About Justine

I am deeply motivated to be a pet sitter due to my extensive experience and genuine love for animals. Having worked as a foster carer/parent, I understand the unique needs and personalities of various pets, ensuring that they receive the care, attention, and affection they deserve while their owners are away. This background has equipped me with valuable skills in managing different temperaments and health requirements, from administering medications to handling special dietary needs. I am adept at creating a nurturing environment that minimizes stress and promotes well-being, making each pet feel secure and loved. My experience has also honed my ability to handle emergencies calmly and effectively, ensuring that pets are safe and cared for at all times. My commitment extends beyond basic care; I strive to offer companionship and personalized attention, maintaining routines and habits that are crucial for their happiness. With my nurturing approach and experience, you can trust that your beloved pets will be in caring and capable hands.

Specific Skills

I speak English & Other
< 1 years of experience
As a former volunteer foster carer for rescued pets, I honed my skills in behavioral assessment and modification by addressing a range of issues such as anxiety and aggression, employing tailored techniques to improve each animal's behavior. My role required significant patience and compassion, fostering trust with traumatized animals and ensuring their well-being. I developed proficiency in training and socializing pets, enabling them to adapt to new environments and interact positively with others. Additionally, I monitored their health, administered medications, and addressed any signs of illness, while effectively communicating and collaborating with fellow volunteers, veterinarians, and adoption agencies to ensure the animals received the best care and support.
