About: Looking for the perfect person to care for your pet this summer? Look no further! My name is Justine and I have been caring for pets my entire life. Walking, exercising, basic grooming, training, I do it all! When your pet is with me, I will care for him/her as if they are my own. Communicating with you about all your petcare preferences, I will assure you that you can be at ease leaving your little love behind. Furthermore, I will update you with pictures of all your pets snuggles and adventures! I have experience with all kinds of pets, all ages, dietary restrictions, special needs, etc. My own dog, Oaklin, I trained to be a therapy dog and he used to work with me at a school. He is extremely friendly and if you are booking for your dog, he would love to tag along for a puppy play date (which is excellent for socialization and helps ease separation anxiety). Please let me know if you would like to book Oaklin as well for your dog's drop-in visit or walk. I always bring Oaklin on overnights with me, as I am a single dog mom myself. From June 28-August 8th I have open availability! Currently, I am a teacher, so I'm only available 5 PM or later on weekdays, and occasionally on weekends until June 28th. . I have cared for pets with varrying energy levels, ages, training, interests, and health conditions. When I care for your pet, I will treat it as if it is my own. I will be an extention of you while you are away to keep things as normal for your pet as possible. Let's chat about your pets needs and figure out what works best for your pet.

About: I will provide care for your pets as if they are were own. I’ve taken care of my own pets for my entire life, and the pets of family and friends. I was a “go-to” guy for people going on vacation most of the time. My family still relies on me in this respect. I’m big on affection and praise for pets. I love seeing the happiness from dogs, and the peaceful comfort and contentment cats give off after being cared for. I work full time M-F from 7:30-4. Weekends I am off. Im looking for ideally after work if possible and on weekends. Depending on the location of the pet, I may be able to do early morning visits as well. With cats , I’m sure their priority is food, at least according to the ones Ive had. I am also very affectionate towards them. My cats have all grown to love people because of this. With Dogs, all about the attention. I love letting pups know they are special. Ear scratches, soothing words, and playing with them( fetch and such).

“Trisha graciously watched my 2 older dogs at the last minute in my home. She was an amazing houseguest, and was incredible with my visually impaired dog who requires various daily medications. My other grumpy dog took to Trisha immediately, which is remarkable as he can be stingy with his affection. Thank you Trisha and we all look forward to seeing you again soon.❤️”


“Emma was amazing. She took the time to make sure Jack felt completely comfortable with her so they could enjoy a great evening together. He can be a little anxious around people, but he warmed up to her right away. She naturally gives off an animal lover’s energy that both pets and humans can sense. She asks thoughtful questions to ensure she’s following your dog’s care instructions closely and even sends pictures to keep you reassured throughout the experience. We are so thankful we found her here.”

Steven H.
“A Grateful Endorsement of Steven, Our Trusted Dog Sitter For over ten years, Steven has been a reliable and consistent presence in our lives, caring for our dog Maverick with professionalism and thoughtfulness. As someone who’s often away for work, finding someone I can fully trust with Maverick hasn’t been easy—Steven is that person. Even though Maverick has access to the yard and my requests are fairly minimal—just food and water—Steven routinely goes the extra mile. He spends quality time with Maverick, makes sure he gets exercise, and provides the kind of attention that clearly makes a difference. Steven brings a calm confidence and genuine care to what he does. It's more than just checking in on a pet—he provides the reassurance that Maverick is in good hands. I highly recommend Steven to anyone in need of a dependable and caring pet sitter. He treats every dog with the same level of attention and respect as he would his own.”
