About our guest:

Justina's Pet Sitting Service, LLC was founded by Justina Allen-Yancey in 2018. Justina's love of animals is immediately apparent to anyone who meets her, which is why she decided to ditch her day job and start a pet sitting business. After years in Corrections and Non-profits, Justina knew it was time to get out of the office setting as she hated leaving her own dog, Neville, home alone all day. It felt natural to switch gears and follow a career she is completely passionate about. Justina now runs the company with her husband, Drew Yancey.

Justina has lived in Prior Lake since 2014 and Drew joined her in 2020. Their fur family consists of dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and lots of fish!

Justina and her carefully selected team of employees are here to ensure all of your pet's unique needs are being met. We understand how important it is for your pet to be cared for and loved while you are away. We also strive to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible so they are comfortable and happy while in our care. Our own pets are our family members and we will treat your babies like they are our own!
