Carer

Hi. I love all animals, but especially cats. I am owned by three beautiful boys at the moment - a talkative siamese, a naughty tonkinese & an unusual ocicat who loves watermelon! (all are indoor only). Though they would not come with me on any sits.
I'm currently studying sustainable living and hope to one day (soon!) be living on acreage tending my veggie garden, bee hives and chickens (& probably lots of cats!). 😊
I work 1-2 half-days a week as a Carer, so tend to be 'home' a lot, so I will be at the house more often than not, which I believe deters would-be burglars from targeting the house.
I like to keep fit, so long walks are a pleasure for me. I am also a non-smoker and non-drinker.
In the last few years I have been living back home with my Mum, as she was diagnosed with breast cancer, however she has since defeated it (yes!), so I feel I can now move on.
I have done house/pet sitting in the past (>10 years ago), so thought this would be a good opportunity to try it again to get Mum used to me not being there full-time.
At present I'm looking at places that are no more than (approx.) an hour away from Melbourne, but will consider further once she is comfortable again.
I will treat your home and animals with the utmost respect (& lots of love and cuddles!) and leave your house as it was when I first arrived. You won't even know I've been there (apart from your very happy pet!).
I have reviews from other sites/sits available too.
I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies.
Cheers, Justine.
P.S. I very much believe in the saying 'no outfit is complete without cat hair'! 😊

Justine recently sat for us over a three day period. This is the first time that we have used her and we were very happy and so were the cats. She communicated regularly and left the house and garden as she found it. Although not required, she watered the pots as well. Barbara

The cat is very calm and settled after Justine has been house sitting. It makes a huge difference to come home from a trip and not have an anxious, clingy cat! Justine has sat a few times at my place and I would highly recommend her for great communication and for peace of mind while you're away! You will know your pets are receiving the best care and attention.

Justine was terrific. Besides having an instant connection with one of my 'fussier' cats, she managed to MacGyver solutions to a couple of unexpected situations which normally would have required a tradie. Justine is a resourceful and reliable sitter!

Justine turned up exactly on the dot that she said she would. She was great at communicating. When I got home it was a real treat that Justine had left the place so clean and tidy and even managed to wash the bedsheets! The cat was very happy and settled because he had been so well looked up. I'd recommend Justine for anyone looking for a house and pet sitter.

Justine came to the rescue when our pre-arranged house/cat sitter pulled out at the very last minute with just a couple of days notice. We were very anxious about leaving our needy and mischievous cats (1 devon rex and 1 devon rex X sphynx) for over 2 months, but meeting with Justine left us feeling at ease and we knew our babies would be in good hands (especially as Justine has 3 pedigree cats herself!) Justine left our house in immaculate condition and we came home to 2 very happy cats. ... MORE
