Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine: I make time every day for walks, play, and plenty of snuggles. My schedule is flexible, which means I can adjust to your pet’s needs, whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddle time. I enjoy being active and outdoors, so spending time with pets is not just part of my routine: it’s one of the best parts of my day.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a family’s home, I always treat their space and routines with the utmost respect. I make sure doors and gates are secure, follow all feeding and care instructions carefully, and keep a close eye on each pet’s well-being. I believe in building trust through consistency, clear communication, and plenty of love and attention, so your pet feels comfortable and safe while you’re away.

Information Justine L. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care possible, it’s really helpful to know about your pet’s special needs, habits, or any behaviors I should be aware of ahead of time. Whether it’s medical requirements, favorite routines, or anything that makes your pet unique, sharing those details helps me tailor my care just for them. I also want to mention that I’m most comfortable and experienced with low to mildly energetic dogs who enjoy a calm but engaging environment - though I’m always happy to discuss how I can accommodate different personalities!

A typical day

A typical day with me means your pet will get my full attention and plenty of care. I love keeping pets happy and stimulated through fun activities like interactive games, training exercises, and exploring the neighborhood on walks. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, sniffing new sights on a stroll, or simply relaxing together, I make sure every moment is tailored to your pet’s energy level and personality. My goal is to keep them joyful, comfortable, and feeling loved while you’re away.

Pet care experience

I’ve had cats and dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I was the go-to pet sitter for family and friends, whether it was walks, playtime, or just keeping their pets company. I’ve also cared for pets for several days at a time while their owners were away - making sure they felt safe, happy, and loved until their family returned. I truly love getting to know each animal’s unique personality, and I make it a priority to adapt to their needs (whether they’re full of energy, a little shy, or happiest just snuggling on the couch). Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority. Because to me, they’re not “just pets” - they’re family.

Justine is the best! She was flexible and kind, working with us when our plans changed on short notice. She's always wonderful with our kitty and shares detailed updates. She even went above and beyond to help us address a pest issue while we were away. Thank you, Justine!!

Justine looked after our senior cat for a week while we were traveling and she was the best!! She took the time to learn about Ella and sent daily updates. Ella can take a few days to adjust to new environment, but Justine took such good care of her I think she adjusted right away! Highly recommend and I would definitely reach out to Justine next time we’re out of town!
