Cat Sitting in Cockeysville, MD
During each visit, Iāll make sure your cat has fresh food and w... Hi! Iām Joshua, and Iām a reliable and caring pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I have experience caring for pets and understand how important it is to keep them comfortable and on their normal routine while their owners are away. I also have pets of my own, so I know how much trust goes into having someone care for your animals and your home.
During each visit, Iāll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, attention, playtime, and plenty of affection if theyāre comfortable with it. Iām happy to follow your instructions closely and send photos and updates so you know how your cat is doing.
Iām patient with shy or independent cats and will let them warm up to me at their own pace. My goal is to make each visit calm, positive, and as close to their normal routine as possible. Iād love to meet you and your cat!
Learn More About Joshua
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been offering professional pet-sitting services for over a year through platforms like Rover and Wag. During this time, Iāve cared for cats of all temperaments and needs, managing daily feeding routines, litter box maintenance, play, and scheduled medication when needed.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love building trust with each cat at their own pace. Every cat has a unique personalityāwhether theyāre energetic and playful or quiet and independentāand there's nothing more rewarding than seeing a cat feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy in their own home while their owners are away.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
My favorite reservation was caring for a timid cat who initially spent most of the visit hiding under the couch. Instead of forcing interaction, I sat quietly nearby, talked softly, and let them get comfortable with my presence. By the second day, they came out on their own, started headbutting my hand for pets, and spent the rest of the visits purring in my lap.

Josh took such wonderful care of our cats while I was out of town! He didn't just feed them and scoop the litter boxāhe spent actual time playing with them, making sure they felt safe and loved. He sent us regular updates and great photos every day, which made it so easy to relax and enjoy our trip. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a tidy house. I would recommend Josh to anyone in a heartbeat

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.
Cockeysville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
