Cat Sitting in Brighton, MA

My favorite thing to do in my free time is playing with my kitty, so my second favorite thing will be visiting yours! I’ve spent time with lots of personalities and know how to navigate their individual needs. It is important to me that every cat (and animal, for that matter) that I meet feels safe and comfortable with me, and I am perfectly happy exploring different ways to gain that trust (even if it’s usually food).
My real-life Disney Princess personality is conducive to pawsitive cat-sitting visits, because the care and attention to each cat’s needs is individually tailored to them. That also means respecting their boundaries!
My visits include checking on food and litter, playtime, treats, and any special instructions you might need. There isn’t much I wouldn’t do for a cat.

Learn More About Josie

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to spend time with cats and learning about their personalities. They’re just like people! The joy I feel when an animal trusts me and is happy to see me is unmatched.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do have a sweet ragdoll baby! He just turned two, and he’s named Darcy. He’s quite moody, just like his literary namesake, but that doesn’t stop him from cuddling when he wants to.

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

Just like any concerned parent, I always make sure to check food/water and litter to make sure the kitty has everything they need and everything looks normal. For me, protecting the cat as well as the home involves locking the doors/windows and ensuring no furry escape artists have made their breakaway.

Josie helped with keeping our kitten Tiger (who’s 7 months old) company while I was away for a work trip. Tiger instantly fell in love with Josie. Not only was Josie always very punctual and so respectful of our home, she made sure to send updates and made me feel at ease that Tiger was in good hands. thank you for everything Josie and we will book with you as long as you allow! ❤️

I thought my cat was antisocial! But Josie’s calming energy and patience proved me wrong. After a few days away, he clearly trusted her enough to get close. I will definitely reach out to Josie again for the great service, easy communication and prompt replies!

Josie was amazing in watching my cat while I was gone for a few days! Lots of pictures and updates and was able to handle giving medicine to him multiple times a day as well. My cat wasn’t feeling his best too and I’m glad she was there to keep him company when I couldn’t. Will definitely request her again if I go on a trip!

Josie was great with our cat! He can be evasive around anyone outside our family, but she always found a way to track him down and give him his meds (which include both a pill and inhaler). We were impressed with her patience and easy-going personality, and her ability to find creative ways to help our cat come out of hiding! She was easy to communicate with and very responsive. We're thankful she was could help us on short notice. We definitely recommend Josie!

Josie was wonderful again for the second booking. I was in the Caribbean where all flights were canceled for 24 hours. I was concerned for my elderly cat who requires meds. Josie was so gracious and accommodating, among her other stellar traits. I put my complete trust in her, and she delivered. My highest recommendation goes to this woman.

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.

Brighton 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 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!
