Cat Sitting in Dedham, MA

🚨Please see note in my schedule constraints
Hi! My name is Joselena (joe-suh-lee-nuh) and I’d love to watch your kitty! I’ve grown up around cats and have always watched friend’s and family member’s pets, I love animals. I currently have one 11 year old black cat, Bella, who is a shy queen and very much enjoys being an only child, but I have her blessing to pet sit for others. I truly believe putting in the effort and patience to get to know cats and build their trust is so rewarding...

I currently have one 11 year old black cat, Bella, who is a shy queen and very much enjoys being an only child, but I have her blessing to pet sit for others. I truly believe putting in the effort and patience to get to know cats and build their trust is so rewarding. During the day, you can find me working at my computer as a data manager for a cancer research group, with Bella usually by my side if she isn’t watching the birds from her catio. At night, Bella and I are usually cuddled up watching a true crime show or reading a book. My schedule can be flexible and I am currently located in Dedham, MA. I look forward to hearing from you if I seem like a good fit! Thank you for checking out my listing😸

Learn More About Joselena

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I love sitting!! I have been sitting various pets for 10+ years but cats hold a special place in my heart and I’m so happy to be able to meet new kitties via Meowtel❤️I just celebrated my 1 year anniversary on Meowtel!🥳

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Cats have so much personality! I love meeting new kitties and seeing their funny habits and making sure they are safe while their main caretakers are away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one 11 year old black kitty named Bella but often see my parents cats Cookie (the one with the mustache in the photos) and Ash who looks like a little tiger😸

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

At this point in my journey I highly recommend a meet and greet to talk about food, water, litter requirements and expectations, and key handoff. I also personally feel more comfortable meeting someone before I have access to their home!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I usually stay local during holidays and have reliable transportation.

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

My cat is VERY timid, and I give her time to feel safe. I believe patience is key and not pushing boundaries is very important. I let cats take their time to warm up to me and make sure my presence is known but not intimidating. I let shy kitties take the first step so it’s all on their terms❤️

Joselena is the best! She has checked in on our cat during several trips now, and she’s always reliable, communicative, and kind. It can take a while for our cat to warm up to people and she often doesn’t interact much with others, but Joselena has been patient and earned her trust. They now have their own little routine! It’s such a relief to know our cat is in good hands when we’re away.

Joselena is wonderful!!! She’s great with communication and takes wonderful care of our cat. Our cat is definitely wary of other people and tends to hide, but seems to take to Joselena even though she doesn’t see her often. It gives us much appreciated peace of mind while traveling!

Joselena was great! Both of my cats were comfortable with her and not stressed at all when I came home. She provided good updates and went above and beyond resetting my litter robot.

It was a pleasure meeting Joselena at the Meet and Greet prior to cat sitting. This was the very first time I have hired someone to feed my cat. Joselena completely eased any anxiety I had and the cat sitting experience reinforced that confidence--she sent text messages and photos. A great experience!

Joselena is awesome! Such a good vibe, responsible and in top of her stuff! Got my shy, particular, traumatized diva kitty to love her and cozy up to her! I got amazing updates and felt super supported. Will definitely be the first I reach out to again!

Perfect reservation, we had a prior meet and greet straight after booking. Joselena met with our two kitties and we discussed their sitting needs. We received regular updates and pictures, all dishes were washed and was on time at each visit. Trustworthy and took great care of our kitties! Would highly recommend!

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.

Dedham 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!
