Pet care experience

Turning zoomies into Zzz’s

I’ve been a devoted animal lover and pet owner for as long as I can remember. From dogs and cats to caring for pets with unique personalities and needs, animals have always been a huge part of my life. Currently, I share my home with a lovable, mischievous hound mix who keeps me on my toes and a cat who completely stole my heart. A few years ago, I lost my soul dog, Jersey, and that experience deepened my understanding of the special bond we share with our pets. I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave them behind and trust someone else with their care. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, affection, attention, and plenty of love. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, playtime, cuddles, a walk, or simply a friendly face while you’re away, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet parents, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and communication throughout my visits. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that often allows me to accommodate drop-in visits and pet care needs throughout the day. I’m committed to providing dependable, compassionate care and building a trusting relationship with both you and your pets. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and becoming someone you can count on whenever you need a helping hand! 🐾❤️

I would highly recommend Justine for any of your pet care needs. She is such a kind and compassionate person. She can be highly depended upon to provide the best care and is incredibly trustworthy. I trust her with my fur baby any day as I know he's in great hands getting all the attention, playtime and cuddles.

I have used Justine’s services on many occasions and will continue to do so. She’s reliable, professional, friendly, clean, and TRUSTWORTHY (just to say a few words about her)! I felt at ease immediately after meeting her, which is obviously a necessary thing when entrusting someone with your fur babies. My dogs adore her and she is great with communicating status updates and send pics and or vids, which help to keep me at ease.

Justine loves animals. I have two dogs and they absolutely love her. She is very knowledgeable so I know I can trust my pups with her. My dogs get so excited to see her. She plays and cuddles the doggies and gives them lots of loving. I also know she has a dog and cat herself! I completely recommend her 10/10!

If you're looking for a wonderful sitter for your pets, Justine is your girl! She is kind, patient, and dependable. My cats and dogs adore her. She has also been great with my more unconventional pets (rats, chickens, and ducks), and although they were new to her, she took to them without hesitation or fear. I completely trust Justine to care for my pets 110%.

I work from home and have a decently flexible schedule. I have a young son and pets of my own but thankfully I share these responsibilities with my rockstar husband so I will be able to care for your fur babies.

No breed preferences I love them all and learn new things about each breed. I would ask that I be told about any aggressive behaviors either towards other dogs or people. Also any quirks they may have that I should be aware of. Ex: my friend’s Pitbull will pull on the leash out of nowhere and snorts like a pig when she’s excited but it sounds like she’s choking but she’s just excited haha
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
