Learn More About Joellen
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have experience with all ages of cats. I have experience with giving medications. I have always had a cat in my life. I have an orange and white female kitty currently. I have done pet sitting for at least 15 years. I find great joy caring for kitties and the homes that I work in. I go over and above with the care that I give. I am an excellent communicator and like to keep those lines open. Kitties give me great joy and showing them love is a great gift. I hope to continue sharing my gift with many families.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
The love a cat gives! I enjoy meeting new people and cats and learning something new each time. I enjoy exploring new opportunities with cats and cat families. Learning new cat routines and learning about breeds i am not familiar with. Learning aways!
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
I had a regular cat sitting gig. The cat always left me rat gifts! Not just once. She loved me so much I continually received her gifts!!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Loki is an orange and white tabby. We are about to adopt a kitten and he is also orange and white. Hobbes is his name.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Meet them, feel comfortable, communicate clearly. Ask questions.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
Find out all kitty info. I do like a list with all the info left for me. I communicate with pictures and texts if that makes parents feel more at ease.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
Making sure doors windows are closed and locked. All appliances have been checked. Clear check in times.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Sometimes depending on the holiday.
What is your favorite cat toy?
Anything with feathers!

Napa cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $37.00. 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!
