A little bit about myself...

Hi, I'm Justine! I'm 23 years old and I own a 12-year-old Entlebucher Mountain Dog/Lab, Bentley, who is my best friend in the whole world. I am a university student studying online in addition to working with animals during the day.

I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, despite growing up without a pet of my own for years. I would do everything I could to spend time with other people's pets. In fact, I started my first dog walking business when I was a young child. Every person in my life has owned at least one animal, so I have always had many around me. I moved in with Bentley about nine years ago, and since then, I have fallen more in love with animals and caring for their needs.

How Pups n Pals: Dog Walking & More came to be...

During my first semester of college, I developed severe anxiety. As a result, I had to quit my job as a barista and take a break from attending classes while I attempted to get things under control. My rock through this all was Bentley, as well as the other animals in my life. While I was attempting to get back to my normal life, I began dog sitting. Looking after animals was the least daunting career I could pursue at the time, and their company turned out to be very therapeutic for me. After continuing to pursue the pet care business for several months, in 2018, I decided to build what is now called Pups n Pals: Dog Walking & More. Since the pandemic, I have shifted my focus to dog walking and daytime drop-in visits. I am so grateful to have been able to build a business doing something that I truly love, to have made so many new furry friends, and to be able to continue to grow within my business.
