it comes to caring for cats/dogs. Ensuring a safe environment for both the pet and those around them is crucial, whether it involves training, proper socialization, or creating a secure home environment.

A typical day

As a dog walker, my main focus is on keeping the dog happy, healthy, and well-exercised while ensuring safety. Here's a variety of activities a I might do during a walk: Regular Walking/Leisure Stroll Walk at a comfortable pace, allowing the dog to explore and sniff. Sniffing is important for dogs as it stimulates their minds. Exercise & Running For more active or high-energy dogs, incorporate jogging or running. This helps them burn excess energy and stay fit. Play Fetch or Tug of War In a safe, open space like a park, playing fetch with a ball or frisbee can add an element of playfulness and exercise. Training Reinforcement Incorporate basic obedience commands like "sit," "stay," "come," or "heel" during the walk. This helps with training and builds focus. Socialization If the dog is sociable and the owner allows it, I could visit dog parks or arrange meet-ups with other friendly dogs to promote socialization. Nature Walks or Hikes For dogs that love exploring, take them on nature trails or wooded areas where they can experience new sights, smells, and terrains. Mental Stimulation Activities Create mini "challenges" like hiding treats or playing scent games to keep the dog's brain active. I could use toys or just place a treat under a rock for the dog to find. Cool-Down and Rest After high-energy activities, take breaks in shaded areas, especially on hot days, to ensure the dog stays hydrated and cool. Safety & Health Checks Constantly check if the dog is comfortable, looking out for any signs of stress, heat exhaustion, or injury. Always carry water and waste bags for hydration and cleanliness. Environmental Enrichment Let the dog explore different types of environments—urban areas, parks, quiet residential streets—giving them a variety of experiences that stimulate their senses.

Before walking someone's dog, it's essential that I gather important information to ensure the pet's safety, comfort, and well-being. Temperament and Behaviours: Personality: Is the dog shy, aggressive, friendly, or anxious? This helps me understand how they might react to people, other dogs, or unfamiliar environments. Triggers: Are there things that make the dog anxious or reactive (like loud noises, bicycles, or certain types of people)? Socialization: Does the dog get along well with other dogs or prefer to be alone? How do they react to children or strangers? 2. Medical Conditions and Needs Health issues: Does the dog have any medical conditions, such as arthritis, hip dysplasia, or breathing issues? Medications: Are there any medications the dog needs during or after the walk, or any health emergencies to watch out for (e.g., seizures)? Allergies: Are there any allergies to foods, plants, or other environmental factors? 3. Exercise Requirements Energy level: Is the dog highly energetic and needs long walks or runs, or do they prefer short, leisurely strolls? Breed-specific needs: Some breeds require more physical activity (e.g., working dogs), while others are more suited for short, slow-paced walks. Age: Puppies might need more frequent but shorter walks, while senior dogs might need gentler, shorter walks with breaks. 4. Leash and Walking Habits Leash behaviour: Does the dog pull on the leash, or are they good at walking alongside? Are they used to specific types of harnesses or leashes (e.g., retractable, standard, or no-pull)? Commands: What commands does the dog know and respond to (e.g., "sit," "stay," "heel")? Is there a specific word they use for recall? 5. Aggression or Fear Triggers Other animals: Does the dog have any aggression toward other dogs, cats, or wildlife (squirrels, birds)? Fear-based reactions: Are they afraid of loud noises, cars, certain surfaces (like grates or water), or specific objects (bikes, strollers)? 6. Routine and Preferences Walk length: How long does the owner prefer the walk to be? Are there any preferred routes or places the dog is familiar with? Bathroom habits: Does the dog need frequent bathroom breaks? Are there any specific times or routines for potty breaks? Water and treats: Should I bring water along? Are there any specific treats they like or are allowed? Any food restrictions or sensitivities? 7. Emergency Contacts: Vet information: Know the dog’s vet name, contact details, and what to do in case of an emergency. Owner contact: Have a reliable way to reach the owner in case of any issues during the walk. Emergency plan: Understand how the owner wants you to handle emergencies, like injury, illness, or a lost pet situation. 8. Special Instructions Off-leash rules: Does the owner allow off-leash walking in safe areas, or should the dog always remain leashed? Play preferences: Does the dog like specific games or toys during the walk (e.g., fetch or tug-of-war)? Environmental preferences: Do they dislike certain weather conditions (rain, heat, cold) or prefer to avoid specific types of areas (busy streets, muddy paths)?
