I'm Josie
Cat Sitting in Brighton, MA
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 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!

This was Josie’s first time with Efraim. He is blind, toothless, and can be hesitant around new people. However, it looks like he warmed up to her quickly. She gave him his meds everyday, and he seemed to really like her.

It went great! Our old lady warmed right up to Josie - she is the one who needs a bit more help with her medication and Josie handled it wonderfully and stuck to her day-to-day schedule really well. We loved getting her updates and pictures

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 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!

Josie was an exceptional cat sitter. She took care of our two cats for one week, overnight. She worked hard to earn their trust, cuddled with them, played with them and administered medicine to our senior cat. She left the house neat and clean. She was a great communicator. Highly recommend!

Josie took care of my senior cat while I was away. She was professional, communicative, and shared detailed information with pictures on a daily basis. I never worried once about my cat or her care while I was away. Josie did an amazing job and I highly recommend her for any cat sitting needs.

Josie is exceptional! My cats are 17 years old, and one has hyperthyroidism, requiring medication twice per day. Josie was accepted immediately by my Rudy. She responded to him with ease and had no problems with administering the meds. Josie gave me a summary of each visit, along with many photos, and a dash of humor. She is very tidy with the food and litter as well. I give her my highest recommendation.

Josie was great and attentive. It was our first time leaving our cat and because she is very particular/has some trauma we were worried but Josie handled her with grace, patience and kindness and really made our cat comfortable. She was a superstar at administering Binx’s medicine as well. We will definitely be booking again!

Josie was wonderful! She handled everything perfectly and took such great care of the little dude I think he was mad when I got back 😂 She was super nice and very accommodating. I needed the kitty watched on pretty short notice, and she was totally on it. Super responsive, understanding, and flexible in squeezing the meet and greet in in time and committing to doing it so soon. She checked in every visit with lots of pics and thorough updates. Many of the updates were either so adorable, or so funny, they genuinely made me laugh. Overall she was a breath of fresh air and I had no reservations whatsoever about trusting kitty in her care. Will be booking with her again whenever she's available.

Josie did an excellent job caring for our cat, Mookie Roo. She was professional, friendly, and attentive from the start, and Mookie really loved her, which gave us great peace of mind. Josie sent detailed daily updates with photos, and it was obvious she truly cared about Mookie’s well-being. We can’t recommend her enough and would happily work with her again!

This was our first long trip away from our fur-baby and needless so say Josie made the week 100% anxiety free. From her initial meet with Radar to her week with he she was attentive, respectful, caring, and amazingly communicative. we could not recommend her enough. We had such peace of mind knowing Radar was in her care.

With the energy and care of a real life Disney princess, Josie loves cats of all shapes and sizes. She will take excellent care of any cat she sits, making sure to stick to any schedule or needs of any particular cat. The biggest worry you should have if Josie cat sits for you is that your precious pet will miss her after she is done sitting.
Kelly

Josie is amazing with cats. She loves them as individuals and will tend to their needs, wants, and unique personalities as if they were her own. She takes the time to understand and get to know each cat so that they are comfortable with her.
