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!

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!!!!

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.

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.
Forest Park cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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!

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 consistently the best cat sitter we've ever had - she's wonderful with cats, great at communication and just overall a lovely person! She's able to give our nervous cats pills without any issues, and all 3 of our cats love her. We have complete peace of mind when Johanna is taking care of them - she's the best!!

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!
