Learn More About Justine
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I enjoy getting to spend time with animals that are (hopefully) not feral, unlike the wild animals I help at the Wildlife Hospital. I also love giving peace of mind to pet parents when they have to travel. Knowing my pet is in good hands when I'm gone gives me such peace of mind!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have four cats myself who are all rescues. The oldest is a 16 year old calico named Marley. Blaze is a medium-haired orange menace we got my daughter for her 9th birthday. He rules the house! Moon and Mittens are both timid ladies who are around three years old. You would think they would get along but they regularly throw paws.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I am unfortunately not available for overnight stays as I have two children (Alise and Thomas) who are my priority above all else. I am available for most holidays given enough notice.
What is your favorite cat toy?
I like laser pointers myself. My cats usually prefer the boxes the toys come in. Typical cat behavior, I guess!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I like to respect a cat's boundaries by giving them the time and space to come to me whenever possible. Typically I will sit on the floor and pointedly NOT make eye contact with said cat until they approach. I then let them smell my hand and give ear scratches if allowed. Moving slowly and cautiously helps. Hopefully, we can build a relationship from there.

My kitty is rather shy and this is the second time justine has cared for her and she came right out from under the bed. Can't say much more than a cat's trust. Justine is great!

I was very impressed with Justine. I have never had a pet sitter before. I got a new kitten and I was so extremely worried about him. She made it less stressful especially when she sent pictures and messages each day. Possible vacation coming up in June too. I will be nice to just relax again with no worries. I appreciated everything she did to make me feel comfortable.

We recently used Justine as a cat sitter for the first time, and she exceeded all expectations! She was incredibly attentive and communicative, sending regular updates that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was so clear that our fur babies were in great hands. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be booking Justine again. Highly recommend!

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Minneapolis cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.
Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!

Justine is the person you can rely on and know that your animals are well taken care of. Her entire attention is to putting the needs and wants of the animals first. To working at an animal rehabilitation, to rescuing wild animals in Mexico, to caring for animals domestic and wild in her own backyard, she is a person you can trust wholeheartedly with your home and animals. She's the best there is!
