Cat Sitting in Elkton, MD

Hi! I am Johanna and I am so excited to meet and care for your fur-babbies!

I am a lifelong cat lover, rescue advocate, and proud pet parent of three cats: Cheeto, Sampson, and Gouda. I recently relocated to Elkton, MD from Michigan and am excited to offer experienced, and compassionate cat sitting to feline families in the area.

Since 2018, I’ve been volunteering with cat rescue organizations, and since 2022, I’ve fostered nearly 200 cats and kittens—including many neonatal babies just days old, requiring around-the-clock care... Hi! I am Johanna and I am so excited to meet and care for your fur-babbies!

I am a lifelong cat lover, rescue advocate, and proud pet parent of three cats: Cheeto, Sampson, and Gouda. I recently relocated to Elkton, MD from Michigan and am excited to offer experienced, and compassionate cat sitting to feline families in the area.

Since 2018, I’ve been volunteering with cat rescue organizations, and since 2022, I’ve fostered nearly 200 cats and kittens—including many neonatal babies just days old, requiring around-the-clock care. Through fostering and caring for my own cats, I’ve gained hands-on experience providing a wide range of medical kitty-care: from administering oral medications and vaccines to using inhalers and caring for post-surgical kitties.

I'm also passionate about cat photography and have volunteered countless hours capturing professional portraits of adoptable cats at shelters. These photos have helped many cats find their forever homes by showing off their unique personalities and charm. If you approve, and your cat is feeling photogenic, I’d love to capture them in a few photos you can cherish forever.

Whether your cat is a shy senior or a curious kitten, I’ll treat them like one of my own—with patience and love.

Learn More About Johanna

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Similar to being a foster and volunteer, sitting allows me to meet and spend time with cats! I find so much joy in caring for cats. Since it is unrealistic for me to have a hundred cats of my own, I hope that you will allow me the pleasure of caring for yours.

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

If it is our first time working together, I require an introduction meeting. For this meeting, I will visit your home and you can facilitate an introduction between myself and your cat(s). We will review each and every detail of how you would like for me to care for your beloved babies and establish clear plans for any home and kitty emergencies. Emergencies can happen unexpectedly and quickly, so it is my top priority to be prepared.

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

Safety and security can be ensured by being responsible, proactive, and observant. While visiting, I will respect your home and only access/use areas you’ve authorized. By request, I can keep your home from appearing vacant by bringing in mail, or adjusting lights/curtains. I will monitor for kitty health concerns (not eating, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.). I’ll be careful to observe any hazards (broken toys, chewed wires, water leaks, power outages). I will be cautious entering and leaving to avoid escapes, and triple check I’ve appropriately secured all exits.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I have so much fun with my cat Sampson on his one fast cat wheel. Yes, cat wheel! Similar to a hampster on a wheel, my cat uses it to work out his zoomies.

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

I have experience volunteering at a cat shelter photographing kitties for their Pet Finder profiles. As hard as we worked to make the shelter comfortable, kitties were often very timid and afraid. Nonetheless, I needed quality photos of the kitties to help them get adopted. I learned to have a lot of patience and to set myself up to allow the cat to come to me, when they were ready. The core of my technique is to introduce each sense (hearing, sight, smell, and touch) one at a time, taking ques from kitty the throughout.

This is the second time Johanna has cared for Luna and Guinness. She followed instructions we left and when she had a question and couldn’t reach us because we were vacationing in a different time zone, Johanna reached out to our emergency contact. The pictures she sent every day reassured us that our cats were comfortable with her. We highly recommend Johanna.

This wa the third time we used Johanna. Our cats seem so comfortable with her, as evidenced by the photos she sends every day. She followed our instructions and even cleaned up the cat dishes and utensils by the time we arrived back home. We highly recommend Johanna.

We have never left our cats in the care of anyone but family members or neighbors. But this year we had a family reunion out of state during the holidays, and I went looking for a pet sitter. When I found Meowtel, which specializes in cats, I knew I found our sitter. Everything went so smoothly. Our sitter, Johanna, responded quickly to all messages. She came and met our cats. She asked good questions and listened carefully to all instructions. She even sent photos from her visits. I was so happy I found Meowtel and very happy with Johanna. She even cleaned the cat dishes and brought in our mail and newspapers. I highly recommend Meowtel.

Johanna is fantastic with cats. My normally antisocial cat warmed up to her almost immediately. I enjoyed to seeing pictures and hearing how my cat was doing each day I was gone. Johanna is responsible, communicative, and friendly. I would trust her with my pets anytime.

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.

Elkton 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!
