Hello!
I'm Justin and I'm in the first year of my PhD at RCSI. I'm from Virginia in the U.S. and moved to Dublin last year. In Virginia, I have a 16 year-old Shih Tzu named A.J. that I grew up with and miss dearly! I also loved frequently taking care of neighbours' and friends' pets.
I can't wait to start pet sitting again in Dublin! I adore animals and I'm excited that Pawshake gives me the opportunity to take care of pets here. As a post-grad student, my schedule also allows for the flexibility needed in this job so that I can adjust my schedule around what best suits your pets needs.
I'm happy to help with walking, visiting, or staying with your pet for as long as they need. I have experience delivering medicine to pets including medicine applied to the ear, eye, skin and orally.
For a little more detail on my past experience taking care of animals, my family's 16-year-old dog has some health issues and is a wee bit grumpy (rightfully so). He requires a lot of attention and before I moved I was his primary caretaker by giving him eyedrops every day, cleaning up after him in the house, and taking him on frequent walks. Last year, I also spent a month pet sitting for two big dogs and a cat. These dogs required two long walks a day, special food mixtures, and medicine. Last year, I also took care of my professor's three dogs for two weeks. These included two young and energetic dogs (a poodle and a great dane) and one old, medium-size dog (a mix). These are just a few examples of the pets I've taken care of recently. I very much enjoy getting to know pets through pet sitting and have gained lots of experience.
Please let me know if you have any questions about me and I'm excited to potentially take care of your pet!

Justin was excellent with our puppy - he was on time, very communicative and overall great. We will continue to use him in the future.
We would highly recommend Justin without a doubt. We met Justin a few times before house/dog sitting for us for a week. Justin was soo polite and calm. Charlie loved him straight away. Justin took great care of Charlie who can be a handful. We had pics and updates everyday. Came home to a very happy dog and spotless home. Excellent service.
