Johanna was a fantastic sitter per usual!! My orange cat needed medication while I was away, and Johanna was very good at administering the pills. She made sure to update me too. I felt at ease knowing my fur babies were well cared for :) Thank you so much, Johanna!!!!

This is the first time I’ve left my new cat overnight, and for multiple days, and I was so worried about it. But Johanna was amazing with my cat, who loved her immediately. I was really concerned about making sure she got attention and play and Johanna went above and beyond. I also received the cutest photos and updates on each visit. I so appreciate Johanna’s reliability and really excellent communication. I’d recommend her to anyone.

Johanna was absolutely wonderful! When our flights were canceled multiple times due to the winter storm, she was so flexible to come for extra visits with our cats and give us such peace of mind from a thousand miles away. I don’t know what we would have done without her. She followed our instructions to a T, sent loads of pictures, and was super responsive as our plans constantly changed. Highly, highly recommend. We’ll definitely use her services again in the future!

We are so very pleased with Johanna. She came for six visits over a four day period, and came at the times scheduled to care for Molly and Louie. Johanna had to administer topical meds to Louie twice a day and one evening a pill- Not always an easy task as he sometimes hides. But she persevered and after a day, it was no longer a problem. She won Louie over. She was friendly and gentle with both kitties, followed all the kitty care instructions regarding feeding and litter box cleaning and sent photos and progress notes daily! We were very happy to have Johanna cat sitting and Molly and Louie were, as well!

I am so happy I found Johanna to watch my two babies while I went out of the country. It was my first time spending this much time away and being so far from them so I was nervous. But Johanna was very professional and understanding with me through the whole process. She enthusiastically cared for my babies as if they were her own, giving regular updates and sending photos every day. She was also a master at building rapport and was able to get both of my babies, who are very attached to me, out and playing and taking selfies by the end of the reservation. She truly has a gift and I appreciate her care and compassion for my two.

Johanna took fantastic care of our 3 cats, giving each one medication and paying special attention to our particularly anxious girl. We're so glad to have found someone we can trust to look after our fur babies in our absence!

Johanna was a joy to work with! You can tell she loves cats very much, and we knew our kitties were in good hands while we were away. We have 2 cats that have special needs, one has specific diet and the other has daily medication he must take. She ensured they got everything they needed. We are particularly impressed that she was able to get our very shy cat his medication, and he opened up to her by the end of the reservation. Unheard of for this guy! Thank you, Johanna, looking forward to working with you again!

Johanna was an ideal cat sitter. she somehow made my very shy cat feel completely at ease and they were BFFs by the end. She kept me posted with fun photos and updates and we were even able to switch up his food routine mid-reservation since he seemed bummed with the current food. Johanna was just the sweetest person and I’ll absolutely be booking her again.

Johanna did an amazing job taking care of our 2 cats plus our 2 foster cats! She followed all of our instructions to the letter and sent great updates with lots of photos! All the cats seemed to warm up to her pretty quickly, even our very shy kitty! Most importantly, we came home to 4 happy cats!

Johanna recently did visits for my cat over a number of days and was amazing. She let me know when she was arriving, how the cat visit was going and sent me pictures every time she visited. This made it easier for me to be away. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again for sure!

Johanna is a wonderful cat sitter. Our cat is normally quite shy, but she is a cat whisperer and always finds a way to coax him out for play. Johanna is also a great communicator and we have complete confidence in her. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

Forest Park 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 $28.00. 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.
