I'm Joy

Cat Sitting in San Jose, CA

Hiiii!

Language availability: Mandarin, English

I’m a reliable, detail-oriented animal lover who genuinely enjoys caring for cats (ask me about all the neighboring cats that make their way to my home every evening šŸ˜†).

One of the things I love most about cats is that no two are alike. Some are social and playful, while others are independent, shy, or simply prefer their routine. I enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality and adapting my approach to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away...

I’m a reliable, detail-oriented animal lover who genuinely enjoys caring for cats (ask me about all the neighboring cats that make their way to my home every evening šŸ˜†).

One of the things I love most about cats is that no two are alike. Some are social and playful, while others are independent, shy, or simply prefer their routine. I enjoy getting to know each cat’s personality and adapting my approach to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away.

I understand how important consistency is for cats, so I pay close attention to feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, toys, and any special instructions. Whether your cat wants interactive playtime, quiet companionship, or simply someone to ensure everything is in order, I’m committed to providing attentive and dependable care.

As someone who is naturally observant and organized, I notice details and take pride in following instructions carefully. I also know how important trust is when inviting someone to care for your pet and enter your home. That’s why I prioritize clear communication and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is doing well.

My goal is simple: to keep your cat happy, comfortable, and stress-free while maintaining the routine they’re used to until you’re back home. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your kitty/ies!

Learn More About Joy

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one senior cat that I adopted from the animal control almost 8 years ago! He is my soul cat and have brought me so much happiness!

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

10-20 minute in person meeting or phone call. We can go from there and see if we are a fit!

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

I think giving anxious or timid cats space and respecting their boundaries is very important. I will quietly sit with them until they are ready to warm up to me

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.

San Jose cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $39.00. 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!
