Pet care experience
Caring Cat Companion 😺
They say dogs have owners and cats have staff. I’ve been feline staff for over 20 years, from ferals to fosters to rescues, and I’m a cat person through and through! I help shy cats feel safe with slow blinks and soothing speech. I give playful cats the zoomies with toys that let them stalk, chase, booty shake, and pounce. I'll even give them the double brush treatment so they can rub their chins against one while being brushed with the other. I’ve also been a live-in sitter for five years through TrustedHousesitters, earning all five-star reviews along the way. You can trust that your cat will feel safe and loved, and I’ll keep you connected to the everyday moments you miss while you’re away.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I bring a calm, loving presence and follow routines very consistently to keep things feeling safe and familiar. I've been known to spend 20 minutes straight brushing a cat's coat or waving a wand—whatever gets them purring! I'll keep your home secure and clean and send plenty of photo updates to make you smile while away.
Ratings and reviews
We honestly cannot say enough amazing things about Justine! 🤍 From the very beginning, she was so kind, trustworthy, and caring, and we felt completely at ease knowing our kitty was in her hands. Justine went above and beyond to make sure our cat was happy, comfortable, and so well cared for while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was obvious that she genuinely cared and treated our kitty like her own. Coming home to a happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved cat meant so much to us. Justine was incredibly reliable, attentive, thoughtful, and truly went the extra mile. We are SO grateful we found her and would recommend Justine to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets. We will absolutely be booking with her again! She is truly the best. 🤍🐱
Justine was great with my cat. I returned from my trip to a calm, relaxed, happy cat. I will definitely book Justine again when needed!
Justine was the best apartment/cat sitter I’ve had! She sent tons of updates and bonded immediately with Kipper. Communication was great and she even cleaned the sheets and towels so when I got back I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Highly recommend
I've known Justine for almost 10 years now. In a nut shell, she is attentive, detail oriented, responsible, dependable and a hard core animal lover. She's taken care of my two cat daughters many times and she always did so with love. If my formerly feral, 3-legged-skiddish-around-even-me-sometimes tortie enjoys her company, then your pet will too. You should snatch her up while you can!
It was so wonderful having Justine house sit and watch my cat Sonny. It's very apparent that she has a love for cats and took such great care while I was away. It was my first time leaving him and I felt very comfortable with him in her care. She had great communication and sent me photos and videos daily of my cat. She went above and beyond with keeping my home clean, it looked even cleaner than when | left. She also washed sheets/linens before she left. I look forward to having her back again!!

Schedule
I have a light and flexible remote work schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your cat my full attention and care during the day.
- CatsJustine can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- Let me know about their feeding and litter schedule, special health or behavioral needs, likes and dislikes, hiding spots, and style of play and affection so I can keep things feeling familiar and safe.
