Learn More About Joseph

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

I’ve been cat sitting for friends and family for over 5 years, caring for cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Cats have their own unique personalities, and I love getting to know them one-on-one. It’s an honor to care for someone’s furry family.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

One of my favorite cat sitting experiences was with two senior sister cats who were known for being very independent and cautious around new people. I gave them space at first and let them come to me on their terms. By the second visit, they were waiting for me at the door, eager for treats and brush time. It was such a great feeling to earn their trust and see their personalities shine through. Building that kind of bond—especially with more reserved cats—is one of the most rewarding parts of cat sitting for me.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I live with 10 wonderful cats, each with their own unique personality. I have seniors,kitttens and special needs cats including one with cerebellar hypoplasia and asthma. Their names are Chinbi, Mimi, Haru, Lulu, Emmie, Buffy, Nori, Casey, Ember, and Zoey. They’re not just pets they’re my babies. My experience caring for such a diverse group has given me a deep understanding of feline behavior, medical care, and how to make each cat feel safe, seen, and loved.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I start by learning everything I can about your cat and their routine. I want to know what makes them happy, what comforts them, what to watch for, and how you like things done. During the first visit , I give your cat space, speak softly, and let then approach on their terms. I always follow your care instructions closely and check in with thoughtful updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. My goal is to make the process easy and stess-free for both you and your cat.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I take a very patient and respectful approach, always prioritizing the cat’s boundaries and comfort. I avoid sudden movements or loud sounds, get low to the ground, and speak softly to creat a calm environment. I let them sniff my hand and decide if or when they want to engage. If a cat prefers space, I honor that and quietly stay nearby so they know they’re not alone. I’ve cared for many anxious or shy cats, and I understand that trust takes time. I’m here to support them in whatever way makes them feel most safe.

Joseph was amazing at catsitting our two cats!! He was able to get one of them to play which was quite the pleasant surprise! We’re so happy our younger cat made a friend while we were out of town. Joseph followed all of our requests and took care of our kitties in the most respectful way. Joseph is definitely a cat sitter you can trust wholeheartedly. we really appreciated seeing the videos of our cat playing as well while we were gone!! Our two boys were perfectly taken care of and we couldn’t be more happy about Joseph’s work. 👏😊

We are so grateful to have found Joseph to help care for our kitties while we were on vacation. From the start, he was very responsive, answering all of our questions, listening to our requests and requirements for taking care of our two cats. He sent both photos and videos of the time he spent with them, which were really nice to receive. One of our cats is much more shy to strangers and he took our feedback about what he could try to win her over, which was great for him to do. He was very easy to work with and talk to and we felt safe working with him. We hope that we can continue to work with him in the future, especially now since our kitties are familiar with him. If we could give him more stars, we absolutely would!

Joseph was wonderful with our cats, Jiminey and Toulouse! They loved him right away, and he made sure they were well cared for. He sent us lots of cute updates and gave us total peace of mind. We’d happily book with him again!

There are very few people I would trust my two cats with. I don't have to worry when Joe comes over because he doesn't just refill food and water. He'll actually spend time with my cats and play with them. He'll look at my litter robot and make sure it's functioning properly. He's super trustworthy and the vibe he gives off makes me cats trust him, too (which is special).

Joseph is truly an exceptional cat sitter. I’ve trusted him with my cats multiple times, and every experience has been outstanding. He’s reliable, compassionate, and treats my pets like they’re his own. What sets Joseph apart is not just the love and attention he gives, but his ability to handle every aspect of care with total confidence—including administering medication. One of my cats requires gabapentin, and I was nervous about leaving her in someone else’s hands. Joseph immediately put me at ease. He took the time to understand the medication schedule and gave it to her without any stress or struggle. He was gentle, patient, and so in tune with her needs. I received regular updates with photos and notes, which made being away so much easier. I knew she was safe, cared for, and in the best hands possible. Joseph is also incredibly respectful of my home and always leaves everything spotless. I come back to happy, relaxed cats and a clean space every single time. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and kind—especially if your pets need medication or extra attention—Joseph is the person to call. I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Frequently Asked Questions

La Habra cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $35.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Cat sitters on Meowtel offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so you can find the best options which are close by.

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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit typically includes the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
