I'm Joy

Cat Sitting in Nampa, ID

Hi! I have enjoyed caring for one of my friend’s cats who was very introverted (she has passed away now…). I changed her litter, prepared her meals, and made it easier on her around the dog. I also loved her sneaky personality when she would hide around the house! Getting all your cats needs in a list or on paper at the meet and greet or on the day of the sit is my #1 biggest p... Hi! I have enjoyed caring for one of my friend’s cats who was very introverted (she has passed away now…). I changed her litter, prepared her meals, and made it easier on her around the dog. I also loved her sneaky personality when she would hide around the house! Getting all your cats needs in a list or on paper at the meet and greet or on the day of the sit is my #1 biggest priority so your cat gets the best quality petsitting care the way they need it. Your pets are your family! I am a problem-solver and hard-worker, and I am there for your pet(s). I love to try new things and will handle any emergency calmly and strategically. I bring a compassionate mindset to your cat’s lifestyle so that they get all the benefits as if you never left the house.

Learn More About Joy

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

I care for them as if I was in the owner’s shoes. If there is a specific way they want things, that is what I do. If not, I treat it like it was my own home and clarify things that do not make sense.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Right now, I really love owners who get little fake mice for their cats to throw in the air. I’ve heard it’s hilarious to watch.

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

I handle them with more care and strategy than others because they might not like strangers or may have underlying problems. I also consider how they were raised by past owners. Every cat has their specific needs and I make sure they get that.

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.

Nampa cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
