Cat Sitting in Chandler, AZ

🙋‍♀️Hi, I’m Joëlle! I’ve been a dedicated cat sitter and carer for over 10 years and love helping our feline friends. I’m also extremely passionate about TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) and have been actively helping neighborhood cats, over 30+, in the past couple years! I’ve rescued my own 4 cats, so I get what it’s like to care for cats in all kinds of situations.

🫶I’m experienced with fostering both kittens and adult cats and can handle meds (pills, liquids, or topical treatments). I approach every kitty gently and with respect for their space. Plus, working in IT means I’m great at troubleshooting—whether it’s tech or a cat’s quirky behavior!

😸When I visit, I make sure your cat sticks to their usual routine, so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved whether they’re social and playful or a bit more shy and need some time to warm up...

😸When I visit, I make sure your cat sticks to their usual routine, so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved whether they’re social and playful or a bit more shy and need some time to warm up. I’ll keep your cat's routine intact, freshen their litter, balance their food/water, and send you cute updates so you can relax while I take care of your fur baby. 🐾 I love doing free meet-and-greets (virtual ones available!) to get to know your cat before I start.

🐈🐈‍⬛Your cat’s happiness is my top priority, and I’ll treat them like part of my family! Check out my pics for happy cats I’ve cared for or fostered into their forever homes:)

✅What you’ll receive when you book with me:
- meet & greet prior to reservation
- updates
- photos (minimum of 2)
- fed as specified
- playtime!
- medications (if needed)
- clean water
- clean litter boxes (scoop / replace litter)
- security
- any other additional requests

📍My service areas:
I live in Chandler but work in Tempe which allows me to travel a good distance for visits! My primary service areas are in the East Valley (Chandler, Gilbert, Ahwatukee, Mesa, Queen Creek) as well as the South/Central Phoenix area.
☝️I have service areas in the Greater Phoenix Area (South Phx and Scottsdale) as well as Queen Creek and San Tan Valley with slightly increased rates to accommodate for the distance.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I’ve been cat sitting for over 10 years, providing loving care for cats of all personalities and needs. Throughout my experience, I’ve cared for everything from kittens to senior cats, including administering medications and working with cats who require extra attention due to behavioral or health issues. I’ve fostered both kittens and adult cats, which has given me a deep understanding of feline needs and behaviors. My experience extends beyond just sitting; I also actively engage in TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) work in my neighborhood, having successfully TNR’d over 20 cats in the last 3 years. This hands-on experience has made me a patient, reliable, and intuitive cat sitter who knows how to ensure every cat feels safe and comfortable while their owners are away.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy getting to know new cats! I am passionate about our feline friends and I absolutely love getting to know all cats, and with personalities and temperaments that vary so much it is always so exciting to make a new acquaintance. Who wouldn’t love a cat as their boss?😻

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do! I have 4 cats of my own who I’ve rescued from various situations when they were kittens. In order of age I have Ham (my Siamese girl), Moji (boy tuxedo), Obi (orange chaos boy) and Boba our newest member (little tuxedo girl)

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

To ensure the safety and security of both the cats and the home, I start by securing any potential hazards—making sure windows, doors, and any unsafe areas are blocked off. Before leaving the home I also triple check the doors and windows are closed and locked to ensure the cat's safety. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully to maintain the cat’s routine, and I’m attentive to any changes in their behavior or health. If I’m giving medications, I do so as directed, making sure the cat remains comfortable. I also send regular updates and photos, so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Absolutely, I’m usually available during the holidays! I know how important it is to have dependable care for your cats during this special time, and I’m happy to be flexible with scheduling to fit your plans. It’s a good idea to reach out early to reserve your spot, especially for the big holidays, since my schedule tends to fill up pretty fast. Rest assured, your cats will get all the love and attention they deserve, no matter the season!

It was a pleasure having Joelle watch over our two fur boys! Both our cats are prone to be around us everyday, so it was important to us that they get human interaction daily, especially since we were gone 12days. Joelle saved us so much worry about that and made sure they were both cared for. I recommend her 10 out of 10! You will not be disappointed, she really loves her kitties. Thank you Joelle, for giving our boys all the love they needed while we were away!!

Joelle took excellent care of our two boys for 10 full days. They can be very timid and highly particular, but she was patient and attentive. I plan to book her again next month for a shorter trip.

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.

Chandler cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!
